Limbo of the Lost developers say they were unaware of Oblivion rip-off

My mistake. Someone is falling for it.

Well a smart person using other people's work as their own would probably not submit it all right away and act like they are hard at work (aka world of warcraft as in that is what they are actually doing)

Well agreed on that point but then you get into the idea of art styles. A particular artist has their signatures all over the content they create in both workflow and UV usage. So even if the artists in question weren't dropping it all at once, the large differences in the content delivered both in texturing technique and art style itself should have been a HUGE flag.

After all, it wasn't just Oblivion that was stolen from. UV maps from Oblivion, I wager, look hugely different from the ones in Bloodrayne. I mean, hell, I was freelance on FS One and between all the artists that worked on it, you could TELL who made what vehicles/environments.

So once again, the outsourcing excuse is no excuse. I could see HOW it could happen, but this does send up red flags all over the place.

Okay, and now I officially throw down my "not buying it."

Limbo of the Lost is 100% static prerendered shots like FFVII or Resident Evil. In other words, the outsourced work in question didn't even need to be rerendered, just touched up in Photoshop. Considering THIS evidence...

It's very clear that the desired imagery must have been gathered from the designers side of things to make the game in question. Static imagery + Lack of 3D engine + borrowed imagery having drastic artistic variation from each other = outsourcing excuse not valid.

We use items purchased from Turbosquid all the time but these are direct screengrabs tied into the design itself. Wow... fry em.

"If you have ever worked for a real company"

Haha right. Except this doesn't look like a "real" company at all. It's just three old guys who thought they could make easy money by fooling people.

It's not like they had any real coders either. The game was apparently "created" with some kind of adventure game kit, and the "programmer" basically had the support forums code the whole game for him.

That isn't the only example. Look up some stuff on the internets, and you'll quickly realize they were definitely fully aware of everything, they're lying through their teeth.

Ironically, one of the very few legit things about this game, the music, WAS outsourced. Imagine that.
