Knock-offs. Homages. Clones. Copycats. Rip-offs. Call them what you will, but it’s no great secret that developers have been riding on the coattails of proven success stories since the dawn of gaming. Here’s the top 10 most brazen rip-offs of classic games.
Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.
Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.
And they claimed this place was one of the outhouses for Gamers™ and gamerGate Incels. Pfft! But look at bangerBro99's amazing display of Homo-eroticism. How far we've come.
So proud of you, bud. Now you go grab them balls and have all the fun. 👍
Outstanding!
🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh
First 3 games were great. Then 4, Gat out of Hell and the Reboot were flimsy in comparison. Aliens, demons and a weak reboot in terms of intensity made the games forgettable.
But even 3 ventured into rediculas territory with zombies and stag. Zombies in 3 to me was just a hey you know what's popular zombies let's do that
The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.
Cultured Vultures: While the number one entry might be a foregone conclusion for some, let’s see if we can surprise you with our look at every Simpsons game ranked from worst to best.
Its crazy when you look at ALL the games they made. Same with Assassins Creed, when you count in all the handheld and mobile games there are three times what you may have thought. Some of it shovelware though. I completed Simpsons Arcade recently at a local retro gaming arcade, awesome, I really felt like a 90's kid all over again, except my back was hurting!!
Epic Games has just revealed the latest game made available for free for a day on the Epic Games Store, and it's Saints Row.
Lmao wouldn't touch this mf rip off saints row if it was given to me, lmao I'm good still enjoying the real saints rows 1&2 someone should buy this ip n give it the real proper treatment
I saw it was free and it still seemed over priced for what it was and didn't bother adding it to my library
let the lesson be learnt, any more woke crap games will be sent to die, even more if they destroy a well loved franchise.
All I remember from this was I saw the news about how you can't make a well endowed female character and most of the settings don't help much with the female face. However they thought it was completely fine to let you make your character a toilet and went to great legnths to get it added. But yeah a dolled up female was out of the question.
The entirety of Gameloft should be there.
Lmao xD (classic).
A certain other game released later this year will get to go on that list.
I was agreeing with this list until I seen number 1. Saints Row is not a rip off of GTA. Only GTA fanboys and those who haven't played Saints Row think it is.
Using this site's logic, every FPS available today is a rip off of Wolfenstein 3D. Just because they are in the same Genre does not mean a game is a rip off of another. It's stupid logic to think so.
Good list, just shows what games can be created from a good idea.
