even in the interview in the op

"if you want fuller impressions of how I think the two games are similar and different, read this."

no thanks, the beta goes public tomorrow and anyone with common sense and a ps3 who's interested in his game should try the beta then form their own impressions

1.  The whole point of this game is whether it's a rip off or something new.  If you agree this game is not new or original, then we're just arguing semantics.

2.  -_-;;  I do have common sense, and those are my personal hands on impressions of the game.

"1.  The whole point of this game is whether it's a rip off or something new. "

i honestly don't follow

 

2. you clearly took my comment the wrong way -

i was saying that anyone with common sense who is interested should instead of taking someone else's opinion's and using that to judge the game should instead experience it for themselves and form their own opinion

1.  That was a typo.  I meant the point of this topic.  My bad.

2.  Ok then.  Sorry if I misunderstood you.

@Jay-  Why not?  Darksiders was able to take the Zelda formula and make it something unique and different.  Bioshock was able to make a unique take on the FPS genre.  Sonic made platforming games while breaking off from the Mario formula.  Bayonetta followed the Devil May Cry formula but added more than enough to stand up on its own (yes I know the developer was the same).  Okami was another take on the Zelda formula with tons of originality, Power Stone was a wholly original 4 player brawler, and so on so forth.

In every single genre we have examples of a developer taking the basic formula and putting their own spin on things.  So why would this be an exception?  Nobody ever criticized Little Big Planet for being a Mario clone, did they?
