After a turbulent begin to 2023, The Previous day is now being accused of ripping off games like Call Of Duty, The Last Of Us and Tom Clancy's The Division.
Earlier this season, Fntastic promised a gameplay reveal trailer for The Day Before could be released in January. However, developers postponed both launch of the game and also the premier of the trailer because of legal issues that stemmed from Fntastic forgetting to trademark the name of their game.
The Day Before had been due for release March 1 but due to those issues, Fntastic pushed the release back to November 10 to allegedly give the studio adequate time for you to sort things out. However, they still went ahead using the launch from the trailer – not too fans were impressed.
Advertised as “raw gameplay footage”, the 10-minute video saw a player running down a street, exploring an abandoned house, fiddling about using their inventory and opening some cupboards. They eventually shoot some zombies but because one fan commented “For a game title which was previously meant to come out this month, this sure is a-unique gameplay reveal.”
“Best jogging simulator I've ever seen,” wrote another fan.
Following a clip, YouTube channel Force Gaming posted a number of images that highlighted the similarities between The Day Before‘s trailer and also the original showcase for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War‘s zombies mode.
“The Day Before is the epitome of 'Can I copy your research?',” wrote Force Gaming. “First 4 scenes in their recent 10 minute gameplay video? Shot for shot the same (composition and framing) as CoD Black Ops Zombies Trailer.”
Force Gaming then continued to talk about similarities between The Day Before's logo and the main one used by The Last People, while “one of the most used screenshots looks awfully familiar to 1 from The Division.”
“In case you think it’s pure coincidence. Not just may be the framing, composition, and colouring similar. They’re also within the identical order, one by one,” wrote Force Gaming. “It’s like they’re unsure what to do, so that they go and merely copy whatever is popular.”
“If you’re following The Day Before for anything apart from to look at the trainwreck you’re setting yourself up for disappointment,” they added.
Fntastic founders Eduard and Aisen Gotovtsev have hit back at claims that The Day Before is a scam, following numerous delays and controversy over the utilization of unpaid “volunteers”.
“It is unpleasant to listen to such accusations,” said an argument, with the pair starting with write: “We hope that after the game's success, we'll give people faith that in this life, if you persevere toward a dream, it will come true, despite all the obstacles and doubts.”
