Stolen Assets from the German "Alarm für Cobra 11" game!

[EagleStriker13]

This game is just a ripoff of the original Cobra 11 a.k.a. Crash Time 4 Game made by SYNETIC, released on 26. November 2010 and published by "dtp entertainment".
It was released for Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3.

You can still buy this game e.g. on Amazon

But City Patrol: Police is a copy of that with a different storyline, NOT MADE BY SYNETIC and without permission and they want 3 times more money for that.


It's a shame.

We're working with guys of the old Synetic team, trying to lead the game into modern times with a huge engine upgrade. Please refer to the FAQ for further details.

now you have the game on a modern engine with graphics from 2005. The original game was way better.

So? "With guys from that team" sounds an awful lot like they just took the assets without holding the copyright. Considering the original game's name, it's extremely likely that RTL(German TV-Group(since they own multiple channels; dunno what the correct term would be) has right to that...and even if not, just being a part of the original copyright holder doesn't mean they have the rights. Unless the makers of those assets would be these people and RTL really didn't hold any(again, given how these CDU/SPD-parasites are, highly unlikely, but let's just assume that anyway) but than...why not make new assets? Should be easy enough for them. Does sound like either lies or breach by those guys/you guys.

Hello Yamino,

in fact we kept assets from the old cobra 11 games like we said, because we want to keep the spirit of those games alive in a new game. Also there was a huge fanbase of the game, so we didnt want to change it all, just bringing some new features into the game to create a mix of the popular old games with a new touch, thats it - thats all.

I've played the game a bit and I am surprised how bad it is compared to the old cobra 11 games. Even the first Cobra 11 game was more fun than this overpriced title.

This fanbase would be glad to get new maps and vehicles and not just a copied game with some extras and retextured cars and in addition pay a lot of money for this.
