These genshin kids thinks .. genshin invented the whole gaming industry and everything's copy of themm ..
While they forget genshin is just a Breath of the wild rip offf

Wuthering Waves was planned in 2019. It's unlikely they copied ideas from Genshin because at that time, Genshin didn't even exist. If not Zelda, their inspiration might be Nier or DMC. Then Genshin was released. After seeing Genshin's success, it's undeniable that Kuro drew heavy inspiration, but I believe they had their own ideas from the start about an open-world, post-apocalyptic gacha game focused on combat.

So many valid points made. Yes there’s obvious similarities between both IPs. However, we’ve seen this type of inspiration with multiple franchises through the decades.

I just hope that both games can thrive in this gacha space. #TeamWuWa

[warcatbattalion]

yes

It genuinely baffles me how actual, real people can put so much effort into making a near indistinguishable copy of something else. Most of these screenshots are totally indistinct from Genshin, the UI is EXACTLY the fucking same, even the fucking scale and camera angle and every little detail. It's somewhere between disgusting and astounding.

I'm surprised how people keep forgetting what the word 'Inspiration' meant and thought "Oh hey this game copied genshin, let's make fun out of it" like they forgot that even genshin took an inspiration from Zelda

[probablysleepingnow]

kinda off topic but i wanna say this. i really appreciate your content! its straight out on point, informative, entertaining even. i don’t have the game and i watched all your videos so thank you and please post about withering waves more<3

[Powerfanta]

i like genshin impact and i like wuthering waves. but saying it takes inspiration when it comes to the UI?? are people blind?:P its 1 to 1 of genshin UI

[Etherwinter]

Just the opening clip of the boss fight should tell you all you need to know about how much different Wuthering is from Genshin.

I really don’t care if they copy Genshin Impact I always thinking and looking at it as a sequel to it but takes place way into the future and is way better that’s why I left Genshin Impact and move onto Wuthering Waves

We need 3 pull company like hoyo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Pelle]

I would say genshin has more iconic characters and wurthering Waves combat is bassicsly a anime style game of dmc

[SonGoli]

No, people wanted brighter colors, the game doesnt even look as gloomy as it used to in cbt 1

[JalBabazad-vfyb]

I hate it when peoples are like genshin copy of breath of the wild but wuthering waves is not copy of genshin

[Lzura]

Some people are saying WW is a 1 to 1 copy of GI regardless of good combat, post apocalyptic theme, and echo system which is outright wrong and it sounds like he didn't even play the game or even watch streams

[thethphoenix]

Honestly genshin fans just have to understand (which i believe is hard for them) that while yes the ui looks similar to gi everything else is way too different and unique, in beta alone ww has shown some insane improvements and new fresh gameplay to the market with it being a open world rpg game with echos (aka Pokémon inspiration), racing (i believe) and platform gameplay

It has better combat system with it being more action focused and requiring more skills and combos, something genshin fans don't realise is that the development team of gi is a huge piece of dog poop when compared to others, end game ? Only spiral abyss for a quick 3 hours max every week if you are endgame player, gacha ? Bad treatment honestly, celebratory rewards ? Barely any .
look at hsr (another hoyo game) the end game content in only few updates outweighs the entirety of genshin, they are gracious often giving 10 feul thingies, 10 wishes per patch, a free five star and more, the wishing experience is also better with their standard and novice banners giving free five star easily early on and them giving (35?) Standard pulls from just leveling up your rank in game

Also please get that culture concepts weren't made by genshin . see a lion dancer / a shrine maiden, yeah those weren't invented by genshin those are concepts in japanese and Chinese culture

[yuu]

Lol, genshin doesn't have right to own a genre (every other game too). even if they popularized it, It's given in the gaming industry, Hoyoverse scrapped and clearly merged different genres and became popular due to the influence of covid. So they are not entitled to own the genre. (well, the Toxic G-Players popularized the mindset that everything in the universe is created by GENSHIN.)

So by saying wuwa is a copy of gensin is a total crap. I guess they don't know that and I guess that's genshin player's coping mechanism that the genshin has a rival now. Wuwa might not be a genshin killer but as time passes, (if kuro sucessfully launch their game and gain huge playerbase), genshin will be sliding down in the gacha space.

[SuicidePlayer]

All of creator's ideas come from searching sources for their contents. So, it's common for creators that arrange some contents from others.

And this case, peoples scoring the contents just from what they are seeing.

(From my opinions) scoring most came from ui and interface like genshin in general.

Ex : genshin like copied zeld, the truth they just arrange that ideas, not full copied

[nesussy]

even if they did copy genshin, they did it way better and I'm on their side

[cretasa]

2:13 straigth copy of honkai impact 💀💀

[GabrielMarquez]

The only thing i see too similar to genshin is the progression, max character lvl and skill lvl also the way you ascend characters and level up skills is basically the same, like exactly the same, no extra steps or less steps, that's the only thing i feel is a direct copy of GI (correct me if i am wrong) for the rest, it SEEMS very fresh in comparison with GI (i say it like that because i didn't get access to any of the CBT T_T) as for me, imma play it for the combat and characters design, i am afraid that GI and tower of fantasy completely burned out the open world exploration experience in general for me and idk if ww will make me recover my passion for exploring maps again xD
