Pretty sure Uncharted was always a male ver of tomb raider.


Actually... Uncharted was always a video game version of the Indiana Jones movies.

It actually is pretty striking to the eye.

You're trying to act like you're not bothered by it but yet you've made the thread. I'm pretty sure if Uncharted 4 was a multiplat game, not affiliated with Sony and was on all consoles, you probably wouldn't have made this thread about a game that was known as a Tomb Raider copy back in 07 now copying Tomb Raider in 2014.. but I could be wrong though

 

I'm not trying to act like anything. I stated pretty clearly that the prospect of uncharted going open world DOES bother me. Plus if the next tomb raider has a similar setting and premise then that will bother me as well since I'd much prefer for both games to not tread the same territory.

Btw... Can we please cut the Sony persecution nonsense. Seriously, its getting old. I said the same thing about Tomb Raider reboot because it was clearly copying Uncharted and that was a multiplat game not affiliated with Sony.


What exactly do you mean "open world"? I consider a game like Far Cry(from the big ass open field i seen on stream) or Oblivion more of an open world game. and what I seen of UC4, it doesn't look like an Open World game to me. Also, Tomb Raider is "open world"?

 

And nah, I'm pretty sure this thread wouldn't have been made if UC4 was a multiplat and not afilliated with Sony. Don't make such a big deal out of it. 



Link to open-world confirmation, please? Cause I totally want that. Also Uncharted 1 was on an Island and Golden Abyss had a very tropical setting. But even if U1 wasn't, I don't see why the setting is reason to believe some imitation is going on. Tropical settings are just really good for these types of games/movies.

Those who are comparing these two (uncharted and tomb raider) started gaming after 2006. Probably with Xbox 360. Ask veterans.

Uncharted 4 looks like it took cue from old Indians Jones games, specifically "Indiana Jones and Emperors Tomb". They were excellent. People who are saying tomb raider similarity because of that wall climbing thingy. Lol.

BTW tomb raider is a franchise that always copied other big games. Indiana Jones served as an inspiration. But tomb raider legend was a "copy / paste" from "Prince of persia two thrones".

But nothing will change. Why? Because most of the people who are comparing have no idea what I am talking about and started gaming late.


That was an awesome game. High five for knowing it!

Now?? Pretty sure Uncharted has been called Dude Raider since the first one no?


Yes, but I am specifically talking about the fact that this new Uncharted looks like the Tomb Raider reboot, not other Tomb Raider games, that specific Tomb Raider game.



Around the Network

Tomb Raider (1994) influenced by Indiana Jones Movie and platformers games like Super Mario Brother.

Uncharted (last gen) influenced by Indiana Jones movies, and Resident Evil/Gears of wars action games and Crash bandicot.

Tomb Raider (2012) influenced by Uncharted purely and a little bit Tomb Rider (1994).

Uncharted (next gen/current Gen) influenced by Uncharted last gen, and The last of Us.



So i guess it's common for Tomb Rider to Copying uncharted formula of success on Last Generation seeing Tomb Rider brand Downfall on PS2 era.

and for people who say Uncharted copying Tomb Rider is make me doubt are they using their brain or not, Uncharted influenced by Indiana Jones movies and third person shooter and action adventure style like Resident Evil, and Gears of War.

We came full circle when the Tomb Raider reboot was trying to be uncharted and now it seems that we've looped back around and come full circle once more with Uncharted 4 looking a lot like the Tomb Raider reboot. 

There is no denying that it looks a lot like the Tomb Raider reboot. It certainly looks like Drake is stranded on an open world island, exactly like tomb raider.

The game definitely looks amazing but I don't think Uncharted needed to go open world. Part of the appeal of uncharted is the varied environments and globe trotting aspects of the game.


It's a bigger world, not open world. It looks just like uncharted 1, just better and bigger. It looks nothing like tomb raider. 

 It only makes sense that uncharted would be a bigger game on next gen console without the limitations of the last gen tech. 

Sounds like the op hasn't been gaming long :) 



I don't think the whole game will be on that island. Uncharted is usually about globe hopping and variation. But yeah the demo they showed did remind me a bit of Tomb Raider, just a lot better executed.



The original Tomb Raider had no open world, but yes, that Uncharted 4 demo gave me a slight but distinct Tomb Raider look and feel. Not a bad thing IMHO, as it's not a cut and paste, but just a similar feel, and if it's true it's open world, that's a thing that was completely absent in the original and best first TR titles, so the game should be quite different. And TR arrived not to open-world, but to a large hub-based world quite late, so even UC4 openness can't be considered a TR rip-off.
