at least they acknowledge the existence of naughty dog and admit that uncharted is where the inspiration came from.
of course, they cant expect everyone to just be cool with that. there's a fine line between paying homage and ripping off. most people will see it as the latter
I'm cool with it. I like Uncharted, so chances are I'll like any game thats similar to it. Take Bollywood for example. Many Bollywood films are ripoffs of American films..doesn't mean I enjoy them any less since they have an Indian twist to them.
I'll try to hold judgement till I play it. As a full fledged $60 PS3 title, I have my doubts. But if this is a $15 downloadable title on Android or iOS...then smartphone gamers have something to be excited about. Uncharted ripoff aside, the game looks DAMN good for an Android/iOS game.
EDIT: YUP, it'll be on Android/iOS and it'll be episodic. So maybe $5 for each part of the story. Uncharted fan or not, you have to admit that this is a milestone for mobile gaming.
Who would have thought 20 years ago that a game of this magnitude could run on a smartphone? I'm still in awe that GTA 3 is even possible on smartphones.
They pretty much acknowledged that without saying it so bluntly...
***"But rest assured that we are fans of the Uncharted series and we would do our very best to honor it. Think of Unearthed as the ultimate form of fanboyism where you go beyond being passionate about your beloved game and create something new inspired by it and adding your own culture and unique spin to it."***
You can't really expect them to call their own work "a sad pathetic rip off" now.
I think it's meant to be legal ripoff. They obviously know they copied uncharted, how else would they make it so similar. But it's meant to be a cultural parallel copy.
Just look at the Modern combat games for mobiles, they're literally meant to be just like call of duty, specially 3 and 4, and people are a lot more accepting of those games.
NOVA is a literal copy of halo, NOVA 3 is a copy of crysis, and everyone's ok with it.
Point is, these types of games aren't meant to be taken seriously. They aren't targeting western games anyway.
"Everyone at (inset crap developer's name) are making a game that looks just like (insert popular game title and similar character art or cover) but it's not the same as (mention popular game again), in fact it's very different than (say name of good game again). In fact, even though we were inspired by (say name of good game again)it's more like (say name of other amazing game)" lol
Maybe they could be more obvious. Trying to use the comparison to market their crappy game, LOL. Our game is not Uncharted, bla bla bla... Face it, no one even gives a sh#t your game exists.
i don't think this game was meant for a western audience or current gen console for that matter. Atleast PS2 is getting some loving in some parts of the world.

I like these guys, they're really classy about it. I'd like to support them now, I'll try to get the game on release.
The game is a blatant rip-off, aimed at parent who do their shopping in a hurry who didn't read their kids wishlist properly. Oh this is not the game you wanted? But...
Unwrapping Uncharted and getting Unearthed, must have been hell.

I expect plenty of laughs in the multiplayer.
Free for PS+ maybe?

Bungie took inspirations from James Cameron's Aliens for Halo. Not a rip off since they look different yet its still the same space marine vs aliens.
This Unearthed game is just a sad pathetic rip off of naughty dog's greatest franchise. Just look at those screenshots. WOW.

Give it a rest. Not buying.

This studio has no self-respect whatsoever.
