Well Uncharted comes from Resident Evil 4, so I think we should call it the RE4ization of modern games as it is truly the basis for most modern day games... especially 3rd person ones.

Have to disagree here. Uncharted felt nothing like RE4. If anything, the only Uncharted title even similar in perspective was Among Thieves, and that's truly having to grasp (with its over-the-shoulder camera - but Uncharted's was still fully 3D while RE4's was not). If anything, Gears of War felt more like RE4 than any Uncharted title.

Regardless, even though Uncharted offers much of its own bits and pieces, it is nothing but an upping of previously successful ideas with Naughty Dog's polish and talent.

Well of course it isn't exactly like it haha.  I would hope a game made in 2007 wouldn't feel like a game made on a system 2 years earlier on older hardware haha.  It's exactly as you said at the end... it ups "previously successful ideas with Naughty Dog's polish and talent".  I also wouldn't argue that Uncharted or Gears of War play like RE4.  All 3 have different mechanisms and atmospheres.  But the inspiration, I think, clearly comes from RE4.

RE4 had an impact on the 3rd person genre, no doubt about that, a HUGE one. I just didn't feel, outside of the shooting, that Uncharted was much like it

Well at least we can both agree that it had a huge impact on the 3rd person genre as that was the only reason I posted in this thread haha.
