Huxley Game, Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter Game, MMOFPS

Webzen has made a deal with the leading video game advertising agency to bring in game advertising to Huxley. It is supposed to provide a more realistic gaming experience...........Any thoughts?

You mean billboards or things on wall showing different gaming companys?

I'm guessing they hired an advertisement company to think up futuristic billboards and ways to advertise as some of the future sci fi movies do to add spice.

Should be interesting, glad it won't be a bunch of best buy and intel billboards.

If it's billboards etc, i wouldn't have a problem with it. As long as they're not posted everywhere, in moderation they'll probably give the game character. But if i'm in the middle of a firefight and get a popup on my crosshair telling me to "BUY VIAGRA NOW!!!" while i get pummelled by the enemy, well i can see that causing some angst.

LOL, yeah billboards is the only possible way I can see it happening, since there are supposed to be no load times. But a lot is still unclear on how exactly this will be done, im sure if it is done right it will not be that much of a drag and might actually add some variety to the game.

Cool way for them to put the advertising things around ingame would be to give every player some 'stickers' and then they get to go around and put them on any wall ceiling or floor. It be sweet cuz a large outfit could densly cover one little spot with stickers.

Then you'd have "Post No Bills" stencils on all the post boxes, walls and lamp posts

It will be posters and billboards. They did this in Planetside but it wasnt amazingly sucessful, I think Fanta advertised on the billboards they put up, they were fairly unobtrusive but caused a fair bit of debate at the time, as long as its not a conflict of interest.. IE NVIDIA offering to sponse them loads if they only support NVIDIA and not ATI etc. then its fine.

Their line "to add a more realsitic playing experience" is a bit of a laugh though, its nothing to do with that, its to give them more money, pure and simple.

pay to play is every game and will remain like that for a while......

10-15 dollars a month aint bad if you have to go get a dirty boat and beg for change

*wrong post*

BrutusUK · 02-07-2006, 11:38 AM

as long as they are silent ads - the ones in planetside are realllly annoying...

connnnn · 02-07-2006, 08:40 PM

Nobody thought to ask "where's the link to the source for this" ?

It's kind of a controversial subject to get into again without at least deciding if the source is credible first...

I'm just waiting to see the Nvidia Geforce Detstroyer assault rifle or Intel Pentium implants, lol

hmm never saw those adds in PS, I thought they were just billboards?

Falcon · 03-07-2006, 09:57 PM

Well they were billboards, but there we video's on the billboard. For about a month they ran a Tokyo Drift Video Trailer, and it would loop over and over and over again like 24/7. So if you were sitting in Sanc. you would lose your mind because it was so anoyying.

There were also some Air Force Video Ad's but they weren't as anoyying and didn't play over and over again.

My $0.02:

Let players/companies design their own futuristic billboards to promote their clan/product. They will pay a certain fee to leave the billboard up for a set amount of time. Ideally a month, then a new patch can come out at the end of the month that changes the ad's to the next set.

SurfnBird · 04-07-2006, 12:42 AM

thats a good idea

nubs · 04-07-2006, 10:40 AM

I often considered advertising my outfit on one of those billboards

Falcon · 04-07-2006, 01:45 PM

Yeah that would be pretty cool to see and billboard and be like, yep, thats my outfit.

Archerofgun · 05-07-2006, 12:08 PM

I liked my sticker idea, maybe outfits can print sheets of stickers with their logo on em and stick them on their dead enemys.

lol or stick them on friendlys backs and laugh
