Blizzard is stealing Pokémon

Blizzard just announced Mists of Pandaria and as a part of that the game will introduce a combat system for pets. Pets can be captured, can gain levels, gain spells and can be given names. It's just like Pokémon.

someone's really desperate.

PSX995318d ago

you mad? It's a good ideas since pokemon is good.

Abriael5317d ago

So it's ok to copy every good idea around and never bring out something original. I see :D

Nederob5318d ago

I wouldn't call it desperate. It's more like dissappointed.

Gameplay mechanics and systems cannot be copyrighted, so unless they mention pokemon they're fine.

Perjoss5318d ago

I know nothing of lawsuits and all that copyright stuff, but from what I've seen and heard about the pet combat system, I think Blizzard could possibly even lose a case against Nintendo over this (Pokemon is owned by Nintendo right?).

Darkfocus5318d ago

theres already pokemon clones that play the exact same...plus all those varients like digimon and spectral something or other on ds...some disney series...none of which have been sued..

Sobari5318d ago

I'm amazed how much it copies Pokemon. Creature battling is nothing new, but they copied it down to the gym leaders. It's pretty ridiculous.

NuclearDuke5318d ago

Don't you think that is exacly the point?

Pokemon is complete. It's a simplistic fun game. Almost copied into the Warcraft universe, which has the biggest playerbase on PC.

I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.

DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.

Blizzard Wants Faster Diablo Releases and More Expansions

Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.

QuantumMechanic75d ago

All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.

VonAlbrecht75d ago

Ah, more and fast - the antithesis of careful and good

Christopher75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.

Michiel198974d ago

what fomo? everything gets reset each season and you start new characters unless you're playing on the regular servers and then you're already maxxed anway and just need to participate in the new season stuff.

Michiel198974d ago

i played only during launch and i found the ones in that battlepass to be absolute dogwater, the only ones that looked somewhat cool were the paid ones in the store and i wont bother with either. The game itself was just so hollow, there were no cool builds cause every synergy was just "x or y skills does more dmg or has this extra effect" almost no experimentation needed, couldnt give a rats ass about armor if the core of the game is boring af.
