JohnMalcolm1970 0 Posted August 8, 2007 I e-mailed New Media Maze (the PR company 505 Games are using to promote the expansion and run the website). Apparently they have been unable to get a firm decision from 505 Games, but are hoping to announce the results over the next day or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DBO_ 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Oh dear, you think they went with the safe bet to eliminate copyrights ? It certainly isnt the best looking and there are a few with this same shot. Queens what now ? that just dosent say it at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dslyecxi 23 Posted August 10, 2007 What the hell? That guy put zero effort into it! That's a screen from the trailer I did, with logos slapped onto it! What a joke! Considering the amount of real talent and effort that went into the contest, that's a complete disgrace as a winning entry. The guy did nothing, absolutely nothing - stole a screen from a trailer (which incenses me more because it's actually my "art" that he's using - my footage), slapped logos onto it, and somehow he wins when countless entries were done with far more heart, energy, time, and effort? I call shenanigans on this. I could have shit that entry out in a five minute window, and at least I would be able to claim that I actually created the screen used for it.

I call shenanigans on this. I could have shit that entry out in a five minute window, and at least I would be able to claim that I actually created the screen used for it. Does it really suprise you? Honestly? Yes and no. No, it doesn't surprise me, because that screenshot is a really solid one and the overall design (which I will not give credit to the "creator" for, because it's a completely obvious design and only works because of that specific screenshot) makes it work nicely as a minimalistic piece with lots of ambience. Also, from a copyright standpoint, they have nothing to worry about - they own the trailer it was created from, and therefore they own the screen. This is a very safe bet from their point of view. On the other hand, yes, it does surprise me that they took this particular entry when so many people put so much more time, energy, dedication, and love into it. It frustrates me that someone who did practically nothing ends up winning (regardless of the prize) a contest that many others deserved to win due to the talent and passion that they put into it. On a personal level, it frustrates me immensely. I know people who submitted great entries to this contest, entries which turned out extremely well, and to see them lose to someone who is winning largely because of my work feels like a roundabout and unintentional betrayal of those people. That gets me a bit heated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevb0 0 Posted August 10, 2007 I'm going to be honest, here. I think it could use a bit more Lens flair. I've taken the liberty of adding it myself, and thusly, I am now the winner of the contest.
