Forums - Sony - Jaffe thinks Sony should sue Microsoft over Scrap Metal!

@ Chuchy

Seriously ?

You dont see a problem with a vehicular combat game called scrap metal? Its not about the words its about the name as a whole and the gameplay mechanics at play here.

 

Steel Cog Rigid - Well thought out spy action!

holy fuck! just why not just sue everyone already!!!



lol kinda reminds me of one of the first threads I made called Little Big Question


Little Big Planet vs. Little Big Adventure

they are not related, except for both of them being games.
perhaps someone could've made some lawsuit buck out of that too

 

perhaps I should make a game called Cod of War about a pissed off fish...or Metal Bowl Solid about a hungry dog. brb.

 

or even Metal Bowel Solid about a constipated robot.

The oppertunities are endless!

I think Jaffe was either drunk or smoking crack when he said this.

Jaffe is an awesome guy, lol, like wtf O_o.



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

Naming 2 things completely different the same name (like the comic someone showed) is different than naming something very comparable the same name. Someone knows the story of war of the gods? It maybe why he said they should sue, I mean if its the same story than god of war. For Scrap Metal tho, its pretty obvious what the developer are trying to do here, if it would be my trademark I would certainly sue them. Not for money but to force them changing the name. Imagine if 3D dot game heroes would get call, Dezla a link to the ancient time.

Naming it twisted metal would make it the same name. Sharing one word out of two is perfectly fine.

Essentially what Sony would have to do is prove the durr test. Essentially they bring you up in court and then they show you the picture of the name Scrap Metal and then ask you about what you think you're seeing. Can you honestly imagine anyone failing the durr tes here?

 



Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?
