Rip-off? Why is no one talking about this

[Sundance Kid]

The game is good but I can hardly give it merit for that when it's a near beat-for-beat copy of Overwatch. Aesthetics, character mechanics, UI, i think even some voice actors.

There's being inspired, then there's meticulously looking at every aspect of something and taking it, perhaps amending the way it sounds or looks the tiniest bit.

Does this bother no one?

you must be new to the internet and gaming every game ever made is a copy of another game same goes with all the content made in the internet

Rest assured... it is talked about ALOT. Search through the forums, and you see a ton of it.

Nah, I play both games. They are pretty different, though in the same genre.

Also, several of the voice actors for Overwatch are prolific in their work and have done many different games/anime/podcasts over the years. That is, frankly and as politly as I can point out, the most stupid and idiotic point to try to make to try and say that one game is a copy of the other game.

people forget that overwatch copied team fortress

[Mr. 101]

It's talked about all the time, but many people are still sore about Overwatch 2 being greedy, so it's not as big an issue as it should be.

Blizzard doesn't hold the copyright to basic fantasy concepts.

Overwatch was influenced by TF2 yes but they do not look or play like eachother at all. You can show clips of Marvel Rivals and Overwatch side by side and someone familiar with neither would not be able to tell them apart, assuming it's the same game or a sequel.

I'd like to you to point to another game that has shamelessly copied another to this degree AND has been as successful.

overwatch copied garden warfare so they deserved to have same fate. (rivals is way better than overwatch by the way)

Subtlety/nuance is lost in this one. It seems you are pro monopolists. Companies monopolizing gaming mechanics and artstyle ,etc. is good. If they really infringed on Blizzard's IP then they'll be sued. And even then wait for the final rulings. Chances are Blizzard will fail to sue them like how Nintendo can only sue Palworld for insignificant infringements.

I am definitely not pro-monopoly, I'm pro-integrity. I'm not saying they should be sued. I'm saying this is shameless and uncreative.

NOPE. It doesn't bother anyone because OverWatch 1 in the first 2 years of that game was it's peak and this game copied that exactly.

Bro ow copied tf2 nobody gives a ♥♥♥♥ about copying if the game is fun to play and not anticonsumer.

The copying to me is a plus i have 2000 hours in overwatch betwen my blizard and steam act now i can immediately pick up this game and be proficant with multipule characters and know how to counter certain playstyles but i still get to learn how to deal with the completely new characters like Loki for instance.

It is new enough while giving me stuff to learn while reducing my learning curve and brought in new players i can stomp with my knowlege.

[Twisty]

If you really want to get into it Overwatch is a Rip-off of Paladins since Paladins started production in 2012 whereas OW started in 2013.
WHile the release dates are different, one can't help but assume Blizzard copied Paladins hardcore when it comes to characters, playstyle, movement, mechanics, etc

What's wrong with taking the best from different games?
Overwatch left the niche of entertaining hero pvp, Marvel Rivals took it.
