So to start off I assume everyone is familiar with the rivalry bettween Pixar and Dreamworks animation, and their history of dualing titles Antz/A Bug's Life, Shrek/Monster's inc Finding Nemo/Shark Tail etc
Well it seems like Gaming has two studios that look to be starting their own
First off there is the fact that early drafts of Uncharted featured an underwater city much like rapture , well the two studios seem to be steping it up a notch with The Last of Us and Bioshock: Infinite
Both titles feature a dystopian setting, that the players must navigate, where sosiaty is breaking down and mob rule has risen to power
Both feature humans as their primary enemies and have non zombie "mutant" enemies
Both star a main character who is a middle aged male with a chekered past, Bioshock has Booker DeWitt an ex Pinkerton agent who was disgraced and kicked out for his extream methods, TLOU has Joel a smugler who has tortured and killed to survive.
Both games feature a young female sidekick that can hold their own in a fight, that is controlled by AI, who both yearn to escape their homes. TLOU has Ellie a young orphan girl who knows nothing about the world outside the military quarantine zone she grew up in, Bioshock has Elizibeth a young girl who knows nothing about the world outside the tower she has been held captive in on Columbia.
The player characters have both been hired to rescue the female character from their homes in mysterious circumstances.
Both games will require the two main characters to use their different abilities to navigate the enviroment and solve puzzles.
and nether game will feature co-op and both games feature different human factions all have different goals
Discuss
P.S. This is not an attack on either game or studio
