Damn, they need this tech in all games, especially Kojima ones. Long cutscene? Just shout a random product sponsor!

iPod! Regain! Triumph!

 

[Satchel]

That little square in the bottom right corner of the dashboard suddenly isn't looking so bad

 

[The Hermit]

today´s conference is very promising...

 

[Herbspiceguy]

I'm surprised they used a real brand name for a patent illustration...

Makes me wonder if they already made deals for this.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Not ordering MacDonald's from the comfort of my couch. Not doing it. Still funny.

[PetriP-TNT]

I was going to shop the McD one with HAIL KAZ but got lazy

 

[thetrin]

Pretty much.

"a challenge to be fully dressed"? I'm not entirely sure that's much of a challenge.

 

[Ran rp]

Oh dear.

So TV ads are going to turn into internet ads? Oh boy.

 

[FonkyByNature]

If that patent was made by Microsoft...

 

[pieatorium]

I thought we had seen this before a long time ago?

 

[onQ123]

Late I posted this last year!


Sony Patent: convert TV commercials into interactive PlayStation Move games & More.

 

[Aeana]

If that patent was made by Microsoft...

Then... What?

 

[zoukka]

I have seen the future... and it was terrible.

 

[Zee-Row]

They want to compete with Microsoft with the Ads too huh?

 

[timetokill]

Please make this reality... please make this reality....

oh man I can't stop laughing

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Then... What?

The Kinect will take a picture when you shout McDonalds and you are allowing them to use your face and image for advertising ;P

 

[Warm Machine]

This is like Punch the Monkey flash ads from more than 7 years ago.

And yeah, if MS did this patent people would be out torching things.

 

[ActStriker]

This is gonna pay for free online.

 

[Majine]

 

[sublimit]

This looks so anti-consumer and so stupid that i don't think it will ever happen.
But if this is the future then i'm going full retro.

i knew it!

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Can anyone with better skills than I avatarize the MCDONALDS! guy?

 

[I H8 Memes]

You've got to be kidding me....


The day this garbage comes to PC gaming is, I FUCKING SWEAR TO ZEUS, the last day I ever play a videogame. Videogames are becoming the lowest form of art. It's a disgrace. You knows those cheap tiny comics that you used to get from the 25c coin up machines? They come in that plastic shell right. Higher art than most videogames nowadays.

 

[Shaanyboi]

oh god, that guy exclaiming "MCDONALD'S!"...

It's like those Garfield comics where they remove Garfield.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

hahahaha MCDONALDS!

You say that like people are happy or not making negative comments about it as it is.
I think some of you guys just invent system wars nonsense in your minds.

 

[Singularity42]

Just another sign that we are all living in a simulation

 

[ironcreed]

LOL, this is hilarious. They have a lot of shit patented, let's just hope none of this rears it's head tonight or things could get ugly... fast. Throw dat pickle.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

bwahahah flawless

 

[RickA238]

So glad I cancelled my television service last week. Pavlovian rubbish.

 

[Tunesmith]

The patent made me make this;

Don't try to deny that there has been a rising tide in ad based anger towards MS over the last while stemming from the dash and paywalls. Quantifiable reasons for people to be upset, reasonable or not. Then Sony does this and makes it kind of funny and cute.

 

[Mushroomer25]

It's stupid, impractical, and you'll never actually see this happen.

 

[jackal27]

NOOOOOOOO!! Why does everything have to be so terrible... I'm just going to go play my Super Nintendo...

But seriously, if shit like this becomes the norm, I will drop console gaming altogether and do what I'm pretty much doing already. That is, playing cheap indie games on my PC alongside my 3DS.

[FonkyByNature]

Then... What?

LOL then what ? Didn't you get the notice, everytime there's talk about Microsoft or Xbox Live, people whine about ads are this ads are that. Now Sony is thinking about it too, maybe even implementing it in their next console... But the meltdowns are not even comparable.

Bottom line is, all companies want to make money, advertising is a huge part of the next gen strategy, both Microsoft and Sony will do it.

 

[Spierek]

This one is painfully true. I do hope that these patents were registered just for the sake of registering them, not for actual use.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

This is so hilarious that I'm not even mad.

Oh I'd like a source for that.

 

[enzo_gt]

It's stupid, impractical, and you'll never actually see this happen.

Also, it's failed when its been implemented on streaming video on PCs.

The same people who believe this will happen are the ones that believe Microsoft will be recording video of you 24/7 Big Brother style using Kinect. This is only slightly more plausible.

It's equally bad no matter who does it.

I wanna be that guy. He's so enthusiastic. Seems to be a content sort of chap. A man can dream!

I can't tell who's joking anymore.
