you guys
it's just a joke
on both sides
c'mon
The hell does Insomniac get off being snide at Sony like this. So it's cool to just bite the hand that fed you for so many gaming generations. Christ.
you really butchered my old name there jason
As I said in the other thread, sheer desperation from Sony to try and associate their brand with wht will be the biggest game of this year.
I don't blame them, they have precious little else to market the rest of the year.

You can't stop this train, it's too late. Kotaku headlines incoming in 3...2...
I understood that reference.I have degrees in Fontology and Marketing along with a Minor in Color Psychology. I'm quite familiar with fonts, how to create them and how to interpret them. It is always interesting and revealing to see first hand how effective this tactic is with the average layperson however.
More or less than you butchered common sense?
I appeal to the gaming community. Please stop using the term "shots fired" when describing one organization criticizing another. In a society and culture littered with actual shootings (*ahem* America) when I read the title, I thought we were talking about some crazed disgruntled employee shooting up the Insomniac offices. That is not an image I want in my head so please let's come with a better phrase to use in these circumstances.
Biggest game of the year? In what way?
Cuz Destiny's got the marketing and sales covered.
Idk how you guys can just play it off so easily. Sony just blatantly STOLE Insomniac's font. The font they built from ground up. All that hardwork and dedication into making that font. Sony thinks they can just come around and take whatever they want? If Insomniac doesn't sue, I'll have lost faith in this world.

This is a good thread. It gets the LonelyGreyWolf seal of miyamoto.
Yeah well, you're only helping in extending the amount of posts though.

So they're not thieves, they're just cheap?

Yeah, that's not really how this stuff works. Some dude ripping the font from sunset overdrive and putting it on a free font download site, telling people to use it does not suddenly make it OK to use. Its not within that authors right to share that font.
So unless that font is the original font, and it would be free then yeah sure, go ahead. But from what I gather this is not the case.
That's because Insomniac didn't use a "font", their logo is drawn. Someone then created a font in that style (with Insomniac's blessing apparently) so obviously each letter will be identical.

The font file online was made by a fan based on our ORIGINAL logo for Sunset Overdrive w/ our blessing.
The font is even named "Overdrive Sunset font."
So yeah, it's all based on our creation and part of our universe, even if we allowed it to be used openly so fans have access to it.
He got burned.
That dev got blasted.
Oooh, destroyed.
Sony/MS going for the kill/jugular
Etc
Do you take those seriously too or just shots fired, out of curiosity?
Man, what's up with Sony? They were on fire for almost a year, then--suddenly--I'm becoming more and more disappointed with what they are doing. It feels like Nintendo is the only one of the three to be doing things right. Never thought I'd say that in 2014.
2015 better bring some improvements mannnnn
this is weird
"shots fired" is a known term related to shootings in America.
So when I hear the term "Shots fired at [noun]" I immediately think shooting. We definitely could come with a better, less loaded term.pun intended
