As today I saw the remix skin of Pharah, her lower lips remind me of the stealing design of Cyborg Raiden from Metal Gear Solid series. And when I look back in details closely many Over Watch character steal design and elements from other game and animation. For example see the music in Junk Rat story and compare to the original OST theme from Coyboy Bebop. Those square elements design, Spike’s fuzzy hair, brass wind band theme style, even the smiling face on Junk Rat bomb took from Ed’s smiling face drawing in the legendary egg eating scene. From the beginning of character design to update skin patch Blizzard still try to copy other people’s idea……I wonder how the 2 will be out from the company that keep follow/copy idea of other people
Funny fact: thats what blizz made so big in the first place.
Blizzard is a master in copy something successful from other games/ titles and giving it its own spin. Every single game was created that way. From WoW (that had the origin in Warhammer and earlier MMOs) up to Overwatch (that was TF2).
So if they start doing copy-paste and giving it its spin again, Blizz could recover.
Nether one of those does anything original. Both are following existing tropes that have been around for decades and in the junkertown trailer it is satire and done totally on purpose.
Was it good? I didn’t see it, but I’m not surprised they would cancel it. Netflix cancels everything and is apparently pretty hard up for cash. My guess is that if they don’t have a huge hit, then it doesn’t get a second season. Pretty disappointing how streaming has now just become old cable channels but more expensive.
You go so deep to compare music and stuff… you could simply just find from where each hero concept come from instead, most are probably easy to find similiar characters existing before.
Game is build a lot on taking inspiration on other things, and putting it together, as its core was inspired by tf2 as well.
Hmmm so funny when people accuse im not understand how design work or im not allow to compare which points why I decide to think Blizzard copy somebody’s work. Have the example video really been watch or just over protective to Blizzard? Its far more than inspration, too many things Blizzard took of from Cowboy Bebop. I don’t know which company or how you design work but copy means copy. Just say it straight……
