Fortune-hunting industry hit hard by recession, apparently
What
Nathan Drake possesses in charm and acrobatic adroitness, he seriously lacks in luck. Much like that
fedora-capped, state-named adventurer, he never seems to end one of his adventures with the loot he set out to obtain, leaving his cash-flow as non-existent as his reservations over
killing thousands of pirates and mercenaries. Therefore, we're not surprised to see he's been branching out, and is now putting his keen analytical mind to work as a detective in
Big Fish Games' Hill Stone Animation Studio's PC puzzle-solving title,
The Broken Clues.
Of course, the preceding paragraph only makes sense in a world where video game characters are sentient beings, capable of performing activities outside of the scope designated for them by a hard-working team of programmers and designers. In reality, it seems that Drake's likeness was
straight-up yoinked by
Big Fish HSA Studio, in a brazen display of copyright infringement that's reminiscent of
Limbo of the Lost, only without the added bonus of being
unintentionally hilarious.
Update: Corrected developer name (i.e., Hill Stone Animation Studio). Big Fish Games is the
distributor. Also, check out the
even more striking resemblance highlighted in a new image comparison after the break! [Thanks, 7ucky & Sayed]
