pressure from xbox shooters? like which shooters exactly...

Obviously Gears of War.

 

And I always new there was something special about Uncharted

i dont find gears of war that interesting.. looks like a clunky slow game with guys on steriods lol

whether you like it or not isn't the point. when I first played uncharted (I can't remember if it was 1 or 2) I remember thinking early on the guys that made it had obviously played GEARs. The influence undeniable but I don't see why that's such a bad thing. It was obvious from the get go that UNCHARTED wasn't exactly original. It came out at a time where it appeared as if sony had lost their exclusives so they needed something that could compete with the original ips coming out for the competition...and hey it worked.
