I kind of wondered initially if the Asscreed art was a photobash sourced from the same image as the Uncharted one, but it doesn't seem like it. Hrmm.

Exactly. Like why not just use a screenshot from their Remastered Uncharted games. Boggles the brain to think the guy using the image did that. So hilariously silly.

Too many people are calling it an easter egg... which has me thinking, what makes something an easter egg?
It's more like there's either one lazy ass artist in their studio or from an outsourced studio who put this in. Obviously few people are going to be able to just see that picture and know that it was stolen from the AC artbook.
Does anyone here really think that this is intentional on the part of the studio? Obviously it was intentional from the idiot who put it in.
In fact I don't give a damn about the "theft". Big companies stealing amongst them, big deal.
However the way people here so easily accept the fact or outright deny the theft... man, I thought we were a little above this.
If Nintendo or Retro fuck up I don't go parading how good they are or how it must be a coincidence.
Come on now. Let's not act like people don't treat studios like ND and CDPR just a tiny bit better than they do Ubi.
Assassin's Creed downgraded "oh my god how dare they"
Witcher 3 downgraded "hardware limitations guys"

Reposting from the other thread.
Jonathan Cooper is an ex-ubisoft animator. He joined Naughty Dog and said some stuff about his previous employer when the female assassins thingy came to light.
Now with this news, an Ubisoft Montreal dev (creative director) tweeted this to him
He waited two years... all for revenge.
Alex Hutchinson is on some NeoGAF necrobump levels.
Still can't touch Mortal Kombat (3 years) XD
Nah, clearly just an accident. It's ND and Sony, don't you dare call it for what it is!

I would love to have a window to a parallel universe where Ubisoft were the ones that ripped off some random art from an Uncharted game. It would be like "opposite day".
lol, I almost spit out my water.
If it's an important they should have made their own; if it's not important they should have laid 10p for an inconsequential piece of art.
As I'd they clearly did use someone else's work. I doubt Naughty Dog are in the work of paying for theft so whoever did it is probably in a bit of stick.

Yawn. This whole story will blow over in a day or two after folks get their bitching/mocking/snark out of their systems. ND will apologize. The artist responsible will get reprimanded. Employees at Naughty Dog, Sony and Ubisoft will all move on with their lives. Uncharted 4 will not be delayed any longer due to this, and will go on to get rave reviews, sell many millions, and win multiple GOTY awards at the end of the year.

I think ubisoft would have oked this or the artwork isnt owned by ubisoft anymore.
Accident? It's an easter egg bro. They even removed the pirate because it made the reference too obvious.

Sure, I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm disagreeing with the notion that they're wouldn't be any defenders or that the entire thread would be jumping down Ubisofts throat.
There's people who shitpost on GAF. This comes as a surprise to no one.
And you must have missed out on the Witcher 3 downgrade thread. There were plenty of people on both sides.

"Well, at least they managed to steal from the better franchise I suppose"
Don't quote my avatar
I highly doubt they got permission for one jpg. It's obviously a lazy dude who thought he could slip this by people.
Well he slipped it by ND but obviously not the internet.
The original artist said they didn't get permission. As far as I know anyway, that neogaf poster could be a fake.
Being that an Ubi rep tweeted it, I would say there is a very slim chance of it being OK. lol Anyway, no way any company is going to let another game use their artwork. "Exposure" as someone called it, is not a good thing. Getting paid money is a good thing. Exposure is a bullshit ploy to get shit for free.
Because Alex Hutchinson from Ubisoft called them out on it.

While I do agree with that, I would say it might be harder to license out the actual art, unless they literally used the same photograph and the colors are the same...
I guess it's all murky at this point until someone says something (which probably wont happen anyway).
anything but this...You'd care if you had your artwork being lifted for something else without your permission...at least if you did anything creative you might care.

looool
Exposure doesn't even make sense since there's no reference that it's from AC.
Look again. Of course someone did.
Heck if they got permission you would think the Ubi guy would have known better than to brag about it on twitter.

Lol, they got YOU and tons of other people talking about it. They done did good. Now people will watch who weren't interested in the game and probably end up playing it.

+the artist themselves didn't get credit
how are you supposed to get exposure if people don't even know who the artist is lol

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Probably wouldn't happen. They outsource their concept art to some really amazing people like David Levy.

This is an obvious eff up by ND but I am not going to get my pitch fork out. This seems like a shared asset blunder or an artist who copied his neighbors home work. That doesn't make it ok or remove any of the negativity but I do think people are overreacting.
I mean, I played the Homefront Beta a few weeks ago and it was literally Far Cry 4 reskinned. I didn't see anyone in there blasting the devs for "stealing" from Ubisoft or calling out the devs to cancel their game out of embarrassment (The game itself did that but that is not the point).
It's been brought to light and will likely be dealt with by ND. in a few months all that will be left of this mishap will be these amazing Meme's and GIF's
