It's official: Rage is a rip-off of Fallout!


Recommended Posts

the concepts of fallout bear a lot in common with a lot of works by Phillip K. Dick, coupled with modern cinema like mad max and other stuff.

It has been said that the new setting for a lot of games will be post apocolypse, which i don't see as a bad thing as im a little tired / bored with WW2 and Space. I would like to see more shooters take on

Modern Warfare like COD4, Rainbox6 Vegas etc..

Wildwest which IMO is an incredibly untapped market

Post Apocolypse.

I think the depth of those three can allow more than one game to move into the market.

Yes there are some similarities with Fallout3 and Rage, just like there was with COD1,2,3 and brothers in arms series.

I think each game whilst being set in the same setting can provide totally different experiences. Remembering of course that Fallout3 is an RPG than wants to be FPS and Rage is an FPS than wants to be an RPG.

Im a massive massive fan of Fallout3, i love the game and play it all the time even though ive completed all of the DLC and main game, however im still really excited for Rage aswell as Fallout Vegas.

Rage is not a ripoff of Fallout. It just so happens to be set in a post-apocalyptic future. And for it to be post-apocalyptic, a cataclysmic event would have to take place. Some examples are global nuclear war, an asteroid/meteor collision, or decimation by a ruthless alien invasion force. There are only so many ways you can tell the same (or similar) story.

No kidding. Add "Judgment Day" to the list on that, I suppose. Could easily spew something like, "The keepers of time have released the death angels onto the earth, to cleanse it of its evil, and attempt to recreate life once again from the ashes of the earth. But the people of Earth won't go out without a fight..." :p

Anyhow, I don't really see this as a ripoff. They used a religious theme, in case you missed it. The Eden thing follows with the "Arks", which I found the be pretty clever actually. It's not a vault either exactly, since vaults were made to live in while these Arks seem to be for... well, sleeping since they're frozen.

I'd really like to see how the game plays out overall, as opposed to bashing it just because they have small similarities. Personally, I'd be excited if the game simply functioned on the PC properly.

Thread title?

Well its like 1 vs 100 here so I will end by saying...

The similarities are uncanny. You can't deny it, sure post apocalyptic settings are great, I'm all for it. But the similarities are uncanny.

You can all continue your decimation of me and my thread now.

So what you are saying is that Id software should sue Activision, EA, Ubisoft for making WWII first person shooters, since they were the first with wolfenstien 3d

Who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only thing bethesda can complain about is that ID quite possibly made a much better game.

Right off the bat how has Doom bitten the bullet? Sure Doom III wasn?t great but that doesn?t mean the series is dead. Personally I only ever liked Wolfenstein 3D, never played any after that so no comment there. Sure there are obviously some similarities between Fallout and Rage but you make it sound like they?re the same game. Personally I never completed Fallout 3 and never played the DLCs, It just wasn?t my type of game, but Rage looks way more appealing. Why the hell would Bethesda sue id? They?re both owned by the same company, ZeniMax. Your argument is like saying that every MMORPG is just a copy of World Of Warcraft. What we recommend you do Vault Boy is to inject yourself with cat urine, pour petroleum over yourself and strike a match because your a no good ******* fanboy and a waste of flesh ?n? blood. Here?s the recently released trailer of Rage which caused Vault Boy to blow a gasket.

Couldn't agree more.

And Fallout is a "rip-off" of Wasteland. Just let it go, it's just a game, the post-apocalyptic setting is a cliche since Mad Max and many other movies and fictions, so it's not a surprise to see similarities.

lol wtf is that neowin rocks ********.

anyway, you guys are just fanboys all the same, allbeit of ID software and their bull**** franchises.

doom 3 was a load of pup, they havent made a decent game since quake 3 lets face it.

furthermore the new wolfenstein is **** go read my first impressions in 360 forum.

what makes you think this rage bull**** will be any different, its going to be crap i tell you now, you will all get hype about it, fall for the bull**** hype just coz they made a decent shooter called doom back in the 90s and now you all get a stiffy everytime they release a trailer of something

quake 4 was poo, wolfenstein is poo, doom 3 was poo.

in short.

id software is poo and you lot are falling for their latest batch of poo, they are practically incontinent they release that much poo.

So what exactly is official about this?

A game uses a concept used in another game that that game doesn't exactly own.....woop da woop.

You're the fanboy, heh.

And that was used by others games years before.

So Bethesda Softworks should sue id?

Considering Zenimax Media owns both companies, hell, I'd say go for it, I've love to see WTF happens.
