Ads moving from TV to video games

Well...JACK and Coke, yes. Coke by itself? Heck no.

I agree that ads in RPG's are just ridiculous. I doubt that game makers would agree to this unless the pressure on them is just ridiculous.

If it's a Sci-Fi RPG I can understand, so long as the advert. is verrrry subtle.

....But I'd still try and blow that sucker up. And Ming's idea of wasting the ads would probably be a good marketing scheme.

I mean, when was the last time any of us went to a party where everyone was snorting Coke while dancing?

What's next? Coke cans in the hands of our smilie?

Stefu? Wanna earn some jack by pimping soda?

seriosly, it will work for the right target group.

Who are you, again?

I don't mind the idea of in-game product placements at all, as long as they make sense in the context.

Say, for example, that all the generic chips and soda in System Shock 2 were labeled "Doritos" and "7Up". That would be fine.

I think many would agree with you on that... As long as it is that simple, and they don't try to make more of it.

In game ads. Coming soon to forum games.

You mean like little ads for games and poly plus in the corner of each post? Or maybe a banner at the top of each page?
