Dishonored 2 Jane Doe

Hoo boy. I had to do a double-take this morning as I caught up with all the video game news coming out of E3. I was scrolling through a photo gallery of limited / deluxe editions of games that publishers have revealed when I got to the Dishonored 2 Collectors Edition, which comes with a poster that looks shockingly familiar. I don't think it's any stretch to say that whoever designed this poster lifted the composition, pose, and high contrast look straight from Jacob Bannon's cover art for Converge's classic album Jane Doe. Yeah, 99% of video games are either derivative or straight-up sequels. But apprently even the artists are out of original ideas.

    Last year, Takara made an amazing Transformer out of a pun, mashing up the big bad guy, Megatron, with Sega's 16-bit Mega Drive. And while it was nowhere near as punny, they followed it up with a Playstation-based Optimus Prime. But they stopped there.

    Sanrio had a booth at NYCC but it was pretty much empty. There were a few pieces under glass, such as their collaboration with Chocolate Skateboards, but didn't have anything for sale.
