This may be old news for some, but this game has been said to have copied TF2's art direction.


From what I've seen so far, it has obviously copied the art direction, but it just looks like a salute to VALVe for their great game.

Oh and look at the HP bars..... look familiar?

 

[Stoic raptor]

It looks like they tooks some models, but the game and they way its played looks completly different.

 

[blankedboy]

Holy shit.
I oughta send this to Valve so that they can sue these dicks.

Ooh, Saxton Hale is going to give the programmers of that game a beating.

Haha Saxton Hale made a reply to them

I haven't laughed this hard in weeks! xD

Damn... now I want a breakfast steak, but I have none, and no bovines in my immediate vicinity to strangle and prepare for human consumption by means of heat.

 

[MGlBlaze]

..Art thou serious!? Were they hoping we wouldn't notice!?

I can't say much for the other two, but they clearly stole the Heavy and Engineer. They didn't even try to make them look a bit more different.

 

[Liberaliter]

That is really blatant, they're not very original are they.

the site has viruses on it. can you at least NOT post links to dangerous sites? unless my norton is overreacting?

Norton is constantly overreacting, but then again this is Saxton Hale.

Spoiler: Here is the exact URL he linked but between image tags.

[comadorcrack]

Meh, tis all gravy with me, They can rip on it all the want, maybe it'll be nice to have a portable TF2 in your pocket.

 

[macuKAT]

LOL

 

[HT_Black]

Yeah, it's a TF2 knockoff, just like Battlefield Heroes and that one Japanese whatever-it-was from last year's E3. (Does anybody remember that?) It happens, and they quickly fade into obscurity. The end.

Brilliant. Where can I get one of those? I think I need them. Now where's that red pen, I have a business partner to take care of.

H.A.V.E. is better though. It has robots and cat girls!

 

[Gerrawn]

When I read the video title I thought it was this game at first:

Spoiler

I was disappointed.

You can tell it's Korean. Tiny girls wearing little holding huge guns.

haha, i was thinking "well, to be honest, there are more differences than similarities, sure, them running really fast does remind me of that bit with scout, but it wasn't just one person running fast, it was the entire team", by the time i'd thought that, the video had reached 1minute 22 seconds, where a short-skirt wearing girl runs towards a figure with what is undeiniably a 'bonk' bat... i just laughed so hard at the irony of my last thought... it only got more and more like it too, the copy of demoman even only had 1 eye XD
aaah, i've got to love shameless rip-offs.

back on topic, isn't the majority of gaming apps for the I-phone supposed to be a rip-off. Most of it is based off flash games from sites such as Newgrounds, sure, the idea will have been unknown and probably even done in a unique way, but there are so many flash games that getting originality is hard nowadays.

wait... does Asia even have Team Fortress? if they don't, i can understand the purpose of makingthis game. why they brought it out to America too though, i don't know.
