What Is The Reload And The Arrival? Find Out Tomorrow
See Full ImageThey aren't long, but they're certainly intriguing.
A couple mysterious new videos have appeared on the PlayStation Channel; the first is entitled, "The Reload." We see a woman (the same woman to briefly appear in that now-classic Michael ad) apparently reloading a weapon, only to be interrupted by what seems to be...something approaching.
Then there's "The Arrival," which has the same woman accepting a shipment of some kind. Both videos end with the 10.23.12 date, which means we'll discover the secret tomorrow. But in the meantime, everyone is trying to figure it out. What could it be? Is it something totally earth-shattering or is it something boring that doesn't warrant such mystery at all? Maybe it's something super special for the holiday season that we didn't expect, or maybe it's the PS4! ...okay, it isn't the PS4. Just felt like saying it.

That appears to be.....a buster sword? Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the FFVII AC version.

The 3rd video seems to give away the most information; ice cream cone on the floor, bullet casings, machete, etc.
2nd video shows what looks like Helgan alphabet.
1st video has a light box that reads: "SARU!" on top and "GET YOU!" on the bottom. Next to that is a logo that is difficult to read, but second word says "CITY".
For what it's worth.
Took lots of still shots. Will post on youtube when time permits.

"The Reload" showed the arrival of Cole MacGrath, while teasing the games Metal Gear, Ape Escape, Devil May Cry, and LittleBigPlanet.
(MGS Uzi submachinegun, 'SARU! Get you!' sign, LBP score bubble, and Limbo City postcard)
"The Arrival" showed the arrival of Nathan Drake, while teasing the games Jak & Daxter, Heavenly Sword, and Ratchet & Clank.
(J&D text on license plate [which reads 'Morgan'--as in the late Black Labrador owned by Jason Rubin, cofounder of Naughty Dog], Nariko's Heavenly Sword in a frame above the desk, and Lombaxian script)
"The Aftermath" shows the arrival of Sweet Tooth, while showing little to no teases to other games.
(Sweet Tooth's machete)
The typewriter in "The Arrival" is in Lombaxian font. The message reads:
"Dear Copernicus,
We have received your letter and regret to inform you Captain"
Obvious reference to one Copernicus Leslie Qwark on his letter asking SuperBot to put him in All-Stars but rejecting him.
Any questions?

They did the same thing for Michael, looks similarly shot, and that looks like the same actress from the Michael commercial. And while Michael was cool, it really did not warrant those cliffhanger teasing commercials.

I don't like the marketting of this. I agree with TwistedFloyd. The level of secrecy isn't warranted to advertise this title, which has already been announced, previewed, and so forth.
