It's happening. What do you think it might do with the gaming industry?

Ads in games. I hardly pay attention to them. But if they start going crazy and putting them wherever you see, that might be a problem. It's like they're pushing products in your face, wanting you to go buy it, watch it, etc. Nobody wants that while they're trying to enjoy a game. This could end up being a bad thing for the gaming industry.

[quote="Ginwolf (Zoran)"]Didn't Sonic Adventure 2 and SA2:B advertise those Soap shoes? Sonic used them throughout the entire game and I remember my brother and I wanting some when there was alot of craze about it.[/quote]
I don't think Soap shoes are real, though. Laughing

That's because you EXPECT to see advertising all over the place in sports. It's what they do in real life....

yeah true... but still it goes with the topic...

FPS's have a lot of advertizing too... just like little posters on walls in the games... but i'm pretty shure half of the ads in them are just made up crap...

Actually, the bunny belongs to Energizer. Duracell is "The Coppertop - Trused Everywhere".

EA video games have a lot of ads in them especially the EA BIG titles, but they never got to my nerves.
