Uncharted rip-off called ‘Adventurer’ which is in 1st person perspective looks stunning
"A new game called 'Adventurer' made by a polish studio called The farm51 looks pretty amazing, but the catch here is that it looks a wee bit similar to Uncharted."
(Adventurer, PC, Xbox 360)
@Grap Crysis has jungle, the upcoming Far Cry 3 has jungle, BFBC2 has jungle and there are many more games with jungle but do any of them said to be Uncharted rip-off? NO!
this is not about the jungle but just like Unearthed, this is a blatant shameless rip-off!
I would say it was inspired by Indiana Jones and not a direct rip off/wannabe. I challenge you to find a good Indiana Jones game worth playing, that matches the quality of any of the Uncharted games.
The Indiana Jones game on the old xbox was an awesome game hulk_bash1987. It doesn't share the same graphics what with it being made a generation before, but at the time it looked great and had some amazin brawling physics.
Regardless I think Drithe was referring to the movies of which indiana was a little more famous for ;)
@VanillaBear Did you finally ever manage to pull off floating-head doctor? XD
EDIT: lol
I'm guessing Body still behaves like he's your boss when you call him? :D I never understood how he'd know you're calling him when he didn't even have ears. Haha, I wish you the best of luck then! :D
I don't see this as a rip off of uncharted what so ever. Both this game and UC borrow heavily from Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider. To say that it's a ripoff of UC isn't accurate. I look forward to this game. It should be a great Adventure. LOL
It clearly is an uncharted rip off. you see the characters and environment and your telling us that its not trying to specifically be like uncharted?! seriously?! I'm sure if this game wanted to "copy" Indiana jones and tomb raider, wouldn't you think they would have released this game at least before, say uncharted 2 came out??
@blastoise Sony had ar on the ps2 via eye toy, I think Sony may have purchase their tech because this looks like eye of judgement or invisimal for the psp.
it looks like a rip off because the guy who looks like nathan drake is similarly dressed the same and the other guy looks like sully and that pic looks like its at the jungle scean with the german u boat....people who say this isnt a ripoff are most likely 360 users seeing how they dont have uncharted for 360 and they are saying its like an uncharted FPS.....hmmm
Uncharted was heavily inspired by Indiana Jones from treasure hunting, environment, to solving puzzles. Even Nathan Drake is somewhat of a poorman's Indian Jones played by Harrison Ford in terms of attitude/character.
People call it a rip-off because of: 1. The environment 2. Treasure hunting/puzzle solving 3. The main male character
All of 3 of these reasons Uncharted did NOT originally invent. The game is not even a 3rd person game. In addition, the main character dresses in classic turn of the century explorer attire. Just like the main hero from the 1999 movie The Mummy: http://blogs.amctv.com/movi...
They did rip a lot of uncharted however saying that it looks like a very poor game even at early stages. Just look at the puzzles they are so 1990's and the flying spears traps? Seriously? Last time I saw them was timesplitters! Not to mention the weapons which belong more in a war game like dual wielding smgs.
I agree with ya mewhy, people just love to categorize everything based on their own short term memories. Sure games like Uncharted might rekindle the popularity of games with "hero adventure" treasure hunters but that has always been around in film and games. If people would stop comparing everything against everything else and taking experiences as they come...they would be a lot less disappointed in life. It should be a great adventure.
This site is completely infested with trolls. Whats worst is when the comments and forums isn't trolling, the so called "news" would be. No wonder I hardly visit N4G anymore.
Seriously, people wouldn't be freaking out if UNCHARTED RIPOFF wasnt in the title.
After watching the gameplay, the only similarities with uncharted are an airplane crash, puzzle solving,and 2 male characters.... That's it
No set piece moments, no climbing..... It's an fps to, not even third person
The game actually reminds me more of farcry.... I'm actually kind of interested in it
Guys, games get inspired by other media,and other games as well.... It's how this industry grows and progresses....
Find one original game, today
I love uncharted, but I can't say it's an original concept.... But it's still a concept I love, loved Indiana jones, and I plan to pick up tomb raider... And I might get this too
It's ok you people. This game only happens to have similar characters and locations than Uncharted has. It's not trying to rip anything off. It a complete coincidense.
The issue is the character blatantly look like Nathan etc.
A lot of the scenery showed also seems similar tp specific parts of Uncharted. Rather than both games having a jungle, these guys have constructed the same thing in the same way.
The language in this article is damage control setting the tone for Sony fans to attack a unforeseen game on xbox and not PS lol. Since when does being in a jungle mean it's a uncharted ripp off? Looks more like Indiana Jones but darker with a heavier focus on the supernatural(more like the Mummy movies but dark) Uncharted is Tomb Raider with Gears Of War gameplay mechanics. The Oringal Xbox had more games like this. Other than some plants, 007 Golden Eye has more in common with this game than Uncharted. A crashed Air Plane in the Jungle concept came about because Uncharted? LOL
*sigh* no one is saying its a rip off because of the jungle! There's more to it, like someone said above that the picture looks exactly like the scene when they find the U-boat.
That's why people are calling it a rip off. And why label them as Sony fans? Maybe they actually do think its a rip off regardless of platform.
PS All Stars Battle Royale (PSASBR) is not as much of a rip off as it seems to be.
SSBB is the only game in its genre, and Sony is making another game in the same genre. Calling PSASBR a rip off of SSBB is the same as calling every FPS a rip-off of Wolfenstien 3D.
@tehnoob3 The comparison of all FPS to Wolf3d doenst quite fit. Had you specified particular games then it would make more sense. Like the game NOVA as being a ripoff of halo. That is a more direct comparison than a generalized statement of (insert FPS) compared to Wolf3d.
The PS allstars is sony's version of SSB so in that sense it could be construed as a rip off. Just as this game "adventurer" being more closely akin to uncharted.
It isnt a new thing to try and capitalize on the popularity of something and make a similar title. Pretty much there are several gameloft titles that are obvious clones of bigger named games.
Same thing happens in movies and tv. They arent trying to undermine the quality and popularity of the originals. They are simply trying to get in on the action and get a slice of that particular genre in the market.
Besides, there are some really good knockoff titles out there. They dont get as much attention because people see them as knockoffs and may not be inclined to give them a chance.
@tehnoob3 Look up TMNT: Smash Up, Battle Stadium DON, DreamMix TV World Fighters, Jump Ultimate Stars, Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion and Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble. Super Smash Bros. isn't the only game in the 2.5D Party Fighter genre.
lol and now we have people that were so quick to call anything Sony makes a rip-off now holding their tongue on a game that looks very similar to a PS game... gee I wonder why.
Game looks decent but I'm glad naughty dog is resting uncharted as I don't think another one real soon will go over as well as it will start to get redundant and old. This is true with any game and I'm looking at you as well gears.
@insomnium2 for the love of god how was MS acting like a child and got the media behind them...huh. please explain to us. you keep making shit up to fit your propaganda that MS has this so called power over everything in america because everything don't go sony's way. the only child here is you. grow up and stop the BS conspiracy theroy. oh and I'm still waiting for you to provide a link where MS said anything about installs on the ps3 with GTA4.
ontop: other than the charators. theres really nothing that makes this a uncharted clone. unless you talking about the jungle. which is mainly in many games other than uncharted. i honestly think people are still upset that PSASB is being called a SSBM clone that they need something to rag on.
Though it's eerily similar, if this games looks and feels anything like uncharted, I would have to give props to the devs. In my opinion all gamers should have the Oncharted experience, be it through Uncharted games themselves, or by similar games like this one. Where have the days gone where people were just excited about new and awesome games, and not arguing over which platform has the better games. Gaming should be about one thing, and one thing only; fun. Peace.
So basically generic repetitive clunky gunplay (and lots of it) followed by a decent story and good cinematics followed by crappy annoying puzzles climbing....I played all 3 and it wasn't fun, ratchet and clank was fun, sly cooper was fun....uncharted honestly sucked.
Uncharted doesn't suck. And I wouldn't say its repetitive or clunky either. I admit some of the puzzles could be better, but they're not annoying. They aren't perfect games. But it is a great series hence all the 9/10's and 10/10's it gets.
@_Aarix_ I don't think you've even played the Uncharted games. And if you have, you were ready to hate them before you even put the disc inside. I know it's your opinion, but next time make that clear. If you didn't find it fun, that's cool. But passing any judgement on any game as a fact, that's not the right. The series doesn't have an average Metacritic rating of 90+ for nothing.
In first person, because I doubt a small studio could achieve the kind of animation fluidity and dynamism that characterizes Nathan Drake in Uncharted. And if they could, the real difficulty lies in striking a balance between animation and player control/responsiveness. Nice try though.
This is just pathetic and i thought unearthed was a bad ripoff this just takes the cake. How anyone can stand in front of a camera and talk about their inspiration when you can see character designs and everything is a 1 on 1 ripoff of uncharted.
Anyone can stfu about pasbr now cause the only thing that game has in common with smash is. -4 players -crossover -UI -fighting game
Overreact much? It is NOT a 1 on 1 ripoff. The game looks more like Far Cry than Uncharted. Nathan Drake is nothing more than YOUNG INDIANA JONES, so if any rip offs were mentioned, look there because Lara Croft has a lot to say about that too.
As for PASBR being compared to Smash Bros....it's a fair comparison. As yourself...did they really have to make this game? Then ask why? Also, why is Activision making a Walking Dead FPS? Because they are trying to cash in on Telltale games' success.
You're a cry baby of the highest order majie. Maybe it is a rip-off. This company isn't exactly Naughty Dog in terms of staff numbers or funding. These studios make games like this to get on the map, and by all accounts it ain't looking too bad. Uncharted was inspired by many games before it, and obviously, it's inspired this small Polish team in the same way.
Also, the Playstation All Stars defense is high order irony.
I've played the Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider games. None of them looked like or played like Uncharted before Uncharted. They didn't have the same look or feel. However, this game has a very similar look and sound. Obviously can't comment about the feel and since it's a FPS I doubt it'll match anyway. . .
Edit: Seriously. Is that NOT Nate and Sully? I could see NPCs in the game calling out "Nate! Hey, N... My bad. Thought you were someone else."
Majie is right because there is a game called the outfoxies that has like 80% of the things in ssb but pre-dates it by two years such as dynamic battlefield,weapon pick up and the ability move to other parts of the stage like ssb,only thing it didn't have was 4 player simultaneous combat.
If Sony get mad or even tries to do something then Eidos ,spielberg, Lucas should have something to say about drake.Cause Indy & Lara were doing the puzzle solving ,car chase ,shooting ,climbing before drake showed up.(TRTHURTS)
okay after seeing the video I wouldn't call it stunning like the author did, the flames, water, vegetation and weather effect doesn't look half as good as uncharted 2, let alone uncharted 3, but I guess it's a fairly good attempt from a studio I've never even heard of...
The "stunning" part is that they tried to rip off a game in which they have no hope of surpassing.
If you are copying something and make it better then I'm ok with that, but if you can't do better than the original then it's just a cash grab, just like all the bad remakes of good movies.
Already done.. It's called Far Cry. Made before Uncharted
@Shackdaddy-That's what I was saying. The Uncharted comparison is absurd since it looks more like Indiana Jones and we all know Drake is a copy of him.
Sony fanboys will try and fight you over any negative remarks about Uncharted, but the truth is...it's not that original. It's an amazing game, but they did borrow from others. The last of us also looks amazing and we can clearly see they borrowed from there too. Naughty Dog to me is like Rockstar, THEY CAN DO NO WRONG
@Floetry101-My bad dude, I accidentally disagreed with you when I meant to agree. You are absolutely right. Disagrees only come from Uncharted fans that cant handle the truth. Just because they borrowed doesnt make it a bad game.
I don't think any of the kids on this site are old enough to have seen a real Indiana Jones movie. So they all think Uncharted is a new, and original idea. When it is sure as hell not.
Actually, this game is done by the guys from NecroVision, a well received horror themed World War I shooter.
A number of them are ex-People Can Fly developpers.
It's a small team so they don't use cutting edge tech, but NecroVision was pretty damn fun, had a good deal of personanlity despite using a global war setting, and this definitely has potential.
The fonts used in the game look more like those from Indiana Jones to me. The authors of the article just namedropped Uncharted to get attention.
Am I the only one who thinks this looks interesting? It's not like it's a cheap knock-off, they're doing motion-capture and everything.
It's a shame that people tend to stay away from this genre, even in movies because of the fear of being labeled a rip-off. Yet, there are tons of books and old serials based on it, and it's one of my favorites.
Given the time period it feels very much like an Indiana Jones game more than Uncharted for me. I get the similarities to Uncharted...but honestly...I think they should just call him Dr. Jones and get some funding from Lucas Arts already. lol
There's Some Uncharted here but not a full blown rip-off like Unearthed...
The puzzles look like something out of Uncharted and those two character models do remind you of Nate and Sully, more than Harrison Ford and Sean Connery.
The rest of the game seems to be a tribute to the 3 good Indiana Jones films and the one bad one that I blame that pig Lucas for...
Expect people they say its a clone because its the same genre XD They say this is a clone because its got nearly the same looking charters and environment
@Feralkitsune Indiana Jones is still just a movie. And obviously Adventurer looks like Uncharted, exact same color scheme and characters are similar. This is not a bad thing. :)
So all adventure games with a few puzzles set in a forest and icy areas are a rip-off of Uncharted? I love the series as much as anyone but that's just ridiculous.
First Person plus Third Person. I would prefer a first person plus third person experience. One game I enjoyed that did this well was Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Cover and close combat in third person and first person in other. Maybe Sony would get upset if there was any third person perspective gameplay? Doubt it, they seem comfortable and secure with their placement in this genre.

Tomb Raider does have a chick for a lead.
Are you high?
I think that is just his way of ripping on Uncharted by insisting it's simply Tomb Raider.
Crysis has jungle, the upcoming Far Cry 3 has jungle, BFBC2 has jungle and there are many more games with jungle but do any of them said to be Uncharted rip-off? NO!
this is not about the jungle but just like Unearthed, this is a blatant shameless rip-off!

On Topic: The game looks kinda cool even if it is an Uncharted rip off.
Show me one pre-Uncharted Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider game that looks like that. Just one! I dare you.
I seriously was not aware Naughty Dog invented the jungle!! I really must study history more.......
It looks more like an Indiana jones game than uncharted.
People call it a rip-off because of:

The thing that will set them apart is the story for the Uncharted series, i'm not convinced these guys will match it with a far smaller studio.
I see what you did there Chunky Lover. ;)
SSBB is the only game in its genre, and Sony is making another game in the same genre. Calling PSASBR a rip off of SSBB is the same as calling every FPS a rip-off of Wolfenstien 3D.

When did anybody ever say that Sony All stars battle royal wasnt a rip off of Smash bro's?
Even the devs admitted it borrows heavily.
Its a rip off, we're past that now, get over it.
Look up TMNT: Smash Up, Battle Stadium DON, DreamMix TV World Fighters, Jump Ultimate Stars, Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion and Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble. Super Smash Bros. isn't the only game in the 2.5D Party Fighter genre.
Battle royale is a ripoff of SSB. I don't see how anyone can say it isn't since even the devs say it borrows heavily from it.
This Adventurer game borrows heavily from Uncharted in characters and enviroments (not just jungle). Get over it.
@sourav93 below
MS changed that in 2005-2008 by acting like a child. They got the entire USA and media behind them acting childish too. It's been a crazy gen.
That statement works both ways, Why can people call Allstars a rip off but fans of Uncharted are taking crap for saying this is a rip off?..
This is closer to Uncharted than that other saudi Uncharted clone and that game took way more crap for it than this one..
I wonder if it's because it's being released for 360..
for the love of god how was MS acting like a child and got the media behind them...huh. please explain to us. you keep making shit up to fit your propaganda that MS has this so called power over everything in america because everything don't go sony's way. the only child here is you. grow up and stop the BS conspiracy theroy. oh and I'm still waiting for you to provide a link where MS said anything about installs on the ps3 with GTA4.
