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.

I'm curious..what parts showed influence exactly?
