There is a difference between inspiration and copying. I'm sure Tomb Raider had some impact on the original Uncharted, but it wasn't just like it (in fact, Uncharted had an emphasis on action/Tomb Rider on exploration and puzzles). They were very different.
Fast forward 5.5 years and Tomb Raider seems to have an identity crisis. You cannot swim (a first for the series), too many parts of the game seem straight out of Uncharted 2, and the graphics, since E3 2011, don't look as sharp.

I was hooked from here on, which, at the time, felt very little like Uncharted. Beyond that, the visuals were at their best.

I found to be extremely weird that she couldn't swim because isn't she suppose to be just coming of some sort of military school. I feel like she would learn to swim there. I still think it looks good and have it on preorder, but if it doesn't get as good of reviews as I'm hoping then I'm gonna cancel it.
OT, I can only see The Last of Us being genre defining, and like others said Tomb Raider is completely ripping off Uncharted's style, but I'm hopefully getting it regardless.

Agreed. The Last Of Us, like Heavy Rain, seems to be dabbling with old and new genre combinations. Is it better for gaming, no way to know, but it's in my realm of intrigue.
As for TR's pre-order, I did it on Steam. If it ends up "bad", it will be my first and last through them.

I'm hoping it turns out to be better for gaming, so developers can work to add great stories into their games. If TLOU ends up being a huge hit then you can bet there will be so many trying to copy them and get the same success, which would be bad for gaming.
