Nothing happened

nothing happened

zelda invented trees and land

Nintendo invented cel shading
Nintendo invented open world mechanics
Nintendo invented running mechanics
Nintendo invented riding a horse mechanics
Nintendo invented breakable items

Current Nintendo would have actually sued Gensin back then.

Damn genshin really took that much "inspiration"? I don't play gachas.

honestly, Genshin came out on top for me

Yeah, imagine not inventing something, then patenting it as your own. Crazy, right?

copyright is gay anyway.
Free the creativity.

Genshin really did borrow too much from Zelda. The problem wasn't even the borrowing, it was the dismissive attitude when asked if Zelda had a big influence on the game. They even said that Zelda had nothing to do with the game's development, completely contradicting themselves.

gameinformer.com/2020/09/29/genshin-impact-devs-say-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-was-a-big-inspiration-but-their-game-is

this, there's nothing wrong with being inspired by something, but lying and pretending you weren't is silly. It's like when Iga tries to claim SotN has no Super Metroid inspiration, despite it being obvious that half the dev team were probably super metroid fans.

They even said that Zelda had nothing to do with the game's development, completely contradicting themselves.

They would actually b right.

Zelda had fuckall to o with it, it' all sceneries from China turned into digital.

It's difficult to take the idea of anything copying Zelda botw seriously
Botw was Nintendo flipping the table and removing everything good and bad about traditional Zelda game design e.g. complex atmospheric dungeons and replacing it all with generic current year open world design
You can rip off the old Zeldas but you really can't rip off the switch games

Did you listen to the soundtrack?

There are several motifs, melodies and chords taken directly from the Zelda franchise. Monstadt's themes being the most obvious.

I remember it looking like an asset rip at one point.

With accusations that Genshin is a 'carbon copy' of the hit Nintendo game, the devs want fans to know that the visual stylization does not dictate the game's overall appeal.

The studio added, "That said, it is important to note that once you actually pick up the game, you will find the experience of Genshin Impact to be very different from that of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Genshin Impact features a fully original story and characters, and the core gameplay revolves around assembling a party of multiple characters and engaging in a combat system based on interactions between different elements.

Seems fair enough.

Did you listen to the soundtrack?

Nope.

Dont worry they are back at getting raped by nintendo

Fair in the sense it's equal, not fair in the sense it's equitable. Just because it's half-original/half-influenced, doesn't mean the half that's influenced weighs less than the other.

Why does the u.s government protect Nintendo so much?

Nintendo invented some IP's that prove they don't understand how suing and IP laws function.

I mean it was, but Nintendo couldn't do anything. Mihoyo is a chinese company and all. They don't give a shit about copyright law.
Pocketpair was a japanese company, so that's why they could sue.

Man, Genshinfags still can't get over it 5 years later?
Shouldn't you be in a Wuthering Waves thread getting mad they plagiarized Genshin characters because they used similar colors?

Nintendo are a bunch of pussy faggots that only go after little developers

The funny thing is that now GE is a game interesting and with more soul that BotW and especially TotK.

it's also, nothing genshin copied is related to copyright. this isn't like Palworld where they filled the game with "legally distinct" copies of pokemon to spit in nintendo's face. Genshin took the visual and gameplay style of BotW, and made something new from it. the similarities are undeniable, but that's not really a bad thing

except that Nintendo sued on patents, not trademark

Nothing outside Mondstadt looks anything like Breath of the Wild, which is why nothing happened after the first month of Genshin.

the difference is that genshin is complete garbage to anybody whos even tried breath of the wild for real. palworld is another story.

Nintendo can't Patent IRL China.
But why the fuck would you want them to anyway. That's just insane.

Palworld pissed nintendo off by flying to close to the sun with their copies, the patent lawsuits are just the vector of attack they had available to punish Palworld for "violating the bro code" basically. it's not about patents or copyright, it's about Japanese old guard putting an upstart in their place for their lack of manners.

This, Mondstadt its just your starting classic RPG area western fantasy inspired

lack of manners

rick and morty did an unfunny straight up clone called pocket mortys and nintendo didnt knock on their door. its classic sinophobia.

Rick and Morty don't live down the street from Nintendo. If Pocket Pair wasn't a japanese company they'd never have gotten sued.

The Desert of Sumeru btfo'd all the "dungeons" in BotW/TotK.

SotN was inspired by Zelda though

it's truly a shame all the effort that goes into genshin that is completely wasted on the fact that it's a gacha game with shitty chore based gameplay.

nah the gliding and climbing mechanics are all ripped straight from BOTW, unashamedly so. I'm not saying it's wrong but it's very very obvious if you've played both games

Sure Iga, sure. this is why nobody should take directors seriously, the guys actually making the game probably had 10 SNES's in the break room with super metroid in them, but since the guy in charge only played Zelda it was all "inspired by Zelda".
Metroid and Zelda are the same formula to begin with, one's just sidescroller and the other is top down.

The US just rejected like 80+ new patents they tried to file, it's Japan that is protecting Nintendo.

its not just about pocket pair, its that the game is made using unreal engine, made by epic games, funded by tencent. thats what they are afraid of. sony promoting it is the cherry on the top.

Nintendo wouldn't challenge their trade relationship with China. The Palworld devs on the other hand, are Japanese, so Nintendo has no reason to not to ruin them.

SotN was inspired by Simon's Quest.

name 1 (three) big budget gacha games on steam where i don't need to make an account
only found infinity nikki so far

shitty chore based gameplay

that's not that different from my time with botw...

Mondstadt is better than anything in breath of the wild anyway. Not a single interesting town or settlement in botw, all written off with muh apocalypse. tears of the kingdom manages to make it worse with lookout landing (lol).

What this teaches everyone is that China is the future of game development, since it's own government will protect their creators from the threats of cuck lawyers claiming they own every human concept dating back to ancient egyptians while everyone else is paying millions in lawyer taxes to prove they invented the concept of flying.

The palworld thing seals it: If it were a Chinese company, Nintendo wouldn't dare even look at them crosseyed. All Nintendo, Lawyers, and the western form of corporatism and legal might has taught everyone is that a strongman is needed to prevent corporate tyranny. Because clearly, nobody is going to defend the average joe or the small-time creator from the Feudal Rule of the largest monetary hegemony to have ever existed.

And it could have been prevented, too. If just one person put their foot down over such retarded shit like Minigames in loading screens, Flying in video games, Square Rectangles made of glass with sanded edges, gliding on a parachute, printing over a network.

There's only been one leader on Earth who has ever put their foot down and demanded nobody wages war against them or their kin but Anon Babble is too chickenshit to admit it. The worst part: Anon Babble's corporate bootlickers will stay China 'stole' these things because they don't recognize the legitimacy of cuck IP law claiming modern people invented printing things to paper, drawing things in cels, or falling with a parachute.

Too based,,,t's simply over.

China can steal all they want, it won't make their games any better

Oh yeah? too fucking bad. What are you going to do about it? Sue China?

This ain't pocket pair, another Japanese company, where you can claim Nintendo invented gliders and flying on birds, two concepts that have been in fiction for literally hundreds of years. This is a real company, in a real country, with real leaders.

The Desert of Sumeru btfo'd all the "dungeons" in BotW/TotK.

this isn't exactly fair since nintendo created dungeons that were engineering marvels in the old 3d zelda games then tossed it all in the trash in favor of open world slop with 100+ busywork shrines. random caves in elden ring might have better design than botw "dungeons".

meanwhile nintendo is content with using toby fox to compose their entire recent pokemon game soundtrack despite undertale being a blatant ripoff of the mother series. its only a problem if you're not helping nintendo create shitty made games.

I remember the memes of Link (I fucking wrote Zelda at first, jesus) with a pokerface being followed around and being imitated by that blond dude, it was kinda funny to see.
Kinda wish tendies had done that @FBI @NINTENDO @NINTENDO_AMERICA shit back then as well for extra laughs.

you joke but I can absolutely bet that their lawyers were discussing this shit seriously. I mean they're currently suing Palworld because Nintendo apparently invented riding a dragon thing around

so true bestie youtube.com/watch?v=OjNpRbNdR7E

They have no power over China.

it's not a problem with the west, the US rejected most of nintendo's patents. it's solely a problem with japan (which is where they are suing palworld). we are talking about a country where people flew into a rage over a vtuber for unknowing playing a pirated copy of pokemon emerald.

Nothing happened because Nintendo can't pull their yakuza shit on a Chinese company the same way they're doing it to Palworld. I'd love to see them try it though, it'd be hilarious.

In translation:

We admit, China can't come up with an original game concept.

We admit, China has to steal both creativity and outsource game developers to europe or the third world (India.)

In the next cuckpost by Xi's advocate...

Chinese company stealing and lying about it, how could this be.

It's over Anon. China already won.

Can steal

That's where you're wrong, my uninitiated corporate shill. Nothing about any of these concepts is unique. Nintendo didn't invent

Flying on a glider

Coloring things in cel shade

Things breaking when you hit something with them

Running

Riding on a horse

Doing all of the above in an open world

So why should China recognize their illegitimate cuck IP claims? would you bend over for your neighbor and hand him the keys to your car if he claimed he invented it? Nintendo stole every single concept in Zelda from western fiction and put them into a video game, even Link as a character isn't an original creation.

The real problem is that no leader, corporate, political, consumer, have the balls to call it out as being obvious lifting of ideas that are hundreds of years old. This invalidates the actual purpose of IP law in the first place: To protect the average person from robber barons claiming they own everything because they have the largest private army. They've just replaced their private army with lawyers appealing to men in long black dresses on the bench who can apparently claim Nintendo invented flying through the air on a bird.

Enjoy the future, remember who sold it to you.

Sounds like it lost cuz I'm not playing their janky ass clones when I can afford the original unlike (you)s.

still no skip button

I wonder how much money they're losing out by not letting people skip 2000 hours worth of dialogue.

Jenshin has too much cunny, it can't lose.

the US rejected most of nintendo's patents.

Not good enough, the ones that got through are equally illegitimate. Grabbing onto a bird's talons to fly was a thing in a Harry Potter book decades ago and a thing in The Hobbit half a century ago. Yet, Some nigger lawyer sucking nintendo's penis just let Nintendo patent that in the US after re-review because clearly there is no sanity remaining in IP law.

Beyond Good and Evil was better than any Zelda game and a better open world than Breath of the Wild. It managed this with a nonhuwite female protagonist too.

this probably won't have any effect, elden ring nightrein will release and nintendo won't do shit.

Gacha shit doesn't count as a video game gambling addict.

nothing. because they only target whales who pull instantly and get bored of the game instantly. anyone actually playing the game is just dust to them.

as for the chinese, they have a lucrative account trading market that isn't really outlawed over there, so they don't care about no skip. its similar to how the japanese don't have any real law regarding rmt and leave it to companies on how to handle it.

doesn't count

It counts for mot of us.

While the 2 of us are shitposting right now, my gam is charging stamina for me, while your game is dead.
