Game Steals In-Game Enviroments from Oblivion

gameplasma.com — GamePlasma was recently tasked with the job of reviewing a game titled "Limbo of the Lost." However once one of their writers, Erik Franck, started playing it, he noticed some very familiar settings. It appears that Limbo of the Lost has blatantly taken in-game environments and textures from Oblivion.

    Tri Synergy: (Resist Arrest)

    Bethesda: THEN PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD!
  • inactive, on 06/11/2008, -3/+171well at least they didn't pass the god damn clouds off as bushes
  • Orsenfelt, on 06/11/2008, -0/+127How the hell did they think they could get away with that? It's exactly the same!
  • unicronband, on 06/11/2008, -2/+124Well they picked one of the better parts of Oblivion to steal from. At least it wasn't the NPC dialog.

    "It's you, the hero of Kvat... Stop Thief! It's all over lawbreaker. THEN PAY WITH BLOOD!"
  • dreggen, on 06/11/2008, -0/+113It's a bit crazy for a game company to think they can get away with blatantly copying other games textures. You'd think they would at least try to make them look different.
  • arcooke, on 06/12/2008, -0/+81From the TriSynergy website: "Each Level feels different in play"

    Yeah, because each level uses content stolen from a different game.
  • NaziHatinChimp, on 06/11/2008, -0/+75Yeah but those rooms are copied entirely, not just the textures.
  • Baku, on 06/11/2008, -3/+71Well you know the rules... as long as they said "Yoink!" its legal.
  • Ultimetal, on 06/11/2008, -0/+66I saw a mudcrab the other day.

    "Immersive (being there) sound effects"

    I've always wondered what immersive meant.
  • suntzusputnik, on 06/11/2008, -2/+59Looks like you're handy with a blade.
  • Ultimetal, on 06/12/2008, -1/+54Holy *****, this is hilarious.

    Look at this official trailer for the game, pay attention at 2:40: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/28891.html

    Now look at this Spawn movie trailer, pay attention at 0:24 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KMYx8lG59A&feature ...

    This game is ripping from everything.
  • petebot, on 06/11/2008, -0/+52You look like you're comfortable in heavy armor.
  • tbunreal, on 06/12/2008, -0/+49Ya, but at least it took Mario a while to get caught.
  • lagannt, on 06/12/2008, -0/+49Holy *****, that has to be worst game trailer I have ever seen...
  • Snafu7, on 06/11/2008, -1/+48Oblivion still looks better.
  • dxmnecro, on 06/11/2008, -0/+46Yeah, this really seems fishy to me. I wonder what Bethesda is going to do
  • mansellx, on 06/11/2008, -2/+48I didn't realize Oblivion was shareware.
  • Arramol, on 06/12/2008, -0/+45What's the penalty for necrophilia?
  • suntzusputnik, on 06/11/2008, -1/+45aw ***** me
  • DarkDx, on 06/12/2008, -1/+40Did you even see the screenshots?
  • Darkangel754, on 06/12/2008, -1/+40Look at the muscles on you!
  • unicronband, on 06/12/2008, -0/+36You know you can delete comments now, right?
  • AshamedAmerican, on 06/12/2008, -0/+36They should have stolen a title from another game as well.
  • MrDarkSim, on 06/11/2008, -1/+37It looks like they 'borrowed' from a few other games.

    Look through these screens:

    and this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpH8PS-DMd4&feature ... (not a rickroll)
  • laserblazer, on 06/12/2008, -1/+36Too much skooma in the 'programmers' lounge'.
  • themastersb, on 06/12/2008, -0/+32Scratchy old voice of an ill person: "Spare a coin good sir?" Turns into a dignified voice, that of a guard: "How are you today?"
  • Llanowar, on 06/12/2008, -1/+31*****!

    *reload*
  • canthraxp, on 06/12/2008, -2/+32Oh, my, *****, god:

    http://pc.gamezone.com/gamesell/screens/s29203_44. ...

    I don't know what is more disturbing:
    -They made a crappy render for the vial with extra MSpaint effects.
    -The ugly button on the edge.
    -The fact that someone still thinks that terminator is cool.
  • therusher, on 06/12/2008, -1/+29So, I saw a mudcrab the other day. Nasty little buggers...
  • Arramol, on 06/12/2008, -0/+28Wow, that trailer redefined shovelware. No wonder they're ripping stuff off.
  • Aorawn, on 06/12/2008, -0/+27Update: http://digg.com/pc_games/Bethesda_legal_team_looki ...
  • Arcan, on 06/12/2008, -0/+26You've got some nimble fingers... what have you been getting into?
  • ChiffX, on 06/12/2008, -1/+27You sir have just made my night.
  • suntzusputnik, on 06/11/2008, -7/+32Looks like you're handy with a blade.
  • JSager, on 06/12/2008, -2/+27Whoa whoa, calm down everyone. I know what's really going on here. A copy of Limbo of the Lost fell through a time portal and was discovered by Bethesda, who then stole the work before it was ever originally created. Don't worry though. Jake Gyllenhall and a magic bunny will make everything alright.
  • pbaehr, on 06/12/2008, -0/+24Not to mention "asta" instead of "hasta."
  • sho222, on 06/12/2008, -0/+24did you have the spawn trailer memorized? seriously, how did you realize those scenes were the same. Spawn came out forever ago... I'm impressed.
  • Scira, on 06/12/2008, -0/+24BY AZURA BY AZURA BY AZURA
  • yossarian24, on 06/12/2008, -1/+24Oblivion was one of my all time favorite games, I'm not sure why everyone is hating on it... the voices didn't ruin it that much...
  • br59, on 06/11/2008, -0/+23Oblivion didn't steal anything. It is a good game, unlike this Limbo crap.
  • swrostmore, on 06/12/2008, -4/+25I'm going to guess Oblivion and the other game outsourced their level art to the same third-party content provider, who decided to cut corners and is now busted.
  • Vazel, on 06/12/2008, -2/+23Why are you people digging him? This is nothing like that, these weren't just textures copied they were full background scenes.
  • mark076h, on 06/12/2008, -4/+25lets blame them for killing PC gaming!
  • ucdbunny, on 06/11/2008, -4/+24who cares, the game sucks anyways, i doubt anybody bought it
  • drachemorder, on 06/12/2008, -0/+20Yes, because as everyone knows, third party content packs always come with a portrait of the Count of Skingrad.
    Try actually looking at the screenshots next time.
  • Roland1232, on 06/12/2008, -0/+19Could just be a mission where he visits a good game to see what that's like.
  • Inflammo, on 06/12/2008, -1/+20The server is emulating an injured racehorse.
