I thought Uncharted was a Tomb Raider clone, now Tomb Raider is an Uncharted clone... |
What? Uncharted was inspired by Indiana Jones, not Tomb Raider. It has almost nothing in comon with Tomb Raider.

Let's see. So, if Tomb Raider never existed, do you seriously think Naughty Dog would of got a green light by Sony to do Uncharted? You actually believe this?
For a game that has "almost nothing" to do with the Tomb Raiders, it is interesting how Uncharted got the nickname "Dude Raider" on forums around the Internet. Really "almost nothing"?
You know, someone can get inspired by a prior franchise and outdo it, to where it becomes king. There are reasons why people think now that the latest Tomb Raider has been inspired by Uncharted, because Uncharted, flat outdid what Tomb Raider did. Similar happened with Unreal Tournament taking the FPS title from Quake. It happens.

when people say Tomb Raider is similar to Uncharted, they're not talking about the genre. They're not talking about the similarity in game type or content. They are talking about style and execution. This new Tomb Raider looks a lot more cinematic than past iterations, and that's the change that people are noticing. |
I will come out here and say again, I am a big fan of the Uncharted franchise. It is one of my favorite series on the PS3, and it did heavily push the envelope onto how to translate cinema experience to a videogame. Execution is top notch all the way. As I said, I am a big fan. If talking style and execution, it blazed a new trail. From a genre perspective, however, Tomb Raider was first. I hold out hope Uncharted has the chance to be the first videogame to make a jump successfully to theater.
