If Konami wants to do something good for once, they would release Momotaro Dentetsu internationally. It's already catching up to Ring Fit Adventure in sales despite only being released two months ago.
I saw a PC Gamer article about this that mentioned that one of the characters in BulletVille shares some characteristics to Mercy from Overwatch. With this in mind, It's clear that NOWWA is only doing this for publicity.
I'll give them credit for mentioning the fact they had EA involved with the playtests (even though they never said how involved EA was), but how likely is it that the saw the Hunter character and then whipped up the "knock-off" from scratch shortly after in time? Especially when they had to release an entirely different character after the playtests.
@RedHot08 Apex Legends characters take a while to be developed so it's not likely they borrowed a design from NOWWA in the short amount of time they could even see the character. Not like they could have a reason to do so anyway.
@Fighter_Hayabusa Like I said previously, those are hardly unique enough to be considered a knock-off. Sure they may share a lot of similarities in regards to appearance characteristics, but they're pretty minor honestly.
These characters are designed many months in advance anyway
They should go after Blizzard too since they too have a character that has an eyepatch and prosthetic limb and another that uses a rocket launcher and pistol. It's unbelievable that people can't realize that Hunter is literally the only character in existence who can have those
Can you really take these threats that seriously when they literally threatened to review bomb the game? We all know that never works the way people want it to.
Still, good on them for sticking to their guns and not complying because of "many messages from gamers"
"the coronavirus outbreak has had a massively negative effect on other business sectors, with many companies having to lay off staff or even close due to the loss of earnings and general disruption."
This wouldn't be too big of an issue if people realized that there was a coronavirus outbreak

@Kalmaro Atlus really wants to tease us just like how they teased us for an international release for strikers

Re: No, Konami Isn't Exiting The Video Game Business
@clvr The amount of games they're releasing (or rather not releasing) isn't the issue. The problems with Konami stem far as back as 2012.
Re: Hades Takes Game Of The Year At 10th Annual New York Game Awards
"Nintendo games weren't widely nominated here, with the exception of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and that took the award for Best Kids Game."
When tf has a kid played Animal Crossing that wasn't from their parents?
Re: No, Konami Isn't Exiting The Video Game Business
@AtlanteanMan I wouldn't lump Sega in with Konami even though that's still true
Re: No, Konami Isn't Exiting The Video Game Business
@EmmatheBest They only published it. Even then, they still made terrible ones such as Metal Gear Survive and Contra Rogue Corps.
Re: No, Konami Isn't Exiting The Video Game Business
@EmmatheBest What was that?
Re: No, Konami Isn't Exiting The Video Game Business
Let's be real, these rumors should have been true.
Re: Feature: Hands-On With Momotaro Dentetsu, The Switch Game That's Beating Zelda And Animal Crossing In Japan
I'm surprised Konami has a hit with one of their games considering they're essentially trying to taint the ones people love

@Bobb Both designs aren't exactly unique enough to be considered "ripped off"

Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Calls Cyberpunk 2077 A "Dream Game"
@Peach64 @Kalmaro The gamer was in development for 8 years. It was absolutely not rushed
Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Calls Cyberpunk 2077 A "Dream Game"
@iulis84 Your comment was bad enough but the moment you said "paid for fake reviews" I immediately knew you have no clue what you're saying.
In my opinion, of course.
Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Calls Cyberpunk 2077 A "Dream Game"
Not to knock on Sakurai, but the whole refund thing was hardly sincere
Re: Same-Gender Marriage Will Apparently Be Available In Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town
Still surprised it took this long to implement it (yet still not call it gay marriage) when Stardew Valley did it years ago.

Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Gets A Free Classic Mode Update In January
Nice to see this get more love than Konami did with Castlevania by releasing a mobile game and then shutting it down less than a year later.

Re: Nintendo Paid "Around $6 Million" For Monster Hunter Rise's Timed Exclusivity On Switch
I mean if Sony can pay for exclusive non-cosmetic content of multi-plat games, this is only fair.
