There's the odd ad every now and then where video game publishers will unite with companies to advertise something that never fails to surprise. Among many examples, Konami is no stranger to this with the Metal Gear franchise by promoting Doritos and a Japanese energy drink. Nintendo has even teamed up with Mercedes-Benz by airing commercials and giving away Mario Kart 8 DLC to show off its latest car models. But what if Konami took a stab at promoting vehicles? We thankfully don't have to have an essential life question such as this consume our everyday thoughts, because the controversial entity has apparently cut a deal with Ford.
There are two ads in question that highlight two Ford cars, and the first is the Fusion Titanium. Besides having access to cutting-edge military technology and devices, Solid Snake really has it on his mind according to Psycho Mantis as he lists off all of its features. The second is even more baffling, with David Hayter and Paul Eiding reprising their respective Metal Gear Solid roles in a nostalgic codec conversation that quickly turns into a fawning briefing on the Focus SE. While we think that these commercials are a bit sad considering this might be a good reflection of how Konami plans to exploit Kojima's creation, we can't deny that they put a big, humorous smile on our faces.
What do you make of these videos? Are they as confusing as nanomachines, or did you get a good chuckle out of them? Tune in to our frequency in the comments section below to let us know what you think.

Because if you are driving a Ford Focus you do not want to be seen.
Pretty funny
Kinda the last thing I'd ever expect from Metal Gear. But these are dark times.
@NorthLightSuplx You don't like Focus ST 2 litre? Or the RS? If I won a load of money I would buy a Focus Mountune MR300. Big Boss cars. !
Darkest timeline.
Does that photo of the author actually represent his everyday life clothing etc. or is he cosplaying as the 10th Doctor from Doctor Who? 😂
For an Orwellian-style organisation, they really don't seem that clued up do they?
@themcnoisy
I guess if you planned on being a pizza delivery guy the rest of your life those are cool.
@NorthLightSuplx Haha, round my way pizza delivery guys drive small cars due to the high population and small roads. I actually sell cars for a living and drive a Toyota Yaris to get to work since February (which I'm definitely changing its listed mpg is a lie) and a Mercedes C220 AMG for the family. My Toyota literally needs fuel once a week.
@clvr Well, looks like someone finally pointed it out after two years of writing here! lol You'd be correct. Thinking about changing it at some point in the near future though...
@DrJoeystein I actually think it's cool lol 😄 you know, I don't visit this site as much as NLife (though I almost never post there, either) and I'm used to seeing the same handful of writers when I read reviews or the likes here at PS, so that picture of yours totally stood out and I couldn't help but nice it 😄
More MGS in that ad than the entirety of MGSV: The Phantom Pain
The worse thing about MGSV is Snakes new voice :-/ Brilliant game tho And these Ads are cool. Reminds me of the BEST GAME EVER i.e MGS1 on PS1
