Exclamation Red Sector 2112 - Get rid of it. They violated copyrights

I said before that this game was just ripped from many other games. Well the proof is here. My friend BetaSword at Pocketgamer.org tipped me off to this one (He's also the submitter of the news article there). It's official now. Red Sector 2112 is using ripped textures and other copyrighted materials. Here's the post from 3D Realms - http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthread...0&fpart=1&vc=1

And here's the news post from my friend - http://www.pocketgamer.org/showthread.php?threadid=4748

Any questions?

P.S. Could a mod or something place this in the Front Page news or something? I think people should know so they can send some angry emails or something...

The game was piss poor anyway. And I did think it looked kinda ripped when I played the demo.

No big surprise... But someone needs to do something about it

I think this article is fine here, we dont need to be going crazy with spamming this company...if people want to send complaints, they will find this article just as easily here in the games forum.

I really can't understand that the game looks so poor with all those sources and textures of good looking 3d games....

I have tried it, and it's a joke!

^^Yeah, the real crime is how utterly crappy the game is. I could care less if the textures infringe on copyrights as long as game play is good, and Red Sector is absolutely horrendous.

Why not? These low-lifes have ripped off the hard work of others, and we should let them know what we think. I wouldn't call that spamming.

Never played it, but did anyone else realize the name is even a rip-off? It's clearly a Rush reference. What an insult to the band!

You know... I believe this is the wrong way to demonstrate your anger, frustrations or whatever towards this company. When I first saw that a demo was available I couldn't care more for it. I didn't even download it. Now that all this "ruckus" has been made I'm quite interested to take a look at it.

Perhaps not to mention the game even exists will make a bigger dent on them than to keep "marketing" and hyping it will.

Though, I'm pretty sure the graphic stinks on VGA devices.

I think it's just not our bussiness. Let's just let the affected companies get all legal by theirselves, if they find that's what they need to do, and enjoy or hate what we have at hand without complaining so much... Sure, the game is a rip off, but is it any fun? I heard it's really crappy. Perhaps they are not seeing the sales they expected due to the incapability of the crew incharged. They will see that they just can't expect a game to drive sales by making just another piece of copy-paste crap for a very specific first person hardcore gamers audience (no offense, Rice Lover, I know you liked it nice to meet you, by the way...)... I think gaming goes way beyond that... Still, I want to try the demo after all the chat and tell you if it's any good or not
