What a Rip-Off: Voltage By: PoisonRamune, the Apathetic Lizardman Rehashes have been a growing trend in the entertainment industry. Why think of a new storyline for a film, when you can just take an old TV series from the 80’s and make a movie about it? Why create a new franchise in gaming, when we can just pump out another sequel (I’m looking at you SquareEnix and Nintendo)? Why create a new game at all, when we can take a classic idea that “works” and give it a graphic face lift? Apparently, _No Company is _No Different. Standing in line at the PS3 booth for a chance to play Little Big Planet, I came across this game. Now, rather than telling you what game I think they’re flat out ripping off; let’s take a guess together. - It’s a futuristic racing game. You know, this game seems a lot like F-Zero. Especially, the N64 to current versions... So much so, I was waiting for that little rocket car to do a spin attack or lateral slide. Well, I guess while there are some game companies working to make games that are cutting edge and innovative, some game companies are doing “safe designs” and pumping out recycled ideas. |
