Whereas The First Descendant is usually constructed from Warframe DNA, gamers have seen that plenty of in-game icons look awfully like ones from Future 2. One can be a coincidence, possibly, however there are lots of, and that is with out checking greater than a low % of all of the icons within the sport.
On this case, you may see that there are tiny tweaks to virtually all of them, a “copy my homework with out making it appear like you copied it” sort state of affairs, nevertheless it’s fairly clear that if these weren’t flat-out taken from Future they had been copied virtually precisely with these small additions or subtractions added.
Whereas I’m unsure the rest is 1:1 like this within the sport, performed have seen a gun that appears rather a lot like a Future 2 design. The gun in query is the Completely different Dream, which you’ll be able to see above. And the thought is that it has taken its design aesthetic from the IKELOS sequence of weapons in Future 2, particularly the IKELOS sniper:
And extra so the Sleeper Simulant.
The query is whether or not it was taken or a tribute. I don’t know. It actually resembles the aesthetic, nevertheless it’s undoubtedly not an precise copy. That barrel and Sleeper’s look extraordinarily shut, clearly. Although the truth that the gun is known as “Completely different Dream” makes me suppose it might be a tribute moderately than a rip-off. I’m…virtually prepared to provide them the advantage of the doubt. The icon factor is worse, should you ask me, and in the event that they did it there…
There are a couple of different issues, to this point. There’s one shielded enemy with a weak spot within the middle that reacts primarily identically to a Cabal Phalanx when it’s struck. There’s in fact one of many predominant items of artwork of the sport that was in comparison with Future forward of launch, although that’s slightly freeze orb, not a ghost.
Usually talking, The First Descendant looks like an amalgam of a bunch of video games with comparatively few unique ideas. Once more, it’s not less than 85% Warframe DNA in virtually each doable method, with extra intrusive and costly microtransactions (although even these are principally from Warframe too).
I believe quite a lot of this might be missed even when the “inspiration” is obvious, should you can name it that. However the icons are problematic and I do marvel if Bungie will attempt to do something about it. I have no idea if different icons could also be from different video games I don’t play. I’ll proceed in search of extra comparability factors, and submit any you’ll have to me on Twitter.
I’ve reached out to Nexon and Bungie for remark, and can replace if I hear again.
