It's also fairly obvious that I Am Legend was a huge inspiration for Night Of The Living Dead. @imright: actually Romero himself has even stated that he got his ideas from I am Legend, so how does that make me retarded?

Doesn't that clear Capcom from any litigation? lol It does say on the cover that the game had nothing to do with the creators or owners of the film.

George Romero stole a majority of his ideas from I Am Legend. Romero certainly helped revolutionize the "zombie horror genre" but he really can't take credit for the individual ideas. Most of his movies were pieced together with ideas from many other stories that had appeared long before he was on the scene. For the Romero camp to claim infringement is retarded.
