-GaMeR- Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Sounds like a great deal of influence from Ubisoft's Prince of Persia games. Come on... Sands of Inaros? Also time(line) manipulation? Prince of persia v2.0 :) I love both games, but still this seems like a tiny bit of "idea" ripoff to me. Not to bash the devs, don't get me wrong just wanted to point the similarity between these games. I'm a huge fan of Prince of Persia franchise and can't wait for the Warframe Sands of Inaros update release. Here are some of the similarities: WF Sands of Inaros = PoP Sands of time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia:_The_Sands_of_Time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia:_Warrior_Within "The Prince makes his way through the fortress, using the sand portals to travel back and forth between the past and present" https://warframe.com/news/attention-pc-tenno-31 "The time has come to explore both timelines. Your deft spy skills are called upon as you overcome time-bending challenges on new Moon missions." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will surely appreciate any thoughts on this from the devs. Edited March 2, 2016 by -GaMeR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdunSaveMe Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) How often are people going to post about these stretched connections and say it's a ripoff? Seems like every time something new comes out people grab whatever is vaguely similar and throw it at the wall. There's time, some sand, the name has three words and an 'of' in the middle. That's all. Time manipulation is not a new concept to gaming. Edited March 2, 2016 by AdunSaveMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a point, it is dangerously alike and twice as pointless. Warframe could do much better than this, plus this sounds way too complex for a repetitive mission.

Would you rather have us trek to point A, go underwater to point B and stand there for a while, then piss off, all in the space of fifteen minutes, or do something that's actually interesting and different? I guess WoW's raids or SMB's levels are too complex as well, since they're repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that didn't sound nice, way too childish. The thing here was it's the actual time past/present manipulation mechanic PLUS nearly the exact title. Sands of Inaros come on... could've been anything, basically anything but they chose to be "sands" along with the time manipulation update. That is some serious similarity to me...

The thing was with the past/present switching in the new moon spy missons. We will still need to wait for the update to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noioiy Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Well there's also another game called Singularity I think. Where a head this thingy on our wrist that manipulated time. I didn't play the game though. Wait, does the new frame actually has time manipulation powers? If you're talking about the spy vaults, then I think it's happening cause part of it is stuck inside the void still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sands of Time dates back at least as far as psalms from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time " That's a terrible excuse for this sort of stretch. That and the time shifts tie in with the spy vaults, not Inaros as far as we can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GaMeR- Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Absolutely no reason for mocking. But I get what you are trying to do. My statement was because of the multiple similar things connected between this game future update and prince of persia's whole story. If it was only the name of the update fine, only the time thingy in moon missions ok. But both of them in one box? We have partially copied name Sands of Inaros and also a game mechanic for future mission type. Now that is left, is for the new warframe to have some time manipulation power(s) and we are good to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostedMike Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 But... The time manipulation part is the Moon spy missions, the sand part is the Munny-Frame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point you're just grasping at straws trying to make connections where there aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)IxSPINxATx33rpm Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Maybe a dev is a fan of PoP or something. I really don't see any connection though. Persia, time and sand aren't copyrighted. Edited March 2, 2016 by (XB1)IxSPINxATx33rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratego89 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Funny enough right before this was posted I had pondered if it was a pun on "sands of time" because of the spy vaults, but I couldn't find any connection to Inaros and the word time so I thought I was just thinking too much.

Well there are connections in the first post... Those two parts are good connections to me, especially when they are both released in the same time.
