Crysis, Turok trailers reportedly too similar for comfort
An entry to Voodoo Extreme’s stories at IGN suggested that Crytek‘s Crysis “Countdown” trailer may have ripped off from Disney Interactive’s Turok (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) E3 2007 trailer which debuted earlier. The big news is that it definitely had similarities, especially in the introduction.
Unfortunately, the whole issue carved out a big battlefield for PC advocates and next-gen console fanboys, each one defending the game that would respectively release for their game platform of choice. It would have been an epic battle, too, if it weren’t for the occasional Sony-Microsoft fit flaring up at the next-gen console side.
But common sense came a-knockin’ at our noggins lately and pointed out one thing – a definite brow-raiser: the whole concept of “It was supposed to be simple, but…” is a worn-out cliche, anyways. If anyone ripped off the idea from anything at all, it would be the many action, horror, survival movies that came after the absolute first (which escapes our mental grasp), and this claim holds no solid ground.
But we all may agree to one thing: snack of NeoGAF Forums said, “They are different. In Turok something went wrong, but in Crysis something went terribly wrong. I don’t understand how you can confuse the two.” That said, this blogger rests his case.
