Heavily, heavily inspired by Uncharted 2. I remember in an interview the co-founder of ninja theory and director of this game saying that in his opinion Uncharted 2 was the best game of this generation but unfortunately it came out too soon to have an impact on Enslaved. Bullshit. It came out a year ago which was plenty of time to add an influence to the game and it shows. Very cinematic and a lot of the animations when platforming remind me of drake's. You might think I'm complaining but quite to the contrary. Seeing the simularities between this and Uncharted 2 just made me add this to my day 1 must buy list. Any game that reminds me of the best game ever is good enough for my cash.

You know that Uncharted 2 isn't the only game they could have drawn inspiration from, right? Like Uncharted 1 for example.

Uncharted 1 didn't have the cinematic flair that Uncharted 2 did. And what made the big difference? The camera angles and how they were incorperated into big epic scenes. I'm not saying that scenarios or gameplay were stolen from Uncharted 2 by enslaved. Only that they obviously went back and incorporated the cinematic camera into their action scenes after Uncharted 2 (which most def. could have been done in a years time) and maybe a few inspirations to the platforming as well.
|
Or maybe they came up with those themselves? Just because they've been done in Uncharted 2 doesn't mean they couldn't have come up with those themselves, and Heavenly Sword was very cinematic when they did that, so I don't find that unlikely at all.

Is it possible? Yea sure. But unlikely imo. No game before Uncharted 2 incorporated the cinematic camera in the same way as UC2. UC2 was praised by critics for the use of the cinematic camera. I don't see how it's so unbelievable to you that this inspired Enslaved, even after the Director praised that particular aspect of UC2 in an interview on gametrailers. Maybe you haven't played the demo yet but it's not just that the game incorporates cinematic moments but that they are presented almost copy and paste from similar moments from UC2. If you haven't played them both then please do and tell me if you still find it so unlikely.

I've platinum'ed Uncharted 2 and I've just played through the Enslaved demo, so I know the comparison well enough. I'm simply saying that I find it very likely that they would have thought of this and implemented it in some form before Uncharted 2 released. Copying Uncharted 2 is not a bad thing as such, it just isn't fair to say that they copy pasted this feature from U2, when they might as easily have figured it out themselves. They released Heavenly Sword before Naughty Dog released Uncharted after all.
But I guess there's not much point arguing this, so let's agree to disagree?
