To reinvent an existing IP in a way that brings  in new gamers while retaining old fans can be just as difficult  as creating a new IP.

Metroid Prime also won an immense number of awards, and is widely considered one of the greatest games of all time.

And Uncharted's impact wasn't that big.


It is fairly big. The only other game that has been more influential is CoD. Heck, even DoA5 has segments influenced by Uncharted.

Edit: A shame that Retro Studios hasn't been able to re-reach that height they reached more than 10 years ago....

UC didn't have a big effect. Most TPS games in the 7th gen took their cues from Gears of War, which predates Uncharted.

And in terms of critical reception, ND technically hasn't ever reached quite the level that Prime did.

Critical reception is only a popularity indicator anyway. There's no objective measure of a game's quality, it's all just opinion.


The whole cinematic gameplay is taken from Uncharted. Even Ken Levine says that he is influenced by Uncharted.

Depends where you're looking. GR has Uncharted 2 above Metroid Prime, which, by the way, came out 10 years ago when it didn't have to deal with troll reviewers like HonestGamers, Polygon or Quarter To Three.

Also, time to face the facts - that Retro is gone.
