Watched Die Hard 4 yesterday and saw:
Helgan Icons used on the hacker computer screens
ISA logo, the circle within a circle, It's in the gas refineary, on one of the vans.
When McLane meets Matt Farrel (the Hacker) his neighbour opens the door and asks for a copy of Killzone 9
There's probably more product placement, but I was'nt paying much attention tbh.

all this aside from the obvious Dell, Apple, Alienware, redbull, blah blah blah.

I dont mind product placement, it adds realism to movies/games/music.

I dont like it when the focus is in somebody holding a soft drinks can, who holds it for the camera to view.
Thats just fucking lame - or when the big drinks cabinet in the background is taking up the scenery.


You should get a still of the logo Daz!! I couldn't find a pic online anywhere but other people have noticed it also, you could clam maxis kudos if you get it up there first.
(although you'll always be my number one anyway!)

The hole in the logo is on the wrong side, should be on the left, I don't think it was Sony/Guerrilla initiative, filmmakers could have mirrored it to avoid legal issues.
BEEPLEFIELD 3 - it is all about locks, unlocks and small cocks!

maybe it's subliminal, eitherway it's definately the same image, look at the line through the middle.
It's only on screen for half a second. What if they got it wrong on purpose, to avoid copyright?
I have tried to find the icon, but I can't see them not that I want to grab them.
Also, matt farrell has a picture as his desktop BG, it's a robot, barely visible, but it has Red Eyes that clearly visible.
I think that the graphic designers might just be gamers too? The ones that do the computer graphics?

Well its such a shame the writers havent got any talent - That film was appalling.
Bad acting, bad lines, bad script all round, rushed out over hyped quickly shot waste of space dot com.

my opinion counts for nothing but my opinion.
