I don't see how Uncharted (2) changed anything in the industry. As for The Last of Us, I will wait until after I play it to state my opinion.

Cinematic story-telling. Off the top of my head it's influence is clear in Far cry 3 or the latest Tomb Raider. I think people exaggerate or give it too much credit (cod is just as responsible), but it's definitely had an impact.


Why would anyone give Uncharted credit for cinematic storytelling when games have done this in the past before the uncharted series.  A game that came out before the uncharted series that had the cinematic storytelling using professional actors is heavenly sword by Ninja Theory.  Actually when you look at the uncharted series you see games that have taken the best concepts from previous work and made a polished product.  The games do not bring anything new but instead they bring together successful game design into a AAA polish game.

I see the last of us doing the same thing as the uncharted series.  ND will take successful game design within the survivor series polish those concepts and bring them all together into one game.  The game will not be known for innovation but it will be known for its high production value.
