created Capcom Mobile copies 'Splosion Man... poorly
on 01-12-2011 09:35 AM
A level from Twisted Pixel's 'Splosion Man: (2009)
A level from Capcom Mobile's MaXplosion: (2011)
This is atrocious.

Also, I read that the splosion man devs actually pitched their game to capcom, but were rejected, before they went to xbox live arcade.

If your going to "borrow" ideas at least make sure the game is fun. The gameplay / design looks rather poor compared with 'Splosion Man.

Oh Capcom.
I still love you.
But i'm not so sure about your mobile division.
You're gonna carry that weight.

So very sad.
Twisted Pixel's CEO calls it "Complete Theft"

I wonder if they have some contact that is signed on submitting ideas for publishing. perhaps they have a sneaky little 'we can copy your idea' clause.

Probably capcom mobile just signing some cheap dev that enjoys copying games, and people at capcom mobile were clueless enough to let it pass.

Eh, as much as I'd like to think that, I think you're giving them far too much credit. I have a hard time believing anyone in that position would be *that* clueless.

As an apology, Capcom should let Twisted Pixel develop a Megaman game.

This goes to show that ideas aren't worth shit. The money is in the execution of the idea and Capcom dropped a big steaming load. Twisted Pixel and Capcom started with the same premise, but produced two very different games in terms of quality. If I were the guys at TP, I'd laugh my ass off at Capcom's pathetic attempt to use copied ideas and then, I'd make a mobile version of Splosion Man that puts Capcom's tour de farce to shame. I'd be laughing all the way to the bank. Though, I think theft is not accurate. This is blatant plagiarism.

Hopefully this nonsense drums up a little more publicity for Twisted Pixel, resulting in a little sales boost  |

BASTARDS!!! haha, its just so weird that they would let it slide all the way to the final product. Splosion mans been out for a few years now and its so blatant that they ripped them off, only difference is they gave the scientists guns and made the game look like crap. whats even worse though is......capcom!!! wtf?

That's just sad. You'd think that the bigger players would not have to resort to such methods.

wow. that is really obvious. The crazy thing is they didn't even have the creativity to at least TRY to do something new. He's got the same crazy sound effects and everything. And it looks way shittier too.

I can actually see this happening. Some High ups at game companies aren't as vigilant as you might think. |

This seems to happen an awful lot on the IPhone. Not always as gratuitously as this, but there are plenty of studios set up just to do mobile knockoffs of popular titles.

Yep, it's a bit of a shameless business, lots of money-grabs and ripoffs, And the true gems have to suffer, because they're sharing space with a crapton of bad software.
