Mafia from GTA

Uncharted 2 is kind of a Tomb Raider/ Gears of War hybrid. Does that count?

[QUOTE="HailedJohnDman"]lbp from marioMogotoo

ok, i dont mean that in a bad way, but at its core lbp is a complex mario game with puzzles inteasd of just jumping around

Starcraft was based on Warhammer 40k no?

[QUOTE="Mogotoo"][QUOTE="HailedJohnDman"]lbp from marioHailedJohnDman

hello system wars

I would have to say Dante's Inferno, obvious rip off of God of War.

Another one is Darksiders...Legend of Zelda would be the 'inspiration' there.

I have to say though, its all about putting a fresh spin on something that has already been done. That is what makes this type of game development ok imo.

Starcraft was based on Warhammer 40k no?

Gxgear

yes, but they turned out quite differently, sc turned into an action packed sci fi filled with space cowboys, warhhammer on d other hand went into very deep history and complex lores with various dilemmas, but both games r fun tho

TMNT: Tournament fighters always struck me as very similar to Street Fighter II, but it was great.

Uncharted game are like a cross between Tomb Raider and Gears of War. Star Wars Battlefront is pretty Battlefield star wars edition. Spider-Man 2 took the GTA's open world style.

Dead Space- System Shock

I guess Banjo Kazooie was kind of a rip off of Mario 64. However, I still enjoyed Banjo Kazooie alot more than mario 64 lol. That game brings back so many memories....

Saint's Row, better than GTA this gen imo.locopatho

i like the saints row series too. but it seems V wants saints row to get out of gta's shadows. I wonder if that will be the best?
