Bruh is this level of copying even legal still?

[Tamed Delirium]

Destiny guardians + generation zero/horizon zero dawn + ark?

i mean they literally ripped off the ghosts from destiny 1 to 1 lol

[Bonnie]

It won't make it. Horizon is a dead franchise already. Seeing another spin off of it would further confirm it's true when peak players on day one drops to low numbers with time.

[Call Sign: Raven]

Elden Ring is just a ripoff of Dark Souls, we all know that. Nobody got sued there. I know it's the same company, just laugh it off.

This game is skirting dangerously close to the games it is mimicking, but I don't know how copyright or patent laws work regarding animation and attack patterns.

[ImplosiveErection]

craftopia, and palworld lmao Sure, nintendo modified some patents to try to sue, but it was completely legal on release

[CrackerNoir]

Western games are riddled with DEI anyway. I for once welcome these Chinese remakes of Western gaming.

Do you really think they invested millions before checking if its legal lmao ?
Also why would you even care ? Play it if it's fun and don't if not, don't defend sony

This was mostly a joke bro lol

[Cheatyhax]

Probably only legal in China. Needs to get delisted. It’s outright theft.

Horizon series isn't an MMO. Since I am a fan of the Horizon series I am really curious how this game will be since seeing the previews. The idea of robot animals isn't copyrighted, so the idea can be repurposed. The only thing I see the same is just the robot animals as far as I've seen. Horizon doesn't have various customization mounts, various weapons other than the bow and staff, etc.

There are plenty of things in the game that appear to be an improvement or variation on what has gone before, there is less originality and effort in this forum by those calling it copycat/theft than in the game itself.

calling it copycat/theft than in the game itself.

The youth have been trained to believe copyright is absolute and permanent. They don't understand that just because JK wrote Harry Potter, that doesn't prevent you from writing your own story about a Wizard school or magic society. Copyright protects specific works. It doesn't protect concepts or ideas.

And Destiny 1 ripped the bot from Halo? So Destiny is a rip off?

I'll enver undersand kids that keep going with their "x game is a rip-of of y game!".
It's like these people going around screaming that everythings was a Fortnite or a Dark Soul copy.
Do you people never play any game? All game are inspired by other, and it's been the same since the start.

[Niniganni]

A lot of people saying everything is inspired by everything - yeah it is but there are fine lines between beng inspired and just copy stuff. Here we have the designs, the world, the music, just the whole feeling - I mean you can still do something similar and add enough own ideas to it. Maybe it's legal but it's just sad. And if sony IS involved in it - as one coment metioned - then good for them.

[Sigmuh Mail]

honestly im not buy a single soy knee game. psn account, remastering the same pig schiet games, the horrible DEI forced ideology I take my chances on Chinese tencent

[Bloodwyrm Wildheart]

Literally doesn't matter. Everything in existence is iterative, and inspired by nature.
There is no such thing as a "new idea". What's more, you can't "rip off" a genre.

[Solid Grim]

Good artists copy, Great artists steal

[kwauntum]

The - ONLY - reason I don't play Horizon Dawn is because I don't want to use a bow and arrow. I don't care who they copy. If they can improve upon things like giving a broader selection of weapons then I'm in.
