Same font, same profile, same lighting.

Maybe it is the same graphic designer?

Wonder if the movie is any good :)

So we can expect spectacular action scenes, but no story at all?

Martin Campbell, the director, also worked on Casino Royale and Golden Eye. :) .. But then again he was also responsible for Vertical Limit (which I loved despite people hating on it) and Green Lantern :/ ... So maybe?

The question is, would Liam Neeson make a good Snake? It wouldn’t even have crossed my mind before now, but stick a beard and pony tail on him and….

font is the same, profile is overdone and quite frankly everyone could come up with a better cover for a movie called memory!

Also metal gear cover is referencing movies posters! So yeah nobody wins! Not creative at all! It’s almost like we gamers or movie watchers will not be interesting in something that doesn’t have a famous face on it!!!

It's one generic dude on cover doing nothing versus another to some degree less generic dude because he's got an eye patch doing nothing on cover.

Both covers suck, by the way, and aren't unique so I'm not sure here if one can be a rip-off of another.

The font and lighting make it pretty obvious that the designer for this was outright looking at the MGS art and deliberately copying it. No idea why people are acting like they can't see that.
