Uncharted: Drake's Fortune began development in 2004, Gears started at roughly the same time (with an even smaller team of 30 people, which I found shocking). Uncharted was then revealed in 2006 and released in 2007, while Gears was released one year before hand and was first announced in mid 2005. What I don't get is how Uncharted took influence from Gears and implemented those influences (the main gameplay mechanic in the game) within a year. The fantasy take on the franchise was obviously in concept art stages, they didn't take a game and turn it into Uncharted, they were just forced into creating Uncharted over a different type of game. I'm willing to bet that the developer is referring to the original Xbox and it's games like Halo, Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon. I could be all wrong though, I just found it odd that people referred to Gears as an influence when they were both roughly in development at the same time. |
thats what i got out of this.
especially since Uncharted would have already been under development for almost a year by the time we knew much about gears of war
