What do you think about this kind of marketing in video games? Yay or nay...

What do you think about this kind of marketing in video games? Yay or nay? I think the Jap version of Shenmue did the same thing with coke and some other shit.

...

Honestly it gives the world a sense of authenticity. Real brands and real locations as opposed to fake ones makes it feel real.

I haven't seen a White Castle in 20 years. Overall I don't mind it. It adds to the immersion.

Advertising is everywhere, while obvious knock offs can work, having actual advertising in a game makes it feel so much more realistic.

Assuming it's set in the real world.

even not in the real world
like people drinking coke in a sci-fi setting wouldn't upset me
and as long as it's just in the game universe not really intrusive there is nothing wrong about it

If it's a game set in modern times or slightly into the future, I'd rather have real location like this than made up ones. Makes it a bit more immersive. Otherwise it can fuck off.

What about having only certain real brands and the rest are fake?
And the real brands are all placed front and center and are untouched by destruction?

White castle sucks

I'd still count that as real world. If it's trying to be set on earth, then it's fine, but I don't want to see Coca Cola ads all over fucking Star Wars or something.

Homefront was shit. Nobody eats at White Castle.

Subway on the other hand, now THAT'S a meal!

>there is nothing wrong with intrusion of content due to monetary incentive

the state of amerimutts everyone

fuck off with your shit taste

Nigga if advertisements are everywhere IRL, why wouldn't they be everywhere in a game world?

This shit has been around forever anyway

>Id rather see signs for McDudleys and Boca-Cola which immediately make me think of that product anyways but now im no longer immersed in the games world
If i had to choose between those two id rather just see the real thing. However id much rather just not see either at all.

Says the guys with Advertisments for Arqb airlines on their sports teams jerseys...

SW has already sold out so much that a Coke machine on some weird ass planet wouldn't even seem out of place now.

I know you're just being cynical because it's hip to hate on star wars right now, but it completely fucking would.

>advertising is fine if everyone does it!!1
>f-fake ads are just like the real ones, so why care??
>muh airbnb

Why? Out of the millions of planets in that universe with billions of species it's not unreasonable to think some creature came up with the idea of making soda too and just happened to make the logo white letters on a red background.

Because that's a huge fucking stretch.

I honestly don't care because advertising only affects brainlets.

So long as it's not shoved in your face and it fits within the game's universe it's all good.

Look at how close all these were designed and they live on the same planet. Coincidences happen.

Those are fucking birds. Fuck off.

Can your Amerimutt defeat my Cybermutt though?

That's the point, they happened by accident. An intelligent alien designing a product is even more likely because it deliberately made those choices on purpose.

I love Sup Forums so fucking much.

>cant handle the bants so he has to greentext

The state of euros! Lmao!

>Star Wars having coke ads is reasonable because different birds in nature share similar traits
What the fuck are you on mate

>Please get mad, amerifats
>PLEASE GET MAD
>PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
>I POST THESE IN EVERY THREAD AND >YOU NEVER GIVE ME THE (You)'S I WANT PLEASEAEWEAAESEASEAW
Whoa, calm down.

Depends on the setting.
The marketing in FFXIV was okay in some cases.
Coke Ads in Star Wars isn't.

What's the difference between Noctis eating Cup Noodles and Luke drinking a Coke? It would be better than what we ended up with, with him sucking jizz out an alien's tits.

>direct product placement makes as mich sense as a character who lives alone in the wild milking an animal for sustenance
Again, what are you on mate

Because you can go to the jungles of the Amazon and still see tribesmen wearing Adidas shirts. You can't escape product placement no matter how remote you go.

But he wasn't on the equivalent of some third world country feeling rhe effects of nearby industrialization, he was on literally the most remote unfindable planet possible. Uncontacted tribes don't drink coke, you silly man
