How many ways can Space Marine NOT rip off Gears of War?- Destructoid: "Earlier this week, Venture Beat landed itself in hot water with the gamer community after publishing the controversial article, 'How Many Ways Can Space Marine Rip Off Gears of War?' The article accused Relic of copying Epic's shooter series, and the writer was utterly mauled by readers.
He was mauled because, as every school boy knows, the Warhammer 40,000 aesthetic, setting, and characters predate Gears of War by a couple of decades. If anything, Epic owes a tip of the hat to Games Workshop, not the other way around. This situation is made worse by the fact that originally, the article only had ONE argument, which was basically, 'The characters have muscles.'
Destructoid decided to bring some balance. We sat down with Relic, the developers of Space Marine, to get their side of the story and find out how their game is different from Gears of War. If one person thought Space Marine was a Gears clone, others will think it too -- hopefully this article helps them!"
