From Polygon: "Capcom games like Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry allegedly used unlicensed copyrighted photos extensively in its games to build out environments, details, and even the Resident Evil 4 logo, according to a new lawsuit filed Friday.
Designer Judy A. Juracek filed her initial complaint in a Connecticut court on Friday. In the lawsuit, she alleged that Capcom used photos from her copyrighted book, Surfaces, in multiple games, including Resident Evil 4, Devil May Cry, and other Capcom games. Surfaces is a collection of 1,200 photographs of textures that Juracek photographed herself; the book is intended to be used for “visual research” for artists, architects, and designers, according to the book’s description. It was originally published in 1996. The collection comes with a CD-ROM of the images — but Juracek said she requires people to license images from her for commercial use by contacting her directly. Juracek said in the lawsuit that Capcom never contacted her for a license."
Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 4 remake sales are now at over 7 million units, Street Fighter 6 is at 3.3 million and more.
If you're looking for 'must have' PSVR 2 games then look no further. These are the 10 titles every PSVR 2 owner should have in their library.
If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.
Speak with your wallet!
I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.
GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.
I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.
I have most of them 😅
Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that the multiplatform title Resident Evil 4 has sold over 7 million units worldwide approximately one year after its release.
Cool.
I don't know what it is with so many Japanese companies but they sure do look lifting shit without permission. lol If it isn't the terminator or robocop appearing in an old JPN version of a Shinobi game its music being lifted from American artists in DBZ Budokai 3. Honesty I wouldn't be shocked if they used Mecha Godzilla in Shinobi 3 without permission. He survived the localization process unlike the latter two. Happened with the first Season of DBZ Kai as well. After a while the music switched back to the original score from the shows first run for the same reason songs in the games were changed. It doesn't bother me its just a funny observation of mine over the years. My favorite is still from F91 Gundam. The Imperial March plays as you watch a mobile suits flying around late in the OVA. I saw that movie many years ago on cartoon network so I figured once I got it on BluRay song would of changed or I had imagined it all but nope its still there all these years later. lmao
Anyway I went on a bit of a tangent there. rofl I'm curious what the settlement was. They boosted a lot of images. Crazy all this came from that Capcom security breach. They most likely would of never been caught if that hadn't happened. Even then it was brought to the authors attention by another party who noticed all the eerie similarities right down to shattered glass images used on the RE4 logo or that mini door puzzle at that mayors house. People were very thorough to notice all that.
