Yes. Yes it is. See for yourself.

I have nothing left to say. I was going to format this into an article but can't due to uncontrolled laughter at the audacity of such a thing.

Yeah, I just noticed this on Kotaku...and all I can say is...I hope they give up.
TF2 cannot be beaten at its own game.

And so the creativity virus passes over another studio..

Oh my...valve is going to shit a brick

oh my god! I dont know what to say, Team Fortress on manga girl toy steroids.

Why?

Well, it's third person and it's about toys, I... think...

But I really laughed when I saw the "Ubercharge" bit, haha! And the EMP grenade that looked strangely similar to a drunk, black, Scottish cyclops' grenades...

And... was that a baseball bat!?

I have 3 questions:

1. Why?
2. Why?
3. WHY?

And by god they made the scout a manga girl.

Good god, that really is blatant isn't it?
So they've changed some characters to robots and others into schoolgirs?
My brain hurts.

It looks more like a TF2 mod played on a de_rats map.

A mod that changes all the characters into anime chicks and robots.

This is a huge rip-off. The way the baseball bat, mini-gun, grenade launcher look, the scope of the sniper rifle, even the look of the Demoman and Soldier characters. It's a complete rip-off.

...I do believe this trailer just ganked the game it was advertising, to use a vulgar term.

I really can't think of anything to say. This is just stupid.

You mean the developers of this game are going to shit a brick. And wipe with the subpoena that they will be getting.

The grenades, the sniper rifle, sounds and scope, the heavy weapon, the damned ubercharge, the bat, the rocket launcher, even the music sounds pretty damn similar.

I think I saw everything but the spy, the engie and the medic, but I guess we'll get that in a patch.

Oh no. A class based shooter. Gasp.

Yeah. It kind of strikes me as a cross between Team Fortress 2 and Custom Robo. You know what? That's okay. You have have homages and imitators in video games. Good ideas set trends. I'd be interested to see how this turns out.

If the game's any good, I don't see a reason why it can't coexist with Valve's product - which is loaded with personality and charm.

I liked the video but sheesh, it's basically screaming "TF2 inspiration". I was expecting that sniper to get backstabbed at one point.

Okay, this is clearly TF 2, with simply the models exchanged mainly for manga and anime girls.

Is this a mod for TF 2 or something? 'cause that I could understand. But if this will be/is it's own game...Yeah. Creativity is officially dead. Again.

I thought this actually had some appeal to it. I mean it's like Toy Story in TF2. And I loved Toy Story. But this brings me up to another idea I read on this forum somewhere. It would have been totally awsome if they (Valve) also made it possible to have like a team of females as well in TF2. That would in my opinon be totally awsome

Wow they even used music that sounds like tf2's.

Is this real? If it is, wow. I've never seen a game so dedicated to actually rip every single idea of TF2 off. The only thing different is that they're toys and the map is small-scaled. Other than that, every aspect is ripped-off,

His Noodly Goodness save us from horny nerds wanting to peek up Haruhi Suzumiya's short skirt while she's bashing people to the head with a baseball bat.....

Because honestly, that's what the motivation would be for over 90% of the gamers.

Sure, toy story-esque multiplayer shooting game is a good idea.

It's called TF 2. And it's making a crapload of money, as expected.

There's a difference though. I actually may play this, but it doesn't stop the fact that they've basically shrunk everyone and changed the characters. There's homages, but this just takes the piss. If it were just a class based shooter, some would cry rip-off, but not everyone.

And they have rats maps on TF2 already. Just swap the models and it's the same thing.

Wow, so close to Team Fortress 2.
I will admit though, I do like the idea in fighting in an everyday environment being the size of a toy like that, though the theme of school girls vs demon girls vs robots seems a bit weird... One of the bigger reasons people might get that probably is that they prefer third person.

Ham Blitz:

Well there are already TF2 custom maps that do this.

This looks like a Japanese version/rip-off of Team Fortress 2. Seriously one of the classes takes out a silver bat. Oh and by the way I think Valve got some of its ideas for TF2 from Conker's Bad Fur Day.

TheOneFreeman:

1. To piss
2. you
3. off

You think the scout was bad? One of the dolls does the demoman pose from his video when he screams "let's do it!" It's at 1:32.

well, the only upside to the whole damn thing is you finally get a chance to slaughter manga schoolgirls.......

besides, it can never reach TF2 glory because I never once saw the 2 most important classes, the engineer and the spy

Ah, but the levels look pretty well designed.

We don't know much about the game, aside from the fact that:
1) They have classes that seem to shadow the TF2 squad's niche.
2) They're tiny.
3) The music sounds kinda like TF2's action theme.
4) The camera angle's third person, instead of first person.

That doesn't give us a lot to go on. Let's see where they go with this, then complain it's just a blatant TF2 clone.

I despise how they use anime-based females. Plus, it needs SPY SAPPIN' MAH SENTRY!

This is just.... have they no shame? And what were they thinking when they turned the heavy into a skinny manga &!%$# on pills.... the horror...

so valve now owns the copyright on baseball bats, 60's spy music theme songs, crappy homemade sniper rifles, grenades that are animated but still plausible, miniguns, and powerups that make you invincible?

Sure, the game isn't the most creative game in the world but then again, neither is TF2. Team based shooters are all over the place, mainly as seperate gamemodes in FPS's but still there. These two games just happen to put a more cartoony feel on it.

This concept has alot fo room to fly, their bizzare cling to the TF2 Formula is actually holding them back. Picture this out- Army Men with machine guns, Anime figurings with giant mallets and other rediculous ovesized weapons, Sci fi action figures with jetpacks and lazors... this could have been epic. I'll bang out an idea for the game as it should've been tomarrow.

Beyond the blatant ripping off, it seems to take itself and its premise seriously.

I doubt this will succeed at all outside of Japan though, if it does there. I'm not even sure how it will be distributed, and I can't bring it up in a Google search or on Wikipedia. I had to use a trail of links from youtube through some random foreign game interest site to the developer's site.

You know, when I think of how minor/independent PC games are distributed, I think Steam. I can just imagine them trying to get Valve to put this up.

When I hear true rip-off, I think of a product that is indentical not only in concept, but also in the majority of art and models. This is no more a rip-off then half of todays shooters and rip-offs of Halo: CE. Not like one being superior to the other is really going to matter too me because my PC can barley run even TF2, much less a 2009 game.
