Rip Off Of Ns?

glio · March 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">I think so!</div> Has anyone seen this NS rip off? I doubt it was developed before NS considering NS's idea came out more than a year ago. Anyways its called 'Savage' and you can read and see some screen shots of it <a href='http://www.gamezone.com/gamesell/p20342.htm' target='_blank'>here</a>.

Yes, we know. Everyone and their mother knows. Nobody thinks it's a ripoff.

Just because UT is a FPS, doesnt mean it rips off Halflife.
In the same sense, just because they use the hybrid, they arent ripping off NS (and this started around the same time as NS did).

It isnt a rip-off...its just a real time strategy first person action game....which is what NS is...that is where the similarites end...apart from guns...it has those too...but anyway, i'm not going to say anymore because this is going to be seen by MonsE at some stage...and he doesnt like these 'rip off' posts much <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

When I saw this "First Look" in my PC GAMER, I was like wow where have I seen this idea before? In the write up they call it "new" and "First Person Strategy Shooter". Right. It is First Person Real Time Shooter, get it straight. NS will blow this game out of the water, no if's, ands or but's about it.

One word, "battlezone".

Gloom
Tribes2
THERE ARE A FEW OF EM OUT THERE

dear god ppl stop spamming hate, so what they made a game with a sorta same idea SO WHAT?
Yes NS is the first one to get REALLY big, but yah know what? Wolfenstien was the first BIG FPS, so is every one ripping of it? I think not. (and if there is one before wolf3d, FINe use that one as an example)

anyways ns is a ripoff of my comic "mr stickman goes for a walk to see madam byebye" which i drew 4 years before i was born becuase i am just so ace *tbqfhyk*

Whats funny tho, is Savage's forum.

Every single time someone posts the words "Natural Selection", one of the Savage staff automatically posts how much better Savage is :S

Da_Sarge · March 2003

This reminded me of a thread that was posted not too long ago about a "Quake 3 NS rip-off". I'll say the same thing I said over there.

You guys like the RTS/FPS type of games don't you? Well, put a smile on!!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> This genre is spreading onto all sorts of different game engines, and doing so might even bring more attention to NS. It's not like RTS/FPS genre is copyrighted to the NS dev team or anything.

Savage does look really interesting to me. I was following Savage way before I'd heard of Natural Selection.

And I do hope Savage is really good. No offence, but I can't wait to get out of the Half-Life engine. My Radeon 9700 likes it not.

TommyVercetti · March 2003

Okay, now you're comparing a medieval shooter/fps with NS? That game cannot touch NSs atmosphere or balance. It's about friggin' spells and crossbows! Looks like crap to me. And if I remember correctly, Anateus Rising ($2 at your local GameStop) came out before NS or Savage and it combined elements of FPShooters and RTStrategies (Some say it's crap, but at $2 I might give it a go... but then, NS was free). Oh well, IMHO Savage is crap. Know why? I'm biased against medieval stuff, that's why!

Meh.. so hit it up to 1600x1200x32, with 6xFSAA and 16xAniso. Then turn on Truform. My 9500 loves it muchly, and is just waiting around for a Truform-friendly version of the modelpack to make the TFacs stop looking like VW Bugs. (Though the Frontiersmen, Kharaa, and Res Towers all look /beautiful/, excepting a bit of tiny ballooning here and there.. c'mon high-def/truform-friendly model pack!)

You'd be surprised. Mods do things commercial software wouldn't dream of.

(general reply): Savage is as much a ripoff as HL is a ripoff of Wolfenstien and Wolfenstien is a ripoff of Ultima. In other words, they're in the same genre and one came before the other.
