A not too long ago launched RC helicopter sport on PlayStation 4 was a transparent rip off one in every of Grand Theft Auto Vice Metropolis’s worst and most notorious missions. Days after its launch, it’s already been yanked from the shop because it appears Take-Two Interactive seen simply how related it was to the unique sport.
Developed and revealed by ERIK GAMES, HeliCity Demolition Man was launched on August 30 for the PS4 as a digital-only sport. The sport price $2 and was very brief based on of us who performed it, making for a simple Platinum Trophy. Your complete sport was basically an unlicensed remake of Vice Metropolis’s notorious “Demolition Man” mission which noticed Tommy Vercetti flying an RC helicopter round a constructing and utilizing it to plant explosives. And guess what the target of HeliCity Demolition Man is? Yeah, it’s planting bombs round a constructing utilizing an RC heli.
I’d embrace a trailer for the sport right here, however that was yanked from YouTube on account of a copyright criticism from Rockstar Video games’ dad or mum firm Take-Two Interactive. As an alternative, right here’s a video uploaded by another person exhibiting off HeliCity Demolition Man.
It shouldn’t be shocking to be taught that this sport has since been faraway from the PlayStation Retailer. Kotaku has contacted Take-Two Interactive concerning the sport and its removing.
HeliCity isn’t even pretending to be something aside from a Vice Metropolis knockoff. From the HUD to the sound results to even the look of the world, every thing is clearly impressed by or instantly ripped from Vice Metropolis. The realm across the constructing can also be a transparent copy of that very same a part of Vice Metropolis.
Whereas it’s exhausting to consider somebody would develop this sport and attempt to launch it on PlayStation, it’s tougher to wrap my head round how Sony even let this sport make it via the certification course of in any respect. Are there people these video games earlier than they get uploaded to the PSN retailer? It doesn’t seem to be it.
