Walsingham Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 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.

Calax Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 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!

Walsingham Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 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.

SteveThaiBinh Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 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."

metadigital Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Exactly. They could advertise other FPS games! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThaiBinh Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 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."

SteveThaiBinh Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 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'.

BattleCookiee Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
