Internet message boards are not for guarded concerns and cautiousness -they're for disseminating wild statements and jumping to conclusions where there is very little facts.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />Here's my opinion:IF.. I repeat  IF Underworld is as close in similarity to WW's world as it LOOKS like it is, than I say Good job, WW for standing up to Sony for not even bothering to give you any credit for something so shamelessly taken from your inspiration.WW is not just "about vampires and werewolves" - there is a particular urban style and particular plot points about the relationships of the clans and vampires and werewolves that I'm shocked that Sony tried to (perhaps) lift without even so much as a hint of "based on" or "inspired by" and the like.Almost every slightly-knowledegable gamer I can think of, after seeing the trailer to Underworld, IMMEDIATELY thought "White Wolf", or "Vampire: the Masquerade" etc. The similarity doesn't appear to be just surface, same-genre stuff.In fact, (on the surface) I can't think of a more blatant-copyright infraction in major media source material in a long time...I think it was colossaly arrogant of Sony to throw a movie like Underworld out there and not talk to WW about it, or expect everyone to look over to WW and say, Hey - you gonna do something about this?"That all said, I am REALLY looking forward to Underworld and hope it's very successful.</blockquote>
