And I'm saying in the actual reveal footage she didn't actually look the same as the artwork, which is why I posted that image.
Besides, even the artwork still has some pretty big differences form Ellen Page.
Different nose, different chin, different lips, different eyes, different brow, different cheek bones, different hair line.
The Ellen Page resemblance was accidental
you are referring to images AFTER changes were made to her character.. fact is she did resemble ellen page much more during initial reveal even though I personally didnt think it was by that much or that it even mattered at all.
the nadine thing looks coincidental.. someone will always resemble someone else, thats par for the course when creating human looking characters. The art stuff might just have been an honest mistake or placeholder that they forgot to update, either way it will 100% be completely different in the release now that everyone has pointed it out.
Is this a serious post? Maybe they should've just used somebody else's music too. They like it so much and more people will hear it.

I said it in the other thread, I'll say it here as well.
Ellen Page and artwork are a problem.
But the BSG actress similarities are straight up BS. Yea she's black, wow!

That comparison uses Ellie's new face...
Oops, beaten twice. Fast GAF is fast. The Battlestar Galactica actress one is a huge stretch though. There's a very different facial structure.
Yeah, this is most likely what happened. Someone put temp art into the game and everyone forgot it was temp.
No it's based on a real location

you missed my post.
Your thoughts represent everything that's wrong with modern capitalism; everything deserves to be paid for unless it's in the art field. In that case, you should be lucky to be paid nothing for your work to be taken and used without your permission.

Thea artwork and level don't look that similar. They can patch out that art and be done with it.

Because it was an image of Ellen Page in that pose, scroll up to look at the old one and compare yourself.
Yeah, this is the craziest part to me, it looks like they actually used that stolen concept art to create the level.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
Let's not forget the Nadine Ross / Kandyse McClure uncanny resemblance either.
WTF is going on? Fool me once...
This shit is starting to stink.
Goes way beyond "inspiration"
are you serious or just trolling?

Naughty Dog just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about developing concept art (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like being a game director, where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw over a fellow concept artist, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the gaming public that plays Ubisoft games, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Uncharted 4, nor will they purchase any of Sony's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Naughty Dog has alienated an entire market with this move.
Naughty Dog, publicly apologize and cancel Uncharted 4 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Probably the latter. I had a friend whose song was used without permission (for like 20 seconds) by a major entertainment company and they just removed it and sent him a check for a decent sum, no real hassle for either party.

Even if they did that, it would be no problem. Its just a pciture of a cliff with a hole in it. I'm sure they get inspiration from other things and places as well. The issue is using the exact artwork.

Real artists are above petty considerations like paying rent or buying food. As long as someone sees their uncredited work, the exposure is good enough.
Its like photosynthesis.
LOL anything to tear Naughty Dog a new one, eh?
This won't stop Uncharted 4 from winning 2016 GOTY and racking up that critical acclaim on Metacrtiic
Your fanboyism is showing.
And I'm saying in the actual reveal footage she didn't actually look the same as the artwork, which is why I posted that image.

That's the amended design, LMAO.

Lol
Here is something you might not realize: music/ sound effects/ concept art from other projects/ companies are used internally all the time as placeholders or reference material until they get enough of their own stuff going. As the reference material changes hands sometimes the context is lost and mistakes like this can happen.
The trick is to not let it out.
You should see some of the internal matte paintings. Sometimes its egregious.
We have a saying: Artists die of exposure.

Wait, is this beach the same as the AC art one ?
If so, Naughty Dog is in deep shit.

I am pretty sure Ubisoft didnt invent the concept of washing up on a beach after a shipwreck.
Tom Hanks did.

lol different everything and yet ellen page herself saw it and saw the resemblance. so did EVERYONE who watched the trailer. go read the reveal thread. people thought she was in the game.And I'm saying in the actual reveal footage she didn't actually look the same as the artwork, which is why I posted that image.

Hey, compare that image of Ellen Page to the old artwork, all the things I listed are different.
There is a resemblance, but considering how nearly every part of her face is different it's clearly more coincidence than a stolen likeness.
I'm glad Naughty Dog ripped off Ubisoft's concept art just so this GIF could be posted.Welp-I'm out.
Thank you.
Welp-I'm out.
LMFAO I'm dying

Because people don't like to work for free. It's not theirs to take without permission.
Probably just someone being lazy with making the asset, but on a large project like this, that shouldn't happen. They'll switch it out or get the OK from Ubisoft.
You really cant be serious.
Let's not forget the Nadine Ross / Kandyse McClure uncanny resemblance either.

That one didn't get much traction for obvious reasons. I mean, there's a slight resemblance in there, somewhere, but nothing to call for stolen image.
Didn't you see where it's actually based on a real location?
The artwork being in the game is a messed up thing and needs to be taken out and shouldn't have been in the game or trailer to begin with but the level is nothing related to that artwork.
