i might be a little dense but how does this trailer show the game is a rip off of anything? Did I miss gameplay footage?

Good ad though I really want to play it now lol

I would have thought the guys who made LBP would be the ones to complain. I mean, damn, those are basically sackboys.

Anywho, I doubt this will sell more than the titles that they are ripping off.

Again the idea of swapping costumes to gain new abilities was not made by you, why hell FF3 had that idea incorporated ages ago (Before you say but that's different, is it really?). Does the game look bad, maybe but seriously stop whining.

True, it reminds me of LBP and even a bit of ModNation Racers. And sure, they might have borrowed the idea from there. But if we're gonna start analyzing games with stuff like "Where did they rip this from?", then 90% of the games out there are indeed a rip off of something else. Some are more obvious than others.

But if anything, it was inspired by LPB and they took the idea one step further. It seems the costumes give you different abilities here. And sorry but I don't see how this is a rip off of Lego Universe or whatever. Legos are all about building and destroying. I don't think you can do that with these Disney characters. So like someone said, if anything, the producers of LBP should be complaining, not this guy.

True, hard to see where the comparisons to the Lego games cane be found in this trailer. Also, who's to say the donning of different costumes means they're ripping off LBP? In fact, if the wearing of different costumes grants different abilities, I'm going to say that the game is actually ripping off Dynamite Headdy! For shame!

Also, fun trailer. If I was a kid, I'd want to play this game now. :)

despite the blue guy in a girls outfit it still looked male.... it bares a strong resemblance to our little sack people but they don't use weapons. Speaking of which did those monsters run from them because they are wielding guitars? Keys, guitars, paintbrushes, Are traditional weapons illegal?

A great man once said "Everything is a clone of a copy of something else." Granted he said that about three hours ago, but it's timeless wisdom none the less.

Gonna wait an see for this one....

But if it's a solid game, I'm playing as Mushu...

EDIT: Also, all artist draw inspiration from the world around. Some call it stealing, others call it creative liberty.

Wait, so they had a unique design but just used the same formula?

Lego can't stake claim to things like "adaptive difficulty" as to solely control such things would limit innovation too much

"different abilities depending on costume worn, and the ability to play through several films"

I know they aren't claiming to have invented this stuff, but it is no way plagirism to combine such elements together in a similar formula.

Didn't Final Fantasy X-2 do that too?


Honestly Disney having an original idea these days is a reason to celebrate. Copying other people is just business as usual. That, and pumping out sequels and remakes to the original. I'm looking at you Pirates of the Caribbean.
