It's impossible not to notice the resemblance it bears to SC1. 3 races (1 hum, 2 alien; robo & organic). Look at those buildings, units, maps O_O And the name... StarFront -_- I wonder if Blizzard's gonna sue Gameloft. iPhone owners should check it out anyway   | ||

"You made a game that is similar to ours!" is not really a good reason to sue. The gaming industry is so full of rip-offs, just think of the thousands of WoW rip-offs. | ||

...and WoW was a "ripoff" of Everquest. The only real resemblance that game has to SC is that it is an RTS and it has 3 races. So yeah, I highly doubt they will be sued. People should be happy that other games developers realise how well Starcraft works and want to copy ideas from it. I'm hoping that some developers take the idea of having a super balanced, competitive and fun RTS and refine that idea into the ultimate game. That was what Blizzard did with WoW after all. They took the basic ideas of Everquest and refined the hell out of it so it played more smoothly, was more fun and in turn more popular. I still remember people laughing at WoW during the beta because of it's shit graphics (compared to EQ2) and the fact it didn't really bring much new to the genre as well as being extremely linear. We all know how that story ends. In the 90s Blizzard was well known being able to take an existing idea or genre and do it better than anyone else could. They weren't really known as the company that came up with fantastic and fresh ideas. A good example of that would have to be Nintendo. The sad exception to the Blizzard rule (in my opinion!) is SC2. It just seems more and more like an attempt to cash in on the name rather than an honest attempt at making a great RTS that will stand the test of time like the original. | ||

Once I saw the name gameloft I understood.. quick knock offs for a quick buck, usually pretty poor, but still popular. Kind of like that company that makes movies with titles similar to blockbuster films, that way some people are suckered into buying them thinking it's maybe a sequal when really its a low budget nasty cash in. | ||
