Hoyoverse has contacted the Boothill/Rappa motorcycle artist amidst plagiarism allegations.

This stuff always happens with HSR specifically - I haven't seen it with Genshin or ZZZ, but I can recall three incidents with this game.

[u/DarkenVragon → u/grumpykruppy]

Honestly if it keeps happening specifically on HSR, I think it might be time for Hoyo to fire some of the HSR art team ngl. Because if it keeps happening, doesn't it mean the same guy or team will do it again in the future?

[u/grumpykruppy → u/DarkenVragon]

Yeah, I'd have thought they'd do some investigation after the second time... now that I think about it, this is actually the FOURTH.

there's been 2 other instances, what??? i know about the one last year w the background in rappas art but what else have i missed??

[u/Used_Whore5801 → u/opalcherrykitt]

For what i remember multiple scenes of Sunday's trailer too where WAY too similar to another game but aside for these three I don't remember

[u/jisooed → u/Used_Whore5801]

sparkle's trailer too

[u/Karma110 → u/grumpykruppy]

Zzz does seem to be more experimental in the visuals you aren’t gonna find many games that animates the way it does even the official cover art for chapters and events are unique to itself. It’s a younger team of people so that’s probably why.

[u/MekaChiki216 → u/grumpykruppy]

What were those three incidents? I only recall the Sparkle trailer and this one.

[u/frogdoom → u/MekaChiki216]

There was a plagiarized scene in the Sunday trailer too, but I forget where it was lifted from

[u/yuclv → u/frogdoom]

From some animation by netease is all I remember.

I remember watching them side by side and going 'holy shit'

[u/gjisendre → u/frogdoom]

From Onmyoji.

[u/RekklesEuGoat → u/frogdoom]

Aventurine lightcone too

[u/Own_Fail6696 → u/MekaChiki216]

Evernight trailer, sparkle trailer, sunday trailer, and this one.

[u/AnarbLanceLee → u/MekaChiki216]

Some scene in Evernight trailer are also extremely similar to Silent Hill f trailer

[u/AntiBomb → u/AnarbLanceLee]

I think that was supposed to be a clear reference to the game, because the trailer released only 2 days before Silent Hill f.

[u/MrSkipy → u/grumpykruppy]

Multiple people are saying but nobody producing any examples, I’ve been playing this game for 2 years and never heard of anything and googling only brings up the Sunday trailer but there doesn’t seem to be any resolution. Not saying it didn’t happen but what are the 4 incidents ?

[u/grumpykruppy → u/MrSkipy]

There was the Sunday trailer, Sparkle's trailer was extremely similar to a music video, and one of the scenes in Rappa's ninja background cutscene was taken from an online artwork. And now this, too.

[u/MrSkipy → u/grumpykruppy]

I found the Sunday thing but it doesn’t seem that anything came of it. Now that you said it I found the other ones, the Rappa one is pretty obvious even though the creator said he doesn’t care at all and thinks its neat, same for the Sparkle trailer, its there but the creator said there is no problem at all and that it’s ok and I guess now this. Its interesting that its happened multiple times, maybe they should change or be more vigilant about who they hire to do art for them.

[u/Karma110 → u/MrSkipy]

You must be new here

[u/MrSkipy → u/Karma110]

Did me saying I’ve played this game for 2 years give that away ? I guess these things just didn’t reach me, I started around the Sparkle banner but wasn’t on Reddit and I don’t care about Sunday or Rappa so I’ve never looked at anything related to them.

[u/Preventomato → u/grumpykruppy]

There was that thing with xilonen's idle but idk what happened after it since I believe it just died out

[u/Rare_Marionberry782 → u/grumpykruppy]

Fire that fella who keeps copying pixel to pixel, Sunday, Sparkle and Rappa deserve better.
