Rainbow Six Siege
Grab a soda from this vending machine, escape the hospital nursery, and proceed to the helipad in Rainbow Six Siege. Thanks for helping me track this one down, Hakunamarups! [Source]
This next soda machine appeared during Siege’s Outbreak event earlier this year. I wasn’t able to find a screenshot that showcased the entire machine, but I did find these helpful instructions… [Source]
In case you can’t make it out, here’s a transcription:
Insert Coin Here
If you are fixin to pour some fizzy water in your pie hole follow instructions that follow mo-fo. Insert your damn coin in the damn slot. Make your selection. Take product and drinky drinky.
Jeez, that seems a little aggressive. Finally, here’s a fun glitch where a Siege player spawns inside a soda machine. [Source]
I haven’t seen someone meld with a soda machine like this since Geist on the GameCube.
Alien Trilogy
I blasted my way through a mess hall full of facehuggers to snap a screenshot of these vending machines from Alien Trilogy, a 1996 DOS shooter. Curiously, they closely resemble the soda machines from 2013’s Aliens: Colonial Marines. Is there a vending machine somewhere in the Alien films they’re both referencing?
Yakuza Kiwami 2
Yakuza Kiwami 2 slaps a fresh coat of paint on the PS2 original, including these scintillating soda machines. Thanks for the screenshots, Gus!
Forestry 2017: The Simulation
I appreciate Forestry 2017’s conceit that “use chainsaw” is an unvarying prospect in the mind of the lumberjack — even when interacting with a soda machine. Thanks for the screenshot, Chris!
Viewtiful Joe
Captain Blue discovers a soda machine 2,000,000 leagues under the sea in Viewtiful Joe for the GameCube. Thanks for the tip, Officer_Dan!
Homefront: The Revolution
These nondescript vending machines from Homefront: The Revolution aren’t nearly as exciting as the Full Throttle and NOS energy drink machines that appeared in the original Homefront. I guess the occupying forces really cracked down on product placement. Thanks for the screenshot, Chris!
Firefighters: The Simulation
The drink machine on the right is a stock asset that has appeared previously in other games, but as far as I can tell, Aqua Refreshin’ is a Firefighters: The Simulation original. Thanks for the screenshot, Chris!
