Nanometic 265 Posted December 9, 2019 That reminds me that I found this game Which if you pay close attention to has the exact same animations as APB in a few places(shooting, walking, reloading, even has the very identifiable osmaw reload at one point). No idea if they're animations made by G1/RP or apart of UE's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiida 455 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Vehicles taken from APB, and entire race maps, environment assets and other vehicles taken from TrackMania 2, from what I recognise. I'm gonna assume Russians were behind it, as is with the game Nanometic linked. God knows they love to steal IP, and they usually get away with it.

plainawful 35 Posted December 9, 2019 Wait, the guns and the cars are actually assets bought from asset market places? Or just because APB puts a car in the game it's theirs? People are gullible, smh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GhosT 1301 Posted December 9, 2019 Also Trackmania Nations checkpoints (+ sound for it). Bet the rest of the game is stolen from somewhere else too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Charge Cisco is actually useful there, yay!! Jokes aside, honestly that isn't even a "game" made by any company or game design studio, to me it looks like an experiment made by someone who is learning or putting on practice his skills with Unity and such. In example, if you browse the Google Store there's plenty of android games that just port other games such as old versions of GTA and convert them to something else while there are also clear copies from well developed games that seems to be stolen between game studios. I don't think this particular case where they took a few cars without body kits for a ugly experimental game would be any kind of a big deal tbh.

SkittyM 287 Posted December 10, 2019 This is actually pretty old, and is also the reason the game files became encrypted back in 2014. A retail disc has unlocked files however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
