Seriously fucking selling out to Ford
>>336312156
Jesus Christ
>>336312156
wh-what is this?
what did i do to deserve this?
>>336312156
Is this fucking for real?
Good god, the top comment on the video. who the fuck runs the ford youtube page?
>>336312156
>>336312156
konami needs to die.
>>336312156
They need this with DBZ too
It's really weird
these are so fucking bizarre
of all things just, fucking what
>A BLOO BLOO GAMES ARE MY EPIC SEKRIT CLUB NO ONE ELSE IS ALLOWED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEM
>KONAMI MAKING A FUNNY ADVERT IS BAD BECAUSE THEYRE BRINGING LIGHT TO A DEAD FRANCHISE THAT I PERSONALLY DONT LIKE BLOO BLOO BLOO
>NORMIE CAR DRIVING CITIZENS INFRINGING ON MY AUTISM REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Shut the fuck up you fucking autists
>>336312156
Who is this very fast man, who is running at incredibly hihg speeds?
Can someone explain why they're angry? I feel like if they parodied a famous movie scene for a Ford commercial, no one would have cared, but because a game you enjoy is used in a commercial it's bad
Remember when the Crash Bandicoot creators compared seeing the fate of Crash to seeing your daughter do porn? I wonder if that's how Kojima feels about what Konami are going to turn MGS into.
>>336312156
This is the stuff that the millenials like!
>>336314480
Because Konami's a super villain now and everything remotely related to them is bad now.
It's not any less bizarre than this.

>Jap shit confirmed for normies
Weebs were the normies all along.
>>336314480
In the UK, they run TV ads for a car insurance company with Harvey Keitel mimicking the Winston Wolf segment from Pulp Fiction.
I feel just as mad about these Ford ads as I do those ones. It's not a clever reference, it's taking familiar characters who represented something and using them as a mouthpiece to get us to buy unrelated shit.
>>336314807
Okay?
>>336312156
>Performance matters
>>336314807
By that logic, anyone alive during the 00's is a millennial.
Millennials are people who spent their childhoods growing up in 00's culture. People born in the 80's would have been teens or almost adults by then.

Proof that Hayter only ever cared about playing Snake because it's the only name recognition he ever really had and only cares about Snake being him.
>>336314789

Don't you have pachinko machines to make?

>/v/ hates it
>>336314807
People born mid to late 80's are 90's kids.
Millennials are those who were born in late 90's or 00's.
>>336315301
/v/ for some reason is triggered by anything Konami does.
>>336315115
Of course the character means a lot to him, it's the only thing that ever got recognition for being David Hayter since nobody gives a shit about his screenwriting.
He genuinely thinks he's Snake. He can't seem to grasp that he was only ever the localization VA and Kojima only ever saw him as such.
JUST
I'M LOVIN IT
>>336315115
I told you this multiple times today, but I'll tell you again.
Kill yourself.
>>336315370
>/v/ for some reason is triggered by anything Konami does.
Maybe because they fired the director of the game, cut funding, and put out a shell of a product. It was Kojima's fault too, but they have a huge hand in it.
>all the ford shills in the comment section
top
>>336315732
Kojima did it on himself. Went over his budget trying to make his shitty game.
>>336315030
x - 1960-1980, y(millenial) - 1980-2000, Z - 2000 - 2020.
Theres a big gap of time, but they consider the 80s the first wave, and the 90s born the second wave. What you're experiencing now are the second wave, the last of who are getting ready to go to college.
>>336315370
Because Konami treats every IP they own with complete irreverence. Castlevania is deader than dead, Silent Hill is a grim parody of a walking corpse at this point, Metal Gear seems to be heading the same way. I don't think there's a single worthwhile Konami property left that people actually gather around.
It's hard to like Konami when they don't provide anything worth liking. But hey, them entitled gamers, right? Why don't they just blindly adore companies?
>>336314835
And? Pulp Fiction talk about fucking McDonalds and Big something burgers
>>336315370
Well gee maybe if they didnt turn every beloved franchise into pachinko machines, fire Kojima, circumcise MGS5, and license out shitty commercials we wouldn't hate them
>>336314480
It's mainly because Konami ' s has abandoned there legacy and way of life as a video game company. Like if they were still making games now people would just giggle and go kek, but Konami for the past few has done nothing but gut out all their pride as a video game company and thus only reminds fans on how far they've sunk
I hate how Konami literally makes the best music games. Why did it have to be them?
>Konami will hold on to the metal gear franchise just to get some easy money targeting nostalgia
>this is the final fate of the metal gear series
>>336315869
Neither of those were advertising, and Big Kahuna Burger doesn't even exist. It's completely different and I think you know it.
>>336312156
is this actually a commercial?
>>336316106
yes
>>336312156
May the konami exec who approved this burn in hell fire for all eternity. RIP konami's owned IPs. We can only hope konami's death will come quickly to prevent the further rape of beloved series.
I don't get this. I don't give a shit about descrating the game but who thought this would make a good advertisement for a car?
>>336316065
>Neither of those were advertising
Yeah, product placement isnt advertising either right? fucking retard
>>336316428
>people talking about something conversationally is advertising
I bet you're the kind of faggot who thinks someone expressing positive opinions on /v/ are shills without exception too, you enormous cockslurping cakeboy.
>>336316602
Anon in a movie nothing is done by accident, it was product placement just like how apple has a lot of movies have apple products in them. Please just stop
>>336315936
Kojimadrones didn't know that Konami were always kind of shitty until they did something that affected Kojima. Now everyone acts like they abandoned video games or whatever, nevermind the fact that they just released a new DDR like a month ago
Konami news triggers /v/ because the MGSV wounds are still fresh

Just like it was okay when MGS3 had Calorie Mate.
Just like it was okay when MGS4 had energy drink commercials and an in-game ipod.
Just like it was okay when Peace Walker had Mountain Dew and doritos.
I've seen this video posted a few times and i noticed something.
It seems like /v/'s opinion will lean towards the OP's opinion.
>>336316759
>nothing is done by accident
No fucking kidding. Mentioning McDonald's in a sentence isn't the same as a character eating a fucking big mac and creaming themselves over how much they love it. By your reckoning, you just made yourself an Apple marketer.
>>336316906
>no one says anything
Were you asleep or something?
>>336317265
The difference is I wasnt handed a script that had a sentence in it that apple payed to put there.

It's fucking happening.
>>336317265
Are you fucking retarded? You can't use any trademarked property freely. They were in the movie because McDonald give them permission to use the name. You know why? because give them publicity AKA advertising to peoples that watch the movie. If a brand name product appear on TV or games, they were advert. Holy shit you are fucking stupid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPnTa1UJPEI
What did they mean by this?
>>336316920
Okay but this was so fucking hilarious in the show because they kept upping the ante until Subway finally fucking bought the store they worked at.
>>336317412
Fun fact; you don't actually have to pay or be paid by anyone to mention brand names in the context they were used in Pulp Fiction. The only exception is when the company could perceive the reference as a slight against their image.
>>336317886
Same goes for you, faggot

Reminds me of Community, actually. Where would that fall? The Subway advertising was off the charts, but they were always portrayed as being soulless imperialists.
>>336318342

>>336318998
It's cold.
>>336318796
No, anon. To mention a trademarked brand in that context, you don't need any permissions at all. The only time any kind of approval is required is, as I say, if there's a chance that it could be construed as harmful to their image. Look into it, because it's clear you haven't.
Imagine them making a commercial around the Boss' death scene.

>>336321217

what the fuck i was joking
>>336321040
Yes. They don't celebrate traditional Western Christmas like that, with trees and presents and shit. It's more of a romantic date night or a family night to eat good food together.
>>336312156
At the very least it could have been a good brand, holy fucking shit.
>>336321478
I'm surprised they don't give each other gifts on it. I mean, with as much influence America had in rebuilding Japan, you'd think they'd introduce that when they introduced capitalism.

this is awesome, fuck you guys
who did the voices here?
wow the voices on the second overdubs video was spot on. How is it that hayter changed his voice in the later games to that of a chain smoker if he had the option of using the younger snake voice?
>>336322074
Yeah, me too.
>>336323360
Originals. they do a lot of dub work for fun.
I am every day more and more convinced that japan need a dozen or so more nukes
For a culture that claim they are all for "muh honor and muh values", ALL i see is jewry and lack of respect to anyone and anything but money.
That is why they work thenselves to death, not respect or seriousnes, but greed, and only greed
>>336323490
How is a metal gear solid homage jewery? Nobody paid for it.
You feeling okay there buddy?
>>336312156
mcdonalds ad when?
>>336323394
The sound director told him to sound old as fuck because, you know, he was old as fuck in MGS4.
But then he told him to sound like it again on Peace Walker for no reason whatsoever.
>>336323394
Because they told him to play snake as if he was a dying old chronic smoker.
>>336323394
No one exactly knows Why he did It, either by his own bullshit or ordered by kojima. He could have voiced young bb in pw like a normal young person. 4 made some sense cause snake was dying, but even then there were voice changing bullshit everywhere in the game
>>336323631
>>336323565
A homage is done out of respect for the source material. This is banking on the name of one of their only well known IPs for the sake of moving a product. Fuck you.
>>336312156
Still a better story than MGSV.
>>336314525
MGSV is like dressing your daughter like a slut, so I guess he kind of expects her to be raped.
>>336323816
You know this is a Ford thing right?
They did other videos like this with other cartoons and shows.
holy shit thats pathetic by Konami
are they that desperate to bring a commercial to the consumer
I don't get it
Why are they pandering to video game players
Most video game players who can buy cars today probably never played MGS
>>336324412
MGS released in 1998, and it was the go to game along with FFVII and RE if you owned a Playstation.
Assuming several people played MGS when they were 12, then they'd be 30 years old now. And that makes them the perfect group to be pandered to.
>>336324412
Bullshit, anyone old enough to own a car would've probably played MGS on its time.
>>336312156
>>336312156
you can clearly see how the comments were pretty chill prior to the video being linked here
It's just a fucking le nerd culture commercial to appeal to manchildren
>>336324680
>>336324684
But this was before gaming was trendy
>>336323890
Terrible analogy desu
>being this offended
MGSV was shit, at least this dumb crap is sort of funny. Kojima sold out this franchise out years ago, it's no surprise Konami is continuing the trend. At least they're getting the old actors back rather than replacing them with big names for the sake of it.
The only real loss from Konami is Castlevania, Metal Gear should have stopped at MGS3.
>>336327026
THANK YOU.
Finally someone who makes sense
>>336318407
There's a second commercial with a codec coversation between Cambell and Solid Snake, Hayter reprises the role as did Paul.
>>336327026
>The only real loss from Konami is Castlevania
TAIYOH
>>336314265
This is the most autistic post I've seen this night
>>336323394
Because the voice actor doesn't actually have control over how they deliver a line, that's the voice director's job.
Basically, blame Kris Zimmerman. Even if she didn't personally tell Hayter to do the Old Snake voice, it's still her job to ensure that the voice acting is of acceptable quality.
>>336313848
You were an MGS fan
I want that car now
>>336324818
>>336312156
Why would you even care?
Keep blatant advertising out of unrelated video games, put video games in blatant advertising all you want. I won't see it anyway.
>>336312156
Did he hurt anybody yet?
>>336312156
While we're on the subject, what about other washed up game series that sell products?It would certainly help Capcom get a little money after losing so much.
i like the idea
>>336320989
>tfw armstrong is literally /fit/ trump
lol and Kojima has only been gone for 5 months.
>>336333020
what the fuck do you think he would have done? he was an employee
This can't be real
>acting like Kojima wasn't a sell out too
When is /v/ going to stop sucking his dick already?
Why are you aspies getting mad at this?
It's sad to see the characters of a cult classic milked up this way since Konami abandoned this industry in order to make pachinko machines. If they were still working on their games, this would be acceptable. Not that they don't have the rights to sell out their IP as they like, but it's a very disappointing end. Reminds me a bit of Crash Bandicoot, what a shame the Naughty Dog (or Sony) sold their IP.
>>336318105
I don't know if that's true, since I remember a trivia about The Road, a great movie.There is this scene where the boy gets to drink a can of coca cola, and since Viggo has a friend in the company, he called them if they could do the shot.
It doesn't matter if Tarantino got any sheckel from that casual talk about le big mac or royal with cheese, he probably had to ask for permission. He achieved authenticity in the dialogue while the mcshit has a reminder of their products in a cult classic. It is a product placement, doesn't matter how you look at it.

Hates it? I thought it was a great ad. Caught me off guard on youtube and I didn't skip it.
>>336333650
Is that really Hayter?
>>336333831
yes
>>336333672
That's true. I remember when Square used FF9 to promote Coca-Cola
Also the Mario Kart x Mercedes-Benz commercials
>>336333919
Why
>>336334130
Probably because he really wanted to voice Snake again.
>>336334174
>>336314265
It's the sellout factor you twat, not some normie complaint.
>>336314141
There's one, with Krillin.
Man, it's good to hear that Hayter can still do the Solid Snake voice perfectly after all this time.
>>336312156
I admit that was fucking funny and clever.
Still not giving Jewnami any cent though.
Remember when Konami was a video game company?

My sides.
