What is it with this cover art. First saw it on the cover to the game The Club
Then on Street Kings
then at JB Hi-fi saw it on the cover for Tuesday
Did at some point a whole bunch of cover art designers decide to get together and be creativley bankrupt?
I wouldn't be suprised if it turned out The Club stole it off someone else either.

PAL version, which I always thought looked more like the Street Kings one.
Saw a big poster on my local Blockbuster last year, thought it was for The Club, then noticed a different title on the art...

That's some nicely spotted plagiarism right there.

Benza, your post about plagiarism is in itself a blatant ripoff of my post, made a near 8 months ago.

Plagiarism
-
vs
(i was debating with myself whether this merited a seperate topic, i'm sure there have been other cases of this happening, game art plagiarism, but this was just the most unashamed i'd seen in awhile.Or is it just me?) |
Oh the irony!

I'm no artist, but is it that original an idea that no one else could have come up with putting an image/characters in a blood splatter?

I think The Shield one is the only one suposed to be blood, the rest of them look more like spray paint.

groan, rise old topic, rise!
Dusting this topic off specially cause i stumbled across this...
That's the header image at this weirdo arabic online flash gaming site, you can click up the top to change the language to english if you visit the link below
Now where have we seen that tank at that angle before???
..
BAM
I thought that was a downright ripper!I scoured that site to see if they actually had a game you could play based upon that header image(something generic like 'tank wars' or some crap) but to no avail.
So yeah, any other examples people have found?

Still not loading. Save the image and re-upload to Photobucket or something, the site it links off does not allow hotlinking as the little no-hotlinking picture comes up. You can probably see it cos it's in your cookies.

It's showing up for you because you've got the picture cached, but all we get is a 'no hotlinking' image. I'm guessing it's an Advance Wars cover? Maybe?
Edit: Fark. I need to actually reply after opening the damned thread, not like 5 years later.

lol, the new image isn't working either. (Edit: damn I take a while to post, three others already onto it.)
But seriously, if one tank is tilted to the side, does that mean that no other logo is allowed with a tank tilted to the side for the rest of time?
Just wait till the new R18+ covers come in, this thread will be fillled with plagiarised photo comparisons to the first R18+ movie under the new law.

Talking about rip offs, there was a game released a few years ago called limbo of the lost, where most of the design was stolen from other games.

I remember reading about that game. Someone outsourced a lot of the content to a Chinese company of some sort. Turns out the outsourced work just got pulled straight from Oblivion and some other games
