Genshin Impact Studio Head Addresses Early Development Woes, Zelda Plagiarism Accusations

Genshin Impact studio head Liu Wei addresses the game's early development troubles and accusations of plagiarism.

VersusDMC284d ago

Ha!! I remember the plagiarism acusations and the guy who smashed a PS4 in protest.

I haven't played either...so was it a copy mechanics wise or does the art style just look similar?

They definitely laughed all the way to the bank though...as genshin made 1.5 billion last year.

They debuted the game with the climbing mechanics and stamina wheel that looked straight out of botw lol. Couple that with it being Chinese made, everyone was screaming knock off back then.

FinalFantasyFanatic284d ago

A lot of games were borrowing BotW mechanics shortly after release (some of those games didn't even release), I do remember the uproar about Genshin though.

Personally I like Star Rail more, not that Genshin Impact isn't enjoyable.

Much more fun to play than Zelda , which is boring asf.

TriniOutsider284d ago

This game seems to have a lot of stolen assets from other games. I was saying that from day one.

Alasi284d ago

I was legit thinking about that game the other day.

I’m more interested in what else he said.

It will be something like "we erased gameplay all together it's just a movie now"

purple1011d 4h ago

every time naughty dog make a game, you play it and get the feeling "this is not possible'

from the boulder running towards you in crash, on ps1,
to the massive open world of jak and daxter, on ps2,
to the QuickTime events sequences of uncharted on ps3/4

and now we will see what they do with ps5,

Press X for doubt at "PS5"

Arrogant asshole who sniffs his own farts bigs up next game…sounds like typical PR to me

You know what I find interesting? Almost every site reporting this as the main title where the REAL interesting bit of the interview is Neil praising AI and saying it will be used to help push story, characters, dialogue and more.

It’s super shitty to big up AI especially when it comes to story telling and other creative elements.

Just because someone says this type of stuff, it doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to be good news.

You can say this about microtransactions. MXTs revolutionised the gaming industry.

Geez how full of themselves are these guys.

Einhander19721d 1h ago

He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.

CrimsonWing691d 1h ago

I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
