The real reason behind the Spider-Man font on PS3.

[Timstuff]

It's a reminder to developers that with great power, comes great responsibility.

 

[Mentok]

Nope.

 

[Mr. Credible]

...

 

[hey yo its sean]

I likeded it.

 

[CM Punk]

This is the kind of thing the internet is used for...

 

[Topdawg]

Good one.

 

[Avalanche]

Haven't Sony and Spiderman teamed up before? They did that whole thing with GT in the past, where Spiderman swung over the track as the race went on below.

 

[arachnid-guy]

ahhaha!

At last...a simple message.

I salute you!

 

[TrailerCues]

This has to be one of the most stupidests thing I have read today. If you ask me they were simply to lazy to find different text to use

SONY own the film rights to Spider-Man and they also own the Spider-Man film text.

In other words definitely to lazy to find something else

 

[Avalanche]

It's only a font. Get a grip.

 

[arachnid-guy]

I love the font, mainly bcause it's to do with Spidey.

Ah well, it's like marmite.

I've whipped up a sketch to represent TrailerCues thoughts on the PS3 font.

Two young men, Jeremy and Ernest, are browsing their local computer game shop.

-------------------------------

Jeremy: "Hey, look. There's Devil May Cry 4. I think I'll get it."
Ernest: "But wait one second."
J: "What?"
E: "There's something familiar about this."
J: "There is?"
E: "OMGZZZZZ!!!! It's the font. It's the font! OMGZZZZ!!!! It's the Spiderman font. Sony are totally lazy. They're totally just using the Spiderman font! OMGZZZZZZ!!!!"
J: "So?"
E: "So, Sony are totally lazy. Totally a rip off. Totally don't buy a Sony game ever because the font is the same as the Spiderman font. OMGZZZZ!!!!! You should buy a 360 game. The font on their boxes is fresh, inventive, innovative and takes the fonts on video games cases to a whole new groundbreaking level."
J: "It's just a font dude. I don't really care."
E: "But OMGZZZZ!!!!! The Wii font is playful. Full of joyous energy and youthful exuberance. It harks to the roots of video games, drawing us in with a sense of familiarity and robust lines. Sony are totally lazy. OMGZZZ!!!"
J: "Yeah, I don't care. It's just a font. It has absolutely no impact on the game I'm about to buy, because it's just a font. No one really cares about the font. I'm buying Devil May Cry 4."
E: "But OMGZZZZ!!! Sony are lazy. You're encouraging them to be lazy. You're feeding their laziness by buying their PS3 games with their awful Spiderman font. So unimaginative. Who would buy a PS3 game now?"
J: "Go away."

-----------------------------------

There we have it. Jeremy is a sensible reflection of your average gamer, who actually couldn't care less about the font on the PS3 cases.

 

[Danalys]

well it's only the playstation and spider-man that can save sony so they might aswell try to combine the two. why do you think the first PSPs came with Spider-man 2 on UMD for free. i'm surprised sony don't use their own first parties for a spider-man game really. neversoft and treyarch have been good for spider-man games and superhero games in general tho. since most other superhero games seem to try to copy the spidy ones asmuch as they can.

You have to much time on your hands & you are very wrong. The thrad arthor said something I just disagree with him its as simle as that

 

[Avalanche]

OMGZZZ!!! You're totally right.

I'll admit I'm clearly bored if I'm writing out little sketches, but all the whining about something so pathetically insignificant really gets on my nerves.

 

[TrailerCues]

but all the whining about something so pathetically insignificant really gets on my nerves.

Thats one of the reasons what message boards are for & blame the thread starter for starting this

 

[Axid]

God damn you thrad arthor!!!

SONY own the film rights to Spider-Man and they also own the Spider-Man film text.

Apparently they also own the rights to the CONCEPT of a spider-man film.

In a recent interview, Brian Michael Bendis said that originally during the arc of Ultimate Spider-Man where spidey drops in on Sam Raimi making a movie about Spider-Man, Sony Pictures had to OK that, because they own the idea of a spider-man movie. They said no at first. Right after Bendis rewrote it to be "Arachno-Man: The Movie", a cheap knockoff film, Sony gave the go-ahead, after hearing a lot of pressure from Marvel execs.

Someone explain to me how that is not ******ed.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

They hope the font is good luck I guess.

 

[Fran]

With great laziness comes great copying.
