My point is that people can see through skin deep similarities. Mario and Little Big Planet are in the same genre, but people recognize that they're still very different games with very little in common. So it's not as though Nintendo fans just pounce on anything remotely similar to a Nintendo franchise. With PASBR there are a whole mess of similarities. Same control scheme? Check. Aside from a couple of minor differences, the control scheme migrated over from Smash. Even directional throws and airdodges made the transition. We still have universal double jumping and rolling as well. It's as if Mortal Kombat 5 would have included focus attacks. Aesthetics are shockingly similar considering Sony's different lineage, down to the menus and HUD. Aside from the method by which you KO opponents, what are the differences between Smash Bros Battle Royale and Smash? |
Control schemes, menus, aesthetics, etc are all superficial similarities imo. It's like saying Battlefield is a clone of Call of Duty. Or that Forza is a clone of Gran Turismo. Sure they look very similar, and the controls are similar, but it's not until you play it do you notice how differently the games actually are.
I haven't really been keeping up with the game, so I can't say how it's different. From what I've seen, it is similar, but to call it a clone is premature at this point.
