GEORGE LUCAS GONNA SUE SOMEBODY

Ok, maybe not Lucas but Sony should. Or if I owned the rights to TWISTED METAL and GOD OF WAR, I sure as hell would at the least send a sternly worded legal letter.

Heck, I'd send two legal letters if it were me.

I mean, first Microsoft puts out a car combat game and calls it SCRAP METAL?

Hey, looks like a great game! Right up my alley! Day one purchase for me. But come on guys, isn't that just a little too close to Sony's own car combat game TWISTED METAL?

And then Sony has GOD OF WAR, a game and potential movie about mortals fighting ancient Greek Gods. And then this movie gets announced called WAR OF THE GODS about- yep!- mortals fighting ancient Greek Gods.

And look: Sony doesn't- and should not- own the concept of the Greek Myths. Nor should they own the idea of mortal fighting ancient Gods, Greek or any other kind. That's all public domain stuff. But the TITLE? Sony DOES own that. And GOD OF WAR/WAR OF THE GODS seem a little too close to comfort ya'll.

Anyway, like I said, not my fight. I don't own ****! :)

(There are some updates to the original blog, as well on the site.)

His suggestion have any validity, or should he be pimp slapped for even suggesting it?

Hard to comment personally because I am not familiar with how copyright laws work.

Yeah, the titles are similar, and most people with a video game background would recognize them and their themes, but on the other hand, I wouldn't think they would be close enough to sue over.

Of course, I'm sure it's no coincidence that Jaffe was the former lead in both GoW and Twisted Metal :P

Honestly, Ares was the "God of War" LLOOONNGGGG before Sony every thought about Kratos.

This is ALMOST as stupid as the girl writing the letter to Universal, claiming that The Wolfman ripped off Twilight.

Just my 2cp.

Nintendo should sue Sony because Kid Icarus had Greek mythological figures before God of War did...
