    Default Reminds me of Neocron

    Someones attempt at a cyberpunk mmo and it reminds me heavily of Neocron but maybe that's simply the similar setting.

    I was interested until I saw they will be using a tab targeting system instead of FPS.

    The devs played Neocron and said it inspired them to make that mmo.

    Did they just do a "find and replace" with neocron terminology, or was it a straight up cut and paste job?

    Which makes it more bizarre they would go with a tab targeting system.

    I assume tab targeting is easier to implement which is why almost all other MMO's go with it. It likely just removes the whole issue of clipping which has been a particular thorn in NC's side.

    They more or less admitted to ripping you guys off for content in their forum. I made an account there because I had to ask and see if i recognised anyone. You might wanna tell Kirk just in case they are infringing on his IP at all, with it being a commercial release and all.

    Probably, but still lessens my hype. Oh well, I'll still check it out if it ever actually comes out.

    No doubt the game is heavily influenced by NC but they haven't actually stolen assets or copied words and phrases like genrep, copbot and gogo. I'm no lawyer but from what I've seen of it, there doesn't seem to be anything copyright infringing.

    I've been following the game for a while and lost most of my interest when they announced the cookie cutter combat system. I'll still check it out if/when it's released, it's the closest thing to NC3 we're going to get.

    Are you sure they haven't ?

    Of course First President Alexandros, contrary to what dissidents and political agitators may try to propagate, was not a despotic, power-hungry autocrat who held the city in an iron grip. In fact, the benevolent leader of Heliopolis was a wise and learned man. Suspicions that anyone who wishes the city were run in a more democratic fashion, disappear without a trace, on the order of the President, are of course totally unfounded and do not contain even the slightest trace of truth.

    Of course President Reza, contrary to what dissidents and political agitators try to propagate, is not a despotic, power-hungry autocrat who holds the city in an iron grip. In fact, the benevolent leader of Neocron is a wise and learned man, who merely is head of the city council, which holds the true power in the city. Suspicions that the only reason for this council not being formed in free elections is because its current members are supposedly Reza's puppets, are of course totally unfounded and do not contain even the slightest trace of truth.
