I like how *puts up flame shield* is always followed by possibly the dumbest statement a person could make because they know they couldn't defend their point with any evidence.Evaheist666 said:
Your flame shield is broken, because you will suffer my laser guided wrath.
It isn't plagiarism if it the original creator and original company are involved. If Miyamoto had left Nintendo 10 years ago and stated he doesn't like where the franchise is going, if the characters belong to Nintendo and NOT Miyamoto, then Miyamoto cannot complain. But he's been there the whole way. He was just at E3.
By Your logic, Mark twain stole the idea of Adventured of Huckleberry Finn from Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer. George Lucas stole the idea and made the Star Wars prequels without the consent of the original creator because he watched Star Wars 4,5,6.
Plagiarism is the use of another person's ideas and claiming them as your own. Plagiarism would be if I took a copy of Mega Man 4, cracked the coding, removed all of the credits of the people who made it put my name in it instead and renamed it Blue Hero Boy and expecting people to not know what I did.
If I were to make as bold a statement as to say Mario games plagiarize from other Mario games, I'd sure as hell bring some evidence and be able to defend what I said.
Now, for possibly the dumbest part of your statement: Zelda games are a copy of Zelda 2? You had to pick the strange Zelda game, didn't you. Not only did you make a bold statement with intend to flame, but you also move on to show how little you actually know of the subject. How dare you? How dare you attempt to participate in this conversation with such nothing? Do you know anything about Mario and Zelda games other than they're popular with Nintendo? I doubt it.
Did Mario 1, 2 or 3 exist in a 3D world? No. Did Mario 1, 2 or 3 Allow Mario to take more than 3 hits? No. Did Mario 1, 2 or 3 involve Mario and Boweser teaming up to fight a tribe of evil robots? No. Did Mario 1, 2 or 3 have Yoshi? No. Did Mario 1, 2 or 3 involve Bowser eating Mario and Luigi and then the brother had to fight Bowser from the inside? No.
Did Zelda 2... I guess it would be easier to say which games actually were similar to Zelda 2. Actually I'm going to ignore you put the 2 on there because your statement was just too strange. Zelda games that involve shrinking Link to an incredibly tiny size? Zelda game that saw the world flooded and a child Link must team up with pirates to save his sister? Zelda game where Link is a train conductor and Zelda is actively participating in the adventure? Zelda game where Link is split into 4 different Links who must all work together to save the day? Zelda game where Link is turned into a wolf?
big question time: do all Mario game share common traits and ideas? Do all Zelda games share common traits and ideas? Of course they do. If they don't, it becomes very strange. In the 1 game where Link was 3rd Person Shooting, it was very strange. But all of the other games share the same spirit, same goes for the Mario games.
Now I'm going easy on you because I'm tired, but next time before you make some non-sense claim as you did, be prepared to back up your words because on the internet you will not always find a person as kind as I am right now.
I don't think it counts as plagerism if it's your own IP.Evaheist666 said:
But yeah, the games are usually similar to a fault, but people like what they know, which is why ninty does so well for themselves.
I watched that it was absolutely hilarious. The terminator dude had a permanent angry face rather than emotionally dead, and he'd point his gun at everything as soon as it moved or spoke. Very hard to take seriously. Very, very funny indeed.LobsterFeng said:
OT: Every 2D plain fighting game ever. They are all the same thing, none haven't changed in 30 years, and people STILL buy them.
I personally quite liked the zelda game where you were to collect x maguffins from various themed temples and you got that one item in the temple that turned out to be very important for navigating the second half of the temple and allowed you to beat the boss.orangeapples said:
Also the end boss is usually Gannon

40k started in 1987.
Starship Troopers came out in 1997.
(Fuck I feel old)
The Imperial Guard are based off British, Russian and German WW1/WW2 soliders, vehicles and weapons.
Yes, the Eldar are elves in space, but that's only really ripping off Warhammer. That had elf elves. In the woods. Not space.
I did however, think of ATSTs when I saw the Sentinel.
Hahaha that is fucking genius :')dls182 said:
Avatar ripped off Pocahantus and it's the highest grossing movie ever, so yeah that.
It was a book in about the 1960's, don't worry I never figured out how to turn them on either ;PRobCoxxy said:
According to my friend the guys working on the game DOW were in some sort of partnership (something along those lines) with blizzard. Then blizzard decided they didn't need them around anymore and dumped them, but not before taking some of their models and skins and whatnot and starcrafting them up.Raddra said:
thats what i meantStrangerQ said:
As for being a ripoff of the boardgames or storylines of Warhammer and 40k, i don't think so. Yes warcraft has orcs and elves and a lot or all of the same or similar races to Warhammer, But how each race acts and functions and their storylines and stuff is totally different. Any similarities boil down to being your average fantasy world elements.
Starcraft and 40k have a similar relationship. Some units may look the same, the races may have some similarities such as orks and zergs being weak but strong in big numbers. But when it comes down to it the story, backstory, and the personalities of each race are completely different.
OT: I haven't run into much plagiarism in any games. The closest i've seen to plagiarism is small tidbits of info or character design that seem like they came from somewhere else, such as Orianna from League of Legends (the stuff she says and her voice remind me of GlAdOs). As for plagiarism in anything else i'm going to have to say Avatar, which is Fern Gulley (and Fern Gulley was more entertaining. Some people say Pocahontas but i don't like that movie so i say Fern Gulley).
I love how "average" fantasy elements are. You'd think by now people would try to break some of the molds and actually create some "fantastic concepts.Dizeazedkiller said:
Anyway, In terms of Heavily borrowed material, you do't have to look far. Digimon and Pokemon are two things very similar regardless of name, you could always claim that X Pet game stole Y Idea from Z pet game (Dragon Warrior Monster/Digimon/Monster Rancher/Pokemon) All had some sort of arena combat with a generally deific human ruling over a weaker subserviant creature.
After Playing the First Witcher Game, I Thought it was very similar to what Mass Effect would have been Sans Guns. But for true copying I simply put forward the thousand side scrollers that littered the early console years. Such as Bubsy and Cool Spot.
Year 10 creative writing, ripped the name, story, characters straight out of Saints Row.
On a less loosely game based note.
ICO and Shadow of the Colossus
I mean, it's like scene for scene, some companies are so lazy

Well, it can be argued that the tyranids are clearly influenced to a heavy degree by the HR Giger Alien. It's a brilliant design, mind you, don't get me wrong. Still, it's clearly there and impossible to deny, the Tyranids are distant cousins of the alien.Doom-Slayer said:
There was a Japanese game back on the NES (IIRC) that just used the Stars Wars main theme in the advertisement. I can't remember the name of it. Just saw it on Machinima's Top Ten FTW.
This was certainly the most hilarious example of plagiarism I've seen in recent memory..
I know there is a pretty laughable lack copyright and intellectual property law in China, but it's a little sad when the government goes there too..
