Planetside could get sued!!

[Antres Midel]

I don't know if any of you noticed but on the inside cover of the PS box they used ATTs as the base turrets. There are three alltogether. One on top of the blue half sphere on the right hand side of the base, it is facing to the right. One in the middle of the courtyard facing toward you. And one in the left hand side of the courtyard facing to the left. If you don't know what ATTs are. They're the tan hover-tanks from Starwars Episode 1.
I don't know if SOE got permission to use them but if they didn't then they could get sued. Couldn't they?

huh what do you mean im looking at the box and i only see ONE

[dscytherulez]

I see 2...i dont see the one in the middle you're talking about

[ZionsFire]

this thread is funny

I doubt SOE would make such a blunder. I bet they were just modeled AFTER those whatever-ya-call-its.

[Hamma]

Not even lucasarts can do that kind of shit.. claim an "idea" as their own.. unless they name it the same thing and make it look EXACTLY the same

[Vis Armata]

I doubt that it's a copyright violation; Lucasarts would, I think, prove "substantial similarity", and I don't think that the ATT pic on the box cuts it. I doubt that SOE has not a single intellectual property attorney that missed that.

[Hamma]

Plus, it would be pretty stupid for them to sue the company that created the SWG cash cow for them.

[Eliaas_Demens]

That's pretty damn amusing. There's definately a striking similarity. But yeah, LucasArts wouldn't bother fucking with Sony right now. SWG is too important.

[Katanaboy]

Hey, while we're at it, the reaver looks like the cyborg planes from Terminator...

[Eliaas_Demens]

and Hamma's face looks like my ass.

Why are looking at the box and not playing the game?

[ccarlin8]

Hey, guess what, nobody gives a shit.

They're not gonna spend a shitload of money to sue someone over something on a box that you can barely see.

Oh, and while we're at it, one of the face models has the same hair color as me. LAWSUIT...

Christ.

Damn, no need to flame. Chill.
