dude, grow yourself some own ideas!
i wont even touch the pro made franchise crap they try to sell with every movie, so i doubt some lonewolf might create something better then them.

on the other hand your best weapons are: no budget, no experience, no team and no copyright. use this advantages wisely and you might get sued your ass off this planet


the people here are just trying to help you so you dont waste time, energy and maybe even money.

the good point though: as long as you dont write Predator anywhere on your game, nobody will even recognize that this model should be the predator from the movie franchise. smart decision here!

cheese

the funny thing is that if he writes Predator that can be sued, but if he writes predator (see the difference there?) nobody can do anything about it as none owns rights to word predator.

In any way though I wouldn't mmake a predator game, the subject is too much used. Maybe with some twists to original predator gameplay it could be good, but then it wouldn't anymore be a Predator game

I they give me permission then I will create the game, if not, I'll create another FPS with a real person, so, no problem with that.

you people obviously have no idea what you are talking about (except Blattsalat) and have not, in the slightest way, grasped the concept fo a copyright and of a trademark...

...but it doesn´t matter. Somebody sees a good model and want to make a game.
Like tousand threads before... some guys saw GTA4, and they start with a killer project, some others looked at Quake and they wanted to copy the design.
The story is always the same, times never change. But... why the fuck not?
Just the idea to write as a hobby freak fox... is absolutely insane.
In my childhood, I wrote Debbie Harry and offered to marry her. She never wrote back.
So fuck... why not make a predator game?

Just ask. Really, it´s that easy.

Of course not:
"Hello , ill make a clown of xyz but i donno if im allowed to do that. Am I ???"

But:
-perfect style
-no orthographic mistakes
-links to your _best_ references
-commercial / not commercial
-why it has to be the Predator?
-proove your wisdom and addiction about Predator between the lines

In short: authenticity vs. political correctness
Try to meet the fine line between them.

If you´re not a good writer, you should search for help.
For investigation, you´ll need a good writer. No one will
take you serious, if you can´t express your vision.




Can you give an argumentation rather than warm words?
Have you tried it by yourself?

I have, otherwise I won´t give such an advice.

Not only to make the copyrights sure.
In addition I was able to get alot of information about the
copyright holders and the trademarks.
Which is really important if you want to make a good clone.

Hey!

However, to the point of cloning games, hell, why not? If you like a game and you wanna clone it, jeez, go ahead... I mean, it's your own time that you spend, and for a hobbyist, game developement should be fun in the first place, right? So, if you have fun in cloning a game, I see no problem with that - if the question of copyright is cleared, of course.

so let me see...

there are eighteen games based on the characters, some of them sold millions. the character makes over 100 millions a year inr evenues of merchandise. a new movie will be released this summer by robert friggin rodriguez. a game followup follows created by REAL developers.

the shown model is inaccurate and ugly, created by some lunatic on the internet, reworked for A7 purpouses by some dude who has "da skillz!" and no idea what he is doing, without any idea whats so special about the character in the first place, where it originated from or who is the copyright holder. a guy who writes fox a sloppy mail that wont ever be read. if he gets an aswer it will be an automatic one. oh and he watns to make a game with a complete concept taken from an already exisiting profesional predator game just that he wants to do it with "teh grafix!" on A7...

and you guys take this guy serious? makes me wonder whos more crazy... him or you...

@ spike: you REALLY get up on the wrong side of the bed today i guess...

@ all "developers" who planing to post their new project today: Wait til spike has a better day, he wont show mercy at days like today

We don´t take him too serious, I believe.
Of course he will fail, no question. (Sorry, but that´s the truth)

All I want to say is: If you want to make a clone, then make it right.
