Forums - Gaming Discussion - History of Tomb Raider video shows copying Uncharted restricted lara

Look at the videos and how the character known as Lara Croft really moves. Do you think she'll ever move like this again in Rise of the Tomb Raider? The story for her doesn't exactly work today even though Uncharteds style is battle tested and have been proven to work. Outside of being a rich girl wack job as they've made her out to be trying to "survive". It seems like she moves far slower, is less agile and is far more pretentious than ever. Check out the evolution of Tomb Raider...video and get back at me.

The only enemy available in the first Tomb Raider were wolves?



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

Their both Indiana Jones inspired clones so what does that amount to in the end ?

Tomb Raider has a history of being freer in movement, giving more exploration and being more complex in the ways of moving through a map thn Uncharted. uncharted was created for pacing from one place to another since the game was tailor made to deal with the lack of horsepower in the PS3. Even though I like Uncharted today better for what it is Tomb Raider is lacking what made it stand apart from uncharted. Its trying too hard to be Uncharted, thus restricting lara. Take some parts from Uncharted, fine....but give the less restricted moves and better levels.

Uncharted is like Indiana Jones. Tomb Raider my friend...is not. Her motivations and style don't even closely resemble Indiana Jones. Uncharted captures the comedic elements, flawed nature and quick witted style of Indiana Jones. Lara Croft compared to Nathan Drake doesn't really have a personality and yet it didnt matter.



That video brought back some memories, who still remembers the codes for tomb raider light a flair, hop backwards spin three times or something like that. Anyhow while I still fondly remember the old tr even with the tank controls( tr legends was a very good game though improved controls and gameplay) I just have no desire to play that recent tr. I dont know what it is maybe it just tried to be too realistic or something but it just feels off.

"in my opinion" actually he is right, both inspired by Indiana Jones, while Uncharted is more of third person Cinematic action adventure, the original tomb Rider was more of platform adventure (Mario+Indiana Jones). But indeed the new Tomb Rider games actually a blatant copy of Uncharted gameplay style with more of action cinematic.

Underrated indeed.



I think I might be in the minority here, but I actually enjoyed the Tomb Raider reboot more than any of the three Uncharted games. I'm not sure what it was, the smoother movement, the more open world, optional areas, platforming segments, or all of the above, but I found myself having a better time with it. And I do love the Uncharted games, so I'm not saying they suck or anything.

I really hope Rise of the Tomb Raider doesn't try too hard to be Uncharted. The first one was fine as it is. It doesn't need any more inspiration. We're already getting Uncharted 4.
