Sony, we already have too many bad game companies. Don't add to the list.

more advertisements = more money to sony and devs = more games and maybe even a ps4 from them soon


logic = flawed

Battlefield 2142 had ad's in it, you just didn't care because they were billboards in-game.

see i wouldnt mind that. like, lets say in gta4 the ingame commercials, sometimes it would play a real life ad. i woudnt mind that, but uninterrupted gameplay is another thing.

Those were non-intrusive ads. Sure they might break immersion and cause minor annoyance but ultimately they were just that. A minor annoyance. This new stuff will force pause your game and play a video ad. Mid game. forget Sony.

Your Character: "You will pay for your crimes today Lucius."
Lucius: "Please have mercy!"
You: "Mercy? Did you give my brother mercy before you killed him!?"
Lucius: "Your brother wasn't murdered that night. Your brother was killed by-"
-Sony Ad takes over the screen-
Sony: "We at Sony wish to improve your gaming entainment expirence with the PS4 with blueray and wi-fi."

To prevent that they reverse the game by a few seconds before the ad was shown. I wonder how they plan on doing that.

i would like billboards that change better. people notice them and they arent that annoying.
