Check it out and look at the comparisons for yourself.

Hahaha! That's amazing!! You've got to hand it to the Devs - they've recreated so much from other games so well, and it loooks like it all fits together. Kudos to them.

I don't see the resemblance at all.

But anyway, I find it hard to believe that someone actually thought that they would get away with that. There are far too many ripoffs from far too many games. Even the interview makes it sound like they knew what they were getting into.

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

I mean, the guy is focusing on "we're original" and basically saying what is exactly the opposite of the truth. I can just imagine him sitting there trying his hardest not to bust out laughing.

So either I think that this is an intentional "publicity stunt" sort of thing, or Majestic Studios has something against Tri Synergy Inc and is trying to get them in some shit. Clearly the people who did this weren't trying to get away with it, because it's absolutely blatantly obvious.

That was great, I got a good laugh outta that.

I bet'cha that they're going to get sued so far up their asses at some point.

Hasn't this game been out for a while by the way?

Yeah, you just can't steal all of those red X's.

Reminds me of practically the entire Starcraft franchise vs. Warhammer 40,000.

Yea, but starcraft kicks ass .

Not really? These people just straight ripped stuff from other games. Even just reusing the same images. It looks like the whole game was created using nothing but images and settings from other games.

Starcraft isn't an exact rip off of Warhammer 40K. There are similarities. Blizzard still created the entire game themselves, along with the story, and the abilities/names of all of the units.

This is great, I wonder if they'll get into any legal issues?

Blizzard has said that Warcraft and Starcraft have been "heavily influenced" by Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Warhammer 40,000 franchises.

There are quite a few differences, but some of it is so blatant (such as 90% of the Zerg concept) that arguing against it is pretty difficult.

Although I haven't checked on it, I remember hearing that Blizzard had to credit Games Workshop in the credits of one of the Starcraft games to avoid potential lawsuit. I don't recall if it was in SC1, Ghost (lol), or is included in SC2.

Either way, it's not even on the same level as the people in the OP. Blizzard hasn't used the same sprites and shit.

When was Warhammer 40k made?

While I know Wikipedia isn't the best source to quote, it's fairly accurate on most things.

Warhammer 40,000 was first published in 1987 and evolved pretty quickly afterwards.

The first mention of the alien lifeforms known as the Tyranids (what the zerg are "based on") was in 1990, earning their own full-fledged Codex (army rulebook) in 1993, which predates Starcraft planning development stages by 2 years and Starcraft release by 5 years.

True enough.
