Gears influenced he first half of the gen, but Uncharted ultimately ran withe the show, Star Wars 1313, Tomb Raider, InFamous, and other more successful looking games have taken a page out of its book.

Agree with the bold (particularly 2007 and '08). By 2009, games of the gen had come into their own, and the Gears cloning had slowed to a minimum. Uncharted has had a recent surge of similarly designed cinematics and character interactions, but I feel this has had minimal impact as well.

To carry the influence torch, in my eyes, you have to have made an impact like no other games before and continue to do so. Call of Duty and Wii Sports are about as impactful as we've seen all generation.

Star Wars 1313 comparison

The game ripped Uncharted just like the last Star Wars game ripped off God of War. I mean the animations are so similar.

Wow, hadn't seen this before. The similarities are striking, even down to the way the Stars Wars character runs and jumps.


Yep. The Tomb Raider devs even admitted they took from Uncharted, but they responded "they took from us", which is fair. Uncharted taught them how to revitalize their damn franchise completely though.
