It's the same engine, it's really not that different. That's like saying Halo 3 ODST is a different game from Halo 3 or Reach. It's the same engine, similar gameplay, even though your not running around like a bad ass with crazy health.

Anyway, why does everything I say PS3 related have to be contested? This isn't even a negative comment, Uncharted is a great game, and this is a really nice change of atmosphere for the engine. I like the game and this is just my opinion of it.


"It's the same engine, it's really not that different."

This is your reasoning for the games playing similarly? Well, that's just wrong. I guess you're going to say Batman is similar to Gears of War since they both use the same engine. The gameplay of TLoU and Uncharted are very different. Uncharted = intense rambo style gunfights & breathtaking platforming. TLoU = survival with a drastically lower emphasis on shooting and probably zero platforming. Why do people say they are similar? No idea.

Batman and Gears of War are made by different developers, and are different genres. Both LoU and Uncharted are cover based shooters with very similar shooting mechanics and only differ in health, ammo, and story (atmosphere, etc).


"That's like saying Halo 3 ODST is a different game from Halo 3 or Reach."

No it's not. You just mentioned three games from the same franchise. All have the same core gameplay. This doesn't apply to TLoU and Uncharted.

But Uncharted and TLoU have the same core gameplay. The shooting, cover, running system all look the same. I admit TLoU looks very different from Uncharted, but it's not that different, not different enough to put it in the same category as Beyond, as opposed to Halo (new dev) and Pikmin 3.


"It's the same engine, similar gameplay"

Ive already mentioned why engine means nothing. And I've already mentioned why their gameplay isn't different.

Yup, lol.


"Anyway, why does everything I say PS3 related have to be contested?"

I don't know. I don't care. It's irrelevant. I don't know why you brought it up. I'm not contesting what you said because it has to do with a PS3 exclusive. I'm contesting what you're saying because it's wrong.

You only say this when I say anything "bad" about PS3. What I said wasn't even negative.


You said Uncharted played a lot like TLoU. That's wrong. They may be slightly similar...maybe, but saying they have a lot of similarities is not just an exxageration, it's wrong. How exactly are they similar? Same engine. Third person view. You can shoot people. That's about all I can think of and I challenge you to give me some specific elements. (i.e. Not elements that cover entire genres).

But wait Uncharted you run around blasting stuff with regenerative health, and The Last of Us is more survival and 1 on 1 kills. Isn't that exactly the different from Halo 3 and ODST? So what you have a different universe or IP

Anyway if you want to whine about this, remember Halo 4 is made by a different developer. It's just as fresh as TLoU, so there is nothing wrong putting them in the same group. Pikmin you can argue, but you really have nothing on this.

and I did say I disliked E3 for everyone except for the bit on TLoU, Beyond, Halo, and Pikmin 3.
