Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker...Now With More Ad Space!



Hideo Kojima announced this week at the Peace Walker completion ceremony that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will contain a large amount of in-game advertisements. With these advertisements comes some interesting new additions to the game:
  • Assassin's Creed straw dive makes it into the game.
  • Konami teams up with Sony, Walkmans can be used in-game
  • Clothing brand Uniqlo will make 10 special Peace Walker shirts, available April 26, 1,500 yen
  • Above shirts will include a code for an in-game matching shirt
  • A Monster Hunter area in-game has actual Monster Hunter monsters in it!
  • Many other Monster Hunter tie-ins: Felyne, Ration Grill Sets, co-op play of missions and more
  • In-game magazines: Famitsu, Dengeki, Shounen
  • Suntory tie-up: Mountain Dew cans in-game, 8 IRL cans released in Japan
  • Above drinks will include a code for an in-game Mountain Dew shirt (above)
  • Fritos and Doritos will appear in-game as a recovery item
  • Axe brand deodorant will appear in-game as a recovery item
The one that stands out above all else to me is the Monster Hunter team up. Having Snake hunt down some of the beasts of Monster Hunter sounds ridiculous but also very cool.
