[queamin]

Not happy with one or two small bits they could have copied and maybe got away with it,they went for it ha ha.

 

[helmutcheese]

So they get rich, then get sued for Millions ?

 

[TheVoice]

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines

The game features apparently stolen graphics that, according to news site GamePlasma, are identical to the game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.[1] Further screenshots and video have suggested[2] that environments and features have also been stolen from Diablo II, Painkiller, Unreal Tournament 2003, Unreal Tournament 2004, Thief: Deadly Shadows, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Silent Hill 4, Crysis, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and scenes from the 1997 film Spawn and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and World of Warcraft.

Stealing scenes from films for cutscenes lololol

How the hell did they get a publisher? I'm not saying that something made with software like that doesn't deserve a price tag, but the people behind it should at least have something to their name before hand!

Also hasn't this game been in the pipe for years?

 

[sniffy]

lol unbelievable...

 

[Devlish]

well it doesnt sound like theres an easy answer (other than 'we ripped off multiple games')....

"The official statement regarding recent inquiries about similarities between Limbo and other titles

Tri Synergy, Inc. would like to publish an official comment regarding recent comparisons of level design and artwork between Majestic Studios’ Limbo of the Lost and Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion/Eidos Interactive’s Thief: Deadly Shadows.

Tri Synergy is just as shocked as everyone else is by the recent screenshot comparisons. At no point during our dealings with Majestic Studios up until the point that the comparison was first publicly made by a third party did we have any knowledge of these similarities. Additionally, Tri Synergy will discontinue distribution of Limbo of the Lost in both retail and online outlets.

We have contacted the developer, Majestic, and are anxiously awaiting their response. As soon as we know more on this matter we will issue another statement."

I just can't believe this, cannot wait to hear the devs response

I bet that was a fun conversation

 

[KittensCake]

lmao did they even create any of their own art? Looks like they've stolen almost everything from other games.

Those three guys look well dodgy, definitely involved in organised crime, scamming...etc

 

[sniffy]

If they try to blag it, the dev response will indeed be comedy gold.

 

[Mikoyan]

this is hilarious at same time im laughing but also angry how these muppets think they could steal coders hard work

 

[Coldfox]

Found this on another forum, unbelievable.

Here comes WETA!

[KittensCake]

lmfao! I'm actually beginning to wonder if this is some kind of wind up now. it is truly unbelieveable.

 

[Proc]

Surely nobody can be that stupid, how did they think they would get away with it. They must have thought "its a budget game hardly anyone is gonna play it, so no-one will know. But even if we sell a few copies then cool thats some beer money".

Either these various studios who have had content stolen will tell the publisher to remove all copies from the shelves, or will think sod it we'll take the pub and dev to the cleaners to warn others.

 

[Schnippzle]

Ridiculous.

 

[Hellsmk2]

Awesome! I really want a copy of this game now.

 

[Frapple]

It's all publicity Whether or not it'll cover the law suits in a different matter.

 

[caff]

This is PC game development comedy gold

The developers from Kent look like Del Boy and Boycey types

At least they chose some decent games to steal from

 

[d3moliti0n]

How idiotic must they be to think were not going to recognize all of these games that have been ripped off. I can't wait to hear what the devs have to say.
