I don't see the connection between the two outside massive characters and them being TP. Space Marine reminds me more of Darksiders than Gears and even that is a stretch.

I just want to say that I AM 100% NOT one of those people who think Warhammer 40k: Space Marine (or WH40K in general) is a copy of anything. But I also cannot with good consience say that at least some parts in THIS particular video game -version were not inspired by other hit-games. But honestly back when Gears 1 was announced and shown, my first thought was "Whoa, is this a Warhammer 4K game?!." But, just because it's WH40K doesn't mean a *video game* based on it cannot possibly borrow stuff. Games Factory isn't very involved in this as far as I know.

Took this pic by myself, from Youtube-videos, so excuse me for the quality. The actual game has more in common with Dynasty Warriors, though, but at some moments its eerily similar to Gears Of War... NOT because it's a Third Person Shooter, but the way you actually maneuver and the way the HUD-menu looks:

EDIT: REMEMBER, scroll the image to the right to see the full image... On the left is Space Marine of course, on the right is the original GeoW.

[QUOTE="Birdy09"]. VALVE are making thier own games, or rather, buying up talented designers and making that designers dream design a reality. Team Fortress was a mod... TF2 owns, Portal was one girl's design and is now a premium franchise, and ofcourse not to mention Counterstrike, none of these top tier franchises would be where they are now if it wasnt for VALVE's development teams.Birdy09

That is my point - Valve needs to create its own games. Another story driven FPS (like Half-Life...or Valve could figure out there is a number after two) would be awesome.

With the exclusion of Half-Life no game they have created is their own idea. That is unfortunate, especially for such a talented studio.

It is a shame that such a great piece of literature was reduced to a clone of a game that was almost a parody of Greek religion. I enjoyed the Catherine demo, but I am not sure I want to jump into the full game right now.Zeviander

Cripes, how many "Nintendo is doomed" threads are we going to have? They'll be fine, it's a small misfire.

PCGAMER gave Dragon Age 2 a 94% not too long ago. take it with a grain of salt.
