Also, they literally tried to licenese HZD IP from sony and when they refused (probably because they have their own horizon multiplayer in development) they just changed the name on the homework.



Its an open and shut case

They didn't invent the mechanical creatures in a once advanced world now full of overgrowth. Bamco and Ninja Theory should have a case too.

I don't think it's an issue of "theme", it's just it is almost a 1:1 clone to the point where those two screens look like they're literally the same game.
In the other examples like Uncharted and Tomb Raider, there's similar elements but a quick 1 minute trailer would immediately show you it's completely different.

Like Tomb Raider was straight up you using some chick in some lost temples fighting random wild animals and it being mostly lonely.
Contrast with Uncharted and you're some guy whose fighting mercs and shooting up the place with crazy blockbuster set pieces along the way. The "raiding" element is the story, but the execution is completely different. Hell, you can have two games that are literally using the same source material be executed differently like a sim racer or sports game e.g. NBA Live vs NBA 2k.

They aren’t suggesting this game is in any way related to Horizon though. Sony is acting like this game will confuse people into thinking it’s related.

I think you just get off on arguing dumb shyt, this is similar font, similar design, similar world, even the protagonist has similarities. You combine that with the fact that Tencent tried to license this game.

When the screenshots first dropped, every reaction on the internet was it looked like a blatant copy, yet somehow you are the only person in the entire world who doesn't see it that way. You probably do but you enjoy arguing for no reason so carry on with this gimmick.

Light of Motiram lets players befriend and raise various ‘mechanimals’ alone or with friends. You need to set up a base camp and ride tamed mechanimals as mounts, getting them to help with logging, farming, and crafting. Mechanimals can serve as ground, air, and water mounts, help in combat, and assist with resource gathering.

Tencent said Light of Motiram has hundreds of realistic survival gameplay mechanics.

Tencent Plans to Release Light of Motiram, Which Some Say Is a 'Rip-Off' of Sony’s Horizon Games, on PS5 - IGN

Tencent has announced plans to release its controversial open-world survival crafting game Light of Motiram on PS5 as well as mobile and PC.

Sounds just like the gameplay mechanics of Horizon. Just like Enslaved has a red head protagonist running around a post-apocalyptic world facing off against mechs.

In gaming companies copy visual esthetics all the time from each other and from other media.

Let he who is without sin throw the first stone.

Everyone can see it but you, but we're the blind ones.

But what about dead place and callisto protocol

As part of the 2024 pitch, Tencent showed Sony a photograph of people on the development team playing Horizon and the trophies some of them had earned (from page 19 of the lawsuit document)

Edit: some more from Tencent's pitch:

Tencent suggested that the pitched game could "maintain [Horizon's] original open world setting" but "introduce[e] Eastern aesthetics" to the Horizon Franchise, and "incorporate[e] gameplay elements such as survival and crafting, pet taming, [multiplayer game modes], etc." The pitch deck included mock-ups of Eastern-inspired designs and settings, including one of Aloy—Horizon's lead female character—standing on the Great Wall of China:

The lawsuit also states Tencent tried to get the license twice, second time was after Sony shared their concerns with them

Tencent’s defense in court will be like

@winb83 - You try too fukking hard with the contrarian shtick. The fact that they tried to license the IP, were declined, and did this shows how blatant a copy this is.
