ChickenExotic Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Somebody at Sony probably called somebody at Insomniac before making that jpeg and said something like "We wanna use that font for our next promotion. We cool?" Just to be on the safe side. Insomniac released the font for free, they even tweeted about it, so anyone can use it including other companies, I.E. Sony, hell even Nintendo can use it if they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welmosca Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 When I read the title of this post I really thought Sony had announced a new game a-la sunset overdrive....was about to get sad at Sony but for real if insomniac is serious about this...all that fuss because of a font,oh damn...they're really going down.

ZeroXOF Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) I'm a big fan of Insomniac as well but honestly I'm not really interested in Sunset Overdrive. All the gameplay videos and trailers I've seen make it look like a stylistic but generic third person shooter and I have other things I'd rather play. When it hits the bargain bin it may find its way to my Xbone. Parker Parker, I advise you to wait or get a chance to play it first. I do admit it looks generic but I thought that about Blloodborne but I'm when I get to play it, I probably think it's the best thing ever. when they realize its not selling as well as they thought it was going to on the Xone, 2 will be on PS4, since Insomniac has full control of the IP, just like Titanfall. Too bad that is game has got gold pre-order status (I think 100,000 to 1,000,000 pre orders I think), anyway I don't think Insomniac going back to one based console games. I do hope that the IP thing is not real because if it is then Sony won't be getting future insomniac games.

I've got a buddy that buys just about every game that releases for consoles (that rich, lucky bastard) and he has already pre-ordered Sunset Overdrive.

kidhero99 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 From what I understand it is Sony's fault for Insomniac taking the game over to Microsoft. Apparently, Insomniac pitched the IP to Sony and Sony liked it but they wanted rights to the IP. Insomniac said they wanted the rights, Sony said no so Insomniac went to Microsoft who allowed them to keep the rights. Whether that is 100% true or not, I suppose we'll never really know. Parker After the Crash Bandicoot fiasco It's hard not to understand why they would want to own an IP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Gaming community when we refer to a game that has "gone gold" means that the coding of the game has been shipped for processing to slap onto a disc. thats all. it doesnt mean 1,000,000 have been reached, you are probably confusing it with music, not games.

Yeah, I knew I mixed it up somewhere, thanks. Anyway there is still the issue of that Sony trying to own the ip thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x9zachattack5x Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if the person who put that font on the "Sale of the dead" gets fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDRAG-K Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Microsoft steals Tomb Raider from Sony, Sony steals Sunset Overdrive font from Microsoft lol. But, in all seriousness, it's just weird. The font doesn't even fit the theme of the sale, so I'm confused as to why they used it. Unless it's just a friendly jab (which is likely is).

DaivRules Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 And both Sony's Sale and Insomniac get tons free advertising that they would normally have paid big bucks for! Let the fans spread the awareness as much as possible, just like is happening right here. Everybody wins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SONY fanboys flame Sunset Overdrive and people pay attention to the game. It's genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
