Limbo of the Lost Dev Steals Assets From Other Games

[-T- Member]

?Limbo of the Lost (PC), the latest adventure title from the three-man team at Majestic Studios, appears to have stolen multiple assets and environments from Bethesda's two-year-old open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC, PS3, 360).?

While Oblivion arrived in 2006, Limbo of the Lost was just released this past May. GamesPlasma originally noticed the uncanny similarities between the two and has provided multiple comparison shots.

Looks like they didn't even try and rehash it, they just copied it straight over... They could have some serious legal issues on their hands now :/

1000th post :D

That is pretty blatant. Hope the company gets ****ed for it.

[The Teej]

****ing losers. Hope they get sued hardcore.

[Gamerhomie]

In that case, this should be like the best game evar, amirite? :p

[NightmarE D]

WOW

They didn't try hiding it at all really. They're going to be so screwed it's not even funny. Looks like all they did was slap signs and snow on everything. The character even looks completely out of place in all the shots. Just look at the snow on the ground. You can tell it wasn't meant to be there.

"Dude...it's too obvious we stole this area from Unreal Tournament. Throw some snow around, they'll never notice. Dude...everyone will recognize these doors and walls from Wolfenstein. Slap a sign on it, they'll never notice. Trust me"

:p

at least try to hide it better :/

The really surprising thing is that it took them 6 years to make that game. I know there's only 3 people that worked on it, but that's still a very long time - if you're stealing assets like that, you could knock a crappy game together in a matter of weeks.

Obviously, their thievery skills are about as good as their programming skills.

Seems they have a Behind the Scenes video to accompany the making of the game

[CapnJack]

Ideas that take place and are planned in pubs will hardly ever lead to anything good... Q.E.D. http://www.kentmessenger.co.uk/paper/defau...mp;searchpage=1

[Kushan]

They even nicked the music for that "insider" video, it's O Fortuna.

[Knife Party]

looks cheap :hmmm:

Wow...I can't believe they actually expected to get away with it when it is that obvious.

[Ricardo Gil]

I'm glad they did it, just because of this. I laughed really hard...

This has to be a hoax surely :huh:

[.KICK]

WTF at that video :|

They need to get sued, its a blatant rip of other games!

Did they get sued yet? :huh:

Not yet, they're still MIA. Apparently they're on vacation.

[Kushan]

You guys realise that chances are, this was all done deliberately? I mean games this ****ty get released all the time, yet everyone's focusing on this one and that'll probably quadruple sales of it.
