Zack Snyder’s adventure of female warriors was an original idea, but Sucker Punch took its influences from 20th century warfare, steampunk, Japanese mecha and anime as much as any modern fantasy game. Whether it’s Nazi Zombies made famous by Call of Duty , or mixing bullets and blades with dragons and orcs like Final Fantasy (and too many other RPGs to count), the source material is clear. Snyder stated that he wanted the movie to be less chaotic than a typical video game experience, but the constant need to defeat waves of enemies or steal key quest items was spotted by critics… and their comparisons to one massive video game adventure weren’t usually meant as a complim

Although an extremely recent lawsuit, this one has the potential to be one of the most controversial of all time, in part due to the sheer profile of those involved. Back in the summer of 2015, Bethesda hit gold with its mobile game Fallout Shelter , successfully converting the world of Fallout into a mobile game format. However, when the company saw a similar game based on Westworld from Warner Bros. and developer Behaviour Interactive, who co-developed Fallout Shelter , the company was not pleased, and promptly sued Warner Bros. with a strongly-worded s

The steampunk world of the Dishonored series has gained many fans since the original game's release, and the franchise reached new heights with 2016's Dishonored 2 . However, the story of the sequel did not end there, with a standalone follow-up called Dishonored: Death of the Outsider releasing this y

The story of giant mechs fighting giant monsters told in Pacific Rim pulled from decades of Japanese anime and films, but director Guillermo del Toro didn't copy any one movie when developing his own. But as a die hard gamer, it's no surprise to see futuristic pilots in VR helmets working in unison to launch special attacks, taking on more and more difficult enemies. Del Toro even called on Ellen McLain, the voice of the Portal game series' GLaDOS to supply the voice of his own futuristic me

The original Splatoon was a fantastic change of pace from Nintendo, with one flaw: it was stuck on the ailing Wii U. Thankfully, Splatoon 2 can have much more of an impact thanks to its home on the massively successful Nintendo Swit

Now that we’ve got some of the meat and potatoes out of the way, it’s time to dive into the finer details of how Fortnite rips off PUBG . Starting with one that particularly feels like a blatant rip-off, keeping the lobby sizes to

Pitting four surivors with a sense of humor against an army of the undead made Zombieland a hit, but one video game series was using zombies for fun, not fear long before. The zombie shooter Left 4 Dead followed the same formula, even shaping its campaign and marketing to resemble a Hollywood film, but fans soon turned the game into an online sensation, where hilarious kills were the top priority. Zombieland kept the sense of humor and tension, and even "Kills of the Week" competitions intact, not to mention a finale set in a zombie-filled amusement park - a location included in Left 4 Dead 2 , released shortly after the mo

The legal battle between Epic Games and Too Human developer Silicon Knights was long and complex. Initially, Silicon Knights took Epic to court over the licensing of Unreal Engine 3, with the developer claiming that Epic was in breach of contract by withholding information about the engine itself, leading to the studio needing to build its own engine. However, before too long the tables were turned, and a countersuit led the courts to discover that Silicon Knights' own engine was using thousands of lines of code from the Unreal Eng

Modern game makers can dream up entire universes, but games made in the ‘80s and ‘90s had to rely on levels, and chains of boss battles for success. Die Hard may be the most famous movie to actually take the idea of fighting enemies from level to level literally, but the original writer’s idea for the story was basically a live-action version of Elevator Action , a FPS Game Tips|Https://Fpspedia.Com/ released just a few years later. Since then, movies like Dredd and The Raid: Redemption have embraced the same structure, sending heroes up against gangs of enemies, mini-bosses and one massive final battle to achieve victory. The confined settings and levels may just be a way of keeping a story simple, but the solution is one that game developers were the first to really expl
