Splinter Cell Conviction to have in-game ads

Your next objective: Meet the informant at Burger King…. Have a cool refreshing coke and collect intel.

Maybe the ads will be overlaid on the scenery like the mission prompts?

You could smash a guy’s head against the wall and an advert for cream cleaner could pop up. “Nasty blood stain? Cillit Bang!”

I expect there’ll be a lot of shimmying across Coke billboards.

Nice one Blerk, I’ve just spat coffee everywhere

Ubisoft have been doing this in their games for years.

Yeah not surprised from it. We cannot seem to escape Commericials even in our games…

This is nothing new for the SC franchise, I remember there were close-ups on packets of Airwaves chewing gum in every cut-scene of one of the games (I think it was Chaos Theory but they all blur together these days…)

If they’re putting adverts where the player is most likely to go, it’s a pity the game isn’t about hiding in the shadows any more…

Just want to say something about advertising on tv here… I don’t watch tv except for the odd show I like but I was sitting watching whatever was on this morning and there were adverts that rolled on for about 5-6 minutes. Has it always been this way? I can’t remember the last time I saw that many adverts played back to back.

Whenever ads come on, I either change channel or just turn the sound off.

I hate them.

But yeah, they are usually 5-6 minutes long, apart from the ones between Channel 4 news, which are about a minute long sometimes.

Thats why God created DVR you can just record your shows and watch them without the damn Commericials.

Yep, I’m the same. I pretty much Sky+ anything I’m interested in and then I can fastforward the ads.

That’s why man invented torrents and streaming (God makes you do it the hard way).

Ad breaks are up to 5-6 minutes are they? Used to be 3.

Didn’t make Chaos Theory bad, I just chose not to buy Airwaves.

Ahh Micro$oft, yet another BS attempts to make money.

That’ll be Ubi$oft, not Micro$oft.

It’s also B$ not BS.

@Blerk: ‘The news came from a Microsoft Advertising’s Gaming Upfront presentation’

Not that it justifies the whining or genuinelt has anythign to do with Microsoft. Splinter Cell has ALWAYS had ingame advertising. And it has NEVER damaged the expeirence.

All the Splinter Cell games have had ads in the them bar maybe the first, they were static ads for a company or movies like in one scene the PC’s have an AMD screen saver on them.
