WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.480 Hi there and welcome back to GLTV News, I'm Alex, as always going through the afternoons 00:07.480 --> 00:10.760 latest and greatest when it comes to gaming, technology, entertainment, whatever you like 00:10.760 --> 00:14.520 and indeed whatever you love, we're always here for you at GLTV News and the wider Gamereactor 00:14.520 --> 00:15.520 network as a whole. 00:15.520 --> 00:18.480 So if you like what you see and you want to see more, be sure to check out Gamereactor 00:18.480 --> 00:22.760 wherever you get it from for more gaming reviews, gaming previews, movie reviews, series reviews, 00:22.760 --> 00:25.560 exclusives, interviews, world news, sports news and of course so much more. 00:25.560 --> 00:29.520 Without further ado though today, we're talking once more and hopefully for the last time 00:29.520 --> 00:34.920 about Sony and Tencent's Horizon lawsuit or the Light of Martyram lawsuit as you might 00:34.920 --> 00:36.520 be aware of it. 00:36.520 --> 00:42.080 Basically if you're not aware of this whole scenario, Tencent revealed a game called Light 00:42.080 --> 00:48.280 of Martyram which according to Sony and according to a lot of people online, looked exactly 00:48.280 --> 00:53.600 like Sony's Horizon franchise with robotic animals being brought to life, humanity being 00:53.600 --> 01:01.960 sent back to sort of a primal culture inspired by pre-history and it was essentially deemed 01:01.960 --> 01:06.480 a Horizon clone by much of the internet and especially by Sony which is what matters here 01:06.480 --> 01:08.840 because they took it to court. 01:08.840 --> 01:14.800 So as Iric writes here, it was accused of being a shameless clone and then in the courtrooms 01:14.800 --> 01:21.520 they were battling it out, basically Tencent arguing you don't own the ideas of robotic 01:21.520 --> 01:26.480 animals nor do you own the ideas of post-apocalyptic worlds or things like that whereas Sony said 01:26.480 --> 01:30.880 come on lads, this is a bit different than just we're calling you out for a post-apocalyptic 01:30.880 --> 01:35.280 game or things like that but anyway, court documents reveal they've reached a confidential 01:35.280 --> 01:39.840 settlement but it's quite clear to see what the terms of that settlement may be considering 01:39.840 --> 01:44.440 Light of Martyram as Iric writes here, has been completely removed from the Steam and 01:44.440 --> 01:46.200 Epic Games storefronts. 01:46.200 --> 01:50.920 So it's basically been booted out of existence and likely won't be making any sort of release 01:50.920 --> 01:51.920 any time soon. 01:51.920 --> 01:56.040 The game's website is still up and running so you can go and find that if you want any 01:56.040 --> 02:01.160 more Light of Martyram news but I don't think this is going to be around for a long time 02:01.160 --> 02:07.400 as Iric writes as well because Sony seems to have won the case pretty handily or got 02:07.400 --> 02:10.480 what they wanted which is Light of Martyram no longer existing. 02:10.480 --> 02:16.320 As we know, Horizon is going into a lot of different phases. 02:16.320 --> 02:22.720 As we see, I believe there was an MMO announced, NCSoft's Horizon Still Frontiers and Guerrilla's 02:22.720 --> 02:26.400 multiplayer Horizon game in the future so Sony has enough Horizon irons in the fire 02:26.400 --> 02:30.920 that they don't need to worry about a competitor trying to stir things up in Light of Martyram. 02:30.920 --> 02:36.380 Whether Light of Martyram would have succeeded or not is a bit unknown but yeah, it's almost 02:36.380 --> 02:41.720 like Pokemon and Power World but in the case of Light of Martyram it's very clearly inspired 02:41.720 --> 02:47.320 by Sony's works and if you know about the documents you'll know that Tencent as well 02:47.320 --> 02:51.720 initially wanted to make a Horizon game and kept trying to get Sony into the office to 02:51.720 --> 02:56.520 talk about making a Horizon game but Sony just didn't want them to do it and so then 02:56.520 --> 02:59.720 it seems they decided, well, we'll do it on our own. 02:59.720 --> 03:03.160 So yeah, unfortunately the end of Light of Martyram, if you were looking forward to it 03:03.160 --> 03:06.240 or did you just think it was a clone and you knew exactly what was going to happen here, 03:06.240 --> 03:09.880 let me know whatever you think on this case and I'll see you tomorrow for some more GRTV 03:09.880 --> 03:10.880 news.
