Most blatant rip offs you've ever seen.

[Crazy_Dude]

Bah... Pocahontas.. Ripped off Avatar so bad..

Nah man, Dances with wolves was the original rip-off.

This takes the cake:

I actually saw all of it, because i was curious. Not recommended.

"Snakes on a Train" and "Alien vs Hunter" come to mind.

I never saw any of them though and I aint planning to do so.

First thing I thought of when I saw the tittle of this thread was Eragon. I was going to rip it a new one in my post because I hold so much anger towards that series. But then I was ninja'd. Good show pal!

I wonder how this series managed to become so popular despite the complete lack of originality?

 

[BENZOOKA]

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition was a complete ripoff of The Witcher.
*sniff*

I don't really have much on my plate here, do I.

Two words: The Asylum.

On a more serious note, I always found the Zerg in Starcraft to be a massive ripoff of the Tyranid from Warhammer 40K

Probably the Great Giana Sisters

The strange thing is that the Great Giana Sisters got a remake on the DS.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Eragon is ludicrously derivative. From the Razac/Nazgul, to the Star Wars storyline, to the Pern-esque dragon bonding (the earthsea ancient language magic thing, the bad guy is your father/the guy you think is your father actually isn't... The list goes on).
The urgals/Beastmen were quite cool, but were then thoroughly fucked over in the film to just become a different race of humans.

Despite that though, the book series somehow keeps drawing me to it, possibly just from a desire to see how it ends. Despite the fact that every time the author says it will end, he attaches another book to the series...

Ever look at W40K Space Marines beside... well... space marines?

Really? Blizzard, come on.

 

[qeinar]

Avatar, I guess. One example is that they took the Grandmother Willow from Pocahontas among other things.

well it's pretty much the plot of dances with wolves..

What was actually 1st? Cause Starcraft was released in 1998 dunno about 40k though.

1987.

And to point out the tyranid/zerg comparison with pictures...

 

[imnot]

This should explain all.

I knew I've seen those space marines from Starcraft at my local comic shop before...lol. It's especially bad when the view from a tabletop is the same camera view in Starcraft. really similar when I think about it.

Everything Gameloft has put on the app store.

I was going to say that!

Call of Duty, Halo, Starcraft, everything is on there.

 

[onikage567]

I was so disappointed to find that the new goldeneye my brother had just spent £60 on was a shameless rip off of call of duty. Terrible, terrible game.

 

[Leemaster777]

While the Asylum getting mentioned here is no shocker, I'm slightly more surprised no one has mentioned THIS:

 

[blackdwarf]

its already stated but i want to say it again: quantum theory.
normally i would never say that a game ripped off another game, but this one is just too... much. i hate it when people say that a new game is a ripp off from a generic game like god of war or something, because that one was good and now everything that resembles the 'superior' game a bit is a rip-off. i disagree with that, but quantum theroy..... that was just copied 1 on 1. system is the smae, reloading is the same and much more.

Dante's Inferno = God of War?

Also:

Oh ITV, I wonder where you got that triangular "play icon" idea from, hmmm?

I think you mean Ferngully.
