Tactical clothing company 5.11 extends product placement with Ubisoft.
Other than SWAT 4 and Homefront, has any video game had guns as product placement?

This product deal apparently extended much farther than just FF15. They're currently selling Dissidia branded cup noodle.

Actual gun licensing is pretty rare in vidya because A.) vidya and real guns have a bad stigma, B.) weapons manufacturers don't really market to the audience that plays vidya C.) it'd probably cost the gamedevs a shitload and D.) there's probably some laws in cali or other libshit states about 'marketing guns to kids'.
And 5.11 makes some good stuff. Own a few pairs of their pants. recommend galls.com if you ever need any of that shit

Cup Noodle has thinner noodles and much more conventional (similar to stock) flavor powder
Maruchan has thicker, usually more rich noodles with their very characteristic flavor powder
Maruchan has better shrimp flavor, and also better beef, but Cup Noodle has the superior chicken and miso flavors
It highly depends on your region, as amerifat and japanese versions taste different (my experiences are with latin and american flavors)
You are going to fare much more better if you make them on your won. Buy separated ramen noodles and beef rib powder flavors, cut some mushrooms, onions and broccoli, place some leftover beef and there you go. Tedious but better, obviously not as good as real nips.

take sauce pan and start boiling your water. While that shit's steaming you take your chicken and cut it into strips, mix that with some diced onion, cabbage, and green onions, but save some of the green onions. Mix that with just a tiny bit of water and take the packet from the noodles and mix that shit up with it. Get a pan with some vegetable oil simmering and put your stir fry in there. Your water should be boiling now, take your egg and crack it in there, that's called poaching but who cares. when your stirfry is looking pretty nice you should take your now poached egg out and this is where you can choose to either slice it up and mix it with the stirfry or just slump it on the finished product. At this point i boil my noodles and stirfry together but you could just cook the noodles then mix it in.
There, a delicious lunch or dinner that costs less than 5 bucks. Make it in bulk and pack some for lunch and make your coworkers jealous. Or just make that godawful sweet sundae ramen, either way you'll probably die before you're 25 you worthless sack of shit.

Is that image supposed to prove it didn't happen, because the game came 3 years earlier? Presidential campaigns last fucking forever, and the billboards in said games were updated via the Internet, and the games' multiplayer modes and in-game ads were maintained for many years. It's entirely possible they put campaign ads in the fucking games.

The trick to cooking instant ramen is to add water, wait 2-3 minutes, stir, then let it sit for another 10-15 minutes. The noodles absorb much of the broth, which totally changes their taste and texture.

I feel the Red Bull ad would work as long as they made a futuristic version of the logo. The giant coca-cola ad is a classic moment in Blade Runner, after all. It works because it's something familiar, yet different.

Yeah, sure, I can agree with that. Problem is it's a bit of a catch-22. The company with the logo you want to use only really gets a benefit from you using their current logo (the one people know).
Not to mention the company that owns the logo could have all sorts of bullshit stipulations for how their logo is used - like 'We don't want any blood splatter ever hitting it' or 'Don't have it in the background and visible when a crime is being committed', etc.
>>14448668

The sheer amount of product placement in Yakuza makes it even less likely to be ported to PC due to the nightmare it would be to replace all the branded assets with unbranded ones or get re-licensed. They had to edit Kiryu's fucking shoes for one of the ports because they couldn't get the license for the brand.

It's possible, but only for highly specialized shit. Either buying one box of some super consistent stuff like Black Hills and including the shipping+tax cost, or using something exotic in the construction like Tungsten (I think 2 bucks is the army's price for each of their new super duper penatrators). Blasting ammo is way less (sub 50 cents now for Maylasian surplus 7.62x51).
