Ghostbusters Artist Gets The Shaft

TGH writes:
"This one kinda hits it close to home. It's not uncommon for an artist to get the short end of the stick in the industry. But, every time it does happen, it's really disappointing. The latest in such situations deals with the recently released "Ghostbusters" on the Wii. If you hadn't noticed, it uses a stylized take on the famed characters instead of trying to replicate the look of the HD versions of the game. The Wii's style was inspired by an independent artist by the name of Dan Schoening. His Ghostbusters renditions laid the foundation for the Wii's stylized look. If you take a look at some of his original work, you'll see the inspirations all throughout his pieces, and personally I feel his work is miles better than the final look they settled on for the game. Below are his words posted from his deviantART blog about the whole matter of not getting recognized… all he wanted was his name in the games credits! Also..."

was giving him a name credit too much? jeez...

Everything with Ghostbusters: TVG keeps getting worse and I'm a big fan!

bitboi5421d ago

im a big fan too, but they could have given him a credit. especially since he didn't ask for money. Being an artist myself, this type of mess makes me mad!

LostChild5421d ago

Same here. A least give me credit and that's all I ask for. But I been down this road before, PSN would have problably been named something else if I hadn't given the idea on what to name it and the Home feature may have never came to light. Even some of the features in some of todays game may not have been made. But it's all cool.

If they actually did use his art to work off of under the understanding that Dan would get credit and then they decide not to...Isn't that illegal?

jsoncip385421d ago

If it's not illegal its still kind of a messed up thing to do. At the same time - there may have been no malicious intent here - and someone may have just forgotten?

v1c1ous5421d ago

they did use his art as a BASE, but not the actual art.

he should have been recognized but...as mentioned, maybe someone forgot cause honestly...maybe it's not that big a deal?

The Lazy One5421d ago

they just forgot.

I mean games get developed for years at a time. They more than likely only heard his name for an hour at the beginning of early development then just worked off the concept art they based off his art.

He should have gotten it in writing, because it's kind of naive to think that someone in this industry is going to remember you after seeing a little bit of your art 3-4 years ago.

If he had been emailing them periodically, then I could see him being more disappointed.

Christopher5421d ago

But his artwork stands on its own. Those are some beautiful renditions of the Ghostbusters story and would love to see an animated movie done in that style.

Review - Ghostbuster The Video Game Remastered (Switch) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Todd Eggleston: "Ghostbusters The Video Game is nostalgia done right, and puts you right back in 1984. It isn’t a masterpiece of a game, and neither was the movie, but it reminds us again that it is ok for entertainment to just be entertaining. It is a game that deserves to be remastered and remembered. And 35 years later, it also serves to remind us that a remaster doesn’t always need to be Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott. Sometimes, Ray Parker Jr. is exactly who you need to call."
