Original characters made up like half the list.

That dog is very much canon and is NOT a guest. He has his own backstory within the game and is prominently featured in the novella! The actual guest characters (Rash, Arbiter, and Raam) have neither.
Well the thing is with Saberwulf is were it not for the Saber Wulf game Saberwulf wouldnât existâŠmaybe a werewolf, but not Saberwulf. And yes they made him cannon, but weâre kinda splitting hairs here when whatever you call it weâre talking about bringing in characters from other games into KI. Whether theyâre here to stay or not, or whether they become cannon or not, well thatâs still up in the air as thereâs not a KI2 (4) yet, nor is this game completed.
You have shown no proof whatsoever that otherwise proves that what you say is true. So far, itâs all only speculationâŠ
Proof of whatâŠthat there was a ZX Spectrum game called Saber Wulf that featured a blue wolf named Saberwulf, made by Ultimate Play the Game (aka Rare)?? Itâs in Rare Replay.
@GalacticGeek @WrathOfFulgore This conversation is going nowhere fast.
I know it is, but that doesnât mean that he was, in any way, influenced by it. For all we know, it couldâve been 2 entirely different development teams. Unless you can find some sort of interview of sorts where itâs actually stated or something, I am going to choose to NOT believe it. There, I have expressed reasonable doubt - itâs up to you to prove otherwise.

I agree.
So if I was to create a game about an Italian plumber named Mario who wears red, has a mustache, eats mushrooms and collects coins, would there be any reasonable doubt that it was heavily influenced by or a direct rip-off of Nintendoâs flagship franchise?
Pretty sure Nintendoâs lawyers would say âno.â
Itâs the same with this; it seems pretty clear that Sabrewulf in KI is at the very least heavily influenced by the earlier game (except Rare made that one, too) if the two games arenât canonically connected in any other way.
I am curious to see what the overall numbers for this survey will show, and I wonder whether the character choices like âENT Aganosâ and âSharkman TJâ are representative of additional costume/accessory sets, or concepts for brand new characters which have some kind of gameplay connection to the existing character listed with it.

That was exactly me.
I put the suggestion of a Gorgon in there. Slither must be realized!

A company canât sue itself. The 2 Sabrewulfs may have influenced 1 another, but are NOT canonically connected.
Thank you for being purposefully obtuse and ignoring the entire point I was trying to make. I was directly refuting your previous stance;
Obviously RARE wouldnât sue itself, the point is that itâs clear that the Sabrewulf character was influenced by the earlier game, and to make an analogy that if I was to make a game with a character who is almost identical to Mario, Nintendo would have their lawyers on me pretty quickly.
I really didnât think I needed to explain the analogy, to be honest.
I was reneging on what I had said previously - thatâs why I had included the line in my last post that said that âthey may have influenced 1 anotherâ while also reinforcing my stance against what @WrathOfFulgore had said (in that theyâre canonically connected, because theyâre not). I only mentioned the âsueingâ aspect because your Mario reference doesnât make sense in this particular scenario as it involves only 1 company, not 2 (and yes, I knew what you were getting at - I simply chose to ignore it, like you said).
WhaâŠI never saidâŠ(looks above)
âŠoh I see, you misunderstood me. No, I wasnât saying that the wolf from Saber Wulf is KIâs cannon SaberwulfâŠstory-wise anyway. But Saberwulf is a character that was so heavily influnced by its predecessor he is essentially a âguestâ, albeit a cannon oneâŠok, now Iâm starting to confuse even myselfâŠ
Guest by name and design, cannon (KI cannon, not Saber Wulf cannon) by storyâŠthatâs what Iâm trying to get across.
They should release a preview on my birthday, July 15th. I donât care if itâs a guest.
