German based developer ACONY has revealed some details of Parabellum, their upcoming PC-console Unreal Engine 3 powered first person shooter that they announced a year ago. According to a press release, the game is "based in the near future and revolves around a terrorist threat in New York City." The game should be finished in 2007. The press release also announcing that ACONY has signed a deal with Massive Network (recently purchased by Microsoft) to provide in-game ads for Parabellum. Word is: "the addition of ACONY to the Massive Network bolsters Massive's roster of gaming partners to more than 38 publishers and developers with a total pipeline of over 100 games, representing the single largest video game advertising network."

I wouldn't mind seeing ads in a game like that, because we all know NYC is one big ad anyways. Heck, it'd even been cool if it were mimicked exactly as in the real world. What'll start to irk me though, and force me to tighten the grip on my wallet will be ads that have no business in a game and therefore stick out like a sore thumb. For example, a 21st century product in a 18th century game... The list could go on forever. I just hope they mind thier greed and don't take it too far. It should be OK for companies to just "break even".

Ads in games doesn't bother me either but I have to agree with you. There would have to be some sort of control on what gets in there and fits uniformly to the game. I mean, do you want a VD treatment to pop up in a Jack the Ripper game? Not likely...

Ads don't bother me at all. If it's not technology related, it might as not be in my face because I see right thru them anyhow. I think it's sad that they have to push their products into another area especially one that has been absent from advertisers since the start practically.

I prefer not to see some stupid tampon commercial in a heavy shooter. That will really take the mood away. So there just needs to be some sort of control on what gets in there.
