MollAgdeduba Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Since i've seen that character in the Devstream, the only thing i've thinked was that it look like Kylo Ren from Star Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRosenkreuz Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 To be totally fair, Warframe is a science fiction video game. And if there's one thing I've learned playing such... ...it's that if you just give it long enough, Claudia Black might actually end up voicing a character.

They don't even look alike when you look at Vala from teaser and Claudia Black closely, both have very different face structures and proportions. If anything her face model looks like it is made with a face-app by using Adam Driver's and Cate Blanchett's faces. 2 hours ago, Corvid said: You know what we need less of in this community? Armchair Lawyers. Agreed. People said same with Nora Night and similarity with DJ from The Warriors. I swear they do not know what " homage " is and jump into " CopYriGHt inFrIngEMenT " bandwagon without a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SneakyErvin Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 It's homage at best, and that is if the name is inspired by Claudia's SG-1 character and not a play on an ancient word for seeress/wand. Right now we dont know enough about what Vala will be, so we cant really say. edit: And since the update will be called Call of the Tempestarii, which is already a reference to magic and magicians I'm not suprised if Vala is inspired by seeress or wand.

Nothing in there looks like an acceltra? When Acceltra dropped similar threads to this one started to appear claiming that the Acceltra was exactly like the Bolter from Warhammer, when those comments started to drop suddenly a portion of the players started parroting that statement to no end until maybe they realized it didn't made them interesting at all so they dropped it. Now it's this thing with Claudia Black, check the youtube video of Vala and read the comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj_piwLx7gk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract7777 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 This is the same thing with the whole Nemesis thing. It's a bunch of armchair lawyering from people who don't know anything about patent law and definitely aren't practicing lawyers. Companies like DE have TEAMS of lawyers for stuff like this, and I guarantee you they aren't worried about it, or the Nemesis thing either, for that matter. This kind of speculation just creates needless hysteria. Gossiping about it is at best worthless and at worst actually harmful to any kind of meaningful discussion atmosphere.

I've never watched farscape or sg1, but i can imagine this is about as striking a likeness as Acceltra is to a Bolter. It was less the look and more the way it functions (A rapid-fire microrocket launcher). Still tenuous, but at least a shade more logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IggySnow Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 only time a lawsuit would actually stand for something like this is if it was essentially a 1 to 1 comparison, and it was proven DE used the copyrighted character for reference while making the character. Its actually very easy to get away with almost completely ripping off a character design and not getting into any legal consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most famous actor on there did MacGyver in 1985, don't think there is any chance it's going to blow up. The merits (or lack thereof) of a copyright suit aside, the "chance it's going to blow up" is probably more dependent on who might be able to sue, and who is available to be sued. I doubt the popularity of SG-1 really factors into that decision, even if some of us did watch it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it went 10 seasons and spawned 2 spin off series 😛 /sarcasm lol 3 hours ago, elmetnuter said: Characters names in shows are not copyrighted. Actually they are. A screenplay/script and all it's contents, including character names fall under Literary Works copyright laws. A tv show/movie and it's contents fall under Motion Picture copyrights. Just like any original musical soundtracks fall under Sound Recording copyrights. Believe it or not, there is actually a Likeness Copyright to protect an actor/performer's likeness so their image or likeness can't be used without permission.

ElKayJae Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 It is extremely difficult to sue just based on similarities in appearance. DE needs to also copy the backstory and personality traits before they can be sued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)haphazardlynamed Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 OK, I missed some devstreams but what's with the ugly photorealistic character design? this really doesn't fit with Warframe's existing semi-tooney style of characters. or the rendering engine used ingame... yuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
