WATCH THIS NOW: PS3′S AWESOME NEW AD

That was pretty damned cool.

I think I just had a nerdgasm. The guy playing Drake was pretty spot on. Think I'm gonna have to watch it a few times to pick up on people (didn't recognize a lot).

OK, that was just great.

Also, so we can start the game character Where's Waldo early:

--Nathan Drake talking to Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII at the bar.

--Cole from Infamous, "Half the city hated me.", there's a Helghast grunt hanging out behind him (it's the eyes)

--Solid Snake, "War has changed"

--Agent 47 from Hitman (I dont know what that thing is he's sitting across from), then Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal, Chell from Portal pops out behind him.

--Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet playing chess

--Kratos and Athena from God of War (even though, Gaia's the narrator, goddammit.). Paul Phoenix from Tekken's behind her during the closeup.

--1:35, Isaac from Dead Space is on the righthand side.

--1:38, a Little Sister from Bioshock

--Ezio from Assassin's Creed

--1:50--Is that a black Shepard from Mass Effect??

Thats all I got so far.

Outside the bar as the soldiers are walking in, you can see Sweet Tooth's car in silhouette.

Who's the bartender? Aah! I must know.

For a split second, you can see Ratchet's head obscured by someone when Ezio's talking.

Quite a few Helghast. I'm pretty sure that black Shep is actually that other guy from Killzone. I can't remember his name though. There's a Chimera roaring around too. What a great commercial. Makes me feel like a nerd for recognizing lots of faces though.

I wish they'd gone with Altair rather than Ezio, but it's pretty neat IMHO
