When is it ripping something off vs paying homage to it?

Let's be honest you haven't played either of these two games. Or probably many games at all.

they should have ripped some pornhwa models to add to the game too

These animations aren't remotely the same. The idea of attacking diagonally or looking behind you arent exclusive properties of Castlevania

Oh no! They copied perfection!
Damnit! I hate it when people copy good shit that we wish would come back!
Then I can't bitch that they don't make em like they used to!

twitter has effectively replaced 4chan
>>
>>719913072
when the originator is no longer producing content that uses it.
if there was a contemporary castlevania game that had alucard's gameplay, then it would be a ripoff.
>>
>>719913392
So anything that uses inspiration from a different source is a ripoff? Nah, you just stupid
>>
>>719913160
Starting your run looking back just isn't something common in video games nor is normal irl behavior.

>>719912876
Idiots won't understand why this is a rip off, however >>719913171 is 100% right. Why bitch?

>>719912876
The dev had the following to say
>dude, never heard of that game lol. But I did play it a month after release because everyone told me it's so similar. I guess i just came up with the same concept independently
He actually unironically said this about the dark souls similarities
>>
>>719912876
So the animation timings are the same? Good. SotN was very fluid and snappy, of all the games to emulate in that regard. SotN is one of the best examples.

I dunno about the pike skull dive attack though. The one animation they didn't base off of SotN's template and it's the most questionable decision of the bunch.
>>
>>719913171
The thing about plagiarism is that it's exponentially regressive. Silksong is already an inferior SOTN, that much is clear, but retarded zoomies are going to see Silksong as some trailblazer of originality and are then going to steal and subsequently make an even worse game, which will then go on to inspire the next gen to do the same and then the same and then the same...
>>
>>719912876
SOTN doesn't look like flash game tier indie trash and it also has much more fun shit like buttloads of weapons and items even if it's piss easy and unbalanced
>>
>>719914339
Ah, anon. Ever the ally of Konami.

I'll not ask that you join our side, but I demand you cease your attack!
>>
Funny cuz now that I think about it, you actually good dive kick in Dawn of Sorrow.
Anyway, the inspiration was obvious, but I dont see much similarities beyond that, dont really get how the dumb or attacks are the same. Unless you want to try to say that Silksong has that same feeling of attack delay as SOTN in an abstract sense? Which sure...but SOTN also has a bunch of weapons with different attack speeds.
>>
>>719914528
Yes, Konami used to make good games 2-3 decades ago
Silksong has no excuse for looking like 2D indie flash trash made 2 decades ago however
>>
>>719912876
Oh shit. Guess I better buy the game now
>>
>game has a hand-drawn animation that references a literal genre-defining game

Yawn.

Plagiarism sucks, especially when it took more effort to copy a scene than to just make a new one.

That already happened with the first game.

they'd have to try pretty hard to make it worse than hollow knight

I was never interested in Hollow Knight or Silksong, but I HAVE played and loved SOTN and this is the first time I'm seeing gameplay of Silksong. So now I want to play this badly... does Hollow Knight play the same as SOTN too?
>>
>>719913048
>>
>>719912876
does hollow knight have comparable music?
the style is like a soulless funkopop, the least it could do is copy good gameplay right?

the 30 year old game still looks better than the 7 year delayed calarts gay version
why are millenials so talentless?
>>
>>719912876
Wow an animation, it's literally the same game.
>>
>>719914239
That's not exactly true. Stealing is 100% required to innovate. Of course plebs will make poor copies (IE this game), but like architecture, you are following a blueprint. Corinthian Order sprang from Doric. They copied it exactly at one point.

your point?

comparing realistic gun reloads to frame by frame style animation rips
>>
>>719917554
There's a reason why nobody does pixel art anymore, it requires the kind of talent that's long gone.
I give props to the HK guys though, their hand-drawn stuff looks good and is far better than the Flash animation levels of shit that plagues everything these days.
>>
>>719916832
it is more like metroid in that you don't really get new equipment, you just get upgrades and new abilities.

flash animation and games had more soul than anything I've seen out of hollow knight pictures or gameplay, starting with the generic black hole eyed faggot player character and his gay little horns
>>
>>719918242
not my problem, choose a better style it looks like high budget flash without any of the flaws that add substance, just clean and gay like your sphincter when you're prepping for your dad

I'm starting to think that the way certain /v/ users despise inspiration is to discourage others to create. See, when you implant the idea that your work has to be 100% innovation, with no precedent whatsoever, then you create an insanely high bar. And with that, comes insecurity. And when you have insecurity then you don't get anything done. And why do they do it? Because they themselves can't create, and want to see others fail as well.
>>
>>719918334
By Flash shit I mean those static drawnings that are obviously just rotated around to simulate movement, some examples of that in the same area of indie Metroidvanias are Ender Lily and Salt and Sanctuary. I don't know what else to call this kind of animation.
>>
>>719912876
you seem really desperate to nitpick every little thing about this game
is it because its popular and you are a contrarian and you do it for attention?
