Genshin Impact dev says Breath of the Wild comparisons took a toll on the studio

When Mihoyo unveiled Genshin Impact for PS4, many noted the game was inspired by BOTW. Some fans of BOTW are upset that Sony is promoting this game because of the similarities + they think it’s shameless of Sony.

Wei reveals these allegations took a bit of a toll on developers at miHoYo. Many at the studio were left wondering what they had done wrong, and where all the anger from people around the world was coming from. Others, though, saw it as a challenge, to make Genshin Impact as good as it possibly could be to denounce the allegations.

Hoyoverse also acknowledged the Breath of the Wild comparisons after the game's launch. In a 2020 interview, a representative for the studio told GamesRadar+:

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the most popular and respected titles in the industry, and one which our staff hold in high regard. In a post that our team circulated to players last year, we mentioned that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was one of our inspirations for creating Genshin Impact as an open-world action RPG. We will be the first to admit that there is a great gap between Genshin Impact and established titles like BOTW – this motivates us to keep improving Genshin Impact and to work towards closing that gap."

          Yup. I've been saying this for the past 3 years. The actual impressive parts about BotW were integration of physics and chemistry engines into every aspect of the game, as well as open ended progression and emergent gameplay.
          All of those actually require effort to implement well, but people saw cell-shaded artstyle, climbing and gliding and called Genshin "BotW clone"

        Both are open world action games with light RPG elements and mediocre combat focused on exploring to find random trash loot and pointless collectibles/stamina upgrades so you can explore more empty space or solve more basic grade school puzzles. The comparison isn't unwarranted.

      How do you laud Botw as being a new genre trendsetter and then get upset when it sets a trend? Especially when that trend is as loose as "open world exploration with a climbing system", the gameplay and the gameplay loop are both nothing alike.

    GI is BOTW but good. That's always been the case.

Not to say BotW was a masterpiece, just that I dont see GI doing anything meaningfully better. I dont look to argue, I'm simply curious.

        You get 4 characters and you combo their skills on rotations. Its not super complicated, but not a one button gameplay for sure. But its hard to experiment with builds when characters are locked behind the timed paywall
        Exploring is arguably better in Genshin. Less sandbox elements, perhaps.

            Never, this chinks are hell bent in not adding any new weapon types. Different playstyles like punching (Heizou, Wriothesley) actually use catalysts.
            Shield or crossbows get summoned by your skills or as part of the attack string (Candace and Mika, possibly Captain R weaving in Flintlock shots).
            I can see why they do this though, I can just give any of the same weapons I already have to any new character.

        The combat is not what you think it is. It's about comboing 4 characters together spamming elemental attacks to trigger elemental reactions, managing cooldowns, energy, constantly swapping characters etc. You are thinking of some more traditional RPG combat where you swing, block and dodge. The combat is absolutely nothing like BOTW. Look up some Abyss gameplay of Genshin on Youtube to take a look at the combat system.

      botw:
      no paywalls besides the initial purchase
      no timegates to progress
      no predatory monetization
      fun gameplay
      fleshed out world, world feels alive, npcs have their unique routines and a life besides waiting for you to interact with them
      engaging quests that dont involve hours of un skippable dialogue
      simple combat even if it is flawed by dumb enemy ai
      customization, armor sets with bonuses
      genshin:
      everything is paywalled
      everything is timegated
      characters and weapons arent free, only some are given to you for free, the rest is locked behind paywalls and pure luck
      lifeless world with npcs waiting for you to interact with them
      combat gameplay is just this: use character 1 skill/ult, swap out, use character 2 skill/ult, swap out, repeat endlessly
      hours upon hours of really badly written un skippable dialogue
      only some characters have cosmetics, half of which are again paywalled
      i admit genshin has better world design and soundtrack, but it is meaningless when the world itself feels lifeless and the game is far from fun

          You don't know what you're talking about. Only character and weapons are paywalled, and that's only if you want everything. You CAN get them for free. You could have easily made the argument that characters are how you experience the rest of the content and therefore the most meaningfully gameplay is paywalled, but like I said, you are ignorant.

          you can spoof amiibo
          and what part of initial purchase do you not understand? we arent comparing dlc, we are comparing what content is locked in the base game
          botw doesnt lock weapons and armor sets behind paywalls, genshit locks characters and weapons behind paywalls
          nice cope though
          and it is pretty amusing that you didnt address the world building part
          seems like even you admit the world in genshit is just a pretty scenery while the world in botw is fleshed out and feels believable

          why does stating that genshin copied things from botw make genshin fans so angry? it says nothing about the quality of the game, and it's mostly just surface level shit anyway, but it's still obvious if you've played both of them

                Mao killed 100 million people via starvation during the revolutions. The resulting population is only the worst of the worst of the worst of the chinese people left.
                Ironically, the best were the ones that listened to Mao and did what they thought would help the most people, they were just really really dumb because they were communist. All the respectable chinese were literally genocided by chinese.

                i cant inject c6r5 characters in genshin's legit account
                i can however do the equivalent in botw's legit save file
                you can cope all you want, you cannot change this reality
                the only additional paid content in botw is the $20 dlc
                so that makes it a $80 game where i can unlock everything without putting any more money into it, compared to a f2p game with additional purchases required to unlock everything else that is not given for free, which includes r5-ing pass weapons, paid cosmetics, pass exclusive backgrounds, etc
                the combat gameplay is just a subjective preference
                to each their own i guess

        You don't know what you're talking about. Only character and weapons are paywalled, and that's only if you want everything. You CAN get them for free. You could have easily made the argument that characters are how you experience the rest of the content and therefore the most meaningfully gameplay is paywalled, but like I said, you are ignorant.

        The glider is the big one, and you missed that. Setting fire to the ground to create an updraft to use your glider was also from BotW, but the only thing you can do in Genshin Impact with that is do a ground pound rather than a bullet time attack with your bow and arrow.

        Every mechanic Genshin Impact copied from another game always feels like it's worse than the game it copied from, as if they don't understand why that mechanic was good in the first place.

            I’m not saying they didn’t get inspiration from botw but being this much of a baby about it from 3 year ago is crazy. Genshin has more than changed so you can’t even call it a clone with all the different zones, characters, and other stuff in it.

      It's the exact same game except replacing weapons breaking so you don't walk around with the best weapons all of the time with having to spend $1,200 every month or else you don't walk around with the best weapons all of the time. The difference is so minor that, replacing the protagonist of Genshin with Link, more people than not would be unable to identify which of the two were the actual Zelda game with 10 minutes of gametime.

          I fricking hate this comic, it's so fricking moronic. Iphone is not a necessity, it is a luxury gadget with closed ecosystem. Buying Iphone, specifically, is a choice. The car frame, I suppose, is just a sudden author's seizure because I can't connect the dots what the frick it supposed to represent. He could bought a car with a seatbelt. ??????
          And the comparison of a literal medieval slave who can't step outside the farm without being beheaded and 1st worlder who absolutely can stop buying luxury products and participate in improvements of his local community is just ultra mega gorilla Black person moronic. But the most horrible thing was that this comic supposed to defend people like Hasan Piker or AOC, aka, millionaires who pretend to protect the working class.

Tetris is the closest thing to a perfect puzzle game alongside Panel de Pon and Puyo Puyo Tsuu/Sun, and if Candy Crush offers solid puzzle-gaming mechanics, then it, too, can be considered a near perfect game in its simplicity.

      I can see a lot of the early game heavily borrowing from it, making deviations here and there, but the game is it's own thing now.
      But most of these, I can't take seriously, swinging a long sword, breaking rocks, collecting shit is hardly copying, you're just hurting your point that was pretty solid without these.

      Genshin is about exploring the world with an emphasis on the characters, teams and fighting.
      BOTW is about exploration and survival.
      Anybody who's played them can tell the difference easily.

            Lasting reputation, novel contributions to games as a whole, and personal impact on my life (i.e. how often I think of the game when I'm not playing it.)

            Profit is easy to measure and investors care about it more than anything else, but that doesn't make it the sole or even best measure of success. When criticizing a subjective experience you really need to use subjective measures for goodness and success. This is a video game board, not an Activision Blizzard shareholder's meeting.

      I played Tears of the Kingdom, and it caused me to stop playing Genshin Impact; the only thing I liked about GI was that you could more easily grab things, and my complaint about launching an enemy off a cliff and then it despawning and respawning with full HP was also a thing in TotK when the depths started getting silver enemies with a tonne of HP that would despawn cause they get too far away from their camp. Exploring the depths with your makeshift vehicles or totally blind was way more fun in ToTK than my forgettable experience in Chasm. It was really only the desert region in Sumeru where I formed a positive opinion of Genshin Impact story and level design.

          Again, are you mentally ill? It isn't like Genshin Impact went back in time and decided to copy Hydelide, which is the game Zelda has been copying. They eye-balled Zelda and a bunch of other games like Nier Automata, copied them without understanding why those games are good. The only thing Genshin Impact has that is genuinely well done is the visuals and that's cause Wei can more easily tell his team of monkey artists to do this and that to make it good, but he's unable to tell them about why having a slowly regenerating stamina wheel is bad, bad, bad.

              Before Genshin Impact, I never heard of the composer for their music, and then there's articles about him being some sort of genius with a filmography of movies that are literal 'what film is that?'. That poster is being facetious saying GI is 99% copy of BotW; the Chinese don't like that, instead they copy everything to create a Frankenstein's monster. And that composer, I bet, just copied music he heard elsewhere; there's no way someone as young as him is somehow a genius at every musical genre with such a pathetic filmography.

            How about you actually play the game instead of seething, moron? Combat, questing and progression are completely different from BotW. Only traversal is similar and even that only on the surface level since BotW has mounts and Genshin instead uses traversal skills like double jumping and hovering.

        It's A BOTW clone per the developers. Play it and you'll get it immediately.
        The boss of the game is also a Ganon stand in with Skull Kid's general face shape, it's pretty intentional that it is a BOTW clone (focus was off combat to give a "walking simulator" vibe like what BOTW attempted).

          not really. every single side scroller was called a mario clone or whatever back in the day

          people have always said stupid shit, through every era, and it's been just as stupid. of course you have no perspective on this

          genshin "ripped off" two mechanics from botw that both predate botw by a decade or more, it did copy botw's implementation pretty closely, and that's fine, because the game now vastly exceeds both botw and its sequel, which is an embarrassment to gaming on the whole.

          >they never saw the real problem
          there isn't any real problem. The game is the most successful game by profit per day of all time, and players love it all the world around.

              way to succinctly show you were not around in the 8-bit era, because that term was absolutely applied to EVERY side-scrolling game. hence the dissolution of your ridiculous "point"

              >when the world is an order of magnitude larger and more detailed than botw's world
              Dude, genshin's world is fricking tiny. Have you ever actually played any other open world games?

              you know because you looked at the map right? 🙂

              botw's world has *absolutely nothing* in it compared to genshin impact. i'm not sure if it's physically larger, it might be, but the design density is basically 0-- giant flat plains. genshin impact has over 10x the design density per meter compared to botw, the worlds aren't comparable. genshin impact's is an order of magnitude larger by density, landmarks, actual gameplay etc and i'm pretty sure it's now larger by sheer land size as of today.

              people who dispute this are simply wrong. it's objectively comparable and botw loses badly. what you think something is like doesn't matter.

              >support your argument.
              Chinese are known globally for this type of behavior.
              Canada and Australia both had to ban chinese people from owning real estate recently. You have a problem when nations need to make organized laws to stop the behavior you deem normalized.

              you're actually a bot. you don't know what "support your argument means"

              "chinese are known for this" does not support your argument

              you said genshin impact ripped off botw and did it badly. genshin impact directly rip's off botw's climbing and gliding. how is it done badly? you are unable to answer. you cannot support the perspective you have taken.

        Western games haven't ripped each other in such shameless ways like Chinks rip off western media in decades. And even when western media copy features from something else, they bother to actually do it with consideration and analize what made said feature good, how it would fit their game and how it could be done better. Chinka don't do that. They just grab artstyles, mechanics, features and gameplay elements like they're candy then slap them onto their games with zero thought. Because they don't care about quality, they just care that the game has more features for "depth" and that it resembles a successful western product.

    Genshin may be similar to BOTW/TOTK when it comes to pure graphics, but the character design/animation/artistic direction is clearly different. nint that zelda was unique, they clearly were inspired by Miyazaki.
    but having played both BOTW/TOTK for hundreds of hours, and also having spent a good amount of money on Genshin impact, I can say that these games are very, very different from eachother.

    so, maybe it was Tencent pushing this narrative, or dumb zoomers making comparison.
    who cares? also, mihoyo has made millions, I really doubt they care now.
    also nintendo made millions, everyone won

    The game is rotten to the core because it's a f2p gacha. It will quite literally never be better than anything zelda.
    Botw (and totk) are real games which push the boundaries of game design, and is a complete experience available at a set price with no bullshit.
    Genshin is a live service casino.
    They're not even in the same league.

                chinks always make that kind of numbers explode because of how many there are. The west probably represent like 10% of genshin players.
                I don't even give a shit about that kind of dick length contest anyway, mobile games also destroy console/pc games if you only look at numbers, yet we know how shitty they are.
                Genshin and gachas are a blight on the industry and it's sad to see how many Black folk like you gave up on trying to resist the microtransactions and shitty business practices that kind of game brings, just because it's slightly better than other chink crap

                Like most AAA games don't have microtransactions and shitty business practices already. That battle was lost long ago, and it's because of the growth in popularity of video games with the 7th gen consoles. Even having to pay to play online became more normalized. F2P and live service is the way of the future for a lot of games now unfortunately, and it'll be that way for a while.

              In every genshin thread nobody talks about zelda at all, they just talk about the game, other than some troll with a vendetta to start shit. People do complain about story and content drying up though most are on point. Only in shit like this where bothgames are brought up does shit hit the fan

              Meanwhile almost every zelda thread people are critiquing, shitting on it, bringing up complaints, in depth talks about some problem like certain mechanics, you name it. People even bring other games and fandoms into it like elden ring, and recently balders gate. The only ones i see unnaffected by this are the waifu threads or gay furry threads., the former having a recent ntr push back

                On Ganker however, you can't have a genshin thread without genshin being shilled at the expense of Zelda.

                Zelda threads almost never talk about Genshin or any other game series for that matter bar ACgay and Eric doing their usual shtick screaming about trannies and the "Shitch" and how Zelda is the worst game to exist because it's too cinematic, ER is just "better" with no elaboration or how it'll lose GOTY to BG3. No one really takes these posts seriously or springboards into full discussion and often times they just call Eric a homosexual for bringing up unrelated games.

                >Im sure I'm still wrong in your eyes no matter what i say
                Well, yeah.
                If what you said adhered to reality then there would be no problem but it seems like you've just gone off of second hand accounts of Zelda threads instead of actually going into them. Granted with the seven year shitposting crusade against Zelda I wouldn't recommend it anyway but I digress.
                In any case, you're either ignorant of the situation, fell for these posts

                or have a personal bias for some unknown reason.

                it's good because it's hidden. The core monetizing tool for the most profitable game in the history of gaming is well hidden and normal players have to actually fiddle around quite a bit to find it. Mind blown, isn't it?
                F2P actually can do everything in this game even the hardest content.
                BUT
                F2P as in playing the game and use all the game resources including the free gacha currency without paying.
                NOT
                playing the game without engaging with the gacha even if it costs nothing to do so.

                there is no "buy" "pay" or "demo" over. Even in the newest region when they introduce new mechanics they make sure a completely new player can engage in all aspects of the game without paying by giving you a free character.

              Do you know any of these? Hell, genshin discussion is practically dead on social media too.
              >>new downloads doesn't matter
              Oh wow, you really have no understanding of gacha players.
              Do you know what rerolling is? It's when you delete the game to erase your data and redownload it to get the initial in game currency again until you get a roll you like.

                >profits does
                it makes more profit than Sony lmao. Just one game. Imagine how much they will make by the end of this year

                it's pretty alive on twitter, tiktok, reddit.

                >gacha players
                no honey, genshin is a mainstream game. An avg player is 35 yo, professional playing 1 hours a day max. No one has time to "reroll." Your worldview and knowledge are as big as your wallet kek

                Your average genshin player is a basement dwelling neet constantly rerolling for the right character using their parents money to pay for it.

                at least say something that makes sense. If they pay, they would have just at least bought a starter account instead.
                what a moron.

                genshitgays can't even decide on a single defense vector

                the game does not block you from everything. You block yourself by being butthurt about your poverty. It's like a poorgay cannot appreciate a Michelin star dinner.

    At this point I feel like it's pointless to argue with anybody on this site. Everybody has a side and will defend anything negative about it and attack others.
    You can't have proper conversations.

    Anybody unbiased is called a centrist or something too.

    I don't care about the feelings of Chinese government-owned game developers. Maybe they should've made their own game instead of copying BotW and Three Houses.
