Uncharted vs Gears

I just watched a video of Kill.Switch and the only thing resembling Gears is the aspect of cover itself. Gears has added many new elements such as sliding into cover, blind firing, swat turning, climbing over cover, shoulder firing while aiming under cover. Every game has a previous game you can find a similarity with, but that doesn't mean the new game is copying aspects. Gears is the game to which all cover aspect games will be compared and I guarantee every game will fall short of the perfect cover system in Gears.

I don't think anyone said Gears of War flat-out copied kill.switch. But it's clear that Epic were inspired by the cover system in kill.switch, which is fine, since they evolved it to a whole new level.

 

Uncharted didn't bring anything new to the table, but it combines third person shooting and platforming very well along with a strong cinematic experience.

 

Those are what makes those 2 games stand out, although I will also say that Gears is more innovative than Uncharted. But neither game is TRULY innovative in their core gameplay aspect.
