Overwatch/tf2 rip off?

I don't think there trying to hide it.

 

I don't think this is a rip off of overwatch because this was in beta like way before overwatch was really even announced.

 

its for mac, yay!

 

It's been in closed beta since Fall/Winter of 2015....

It's only been officially called OPEN BETA recently.

 

As I have not yet played this game, I can not say if it is a direct clone, but from game play and trailers it looks to be an independent game that combines the factors of other successful games in it's genre, every game has to do this to adapt and not become irrelevant. Every game has different development times, depending on the size of the company, and the amount of money they are able to invest in it. I couldn't find any facts to back up Newt's statement, but it wouldn't surprise me if Paladins was announced before Overwatch was, as Blizzard has much deeper pockets, and most likely more staff. I feel like the devs of Paladins took what was strong suits in both TF2 and Overwatch and combined them. Obviously valve approves of it enough to include an Engineer skin if its played through steam. In summary I feel like Paladins is a game that is a combination of multiple other games, but in its own unique. With the millions of titles that have been released throughout the past few decades, it is hard to make something completely your own, and almost every major game was called a clone of another game when it was first released

 

Too be honest, it's a rip-off that can't be stopped. Yes, the beta was out long before the Overwatch beta came out, and it's true that it's not a direct copy, but c'mon, really? That engineer is enough evidence for me. The community might get some hate, and a big Overwatch YT channel already called this game out (Channel name: Force Gaming). This is purely unoriginal, and if the creators might have taken a year or two, they could develop their very own original class-based game. But doing this is shameful, it's really how they feel about it. There could be 100% confidence that there was no stealing of the engineer skin, or there could be pangs of guilt. I'll leave it up to the greater community to decide.

Actually, if there's one game that Paladins resembles the most, it has got to be Battleborn!

 

^^
I knew about paladins before I knew about overwatch

 

Lmao, this is "Overwatch is a ripoff of tf2" again but this time Paladins is the ripoff lmao lmao lmao lmao

Oh yeah Skye/Cassie best body eks Dee

(Tbh there's absolutely no reason to trash talk a game for copying one another, It's been a common sales technique to bring in players into the community)

 

But there is gonna be a lot of anger. It's nearly inevitable. For something like this, I approve of the controversy. 1). Beacuse it's well deserved and 2). I haven't seen a good brawl in a while

 

Actually, this game was put in beta before Overwatch (although the idea for Overwatch was created before, it was not known) and at the time was apparently far different. However, once Overwatch was released, they made it similar to Overwatch due to its success. It's plainly obvious now, I mean just look at this .

Comparisons between Overwatch and TF2 are just somewhat similar but are relatively different as Overwatch is a FPS MOBA based on special abilities while TF2 is a FPS based more on movement and aim.

Paladins and Overwatch however are way too similar and it's too obvious to ignore.

 

okay

 

jesus........... when did this thread turn into a war zone?

 

Dunno, but this is what my school's Speech and Debate team should talk about
