Adventure Game Rips Off UT2004, Other Titles

[hal]

Limbo of the Lost from Tri Synergy and Majestic Studios is fast becoming a lawsuit target. Thanks to Game Plasma for noticing the blatant lifting of entire Oblivion environments, some further scrutiny has revealed apparent asset theft from Unreal Tournament 2004, Thief, and more. Below are a pair of shots depicting theft of assets from an Unreal Tournament 2004 custom level - DM-Aristocracy.

This is gonna be one hell of a mess... And all the custom map makers that will bring this up.

OH this is just pure sex right here

"We're seeing this for the first time," the representative emphasized. "We had no idea any of this was going on."

As said by a Tri Synergy "representative". What a load of crock. Bring on the lawsuits

naughty naughty ... i really liked that level

Ok so how do I order this game before it is removed from shelves ?

 

[Grobut]

That certainly looks A LOT like DM-Aristocracy, i wonder if they just stole the idea, or if they actually ripped the assets..

 

[Darkdrium]

Am I the only one for whom Game Plasma takes hours to load?

 

[Vitamin-Carrot]

I cant get into it either

I'm sure it's getting hammered - virtually every gaming site is linking to it now.

 

[Darkdrium]

Bah it's probably being hit by all the other news sites now that Gamespot has published something on it.

EDIT: lol ^

 

[Kharnellius]

Haha, this has got to be a spoof or something!

if not...

No, it's a real game, a very crappy one at that. The developers (if you can call them that) lifted art/screenshots from not only UT2004 (multiple maps), but also Painkiller, Oblivion, Morrowind, Diablo, Silent Hill, Thief, and possibly Black & White 2.

I wonder what the original content in the game looks like.

 

[Angel_Mapper]

That is such an epic fail that it wraps around like a Mobius strip to win. Thanks for the lulz Majestic!

Of course we all conveniently 'forget' when Id-software and Epic were accused of ripping of assets when in reality they had merely used the same texture-source.
What if someone did the same with bigger assets like tables, rooms, etc ?
Innocent until proven guilty I say.
A mere picture is not proof that one stole from the other.
What if Bethseda & co stole from that game ?
Who has the real original ? Where is the proof for that ?

The publisher has already pulled the game, JaFO. It's not a case of jumping to conclusions or 'forgetting' anything.

From at least 5 different games though?

If you still think the same after visiting that link, then I recommend you get your eyes checked ASAP.
