Open-world game Genshin Impact has been described as an anime Breath of the Wild. Some Zelda fans in China are not happy about it. At all.

The Chinese-developed RPGs first gameplay footage was shown recently at the China Joy gaming expo.

As ZhugeEX and CCN report, the game has been called out for allegedly copying Breath of the Wild.

At China Joy, Zelda fans took photos of themselves holding their Switch consoles running Breath of the Wild flipping off the Genshin Impact display at the Sony booth. Theyre upset that Sony would release such a similar-looking game.

Despite this, we noted it was the most popular game at Sony China Joy booth with very long lines, ZhugeEX tells Kotaku.

Still, as Hachima reports, one guy even destroyed his PS4 in protest.

I know everyone views All-Stars Battle Royale as a Smash clone but the fighting mechanics are very different.

With that said, All-Stars Battle Royale is boring af.


What if we took away smashing players off the screen, nearly every single beloved Nintendo character and a shitload of fan service and replace it with a boring finisher system, barely any beloved PlayStation characters and a completely dry presentation.

What could go wrong?

Wouldn't have been so bad if death was actually feasible outside of landing a super on someone with already obscene amounts of damage. I remember when this game was on EVO: Single matches took 20 minutes. Commentary was falling asleep.

It's a rip off but I don't really care. It doesn't remove the original. And it's not like anyone's going to skip BOTW2 for this.

It's made by a Chinese company and being previewed in China. That should explain it.

The world's artstyle and the music tones are completely copied too. I think they also copied the cooking mechanics?

It's the most blatant copycat since Oceanhorn.

Oceanhorn is all original. This game is a straight up asset and code rip.

If they ever attempted it again I really hope they fix up the roster and maybe have a better story mode.

So why should I as someone who loved BotW be upset that there's a game imitating it?

That just means more of the stuff I like

So it took a good art style that was use in another good previous game. So what as long as the game play is different that it all good. Also, why is china players are piss when they lived in a place that steal anything and make it their own? Remember when they made a blatant copy of over watch?

The problem is always fanboys especially butt hurt fanboys.

Nintendo won't even give them a pat on the back. And here they think they are fighting for 'their beloved franchise'. Like they are knights.

Pathetic. More competition is always better for consumers. Literally every game gets price reduction after a while. But breath of the wild is still selling at 52.99 after 3 and a half years.

I'm not sure if we should assume the Chinese gamers holding Switch consoles and Breath of the Wild copies while flipping the bird are fine with other Chinese rip off products.

Hell maybe that's why they're so passionate.

You know, come to think of it, Mighty Number 9 also used a you can damage as much as you want but you need to use a special move to actually finish them off mechanic and it ALSO was pretty bad.

I wonder if that mechanic is the jet ski action scene of video games lol

It's not like imitators are anything new in gaming. There were clones of Pac-Man and Space Invaders.

On the plus side, I learned something today. A middle finger means the same thing in China as it does in the US.
