July 27, 200520 yr I foresee mods that disable the adverts, and many happy lawyers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes. Then people can start an uproar over "Cold Frappuccino." WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE.

July 27, 200520 yr ... or a nice frappuccino ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
July 27, 200520 yr I don't know if I'm good enough to be able to smush you into a frappucino. May need some more barrista time. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
July 28, 200520 yr I wonder what they advertise. I always liked the Acme company. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

July 28, 200520 yr I think it was either Project Gotham or Need For Speed underground every transition between points was coated with adds. In Burnout 3 they have billboards for the company. In starwars they could do idiotic things like "Hi Nameless Jedi! Would you like some Obsidian Jama Juice?" Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
July 28, 200520 yr It was well done in Minority Report; then again that was based on a PKD short story ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
July 28, 200520 yr If they make Prject New Jersey set in the 50s like I want, then they can have actual ads that ran at the time, paid for by companies that still run those products. Cheap and authentic. Somebody shoot me. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

July 28, 200520 yr Author Most ads in the 50s were for cigarettes or washing powder, I think. Not that increasing sales of washing powder to gamers would be a bad thing. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
July 28, 200520 yr maybe ad's for more... ADULT produts... would that fit the bill? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
July 28, 200520 yr Exactly. They could advertise other FPS games! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
July 28, 200520 yr Exactly. They could advertise other FPS games! Don't see that happen soon Commercial in Quake 4: Buy Unreal Tournament 2007 NOW
July 28, 200520 yr Author Sounds reasonable. Most games come with demos/trailers for other games from the same developer or publisher. Could lead to some weird combinations, like adverts for Indiana Jones in the next Star Wars game. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
July 28, 200520 yr Author Sierra games quite often had 'adverts' for each other, now that I think about it. But this is getting onto something much less objectionable, or at least unusual, than what I was originally talking about. The people who'll want to put adverts in games are probably the big companies like McDonalds or Coke, and it might be hard for developers and publishers to turn this down on 'artistic grounds'. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
July 28, 200520 yr Well, it could work, if well implanted (Not jumps out and distracts, or is audiably annoying) Let's take an example of some nice "good" commercial. Imagine GTA4, sponsored. You walk into the McDonalds, get yourself the BigMac menu, then sit on a table and eat it. Your PC says something like: "Wow, this tastes like ****", then grabs his shotgun and kills all the employers and costumers inside the fast-food restaurant. Fun and good ingame, yet I doubt they will see that ISN'T bad-commercial this way...
July 28, 200520 yr Author I suppose there's no such thing as bad publicity... "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
