Crysis, Turok trailers reportedly too similar for comfort

Crysis, Turok trailers: too similar for comfort? - Image 1


An entry to Voodoo Extreme's stories at IGN suggested that Crytek's Crysis "Countdown" trailer may have ripped off from Disney Interactive's Turok (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) E3 2007 trailer which debuted earlier. The big news is that it definitely had similarities, especially in the introduction.

Unfortunately, the whole issue carved out a big battlefield for PC advocates and next-gen console fanboys, each one defending the game that would respectively release for their game platform of choice. It would have been an epic battle, too, if it weren't for the occasional Sony-Microsoft fit flaring up at the next-gen console side.

But common sense came a-knockin' at our noggins lately and pointed out one thing - a definite brow-raiser: the whole concept of "It was supposed to be simple, but..." is a worn-out cliche, anyways. If anyone ripped off the idea from anything at all, it would be the many action, horror, survival movies that came after the absolute first (which escapes our mental grasp), and this claim holds no solid ground.

But we all may agree to one thing: snack of NeoGAF Forums said, "They are different. In Turok something went wrong, but in Crysis something went terribly wrong. I don't understand how you can confuse the two." That said, this blogger rests his case.

must explain why PS3 is outselling 360s everywhere. Its 100$ pricier that 360. but still it's outselling. uh oh!! Xbots are in trouble. 360s dying!! what a surprise. wait till they drom the price to 400. Now that would be overkill.

Nobody buys a system with no games. When the new PS3 comes out, it will have more hardware to better emulate PS2 and PSX games. It will also have an 80gig HD and cost the same as the economy pack now. Also, if the PS3 was doing so well, Hideo Komija wouldn't have demanded that Sony allow him to develop MGS4 for other consoles in light of the PS3's major problems...

Firstly, I don't think 4million+ is nobody. Secondly, the new PS3 is actually selling. Thirdly, since when did Kojima demand that, and lastly, you're a feg.

Firstly, those 4 million people are letting their consoles collect dust till some actual games come out; Secondly, of course the new PS3 is selling, it's better than the old one; Thirdly, it isn't new. Here's 3 of the many stories. http://ps3.qj.net/Metal-Gear-creator-uncertain-on-PlayStation-3/pg/49/aid/86

only one of your links support your claim, the other two are either a rumor report from oct of 2006, or a quote from the owner, not kojima.

# Neuromancer, your a dumbassGuest 2007-08-08 02:37
What kinda idiot ar you Neuromancer. Hideo Komija didn't demand Sony to allow hime to develop MGS4 for other consols..... My god you are a rumor boy. The facts are the Konami company was debating and trying to convince Komija to consider other consoles to make up for a 5 year budgeting cost for the game.... dumbass.

# my godGuest 2007-08-08 02:40
That's not what statistics say dumbass. People bought a ps3 for decent games....... because they didn't want to play Halo or Gears of War *oh my god that's all the good game the 360 has*. People want a variety like Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Lair, Haze, Ratchet and Clank, ect. Not just two stupid ass good titles.

Do a search for "Kojima" right here on qj.net, read all that *****, and then come back and tell me he isn't disgusted with Sony's handling of the PS3. Or STFU and go back to whereever PS3 fanboys hang out. I hope you like racing games until something real gets released.

# He's rightGuest 2007-08-08 02:53
I own both consoles and I only own 2 games for my 360 and one of them wasn't even a top notch title. For my PS3 I own four store bought titles and about eight downloadable titles. I use my PS3 every day even if its not to play a game. I haven't used my 360 in over 2 months. I will be using my 360 come August 14th though after I buy Bioshock. My point is that PS3 doesn't have as many titles but they do have quality titles.

# silly fanboyGuest 2007-08-08 03:46
didnt lair get crap reviews and howcome you only name two games and simply ignore the rest if you had actualy ever played a 360 you would know better, maybe cause your just a fanboy so you just make like you know it all already.



And using the word dumbass makes you sound like a dumbass

# @ mrpopodomGuest 2007-08-08 04:21
well i have to agree with him though. I own both consoles and i tend to play with my ps3 more. I did wish i had more games though because it is getting repetitive but this holiday season we will be seeing more and more great games come out. As for my 360 i lvoe that console to i just play it less. Forza was a fun game but visually failed for me as i felt the textures on the track were awful. Im dying for mass effect badly right now and im waiting for my console to come back from MS repairs as it ringed out on me after not touching the damn thing for 2 weeks which was unexpected since it never gave me trouble.

# biggest rip everGuest 2007-08-08 04:36
at least the other sites pretend this is free. This site wants you and 12 other friends to complete 1 offer. The lowest price is 25 bucks. hmm... 12 x 25 equals $300. thats not free you *****.

# -_-6Guest 2007-08-08 06:44
@ fex - I would definitely pay 50 bucks a year for online gaming y? Because i can actually find my friends online and actually chat with them while playing other titles. I own a PS3 and your shiit is so limited, when you make friends on RFOM it doesnt even transfer to your original friends list plus you cant even see your friends from the XMB.



@ Link01 - Obviously your a fanboy and yes not only those two "stupid good ass titles" as you said are single handlely taking ps3 down, but i guess your probably to arrogant to see other great titles from the Xbox 360 "cough cough" Forza which beat Gran Turismo in polls stating it is a better simulator. Not only that because of the precious PS3 we have to wait till next year for GTA 4 because of "problems".



I own both consoles and I love my PS3, but lets face facts here who's winning the race here PS3 or Xbox 360 (Lol not including the Wii which kicks ass)? And dont give that 1 year head start bullshiit the Playstation Brand is big enough to sell it's name quickly.

# HAHAHAHAGuest 2007-08-08 07:52
I wouldn't pay $50 for an online service on a yearly basis, knowing that the system may show me the red ring of death. it'll prolly take me 6-12 months to get my system back, and i'll only get compensated w/ a month's worth of service. nope. they invented cell phones buddy...if you want 2 get a hold of ur buddies, give them a call.



if forza was so great, why don't they hold international race tourneys? polls don't mean $h!t since most people who vote are people who are bored w/ their games so they find other means to get them by or to find inspiration to continue playing. btw, how about we do a sales chart comparison and see how they compare. there is a reason why GT has a bigger customer base.



race? rofl, if you don't consider the 1 year head start then you should consider the fact that the PS2 has sold more units over the past 2 years than the Xblowx 711 has since its birth...over 2 years ago. gee, no wonder there hasn't been a migration from PS2 to PS3. M$ had to drop the first XBlox because it failed miserably w/ its fat controller, lack of games, and BS commercials that it had to jump ship QUICK just to get ahead. once Sony decides to put the PS2 to sleep, all hell will break loose and M$ will be stuck designing the PS4's OS. ROFL...wait thats not a good idea, coz it's going to be continually hacked/patched/updated. WTF

# Oh great another XbotGuest 2007-08-08 09:19
How about you shut the F.U.C.K up you piece of S.H.I.T. First of all all those dumbass links you provided are all rumors with the exception of the dumbass Konami president one. Which he doesn't know ***** what he's talking about just like you. Hideo Kojima loves the Playstation brand and he always has thanks to it his name is widely known all over the world. Third there is no way MGS4 will ever end up on the 360 why because when Kojima says a game is exclusive it stays exclusive simple as that. He said Twin Snakes was exclusive to the Gamecube and oops look at that it stayed exclusive. He also MGS3 was exclusive to the PS2 and oops look at that it stayed exclusive. He also said MGSPO was exclusive to the PSP and oops look at that also exclusive. Besides the game relies heavily on the Cell Processor, Sixaxis and Blu-Ray which the 360 doesn't have. Also you know the demo which was shown recently yeah well guess what it was running on actual Playstation 3 hardware that alone tells you that the game has been in development exclusively for a long time on the PS3. Also in the game when your controlling Metal Gear MK-II you can very clearly see that Snake is holding a Sixaxis controller in his hands. So what does this all tell you. Simple 360 is getting Metal Gear Online alongside us PS3 owners but Metal Gear Solid 4 is staying exclusive to where it belongs and where the series are supposedly going to end. So you can put that in your pipe and smoke it you piece of S.H.I.T

Since it failed soooo miserably i guess they dont have most of europe on their side u moron and not only that with a simple online service u dunt need the hassle of calling ur buddies to get on off a cell phone thats y you have online gaming. So your telling me that you would call your buddy everytime you see him online that's really stupid when u can simply navigate to him. Soo yea when your friend sends u a msg ur gonna call him and be like " Dude what did u write in that msg u know i cant see while im playing RFOM" Plus have you had your Xbox 360 break on you and i guess your not up to-date-date rookie but microsoft announced a 3 year warranty which they would fix there consumers console for free. "Not Bad huh" and, you would get your console within the week. Shiit it happened to me and it took about a week. So as long as i can get my console back in working condition then i dunt care.

And obviously the ps2 sold more because it was an older brand name when a new console hits the shelves people are skepticle on getting the console soo much for the n-gage which that crap sucked ,but besides the point Sony has a huge install base but it isnt showing up in sales

# HAHAHAHAGuest 2007-08-08 12:21
you make me laugh fanboys. most of europe? if you must know, europe is always last in getting things video game-wise. gasp, that must mean the PS3 prolly hasn't had a chance to make an appearance yet. FOMG



yes, cell phones. are u saying you devote all your free time online that you basically have no "real" life outside your living room? and yes, i would call them if they txt me while im BZ in a game. its called multitaskin and using the most of my whenever minutes.



3 year extension? rofl M$ has denied that their systems were F'N up since its initial release...and now that they're under some heat, they had to desperately extend them so they wouldn't be sued up the ass.



BTW, in a week my ass. try doing some research and see how long it takes people to get their refurbished Xblox 711. 1 week? prove it...put down your tracking number and lets verify. for the main part, there've been many scenarios where people recieved older systems, defective systems, or still haven't gotten their XBox 711 for months on end...let alone not being compensated for thier lost tym on XBL. sad.



and with your last statement. ROFL. nintendo was basically a household name in the 80s with the original NES. nintendo had the biggest install base w/ the SNES before the PS came to the scene. with that being the case, the n64 shoulda been at least 2x more popular after the SNES died off...but that wasn't the case. the PS outsold the n64, the saturn, AND the dreamcast *which was supposed to battle PS2*.



think about it, the XBlox 711 is selling just a bit better (2%-5%) than the original XBlox and the sales have slowed down. who won the "race" between the ps2, xblox, and gc again? the ps, the ps2, AND the PS3 have sold at the same pace due to limited library and coding issues, so take that into consideration. sure, the ps3 will not be 1st in this generation, but it won't finish last since the Wii is the guarantee victor...but knowing sony's history, i won't be surprised if they do to M$ what they did to $ega.

How would a cellphone come in conflict with the online facts are facts and PSN will not be better than Xbox Live. Thats why we have Gaming online so that process of picking up your phone and dialing doesnt come to bother. So your telling me that if your phone is down stairs and your in the middle of a heated match that you will stop for check, that's blind sighted. Yes nintendo has been there since the 80's but are you forgeting who created the original concept of the Playstation. Yea "Nintendo" did the original "Playstation" it was the "Nintendo Playstation". So if you think about it people who played the nintendo chased a nintendo system until the headliners were released on how that was nintendo little scrap project. Now that the holiday's are coming Xbox 360 not only are dropping the price of the console by $50 and they are also including 6 months of Xbox Live for free. Anyways the extension was a way to get out of lawsuit but still is something. And o yea your running on Windows so remeber who's in control rookie XD

no ***** the PS3 is outselling the 360 it JUST CAME OUT. Thats like saying ohhh look Zune is outselling the black and whie iPod this week, that means more people want the Zune. Wrong. The reason it's outselling right now is because most people who wanted a 360 already got one (11.6 million people) and nobody that wants a PS3 has been able to get one (too expensive and extreme shortages on launch). If you compare the sales of each of the 2 during their initial launch youll see the 360 far surpassed the PS3. Thanks buh bye.

Just stop commenting, your posts are the only things that are sad.



Why bother typing all that useless crap if people are just going to laugh at you? Come on, you put a dollar sign instead of an S in the name of every company (every company except Sony, who is the fanboy now???), you must've said ROFL like ten times, and you keep saying Xblox 711, whatever the f*ck that is supposed to mean. Do you expect anyone to take you seriously?



I'll use an acronym you seem to love to sum up what I think of your comments: ROFL
