I fired up the old PS3 and 360 and played a few Uncharted and Tomb Raider games..  The instances of blatant copying were rampant.  I can't believe that people have the audacity to say Tomb Raider copied!

First, look at Lara's sidekick from Tomb Raider Anniversary (remake of the original Tomb Raider from 1996).  It's beloved character Sherpa McGhee!  You can obviously see the similarities between him and Uncharted's Sully.  Almost a pallet swap of the same character.  

Now, look at the instruction manuals.  See something?  BOTH have a worn leather looking front page and the interior have pages with fake coffee spills, fingerprints, wear and tear, etc.  But who did it first?  TOMB RAIDER!  Once again, Uncharted shows it can't be original.  SMH.

And finally both characters drive jeeps?

Not to mention that Tomb Raider Underworld had Lara escaping from the bowels of a sinking ship.....just like Uncharted 3!!  So there you have it.  Not an original bone in Uncharted's body.  Even Uncharted 2's "Escape from an area that's collapsing all around you" is a blatant copy of the original Tomb Raider when Atlanatis was exploding.  Naughty God?  Oh, they've been veeeeeery naughty, alright.  Friggin' thieves.

HOLY CRAP!

Time to Boycott the series!

Yeah, pull the other one. Next you'll be telling me Saints Row is a copy of GTA or Forza is a copy of Gran Turismo.

Must be a slow day.

Forza and Gran Turismo both rip off Mario Kart 64.  Select a vehicle and drive around?  Sound familiar?

And Saints Row and GTA are both rip offs of Mario Kart 64.  Drive a vehicle and cause mischief?  Sound familar?

I rest my case.

You know, though, I think 9 out of 10 game manuals have gone with the "aged and worn leather journal" look. It's way past annoying. I sigh ever time I come across one.

Also, that's the squarest vehicle I've ever seen.

Now that is some gaming journalism. Move over games media. 

Honour among theives huh. Something like that. 

My god! It's so true! I should also e-mail Panasonic, and tell them to stop ripping off Samsung remote controls....

A revelations that shook me up!

No need to yell.  I understand you're a fan of Uncharted.  I knew this thread would be contrversial when I made it.  I'm willing to accept the fallout from what is obviously an unpopular opinion.  I just assumed that you would have an open mind and at least look at the photographic evidence.  No need for all of the name calling and personal attacks.  We can all be adults about this.
