Only 6% of people actually said "no" to the question of whether it's a clone, the rest mostly either just say that it is a clone, or they admit that it's a clone but they don't care.


I'm more disappointed with the amount of "I'm disgusted"-votes. We should all be disgusted by this move and commit public mass sudoku to show Sony how angry we are!

Seems like this "Gray" thing might catch on.

As a massive (it's one of my favorite games) fan of the super smash bros franchise, I am happy to have another game in the similar vein. Nothing more nothing less. I think it's silly (read:stupid) that someone would be upset or even angry at something like this. It's a video game people, this is pretty trivial (not saying it isn't fun of course!) stuff. The fact that some people have developed such a sense of loyalty to an openly-traded company with a fiduciary responsibility to make money that they'll get upset when a game similar (read:clone) to one of theirs is released is nothing short of depressing.

Sometime ago I saw a quote that is relevant: "Love the games not the companies; They love your money, not you"

This is so true. The only reason why it's touchy in the world of video games is that the medium strives to be an art form.

Of course in a capitalistic world rip-offs are allowed and welcome (like in the Pepse vs Coke scenario), but in the world of art it's less acceptable.

I think that's why the fan in us is disgusted, but the gamer in us is thrilled, hence why some thought I was schizophrenic

 

I'm really glad we talked about this because there are reasons why we're all right and wrong at the same time, and that's why forums are there to share. And you're right, companies don't love us, but some care about what we want because that drives their business, others are more draconian. So I'm glad Sony listened to their fans in making PABR, it's the right direction for the industry. I'm also glad the game will look so much like smash because I love that game. But ultimately, I'm hoping for more uniqueness and less idea stealing from these companies as the industry matures, otherwise it's not a good sign for the art-form in general I find.

A dualistic view, but I'm honestly torn. Ultimately I'm buying this game no doubt, it looks awesome, but inside of me part of me is not happy about the situation. I'll get over it, but I and others do need to express this feeling and talk about it

The main thing is why in the world would you just buy a PS3 for this one game, a game that would already be on a Nintendo System anyway. It seems like a dumb decision especially when you could've spent that money on something else. *cough* Wii U *cough*



^Pie, the WiiU is 6 months away, and I can't tell you how many hours I've dedicated to Smash, I love that game. So a game like smash would yes make me buy a console, on top of the fact that I wanted Uncharted and Bioshock anyways, so now I have everything I want

@happydolphin So it was more like a push forward to purchasing one.



Read my original story on Fictionpress (Shinigami Twin): http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2996503/1/Shinigami-Twin 

As well as my other one (Hell's Punishment): http://www.fictionpress.com/s/3085054/1/Hell-s-Punishment

Exactly, Pokemonbrawlvg. Now I have no reason not to own one.

Lol, PS3 is not like that other console. It has lots of games!

What other console. 

 

Also, I was thinking he only bought it because of that one game, not also for Uncharted and Bioshock. So he bought it for only three games.

pezus, they all have lots of games, lots of games we don't want.

The 10 games I got for my PS3 are probably the only games I'm gonna buy, with then probably LBP and Demon Souls series, and maybe some FF love in time.

But to say the Wii has no games is a lie. It has lots of games someone would want to buy, but just not the total of what one would want. That's why I also now needed a PS3, apart from playing on my roomie's Wii.

When I get the WiiU, I'll really have everything I need, as well as the ability to download GC/Wii/WiiU retail software (I'm almost sure), so I'll pick up on some missed titles like Prime trilogy and some Cube games I don't own anymore.

I'm also going to get a new video card for my PC so I can get back to SCII and possibly try out Diablo 3.

The only game I feel I'm really missing out on is the Halo series, but I'm not too upset about it, being a minimalist I don't like owning too much hardware.

Thank God you're not turning totally evil.
