    Limbo the Rip Off?

    GamePlasma.com noticed something when they were playing Limbo of the Lost, that well it looked like a couple of other games. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion & Thief: Deadly Shadows. Check it out:

    We here at GamePlasma are continually asked to review a bevy of different titles. Occasionally, we run across games from smaller developers that just blow us away with their new and creative ideas. Sometimes we even notice strange things about the games we play. This holds true especially in the case of Eric Franck, Staff Writer, and his attention to detail.

    Eric was recently assigned a game developed by Majestic Studios titled "Limbo of the Lost." At first glance, this game appears to be your typical point and click adventure again. This time, however, something seemed oddly familiar to him. Eric, being the avid PC gamer that he is, noticed that there were some similarities between Limbo of the Lost and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Read More...

    The American publisher Tri Synergy has released this press statement regarding Limbo the Lost. And has stopped selling the game entirely. Although the UK publisher G2 Games still has the game listed on their website and available for purchase here.

    Hahahahahah, these guys are awesome.

    Ok, so far this game has stolen assets from Oblivion, Thief 3, Morrowind, Diablo 2, Painkiller, Unreal, Black & White 2, Silent Hill 3, Vampire: Bloodlines, Crysis (LOL) and scenes from the movies Pirates of the Caribbean and Spawn
    Whats next?
    Holy ****, even the bloody inventory borders have been ripped from Diablo 2.
    I seriously doubt there is any original content in this game

    Lol


    This has to be a viral marketing ploy or some s*it. Noone can be that ****ing stupid and think that they can get away with it.

    EDIT: A Custom made map for UT has been ripped, even more Painkiller maps and Return To The Castle Of F*cking Wolfenstein.

    Ridiculous

    Also, Limbo Of The Lost, LOL

      Yeah, this has to be all by design. Its WAAAAYYYYY obvious and the cover looks like it was mean to be that way.

      Good catch on the LOL.

        That ain`t the real cover, just a mock-up. The real one has a book on it or some ****. I wouldn`t be suprised if that is ripped too.
        The publisher has confirmed that it`s no prank. The tits really did make a game by ripping other games. And by ripping I mean copy/paste.
