To be honest, while the Uncharted series had a better metacritic than the reboot of Tomb Raider, i found Tomb Raider better than Uncharted.It really felt more like you were fighting for your life, the exploration was superb(which in Uncharted there is next to none), and the combat overall was better.The only thing that uncharted does better than Tomb Raider, in my opinion, is the story, but not by much.And while i think I will like more Rise of Tomb Raider than UC4, I dont think Rise will score better than it.UC4 seems to have learned a thing or two from Lara, and looks like the world will be more open now, and the combat seems more engaging.We will need to see, but i find it hard for it to score 86 or lower

do you think its fair to compare a game that came out 2 years after the last uncharted?? CD had all the time in the world to improve upon uncharted formula! but still ND took them to school in the same year with TLoU and showed them how a survival horror should be done.

What?Tomb Raider isnt a survival horror game.By the looks of it, you didnt even bother to research about the game to post this.Tomb Raider is a action Adventure game,with some survival elements thrown in it.You are making zero sense now.And second, I said that i PERSONALLY like Tomb Raider better.Im not saying that it is critically better than Uncharted.It dosnt matter that it released 1 and half year after the last Uncharted.Its my opinion.And Uncharted formula is actually based on the original tomb raider games, in case you dont know.

And I said that I think Uncharted 4 will do better.Not that I think it will be a better game for me, but I think that critically Uncharted will do better.


Uncharted and Gears of War are more akin in formula than Tomb Raider. The only thing those two have in common is platforming with a similar theme. If you've played Uncharted you could easily tell this game was inspired by Resident Evil 4 (Vantage point), Winback & Killswitch (frantic coverbased shooting) along with Sony's well known flare for cinemeatics. Naughty Dog took what they learned from Naughty Dog with platform to combine with the other peoplel theyve learned from to turn Uncharted into a shooter where your enemy could be approached swiftly from above or below. The melee is based on button combinations.

P.S.

There is a reason why the old Tomb Raider style went dead is because Crystal Dynamics  couldnt get the core formula to resonate with most people. Naughty Dogs development style which can be seen between The Last of Us and Tomb Raider are quite striking. Tomb Raider is more like Uncharted than Uncharted was ever like Tomb Raider in the feel. As I said, theme and platforming and but Uncharted much like Gears of War had inspiration from elsewhere.
