EXACTLY!!!! So every onw and then we see indie devs or supporters of indie devs taking potshots at gameloft lol! Don't get me started on the clone issue again and word of advise : Those who live in glass houses must not throw stones!!!
Holy Shit Spiffy THATS WHAT I SAID! I said that in another thread about blades of glory. That's all I ask. I mean seriously I just don't want people encouraging gameloft to think we're stupid, that's all.
Wow, really. Apparently you can copyright the word "edge" but you can't copyright a UI. Weird. Anyway again your missing the point, (does anyone read?) I didn't say the quality of their games sucked, I said they shouldn't make it so obvious. Why, oh why on earth do they HAVE to call sandstorm Modern Combat? Why oh why does the hero have to be from sparta? These are the questions I'm raising.
We are not encouraging Gameloft that we are stupid, we encouraging gameloft to keep on giving us or at least us hardcore gamers 'real console quality experience' on the iphone. This argument is getting old already but haters just keep on going i mean if you don't like GL games then go on play something else why does it matters to you that other people are enjoying their so called clones when 95% of games for the idevices are also clones of other games. Now tell me 5 games you love for the idevice and let's continue on.....
A) Because 'Modern Combat: Sandstorm' is not set in the Past and/ or future. B) Because 'Hero of Greece' sounds just plain stupid, and so does 'Hero of Athens'. C) I highly doubt you can copyright a UI's format. You can probably copyright the hard images and things, but if someone has a UI that LOOKS like the UI you made and copyrighted, I doubt you can sue them because there is only so much space you can put the UI in. Now if they directly copied the images used in your UI, that's a different story.
Spider, Samurai, CS.one, Real Racing, Sway, And Rasta Monkey. Ready when you are. Ooopps silly me that's six...
One can argue that CS.one is similar to Geometry Wars, and that Real Racing is similar to any other racing game on the market. Hell, they even use the same things to move around in: cars. I bet the makers of NFS can sue their ass! I'm also pretty sure Rasta Monkey isn't an original concept... Not sure, but it looks awfully familiar.
CS.one may share the similar aspects of having geometric shapes for enemies, and Real racing may have cars like NFS, but I'm not arguing about genres and their differences. I'm specifically targeting blatant emulation. Not the flattering kind either. Sure I understand we all want our GTA, and COD on the run, but as another poster said...patience. Just as Rockstar has arrived, I'm sure the cavalry is on the way.
Alright nice games i agree... now samurai.... does in remind you if ninja gaiden dragon sword DS? or maybe you never heard or played it lol! CS: one.... hmmmm geometry wars ...Real Racing ...well just about every racing game ...now maybe sway is an original concept but i'm not too sure about rasta monkey
A genre is just clones in multitude as i've already discussed in another thread... and its funny how you want to use the word clone for a game you dont want and genre for a game you want... its very biased and subjective!!!!
That is very original. I thought you didn't like "rip-offs" from console games. Or is it just bad when Gameloft does it? Very well though. This is pretty much Ninja Gaiden for the iPhone. You think a Geometry Wars clone with good graphics is original??? What the hell, man? Now, that's extremely original... NOT!!! Firemint just saw that we needed a racing sim for the iPhone and made one for us. That's pretty much taking the Gameloft approach.... I understand Sway, but... Rasta Monkey?! Isn't that a watered down 2D clone of Sway? I just don't get it! Why do people get so mad about clones of console games on the iPhone and they are perfectly ok with clones of other iPhone games on the iPhone?! Should it be the other way around? So you have six favorites.. But only two of them can actually be "original IPs".
You guys are getting all hyped for this......think a second. They said Wifi and Bluetooth multiplayer. Idk if Im the only one who actually thought before jumping to the conclusion of "OMG MULTIPLAYERZZ" but dont games that have Bluetooth and Wifi Multplayer in the same sentence mean, LOCAL?! They never said wwWifi. Just Wifi and Bluetooth. God, I hope Im wrong, but Im just saying, everygame so far that has Wifi and Bluetooth Mutlplayer next to each other, means local.
I know, right? That's why I'm not sure about the Halo clone. Imagine if Halo only had local Wifi multiplayer..
Wait... why the hell were there two replies saying EXACTLY what I said? Literally, it's almost exactly the same!
