OverWatch? Ripoff? Whoops!

Post by Dubstab »

So.. I was scrolling through my YouTube feeds and I found this title. It took my attention...

And.. I now realise that OverWatch has been completely ripped off: The lay-out, certain parts of maps, complete heroes ideas/looks and even the same skills!




That's a bummer. :problem:

I don't know if it is a rip off, however it has japenese letters in the trailer so i am thinking japan remade it for there liking to sell in japan. It's just an idea tho.

Yeah, the developers of the rip off completely ported most of Overwatch's characters and animations. Stating that it wasn't intentional to be marketed later but rather showing how easy it was to switch simple details and make people believe its their own game.

Just fyi, it's a Chinees company(hint hint), and it is trying to make a form of mobile Overwatch. Still pretty lazy stealing the concept and the art for an alfa/beta.

Don't see any japanese. It's all chinese in there.

Also I've seen this copy of the game all the way back when overwatch was still in closed beta.

They literally copied the game and changed up the colors. I hope Blizzard can sue. This kind of stuff pisses me off more than anything. Overwatch is a really unique game with diverse characters and it really stands out from most of the games I've played. (And I haven't even played it yet!)

Point is, Overwatch is great. This is just a shitty rip off.
