Dungeon Hunter is one of my favorite game series for iOS and to me it doesn't look like it's trying to clone anything. It looks like a normal and original rpg to me.
Actually, it reminds me alot of the PC games Fate and Torchlight. But it certainly is different also. Other people say it is a clone of Diablo.
uhm, no, why the should they do that? If you think that some of their games are similar it might be because they are in the same game category? Yes, all FPSs usually involve shooting and guns.
What they've done is just post some cool art up. They have no idea what kind of game they want to do next, so they post up a single piece of art and some vague sentence and then will sit back and let the ideas come rolling in from the general public. Once they find an idea they like, then they'll actually start developing the game. It's been done before here.
lol, no. That's a crazy idea. Smaller developers might do that, but not Gameloft. They're probably well into their development cycle by now. On average they take 10-12 months to make each game. Impossible to tell. I guess it'll be at least another week, maybe 2 or 3.
So sick of the Gameloft debate. Here are a list of games that Are not clones. UNO Oregon Trail Avatar Iron Man Spider Man Tom Clancy HAWK TC Splinter Cell TC Rainbow Six Asphalt Series Assassin's Creed Terminator Brothers and Arms 1 & 2 Driver Shrek Kart Rahman Settlers Earthworm Jim Prince of Persia CSI Miami Blokus* Shrek Forever After Derek Jeter baseball There are probably more with some of there less popular games. There sports games cannot be considered clones because there are so many different brands of football, soccer, tennis, etc. Same goes for brain challenge games and puzzle games. So some games are clones. Who cares, those games are PART of the main reasons why iOS has established itself as a competing games system.
You make a great point. And by the way, just for accuracy's sake, it's Rayman 2, not Rahman. I'm pretty sure Rahman is something in a Middle Eastern belief system, but correct me on that part if I'm wrong.
Lol I believe most (if not all I'm not sure) of those games listed are ports, or ios versions of the game. Obviously not clones, but that's cause now gameloft doesn't have to change the name, story and graphics a little so they don't get sued.
Agreed some are ports, I'm just responding to the typical "all Gameloft does is make clones". Yes. I meant Rayman. I do agree that it is time for Gameloft to make their own original. I also view Dungeon Hunter, Let's Golf and Rogue Planet as non-clones. Some might even argue "Castle of Magic"
If Dungeon Hunter is a clone of Diablo than so is Dungeon Siege, Dungeon Explorer, Untold Legends, etc.. Just because a game is of the same type doesn't necessarily mean it is a clone. Is every jrpg a clone of Final Fantasy. No, they are different because they presented differently with different stories. Like wise with TBS, Advance Wars wasn't the first, so is that a clone. I think you get my point, every game could be considered a clone if you think about it long enough.
^ Except Gameloft makes games that are blatantly clones. Every original game has some sort of uniqueness that makes it different from everything else. Advance Wars is a TBS game that has militaristic weapons, "cartoony" artwork, and has units that begin with 10HP and does damage in intervals of 1. I can't think of any other TBS game that has those characteristics. However, Rogue Planet copies the AW series' uniqueness almost exactly (except the units begin with 100HP and does damage in intervals of 10), so there is without a doubt in my mind that Rogue Planet is a clone. Don't even get me started on Modern Combat 2...
Are you paying attention. We are not disputing that. I think everyone agrees with that. Really no way you could argue that. In my original post I just said that it is not all they make. I here you with the advance wars, I can see it now.
Clones is all they make so their latest game Rainbow six is a clone of what? How about Spiderman or Prince of persia for that matter? And the settlers is a clone of what? To say the all gameloft do is clone is quite a misinformed statement. BTW what's up with all this bashing?
Offtopic: Gosh, get your Facts first before you even mention Rogue Planet in that List. It was Published by Gameloft but developed by Agharta Studio Before calling it a simply Clone of Advance War please do me a favor and at least play the Rogue Planet - FREE Version for some Rounds since Rogue Planet has enough Content to don`t be called a Clone. Ontopic: Whatever the new Game of Gameloft might be about I am sure many of us will enjoy Playing it. Sanuku
