The Most Controversial Video Game Lawsuits

Tom Cruise gave a face to this sci-fi war movie about a soldier reliving a day over and over again, but the story of Edge of Tomorrow started as a Japanese comic series called "All You Need is Kill." The writer came up with the idea after noticing how video games used death to train players, turning them from beginners into veterans - just like the movie's hero. If the video game ties weren't clear enough, the idea for the movie's robotic exoskeletons was also introduced in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - released just months la


However, the suit itself did not quite go to plan for PUBG Corp, with the company dropping the suit just a month after it launched it. The exact details of why this has happened are as-yet unknown, but the wider industry has avoided having difficult questions asked about games of a similar genre being subject to copyright claims. After all, although there are similarities between PUBG and Fortnite , there would be every chance that PUBG itself would then be subject of a suit from one who came before in the battle royale subge


But for Fortnite to be thrown into this category is a bit unfair. Fortnite came out a while ago with no real multiplayer PvP game mode. But suddenly, after the massive success of PUBG , it added something special. The biggest difference between the game is the building, something Fortnite is based on almost entir

With a relatively modest budget, the filmmaking team enlisted a batch of active-duty Navy SEALs to create one of the most gritty and grounded military operation films ever conceived. Not only are the leading men in Act of Valor actual servicemen, the directors also employed a number of unconventional production techniques - including live ammunition and explosives. However, is the actual film - aside from all the realistic combat sequences and compelling production choices - an enjoyable and high-octane experie


It's weird things like this that keep players playing, and keeps the qualities memes in circulation. Just hope that rocket man's car in the picture above doesn't suddenly burst into flames, like the in-game vehicles are prone to do


A Halo movie is still just a dream, but when Peter Jackson was producing the film back in 2006, he saw Neill Blomkamp as the perfect director for the project, who turned heads by mixing CG creatures with lo-fi camerawork and realistic sets instead of massive green screen spectacle. When the movie plans were scrapped, Jackson decided to produce Blomkamp’s District 9 instead, featuring alien creatures, conflicts, weapons and action scenes torn right out of a first person shooter. The movie was based on one of the director’s short film, but Blomkamp’s original goal and similarities have led many to claim that District 9 is as close a vision of Blomkamp’s Halo movie as fans will ever


Some people out there really don't have a great grasp on their emotions. Whenever a debate or discussion gets heated or veers away from what they feel comfortable with, the tears start to flow. With some, they are tears of sadness or pain, while others are tears of anger and r


Most of the time when we drink tears we sort of just deal with the person's face right underneath their eyes. It's not as easy to "milk" their tears or collect them in a jar. But this meme has the right idea using a straw. However, we do not condone the wasteful nature of straws and the growing number of gigantic plastic islands floating in the oceans. But this is perhaps the most valued use of a straw we have ever seen. It's unpreceden


Pitting four surivors with a sense of humor against an army of the undead made Zombieland a hit, but one video game series was using zombies for fun, not fear long before. The zombie shooter Left 4 Dead followed the same formula, even shaping its campaign and marketing to resemble a Hollywood film, but fans soon turned the game into an online sensation, where hilarious kills were the top priority. Zombieland kept the sense of humor and tension, and even "Kills of the Week" competitions intact, not to mention a finale set in a zombie-filled amusement park - a location included in Left 4 Dead Destiny 2 Player Count Trends , released shortly after the mo


As video game releases continue to bring in millions, or billions of dollars for major publishers, movie studios are turning to video game movies as their next big thing. But the ties between movies and games have existed longer than most fans, or executives, probably real


Some of the most popular and profitable video games in history have followed elite soldiers into battle, with the Call of Duty series painting the picture of modern war for a generation. So when the minds behind Act of Valor turned to real Navy SEALS - not actors - to show audiences what war really looks like, video games were impossible to ignore. With millions of gamers experiencing combat down the barrel of a gun, the directors made sure to recreate that sensation in live-action. You could say that video games simply copied the real tactics of the soldiers, but filming and editing them to look like a game is something else entir
