I can't believe Sony stole from Sony Pictures Entertainment

 

[JC Lately]

Also (as said I asked before):

Fonts are unique to IP's now?

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

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Playstation isn't that stupid to rip off that font, are they?

Didn't stop them from using the Spider-Man font.

EDIT: Beaten

We needed a thread to contain all trolls after the Pachter thread died down.

 

[Xando]

I think the real news here is that Sony uses free fonts in their promotional material.

Gotta save money.

I mean, there are certain IPs that are recognizable (and thus associated with) from their fonts. Sunset Overdrive's is one of those.

 

[coldcrush]

its kind of ironic considering insomniac ripped the font style off from a designer called hydro 74
This is not the exact font I am referring to, (I couldn't find it quickly while at work) but all his fonts look like this, its almost a direct rip off of one of his others...

This is officially the most popular Sunset Overdrive thread isn't it?

Genius marketing.

Biggest Xbox One thread in weeks.

 

[SlowRevolution]

jack tretton knew that this would happen. this is why he left.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

Why would they do that? Sony this is too obvious to not be on purpose. Someone's hurting

 

[ak1276]

This one never gets old.

 

[Pathos]

There it is folks. How do you guys think Sony made money off the ps3? they definitely licensed the font to the people who own the rights to the spiderman movies

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

this is all kinds of manipulation to the masses now people will get a PS4 because of SSO, this next NPD will be interesting

[BasilZero]

Someone just messed up big time at the PSN offices.

For a game that isn't even out yet and whose long term viability has yet to be proven.

Ok.

 

[John Bender]

Well, they did use a screenshot of Project Gotham 3 on their website once.

And MS did use a screenshot of Killzone.
This happens every year, as it seems

Hurting for what? I don't even, I'm really confused how a font has become PS4 is on some mythical downward spiral now. I'm so confused ;_;

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Kotaku's top story is about graphical glitches in The Last Of Us when you delete certain files.

Just waiting for FontGate to slot in at the top of the page.

 

[Jazzkokehead]

I fully expect all the advertisements for the next God of War to use Times New Roman.

 

[DwightSchruting]

Doubt Insomniac cares, just free promotion for SO, Sony messed up only because they just helped MS push more units.

 

[TK Turk]

Yeah, that looks identical (if you see with your foot).

[Dranakin]

I've read through too many posts to not find the answer: was the font readily available before Sunset Overdrive used it, or was it made free by the developers after it had been created/used [by them]?

 

[JoJo UK]

I guess some people will take whatever anti-PS4 news they can get.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Its not even a scary font.

 

[Dragonborn]

Some of the hyperbole in this thread, too good. I'm sure people are just kidding though...

Ok.

Quality has nothing to do with recognizability.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Sony will get sued over this I'm sure

What?
You are joking right?
Goddamn, people here are just trolling at this point.

 

[perorist]

There it is folks. How do you guys think Sony made money off the ps3? they definitely licensed the font to the people who own the rights to the spiderman movies

Sony owns the rights to the Spiderman movies

 

[Dragonborn]

Sony owns the rights to the Spiderman movies

Sony obviously stole from themselves. They should really sue themselves for that

 

[Eggbok]

Hey, let's have some fun!

lol.

 

[BriGuy]

At least it's not comic sans.

What a weird choice of font for a zombie sale though. You think they would go with something spooky or bloody, not something off a Hot Topic t-shirt.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Insomniac should copy how to make good games.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Ratchet Redux's logo just leaked!

 

[Amentallica]

Regardless of legal implications, isn't it a bit telling that we're complaining about fonts here?

 

[backflip10019]

lol.

This really messed with my brain.
