Korean PC Game Rips-Off Team Fortress 2

The name of this game is H.A.V.E. Online. Lol, anyone else seeing it?

instead of dude its hot chicks

 

Lol, Moo.

This kinda reminds me of Counter - Strike for kids

 

Not with those mini skirts

 

that's actually pretty cool lol

 

Wow I didn't expect it to be a completely blatant rip off haha. It looks like they took all the 'meet the ____' trailers, replaced the characters and redid the setting.

Gameplay looks completely different though (other than the classes).

 

i have 2 humorous responses to this game:

hmmm... it looks like a odd mix between toy story, team fortress two, and a hentai movie.

and:

oh.... what kind of person does it take to own hundreds of scantily clad action figures and the ocassional super ugly robot?

 

There are plenty of maps in tf2 where the players are toy size, i love those maps

 

Wow. I did not expect that.

 

reminds me of Army Men for N64.

 

awesome game!

 

lol hah! THAT brings back memories didnt the company that make that series go bankrupt? (3DO)

 

I was just about to say that. The kitchen map was a blast to play

 

This is definitely a plain rip-off of Team Fortress 2. Somehow the third-person action reminds me of Quake 3 Arena. Maybe it's the crosshair.

But it looks pretty fun. Next thing you know more people are going to ruin it in the future, but let's not focus on that right now.

 

I don't like to see women getting hurt/killed even in a cartoon style game , makes me cringe, maybe i am too protective.

 

Tinder .....its time you let Padme go.....

 

The game looks interesting, yet odd at the same time, reminds me of those figurine games one would play as a kid... Hah.

I do not really think that it is meant to be a Team Fortress 2 Rip-Off, but rather, that the developers took inspiration on Team Fortress 2, who am I to judge, though? The truth lies in the eye of the beholder.

I might play this game if it ever makes it to America, it looks somewhat more appealing than Team Fortress 2 to me, Toy Massacre is always fun...

 

I thought it wasnt that great untill the soldier rip off slipped on that grenade, so unexpected lol.

 

Yea this does remind me of TF2 but hotter... Anyways when does this game comes out I want to try it.

 

"H.A.V.E. is currently in beta, and its publisher SK iMedia has not made a comment about the Team Fortress 2 likeness."

So its in Beta no word on release though.

 

Great 3D model. I like it has emotion on their faces. However, it's look like nothing new in game play.

 

It's as different from TF2 as TF2 is from any other game in the genre....maybe they should have used different music for the video though.

I'd play it.

 

It doesn't look that much like TF2. It's more like Army Men like someone else noted. And if that's the case then TF2 is a ripoff of Army Men, an 11 year old game!

man, that looks awesoem... O_O!!

 

i find the style of the video to rip off tf2 more than the game. (the music and the class showcasing)

 

it's Team Fortress 2 fine tuned for the Asian community.

 

I think the only thing it's missing are the medic and engineer.

 

...seriously? Can't they think up their own ideas for once!?!?

 

Like all this hasn't already been done before guys. Give me a break.

 

Lies. It needs tentacles.

 

It looks nothing like TF2 (which incidentally is no different than every other FPS game out there.)

This game actually looks EXACTLY like a higher-quality version of the Korean game GunZ Online, which came out in 2003, English version in 2005 (many years before TF2 came out.)

Here's a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beeFNReCoyY

 

Hopefully this will help some doubters see similaritites....ALSO the Korean community is actually really upset about this game because they feel that this is a disgrace to all other Korean made games.

 

i lol'd at this because all the korean games i have played sucked. (granted they are all ftp mmo's) this game cant really be much worse.

 

I mean, how far do you take this? You can find similarities in many games. I don't care either way because I don't really play TF2 (on occasion) or any Korean games. But I've played and seen so many similar games, including TF2, which IMHO is nothing original or special, it's not fair to call it a TF2 knockoff.

 

I personally find the hot loli girl with the mini gun more appealing than our traditional heavy

 

lol maybe we can make that girl the new medic?

 

I consider any FPS shooter made today to be a rip off of Wolfenstein 3D

 

Are you trying to prove to us that they are totally dissimilar lol it appears thats what you are doing.

Sorry to say but they still don't look alike.

I highly doubt that tbh.

Also check out these images I quickly took of each. Guess which one looks like which.

This game vs Gunz

I'm no expert, but the only Korean games I've played in the past were Ragnarok Online, Gunz, and Gunbound. All of them were pretty fun honestly speaking. Most of the fun games are in Korean, since I don't know any Korean. They have television networks dedicated to gaming. So there's a huge language limitation in the games available that we are able to play (most of them are free as were the ones I mentioned earlier, which clearly leads to problems financially.) I haven't played any games in years though.

 

I believe the genius who came up with the AK47 in a first person shooter deserves discretion over all copyright infringement litigation. Just notice how many biters there are. Peace be with you.

 

Quote from Kotaku:

H.A.V.E. Online is being called "an embarrassment" to the Korean game industry.
Last week, we reported that its publisher SK iMedia has not commented about the likeness. Well, the company finally has made a statement. Korean web portal DC News did a phone interview with the publisher. "Debating (as to if it's a rip off or not) is like having blind men touching an elephant and describing what it looks like," said SK iMedia. "We will reveal the gameplay soon. Other than that, we have no comment at this time."

 

I dont see the big deal, its not like we can always come up with new things, so at times you just have to improve or change old ones.

Its not like you see bounty picking a fight with charmin saying they had designs on a toilet paper rolls first and they copied them.

Just let the best man win

I actually like how this looks, reminds me of TF2 and some of the mod maps I used to play for another game, but I forget what game that was.

Somebody said they have "toy" maps for TF2 where everything is large? I totally gotta see those, any map names?

 

They're being called an embarassment by whom? That's some highly biased language there. You'd be clearly cited for bias if this was American news. Imagine a newspaper saying "Barack Obama is being called a Muslim terrorist" and leaving it like that for its readers.

Yes the producers have the right framing in mind.

Let's put it this way, why isn't there a debate on whether or not the publishers are child molesting terrorists??? Think about it.

In the end, the pictures you posted don't look a thing like TF2 in contrast to what I posted. Cool intro to the game though, hope there's an english version coming out.

 

Kotaku is stating this. I think they are a pretty credible source. Are you Korean? Because you seem to be getting really offended over this.

 

I find it sickening that it took 9 years to create an amazing game like TF2 which is extremely fun and has unique classes that suit everyone's needs.

And then some other company comes-steals all the ideas and aspects of the game that make it unique and make a cheap ropoff of it in a year to make some money.

But that is just my opinion.

 

Took 9 years to create TF2? I don't think so. It may have been released 9 years after the original TF. Again, look at the similarities of TF2 to Army Men if you want to make comparisons.

 

This looks like heaps of fun!

 

in 1998 the game was announced and they started working on it. In 1999 it was revealed at E3(it was obviously very different than it is today). It was released in 2007

AKA 9 years.

 

Cloud is right lol. If im not mistaken the game was originally 3D and then all of a sudden they changed there mind and went to that cel-shaded style.

 

Heh, this is no different from Counter Strike Online! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAKSf1a_6nY I do not understand why they just can't play regular CSS? Why do they need their own customized version?

 

You said the 'Korean community is actually upset' about this. I doubt it, if I can't even see similarities as an objective observer.

I'm not Korean (see name), just stating my opinions. You seem to be offended actually that people aren't agreeing with you, since you've been posting so much. I'm just having a good time refuting some of the claims by posting evidence. Do You have some sort of bias or stake in this? You posted pictures that have no similarities and you're eagerly trying to convince everyone they're similar, unconvincingly.

True. Besides the fact that the game play looks nothing like each other (TF2 vs this game), FPS games are extremely monotonous to say the least.
