Naughty Dog Accused Of Lifting Assets From Assassin's Creed In Latest Uncharted Trailer
Giving a new meaning to the game's subtitle.
UPDATE: Neil Druckmann of Naughty Dog has come forward with a tweet regarding the situation, acknowledging that the company has indeed made a mistake.
The trailer has since been updated with a blog post apologizing to the original artist, Ubisoft, the Assassin's Creed team, and the fans.
--
It seems the folks at Naughty Dog are fans of Assassin's Creed, if the accusation that the company used stolen artwork in the latest Uncharted 4: A Thief's End trailer is any indication.
The latest trailer, which we posted earlier, appers to show a piece of concept art from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, according to a tweet by the franchise's head of content, AAzaïzia Aymar. You can find the artwork on a painting that's hanging on Nathan Drake's wall in the trailer. You can't see the pirate in the painting in the trailer as it's been cleverly cropped out, but it certainly does look like the same painting.
Naughty Dog has yet to respond to the allegations, but the image is obviously the same. Could this be a tongue-in-cheek reference to the "thief" subtitle? Is it on purpose? The jury's still out on what's going on, but as we uncover more facts we'll be sure to bring them to you.

Nope. Just a terrible coincidence and good on them for being honest about fucking up and fixing it.

It was a direct lift. When an artist does an "homage" it's a piece done in their own style.
This was a straight up stolen piece of artwork used without permission.-

It happens. It's a lot more rampant in the digital art community.

That happens too but if you're grabbing art off the internet. You have to vet it or run it past your art director.

In this thread people don't know what an homage is.

We're going to need a bigger cheese box.

I meant in the sense that people were calling it an homage when it's not.

It would be surprising if this wasn't the first time Naughty Dog has done this. Although I'm not sure if they ever came around to apologizing for the stolen art in Last Of Us
-
ha, I didnt know about the transit map until now. Was there any other instances of it?
-
Not sure, that just came to mind as soon as I saw this uncharted story
