Don't worry. I did that too at first. I kept looking at the picture thinking they were showing us a new location.

so out of the 10 or 11 characters in this screen shot, there's brown jacket triplets, white/blue shirt with white hair twins, hooded jumpsuit twins, two guys with red tank tops but different colored hair, and only one dude that seems to look original. seems high quality already |:(

Hope they have uber-original names, like "Buzzsaw" and "Roy".

Already seems like more bad-guy options than Batman ... and Batman controls my life! This one might suck but Baddie versatility has nothing to do with it.

As much as I'd like to believe it as well, nothing is going to help this game feel, or look real. I challenge you to look at the screenshots and not laugh.

I would just like to also say that, I love how these letters from Double Fusion always read out. With statements like " ....it's a nod to the industry that the opportunities are great for all parties -- publishers, developers, advertisers and gamers alike", they obviously have no clue that in-game advertisements only steal away from the immersion of the world you're playing in. It's very annoying when, every 30ft. you're seeing signs for Subway and McDonald's in, what's supposed to be, a fictional environment.

i dont know, sometimes i kind of enjoy the advertising. In a game like this where it's supposed to be an everyday American city, it makes sense to be bombarded with advertising, that's what cities are like. I just wish game prices would go down to reflect the advertising in them, and as long as it isnt immersion breaking, like having a Gillette add in Halo.

I think GTAIV had the best solution; advertisements for fictional products.

I suppose it has to fit the motif of the game for the advertising to keep from breaking up the immersion. RS: Vegas did this well, by blending in an Axe billboard here or there without breaking up the scenery too much. Considering it's supposed to be set in today's world, the advertising fits.

Double Fusion? Seriously? We didn't learn our lesson since WipEout HD?

I think ingame ads work, they just have to become more clever, slip into the environment. poke fun, fps? use relating words like "ammo, reload, headshot, etc" reference the characters, the city, ANYTHING relating to the game. also I think the problem is most of the games adopting in game ads are mildly popular so they don't get noticed by the advertiser. I think if halo/COD ever adopted ads (big 4th wall breaker) advertisers would go crazy with game references and witty ads.

Why is every one s****ing on this game? The first dead to rights was a great game. (I can't say anything about the 2nd, I was a PC gamer then and it didn't come out until a ridiculous amount of time after the console, and only as direct2drive). It was a lot of similarities with max Payne. I was hyped when I heard about a 3rd dead to rights, and a 3rd max Payne. After hearing and seeing screen shots of each,,,, I'm only hyped about dead to rights.

Dude Dead Riseing is so stupid there is no point to the game and games like Redent Evil and Silent Hill are much better. Putting ads in the game is a lame attempt to collect money from what they spent on makeing the first game because of poor sale numbers.

Why does everyone hate on real ads? They don't ruin the game do they? If you are supposed to be in New York, the street would be littered with ads and sometimes it makes the city feel LESS life-like when there are no ads to be found.
All I'm saying is, if there are ads at the Mushroom Kingdom for a Whopper, I'll be pissed. But if I'm in Liberty City and I see the Good Year blimp flying around, I'm gellin.

They ruin the whole purpose of playing the game. For me playing a game is to do something I can not do in a virtual setting. To have ads popping up while I'm playing the game reminds me that I this game was made just to make sales and not for the gamer's enjoyment.

What I meant was that I go to games I can't do in real life like killing zombies, fighting against the convent, and saving the princess.

Nice screen grab but man nothing but twins and triplets in that shot. This must be early.

TAKING ALL BETS!!!
How long before the new Dead To Rights ends up littering bargain bins?
1 weeks has got the best odds, thus far.

Wow, just when this game couldn't get any worse...BAM!
Althugh I'm not completely against the idea, realisticly it could work in an urban setting like this. Wipeout was a joke because of where it takes place but I thought the ads in Burnout Paradise added to it a little.
