If you’re about to release a video game full of adventure and treasure hunting then what is the best way of promoting it? Why, get Harrison Ford to play it on camera and comment, obviously.
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is the game in question, a PS3 exclusive title due out next week. And Harrison Ford was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of this much-anticipated title.
I can see what Sony Japan were going for here. Ford is Indiana Jones after all, and the Uncharted games are a clear homage to those films with a little Tomb Raider thrown in for good measure.
However, Ford clearly isn’t a gamer, and from the things he says it appears he hasn’t played a video game in about 20 years. Not that that necessarily matters, I guess, as this video is being watched by a lot of people. And that was the idea.
