Who is to say QA didn't flag it, or that they'd have any way of knowing it's temp?
very well said. I would imagine that any fellow artists watching this fiasco unfold were thinking "glad it wasn't me" instead of "those monsters how dare they"
They said it was a mistake, fixed it and apologised lol.
Except they probably weren't absent-minded when stealing this image. They knew what they were doing.

You seem upset that some of us don't care. Tough shit.
I knew this would be resolved quickly and is not worth getting worked up about.

The big question now is, will they keep the scene of Nate looking at the painting now? They would risk hundreds of people chuckling at it for 3 seconds
The worst thing is that this isn't even their first time.

Insane For Sony
I don't think that in-game scene looks all that similar to an artwork, beyond the superficial beach+cliff theme. I wouldn't think they need to redesign anything, or publicly do anything really beyond what they've already done at this point.
Google images has made it all too easy. Especially if you go into it with the state of mind in pre-production with "we need something like this, let's replace it with a real thing later". And later it gets forgotten. There is absolutely no way in hell anyone at their team involved in making this trailer could have known about this and willingly left it in the trailer, thinking that they'd get away with it. Everything gets discovered within seconds nowadays, and this was so prominently placed that it was impossible to miss. They must be kicking themselves over this as it was starting to become a bigger story than the trailer itself,

...Great, so like I said earlier, they just needed to replace the image, minuscule problem solved.
Opportunity.
What don't you get about the argument? I know they did, it was a stupid negligent mistake.
That being said saying "WHO CARES ITS A PAINTING ON A WALL ON A VIDEO GAME!" is quite literally= who cares if you steal?
Give me a break. I don't care what the object is, it doesn't change how important it is.

Then again maybe the picture is not meant to represent the exact same location we see in the game, just somewhere that looks somewhat similar.
Are you fucking kidding me? What *possible* gain could there be from deliberately thieving an image that there was *zero chance* of the internet missing?
This sort of thing happens all the time. It's happened to me, technically, though no one happened to catch it before I was able to fix it. You might not understand the general pipeline a video game development company goes through.
ND defence force is so strong.
I think someone took the bait
Lol.
This thread's a laugh riot.
And mod trolling to boot - perfecto/
nd gotta away with it too easily!
the number of posts suggesting delay were entertainment
Overreaction, under-reaction, gifs.
Yep. And that's that.
But maaaaaaan what is up with Uncharted fans? We all love the game but duuuuuude. It's like video game pop GAF.

Some of the responses in this thread are crazy
1) they blatantly stole artwork, they deserve to be taken to task and anyone bad mouthing ubi making it okay to steal from ubi need to have their fanboy goggles taken off
2) they admitted their huge mistake and apologized, there is no reason to continue on with a ND witchhunt

It's probably an important scene.
It's Nate ignoring Elena to look at the painting, much like the theme of the game seems to be giving up certain things to pursue an adventure.
So it's not like they can just cut it out. Hopefully they create a good image to put in the frame.

Yeah definitely. We actually have a department that double checks every piece of art that we are using and we have to sign off of it. The reason for that is we had some licensed footage of the MET that we had bought and then two shots from the MET that we had as placeholders early in pre-production. We caught one of them but not the other. It was a huge problem and an expensive one so yeah as much as it can be a big inconvenience its definitely a necessary one.
He really should have just made sure to remove it early, because based on the way the final location looks the actual concept art probably looked extremely close to that AC4 sketch and would have been really difficult to distinguish from the rest.
Yeah it happens on almost every project we work on as well, thankfully someone usually catches it.
Do I need to even say that stealing is wrong? Who is disputing that? It just boggles the mind that this thread is 14 pages. Over a painting. On a wall. Temp art. Is this actually big news?

Ubi should launch the pirate island artwork of the year edition and make Bruce and Neil buy half the units as a penitence.
Both sides are extremely strong.

Wow...I thought this was some huge conspiracy story by skimming through, u guys need to get out more, laid or something.
Anyway, hopefully the artist get credited in the ending or something lol.

When the hell did I say that? I'm arguing for apologists who are saying this is no big deal just because they like ND and the games they make.
Google images makes it INSANELY easy to filter out copyrighted images.

Or the state of being pressure to get a game released which unfortunately can lead to mistakes and oversights.

The salty force hoping for something to trip up ND is even stronger. Talks about a delay. What a fucking joke.
Can I just ask why if it was a placeholder, would they edit out the pirate?
I want you to cover your name and avatar and read your post.
See how douchey it seems?

Nobody can make mistakes anymore. This is ridiculous. How is this thread still alive? They've apologized and resolved the issue. Move on with your lives people and play a potential GOTY candidate in 2 months.
Because it takes 2 minutes and makes it look closer to what they wanted.
You're quite literally saying, it's just a small item so who cares if it's stolen. You added temp art to this post btw.
