Advertisements in Mercenaries

[OGsmokeTICAL]

Ok so I decided to play a bit this morning before work and saw this while playing.

How interesting. I find it kind of neat. I also had an update for the game this morning but I'm not sure if this was a result of it.

Anyone else seen any advertisements?

:drunk

Personally thats awesome..I wish they had an ad with Jenny Mccarthy you could wipe your butt on :-P

Haven't noticed any yet myself but that Surely does look wicked!

meh, in-game advertisment isn't anything new (lol @ EA), but it would make sense if the ad was in Spanish, since it's the official language of Venezuela. But this likely came in the update, but I can't prove that so perhaps someone else might be able to.

Ads always seem to be in EA games now

Also in Vegas 1 and 2 and Crackdown I believe.

Yea many games do it now, I just like to poke fun at EA most of all.

Advertisments were terrible in Rainbow 2, nothing like a tense firefight in the lounge of the MLG and see a huge Harold and Kumar 2 billboard.

Ads are fine with me in games where they add realism. Ads are all over the place in real life, why shouldn't they have real products advertised in games?

That said the Pillsbury dough boy billboards in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (PC) last year were a little out of place.

Yup. Count Burnout Paradise in with the group of games that do this as well.

In a game article they were discussing that this could help bring the price of a game down if the game updates and they change advertisers, it would also be a nice way to make it even more realistic(ie, it changes every so often)

Sad thing is that games will not decrease in price because ads are in the game. It would just be more money in the dev team/publishers wallets. They'd NEVER pass those saving unto consumers, at least not that I'd expect them too.

[Discopete019]

well i mean that advertising can help to lower the price of a game when it first come sout.

I wish that could happen. Increased prices sucks every console generation :(

All I see in my game is Mitsubishi ads. I haven't seen any movie ads. :(

[kantizuni]

^^ I agree that is could, but I don't think that it would. The developers would probably just pocket the difference.
Anyway, all I have seen is mitsubishi ads. No movie ads in my game. :(
Maybe the ads are different for different countries? o_O

[xENVxGAMERSKREW]

Havent seen any ads, but should had been a ad for a movie more in the future not this recent seeing as not that many people seen em lol unless the updates are for ad updates lol omg that would sooo suck lol
