The fact is that TR reboot and RoTR are trying to be like Uncharted,whcih makes Uncharted better since TR changed to copy its style.


People who repeat this stuff should go back and play the Tomb Raider remake that launched right before the first Uncharted. They were already adding elements from your average modern action game long before Uncharted became popular. The whole industry is making action games like this now and it started before Nathan Drake came along.


Thats all well and good, but they continued to take from modern games. Uncharted was built off of the primary ingredient of Tomb  Raider in platforming and tropes, but outside of that they took from lesser known industry games like Killzwitch and Winback like Gears of War did. Of course RE4 set the standard and pace for what they were going to do so a lot of other features came from that. Both games took what over the shoulder tps shooters of the past did and made them one of the primary forms of shooters for a new generation. 

That aside Rise of the Tomb Raider had some moments that were bordering on level (but not quite) of Uncharted 2. I dont want to spoil it for many others but even Last of Us like systems with parts strewn on the floor and you putting them together to make bombs  in bases and camp areas made it completely easy for me to know when I was about to go into battle. In the last of us you found parts anywhere and made them into the bomb. In Tomb Raider they are instantly formed once you take find the vessel (can, bottle, gasoline cannister.). Far cry 3 was even more obvious this time than last time. The whole hunting, crafting system as well (its also sad that all tombs are optional) even in Uncharted the dumb-level easy places he goes to are manditory to progress. How can a tomb Raider have all tombs be optional? Damn.

That aside, Im glad that game got itself on its feet because I am going to need an Uncharted like game once Sony retires Nathan to make a new character to carry the banner for Sony this gen.
