Shakugan posted:Is this legal? Will Netflix/other people who created House of Cards get royalties or payments not to sue? Because this is so clearly Call Of Duty: Frank Underwood. The Call of Duty franchise is worth so much, I can't imagine that the House Of Cards showrunners wouldn't want a slice of the pie (that they undoubtedly deserve; it really does seem like his character from HoC has been imported with little changes). Yeah, just like the Tolkien estate gets royalties from every fantasy setting with elves.

Shakugan posted:I really don't think it's quite so simple. They are clearly using "Frank Underwood" to attract gamers, not just Kevin Spacey. A more reasonable question would be to ask if someone made a game with Ian McKellen as a wise wizard, Orlando Bloom as an elf with a bow etc, would the Tolkien estate get royalties. My bet is that yes, they would. An actor being typecast is not a new thing. After Richard Harris (the original Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies) died, McKellen was floated as a potential replacement based off his portrayal of Gandalf. Nobody shouted about this being a clear infringement of LotR's intellectual property because the same guy might play a wizard in two different movies. Alternatively, see Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, or literally any other actor who is frequently cast as a very similar type of character. Yeah, Spacey was clearly told to channel Underwood, but he's not playing Underwood. He's playing a dude in charge of a super-PMC that's out to conquer the world or whatever. The scenario is entirely different and the background details of the character are likely going to be so different that Netflix wouldn't have any kind of copyright case.

I would be completely okay with Infinity Ward becoming the little bitch boy of the CoD studios.

Justin Godscock posted:Mark my words: we will see lasers, forcefields and robots in a Call of Duty game before 2020. Near-future warfare has come and replaced the now stagnant modern warfare FPS genre and it's only going to get more and more absurd and over-the-top as the years go by much like how modern warfare got more dumb. I hear people say Blops2 isn't the best CoD and I just don't understand, man. In what other game do you have slow-mo dubstep gunfights in a night club on Libertopia? No other game, man, no other.

Mill Village posted:TF on Xbone doesn't drop into single-digit framerates. Weird how the only posts I can find about it dropping into single-digits are from the XB1 version. Mister Macys posted:They took the (Portal 2) Source engine and broke it. I bought the original F.E.A.R. in the Summer Sale and have been playing through it recently. Weirdly, despite have PC hardware that was only hypothetical at the time the game was made, I was experiencing severe framerate drops at something as simple as the menu screen. Some light Googling showed that it was a known problem. The solution? Unplugging and then plugging back in my Logitech mouse. Its almost like the interaction between hardware and software is more complicated than raw horsepower.

Fatty_McLumpkin posted:Soooooo... quote:"Black Ops II" came under scrutiny when it was released because it also includes a character resembling former U.S. Gen. David Petraeus, who had just left his role as CIA director after revelations of his extramarital affair. Still my second favorite part of the hilarious insanity that is Blops2's campaign.

Mister Macys posted:As someone who never made it past the first two stages of MW3/BLOPS 1, is out really any good? You fight Soviet tanks on horseback. One of the levels has you play as a rage-crazy axe murderer. There is a slow-mo dubstep gunfight in a nightclub on Libertopia They got Oliver North to shill for a game where the principle villain is a Nicaraguan who's family was killed by the Contras. If you prefer the more serious and sober campaign style of Modern Warfare 1, you won't like Blops 2 but if you want to see what its like when a developer straight-up stops taking their game seriously, play Black Ops 2.

Evil Canadian posted:Man I haven't played cod since BO1, I look at this game and it actually looks pretty cool for the first time in a long time... All of the CoDs have looked cool in the trailers. They are games made for trailers. Except for Ghosts. Ghosts just looked like poo poo from back to front.

I have bought CoD games at full price and then pretty much only played the single-player. Its me, I'm the saddest person in this thread.
