If you were right or wrong doesn even matter at this point just let the whole thing go. And everyone else should too. It got out of hand and is pointless.

Hmm..I think what they said was that Sony encouraged using realistic approach instead of fantasy like how they encouraged using Move for uncharted 3, but Naughty Dog refused.

It wasn't forced, and honestly I think Sony did the correct thing in this case. And no people, Uncharted has nothing in common with gears of war when it comes to setting and everything, just the genre is similar. Uncharted released like 7 months after gears of war that is hardly enough to take "inspiration".

pretty much this, this is one of the positives of the competition thats sadly overlooked/lost in all these flame wars.

Actually, if you talk about Uncharted and its mechanics, as well as Gears...Headhunter on the Dreamcast should get the credit for starting everything in terms of cover mechanics.

Even to this day Headhunter stands out as feeling modern. Sandbox + stealth + cover system.

^^ Its the first time I hear about this game, it looks good. Im surprise I missed that back then.

It really is. For the time at least it was mindblowing.

It was one of those games where every moment you had something new you've never seen before which happens so rarely these days. Today there are 2-3 never before seen set pieces and you got a AAA game...

There was a sequel to Xbox and PS2 however it was much worse than original and just another middle of the road action game by that point.

When I played Uncharted 1, immediatly Headhunter came to mind.

Well, ignoring another console's strength is a surefire way to go extinct. Can't fault Sony for their request and I damn sure can't fault Naughty Dog for the results. Sonic, Mortal Kombat, Forza, Saints Row--some of the best series out there drew inspiration from other franchises. It's what they do with that inspiration that I care about. And if the result is another great game, I got no complaints.

Now, if only somebody would try to make a game similar to Heavy Rain. I need a fix!

I think you failed to understand the point of MDJ's post. The Playstation brand isn't a shooter brand. PS1/2 gamers were not interested in getting a slew of shooters as the mainstay of their next gen gaming. Sony turned PS into a shooterbox with it's early emphasis on shooters.

Thankfully Uncharted did not slavishly copy the gritty shooter with Naughty Dog retaining a lot of it's charm and platforming roots in the franchise.

Still I do hope ND release a Jak HD collection and then follow it up with Jak 4 now that they have 3 Uncharted games done. Give Nathan Drake a break until PS4 I think.

All art is derivative. It's about what you add to what was done before that either makes you great or mediocre.

How could I have missed this? Thanks for bringing it up, I stand corrected.
