If you owned the rights to Twisted Metal and God of War, you would have most certainly lost them by now through your sheer incompetence in understanding trademarks and copyrights.

He was going to, but they stole the name he was going to use and now he's got to spend time coming up with a new one.LiK said:

More cringe-worthy opinions from Jaffe.

Sega sued FOX over Simpsons Road Rage game since it was identical to Crazy Taxi and that went no where fast.
As is usually the case, Jaffe overreacts a bit or reaches too far, and then everyone else here on GAF takes it to a whole new level.
In terms of the Scrap Metal game, I think he has a point.
I haven't seen the War of the Gods movie, don't have a clue if he's alluding to anything other than the title and subject matter. If that's it, then yeah...quite a leap, indeed.

I like David and his "speak whatever is on my mind" attitude but this sort of stuff is seriously dumb.
Can't use the word metal in a car combat game?
War of the Gods seems like a stretch too seeing as the meaning is totally different and the whole "War of ____" thing has been done many times before.

BTW, did anyone tell David that Scrap Metal is a racing game in the style of Rock & Roll Racing, which came out like 100 years before Twisted Metal?

Oh, I agree with you. I'm sure they won't.
At the same time, one of the conditions of maintaining your IP is defending your property from those who would present it as their own. My take from his brief post was "Sony: defend your IP rights."
Not sure I see the harm in that, at least as far as the Scrap Metal game is concerned.

His post is fucking idiotic. Sure, he's made some good games from a while back but the only reason he's getting attention lately is because of his "outlandish" remarks the gaming media and community love to eat up.

Jaffe shake dat laffy taffy on diz GAFé.
"War of the Gods" was Tarsem's next movie (following up on the unfortgettable "The Fall"). I think they've changed the name to "Dawn of War", which doesn't help.
Although inevitably there'll be some overlap, it'll have no direct relation to the game. He's one of those auteur director types who won't stop filming until it's it matches his vision, as good or bad as that may be.

Folks can spin all they want, but I played the shit out of all of the Twisted Metal games. I don't see how you can watch the videos for that game and not see them cribbing from Twisted Metal, right down to the nasty, back-of-the-Trapper-Keeper art aesthetic. It looks like a top-down Twisted Metal game, fer crissakes!
I'm not condemning it. Again, merely pointing out that the dude has a point (as he often does).

Did you guys step in the sar-chasm again?
Guys, give him a break. After the sh*t he's been through with being sued over IP issues, I'm not surprised he's a little touchy on the subject.
He's talking about name's of titles as well as the concepts within them. As someone who works in IP, he has got good points and raises issues that every companies IP lawyers go into a lather over.
As usual Gaf gets in a blinding rage and misses the point. Fuck em Dave, JaffeGaf got ya back

I wonder if there's a trademark for "God of Metal"...
