Model Kits Get Along With Video Games
More and more people are playing video games nowadays and whilst I think that part of this is thanks to the recession and people getting more money out of a game than they do on a thing like a night out I will say that a lot of it is to do with the games having a much higher budget as well as being marketed very well indeed. They are also starting to appeal to more than one audience with things such as model kits even coming with some of the most important games.
To use as an example it would be a wise idea to look at Halo Reach. The game itself is not out until September (the Beta is running this month) and already you can pre-order three separate editions of the game itself which is pretty crazy but it works in the same way that Halo 3 did. The first edition will simply consist of the game. The next edition will be known as the limited edition of the game and it comes with an artefact bag, security badge, Spartan II patch and elite in game armour. The last edition of the game and the most expensive is going to be called legendary and it comes with a big model of Noble team and Spartan armour that can be used in game.
It is this model that reaches out to the people that collect these kinds of things. On top of this I have seen things such as Mega Bloks based on video games too which is pretty cool. I have also seen a remote control Warthog (from the halo franchise) so there are already things like RC cars starting to appear on the market.
So the next thing has surely got to be RC helicopter based on things like pelicans from the Halo universe so look out for all kinds of models being released around video games.
