Maybe

the ads will be in-game, on tv screens and whatnot.

It isn't free, you pay with your eyeballs.

Ha, that can be easily circumvented by playing with my eyes shut!

Ah...

Well that would explain Metl's legendary DM skillz then...

P.S.

Q3 was the game that irreversibly pushed me away from Q3 online...

Video Editing Software

Can anyone recommend good video editing software? I just need simple cutting, no fancy effects or anything.

Ads

#14504 posted by Lunaran on 2008/06/26 18:13:42

Advertisers are going to sign on if you can promise them space where the audience is captive - something where you can promise them lots of eyeballs. More popular TV shows = more expensive commercial slots, etc.

Now, look at games like Quake3. If there's an ad on a TV screen in the level - who's paying attention to that? Nobody's going to stop and look, and any advertiser that has this game demoed to them won't be too enthused.

In the menus and web frontend, however - or even better, while the loading bar is crawling - that's where you're going to see advertising.

True

It worked pretty well in the free, ad-supported versions of Far Cry, Prince of Persia and that other game.

Maybe they're going to add TV commercial-like sound bits and advertising slogans to QuakeLive with the first patch.

Hmm

RL would be sponsored by Coca Cola surely?

GL seems far more Pepsi-y (I may be being influenced by Warsow's blue GL here tho)

I'd like to see a full map-for-map remake of the original Quake, following on from the remix maps released so far.

I have e3m1-e3m3 on final beta, e3m4-m6 on early beta and e3m7 blocked out.
