that's cheating welcome to Mojo plays and today we're taking a look at 10 games that copied the big leagues and surpassed them before we begin we publish new videos all week long so be sure to subscribe to Mojo plays and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos teken shortly after the release and astounding success of the first virtual fighter Namco poached a significant chunk of the team to work for them originally there were no plans for a fighting game just some animation tests potentially used for a new Ridge Racer game but when Namco got word that Sega was working on Virtual of Fighter 2 the order was placed develop a new 3D fighting game and beat Sega to the punch Tekken launched in Japanese arcades in September 1994 merely 2 months before Virtual Fighter 2 good it would also later release in worldwide arcades in December 1994 1 month before Sega could get vf2 out the door today Tekken is one of the biggest fighting games on the market with its eighth Mainline entry exploding in player count since its launch in January 2024 as for Virtual Fighter well we haven't had a new game since 2006 and no we're not counting all of those revised versions of vf5 that have come since where's Virtual Fighter 6 damn [Music] it KO lies of PE for years upon years upon years from software fans have been begging for Sony to green light a bloodborne 2 or at the very least Sony release a PS5 version that supports a higher frame rate the publisher just won't budge and when one market isn't being served someone will swoop in and serve them that is what Neo wiiz games and round eight Studio did with lies of P just spend 1 hour with this game and you will quickly realize the game is just an improvement bloodborne from the weaponry and how Pinocchio moves to the Grim and dismal world of crat you can tell the devs were inspired by fromsoft Gothic horror since launch the game has sold Gang Busters and a sequel has already been green L meanwhile bloodborne still sits and rots in 2015 at a choppy 30 FPS well don't just stand there don't you have work to do Final Fantasy prior to the merger square and Enix were two separate companies with different Ambitions while Enix saw Commercial Success With Dragon Quest Square was in deep financial trouble for quite some time the company was against making RPGs believing it would only lead to poor sales but when they hit rock bottom they had one last shot to make a game Square green lit and RPG for honoo sakaguchi to develop and only three developers volunteered to help him sakaguchi and his cohorts took elements from not only Dragon Quest but tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons to create the first Final Fantasy [Music] game it was a huge hit and would spawn countless sequels throughout the years while both Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest live happily under the same roof of Square Enix the younger cousin makes more frequent appearances with each Sequel and spin-off selling like hot cakes the older one makes an appearance every now and again but always delivers the same level of high quality with each [Music] entry Saints Row Hector says after Grand Theft Auto dominated throughout the sixth generation of consoles many companies tried to get ahead of the curve with their own GTA clones at the start of the seventh generation one of the first was Saints Row which took GTA's open world format and Hip-Hop Vibes to a new level where you could call in allies to help you in missions I'm going to enjoy despite seeing solid reviews and a few equally great sequels Saints R just never really took off in the same way GTA did for a time it was one of the few GTA clones that stood the test of time but then in 2022 we got the reboot which caused developer volition to shut its doors now who knows when we'll see the Saints again Bayonetta haven't you figured it out yet there's no quarter for you in this world in the late 2000s Capcom and many other Japanese gaming companies experienced a mass Exodus of developers who were just fed up with projects getting rejected by their higher ups among these developers was Hideki Kamya during his time at Capcom Kamya had worked as a director for various action games like Beautiful Joe Okami and the first devil maker cry however management kept shoving him to the side as others got to carry on Devil May Cry without him this along with other grievances would result in him quitting with Resident Evil Creator Shinji makami for the two to go start Platinum Games their first projects a gruesome Gore Fest known as Mad World for the Wii and most notably a sexy hacken slash inspired by Devil May Cry known know as Bayonetta well neither IP directly competed with each other bayonetta's continued presence since its Inception has shown how Dante has been kind of left in the shadows DMC 5 was great but damn Capcom are we going to get a six Devil May Cry anytime soon or do we have to pray that Bayonetta 3 didn't kill our witch lady maybe I should aim for something a bit more High CL Minecraft in case you younger folks hadn't heard this before Minecraft was practically a facelift of a completely different game infin Miner was a game released in 2009 that you could play on your browser players could do a variety of different things with the game's block building functionality But ultimately it wasn't super fleshed out compared to what Minecraft would dish out moyang has not shied away from the similarities and Creator Marcus Notch person has even talked about how infin Miner inspired him to make Minecraft today Minecraft has enjoyed resounding Success Through implementing live service elements collaborative DLC with various IPS and enjoying spin-offs like Minecraft dungeons and Minecraft Legends genin impact tired when you really dig into the game play it's a little difficult to see how gench and impact is similar to breath of the wild however the similarities are there and once you see them you can't unsee them the kns of aonia gliding manual does not sound like a fun read from the way the world's weather can affect terrain and status effects to the UI in music one cannot deny that developer mihoyo was clearly inspired by The Legend of Zelda's recent iterations the only real major difference between them is the gacha mechanics which you can take it or leave it but they're there oh them they're super famous stardew Valley before cozy life Sims came into their own Market many of us were starved your only real options were the Sims 4 or any of the old Harvest Moon or store of season [Music] titles but when starw Valley launched in 2015 it was all over so many grandpas died so many farms were inherited and so many people refused to leave their computers with so many activities and invoking the same tones of Harvest Moon stardew Valley achieved Grand Slam status in a sea of Home Runners and since then Harvest Moon has now become the obsolete title and has resorted to REM make only status and none of the remakes have recaptured their audiences like they used to Ghost of tsushima it feels like it's been ages since Assassin's Creed fans have been asking for a new game sent in Japan and Ubisoft responded with London no Japan we said Egypt we said Japan oh Greece no Japan Norway it is then well Sony and Sucker Punch Productions went and beat them to the punch in 2020 we basically got the Assassin's Creed in Japan game we wanted in the form of ghost of tsushima much of the level design stealth-based gameplay and immersion of Japanese culture boast the same amount of research and creativity you would expect from Ubisoft back when it was in its prime it wasn't until years after the game success that we would get an announcement for a new Assassin's Creed game that will finally be set in Japan but before we get that Sony will be double dipping on the feudal Japan ERA with Team Ninja for Rise of the Ronin while Sucker Punch toils away at goes to sushima 2 pal world the similarities between pal world and Pokemon have been so striking that it has led many to believe developer pocket pair possibly committed plagiarism we even made a list of the similarities and differences between the two on the main watch Mojo Channel some resemblances we saw were in the designs of NPC the use of pal spheres to capture monsters and more but what's truly odd is how po World took the World by storm at the start of 2024 the amount of attention it's received since has been overwhelming Beyond any amount that recent Pokémon games have garnered with the poor reception from players over Violet and Scarlet and sword and shield perhaps the Pokémon company and Game Freak will step up their game in future titles one can only [Music] hope do you know of any other copycat
