What Tomb Raider learned from Uncharted (Videos)

Lara has always been "Rambo/McGuyver". Hell in the first game you're dual wielding pistols killing a T-Rex.

Look at this video and tell me the series only just now became about action and cinematics because of Uncharted or something LOL

That's Anniversary, also from Crystal Dynamics :)

Nice find.

Sure was. Some people want to force the idea down our throats that Tomb Raider is just an Uncharted knock off. But that video shows Crystal Dynamics taking the original TR1 and updating it with modern gameplay mechanics. The same mechanics people say were inspired by Uncharted like cinematic gameplay, an emphasis on action, and QTE's just to name a few. Of course, the glaring hole in their silly theory is that the game in my video came out before Uncharted lol.

I could probably go through that first comparison video and remember sequences like that in past TR games that also came out before Uncharted but as you can see, it wouldn't make a difference.
