I havent seen that in any other game.

To my knowledge, U2 is the first game to implement it and was first seen in April/May when the first gameplay of U2 was revealed. Now a few months later we see AC2 now has that feature LOL

I know it has been in other games, I have seen it!
I haven't seen the U2 and AC videos yet but I have in other games.

Albeit its not as common as we'd like.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory had it...

If AC takes the grab-spin-slam into wall move then we can say they're copying. As of right now, not so much.

Yeah i'm pretty sure I've seen it somewhere.

And both games started developement around the same time, so I highly doubt one copied the other.

I heard that Assassins Creed 1 invented fail. But I hear that Uncharted 2 is copying them. You wanna make a thread about that too?

Seriously, this didn't even meet my lowest expectation.

Really? Seriously... Really? *rolls eyes*

Uh oh, God of War 1 and 2 had that too! They time-travelled to the past then copied it!!!

Busted!!  /Thread.  Time to lock it.

There is no way to prove who came up with this idea first but anyway a game can't be defined or judged good, bad or original just because of one gaming mechanic. By your standard it would be almost impossible for any game to be entirely original these days and Uncharted would be as guilty or more guilty of this sin than many other games out there.
