[SatelliteOfLove]

Pick any of these random fonts they decided to toss on the UI

Sting; "Pffff, amateurs."

 

[Giever]

I think you meant this one, Pop Joy

They're identical, as far as I can tell. Does the game specifically credit a font?

EDIT: I found a comment online saying Hey Gorgeous is a rip-off of Pop Joy, so maybe that's it!

 

[Kyleripman]

This thread made me look for the Dark Souls font. (or at least a reasonable approximation)

 

[Muffdraul]

Sorry, that font isn't even remotely similar.

They're remotely similar, but I agree he was reeeaaaaaally overstating the case.

 

[iNvid02]

This should be in some sort of "OT Guidelines & Tips" or somesuch. Great going, Nvid.

i shared the tip in the OT/OT thread a while back, that place is the closest to a guidelines/tips thread

[QUOTE="D";182316594]No MGS4 Guns of the Patriots font?? C'mone mane

Isn't that because it's not really a font? I could be wrong but it just looks like it's been custom drawn - the letter 'i' doesn't look the same both times in Liquid.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

And Mass Effect.

Pretty sure that's the same font used in Halo CE's (and maybe Halo 2?) menus and in-game tutorial pop-ups as well.

Pretty sure it's used in Final Fantasy XIII for the damage counts and whatnot too.

It's an absolutely horrible font. Proper try hard sci fi font. That and Futura Condensed (Skyrim) are two of my most hated fonts.

Really awesome that something like a font can be so defining for a game's presentation.
Most of these, you just glimpse at the font and you know where it's from!

I always liked that generic font found in a lot of DS games. I can't remember the exact name but I think it was part of the dev kit or something?

I'm looking for the mgsv subtitles font.

Does anyone have it?

a quick google search, out of curiosity :

The font is called 'ニューシネマA' ('New Cinema A') by Fontworks Inc. It appears to be in widespread use in the Japanese cinema, anime, and video game industries.

[LOLCats]

And Mass Effect.

if they made their own font, there would be no licensing cost.

Spoiler

sure they could have made a few

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Anyone know the Metal Gear Solid 2 font used for the previous story content in the game? It is really close to a few fonts, but I can't seem to find one that matches perfect.

Nothing beats comic sans.

Did you make that cover yourself? That game never existed. Neither did Indiana Jones 4.
