Dath is a lawyer turned writer… made no money on his book… Sony wouldn’t buy his screen play… So, the lawyer in him returns… I guess if you don’t get success sue and sue again….

It would seem they have a case…

but really… what game doesn’t have a bottomless chasm with a long, sagging suspension bridge?

It took them 3 years to notice that a series as popular as God of War was similar to something they created? They either live in their mom’s basement, or waited on purpose for God of War to make lots of money so they could claim a stake in it.

Be aware that the article probably only lists the most pertinent arguments, and there is probably a lot of other stuff in there that point to a similarity between the game and the written work. And besides which, it doesn’t have to be an EXACT copy of the written work for this case to be proven…. if the plantiff’s did send in their work as described, all they have to do is prove a similarity between the two works to show Sony may have got the God of War concept from their work. And if so, then Sony will owe them big time….

Norbit, being a comment-log douchebag isn’t any better.

Anyways, going by what this little story has to offer…it looks as if Sony did jack some ideas from those people. Seriously, those are more than just random similarities.

All the people declaring who is right in this case should really get a grip on reality when you know next to nothing about it.

You seriously have no idea how dumb it makes you look saying that

I hope none of you ever sit on a jury because you obviously don’t have a fucking clue about whats right and wrong and the concept of a fair trial

Krator_Killer; There’s a huge difference. Here it’s clear that they stole his ideas.

I hope Sony looses. They got far too much money anyways.

Given Sony’s shady past with copy rights and patents, I’d give the authors the benefit of the doubt.

I hope the plaintiff’s win, there are too many similarities to refute.

“…that glow like light sabers…”

Yes, the plaintiffs are clearly pro-originality.

I guess David Jaffe and Sony should sue Epic Games as well for using the first same three letters as God of War; GoW, Gears of War. Why can’t we all just get along?
