Oblivion vs. Limbo of the Lost

I can understand taking ideas from other games, but this is just downright plagiarism.

Wow, just wow.

More Diabloe theft

Look at the border around the inventory.

This shot is ripped from Vampire the Masqurade: Bloodlines, though no comparison pic has been made yet.

You can get a larger trailer of the game from ftp://ftp.trisynergy.com/pub/LimboOf...tL-Trailer.zip where they use scene from things like Pirate of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, and Crysis for PC.

Funny quotes from the creator himself!

Quote:

Gordon: So have any more recent games influenced your current project?

Steve(Creator): The project is more influenced by film and literature rather than other games, we want the experience to be as original as possible and as such we have made a calculated effort to keep away from other games in the genre. Limbo of the Lost is an experience first and foremost, secondly wrapped up in a game media and genre.

Quote:

Gordon: During the long gestation for this game, what sort of changes have you made to bring it up to date.

Steve(Creator): All of the game (apart from initial background story and some character designs) had to be re-written, all the characters had to be created in 3D and animated, all the background scenes re-created, all the sounds, coding and music?..basically everything had to be redone or newly created for the PC version. This is not an old game that has been dressed up. This is the original concept, dusted off and re-created."

Quote:

Steve(Creator): I could talk about this project for hours but I would prefer you to play, experience and enjoy it, so I will hush up for now. But before I say a fond farewell I will tell you this much, If anyone can honestly tell me after playing the game that they did not have an enjoyable gaming experience or have a favorite character that they have met whilst playing the game, I will never mention or speak of the sequel — LIMBO of the LOST II — Temptations of Tarot.

And APPARENTLY he was trolling websites claiming to be someone else saying how great the game was, then he would reply himself thanking his original post for the wonderful comments.

He even blames this tactic on his daughter, saying she was the one leaving the comments.

Lastly, he gave a final build of the game to a website to review it, which they then posted hints to the game and he responded as the fake user on their forums complaining that they're spoiling the game!

Now for a little fun, custom boxart!

And you can own this game for only $65 USD!

Wooow. Ha ha ha that's hilarious. They came up with their own game engine, you'd think they could at least make some original environments.

This is ridiculous! Haha, thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Fascinating. I'm not on the gamer websites, so could you keep this thread updated with news as it breaks? I'd be interested to hear the feeble excuses this guy comes up with.

Ha ha ha it looks like the Limbo developers have agreed to completely cease and desist all retailing of the game. They've admitted to not realizing the correlation between Oblivion and Limbo. :thumbsup:

Wow, this is a failure of epic proportions. I can't believe those Oblivion screens, rofl.

Good to know they've decided to stop selling the game, what a blatant ripoff.

I love this thread.. This is the funniest thing that's happened in the gaming industry in a long time.

what...the...fuck?

who the hell thought that would be a good idea?

I mean...really.

geez.

They didn't come up with their own engine. They used a free engine called Wintermute. http://dead-code.org/home/

Also, the game is 2D... the screenshots are misleading because they look 3D, but they are actually still images with 3D rendered characters. That's right, they just went through a bunch of games and hit "PrtScr" a lot, and made a game out of it. Can't forget the ultra nice looking snow they added though.

They pulled the game. Here's the press release from the "shocked" distributor.

Holy god...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

This is so unbelievable flagrant... they stole everything they could get their hands on and made a game that looks like crap... but the trailer is the real kicker :p
I mean, even without this copy & paste scandal I couldn't imagine someone paying money for this

Hahahaha, the trailer is so ridiculous. If I didn't know otherwise I'd think it was a joke. They made the game look SO awful. And wow, its amazing how blatant all the thieving is, but at the same time, its not that hard to notice the difference once you look at the screens. If it looks good, its stolen, all the other shit looks like it was done in MS Paint.
