What about the 1999 PlayStation 2 advertisement disguised as a futuristic 2078 commercial for the PlayStation 9 [1]? I always thought it was directed by David Lynch, but I don't see it in this video.

Perhaps your memory had incorrectly conflated that with his infamous "The Third Place" commercial for the PS2? I remember a fuss being made about Lynch making that at the time, but I've never heard any claim he directed the PS9 one.

That isn't it. The Lynch PS2 commercial is in the video in the original article, 16:14 through.

This doesn't look like anything Lynch would have made. Quick cuts, tons of effects shots, straightforward narrative...

I have! A more conventional story, but it too bears basically no resemblance to this ad whatsoever.
