Were you worried that the multiplayer portion of Lara’s newest adventure might feel tacked on, or out of place? Well do not worry my dear readers, because from what we’ve seen so far, it looks quite engaging!
(PC, PS3, Tomb Raider, Xbox 360)
It's not. Uncharted definitely borrowed a few thing's from tomb raider. But it was a third person shooter first, and an adventure game second. Where as Tomb raider was always more of an adventure game, exploring and getting med packs and stuff.
A third person action adventure game. Based around a treasure hunter who raids ancient tombs for treasure and solve puzzles.
While on his adventures he gets caught up in all sorts of trouble with war criminals ect.
To defend himself he uses guns and melee combat to fight back his enemy and if need be he can escape using his ability to climb walls.

Yet somehow these to games aren't similar in every way? Due to the fact they are so similar the one the came second is a copy (COPY DOESN'T MEAN BAD)
Now stop lying to yourselves, Uncharted is copy of Tomb raider. But it doesn't mean Uncharted is a bad game. Its better than Tomb raider (Except UC3 which is awful)
Actually Uncharted is more inspired by Indiana Jones than Tomb Raider, infact the best way to describe uncharted is Indiana Jones directed by Joss Whedon.
But the gameplay in previous tomb raiders and uncharted were totally different. The only similarity the games had was the platforming, which so many other third person games like Prince of Persia used.
Uncharted was primarily a third person shooter, where as tomb raider was more about platforming... even though uncharted did platforming much better and tomb raider legends adopted uncharteds platforming, as you always needed to hold a button to stay on a platform.
And combat in tomb raider were all forced archaic confrontations where you don't have verticallity but must instead flip around and use the games auto aim to defeat enemies.
And if anything the story of tomb raider is bonkers as f***. I mean they added angels and demons, egyptian and norse gods. If anything Uncharted and Indiana Jones are more grounded, where as tomb raider is more devil may cry
So yeah, asides from how the platforming looked the games have very little in common.
Also how was uncharted 3 terrible? Story may not have been as tight as 2, but the game was still extremely solid
How can Uncharted have copied Tomb Raider. There are plenty of other games with a lot more in common than these two. "But they're both treasure hunters so it must be a copy right?? Gtfo.
Has no one ever played Tomb Raider in the past? It's puzzle and platforming heavy.
Uncharted's gameplay is different. It is very action and shooter oriented. But NEW Tomb Raider, on the other hand, plays a lot more like Uncharted.
Tomb Raider didn't invent treasure hunting in jungles, and Uncharted looks nothing like the Tomb Raider games that came before it. The Tomb Raider reboot clearly borrows Uncharted's style.
I'd rather say that Uncharted was more like Indiana Jones considering Tomb Raider was always just considered Indiana Jones with a hot chick as the lead role.
Apart from the protagonist that is a treasures hunter too the Uncharted series has nothing to share with the "old" Tomb Raider games. How can the multiplayer of it remind you(or your imaginary uncles) of the Tomb Rider series if this is the first game in the franchise to have one?(except for the coop mode of Guardian of Light). You know...it's funny you say that(cit.) ;)
it looks fun...but yes looks very much like uncharted but with a bow and traps...but it looks like you can have fun and enjoy the MP but i wouldnt say theres alot of depth with the MP samething God of War is doing
It pains me to say it, but when I watch this all I see is Uncharted - I can't help it. I'd love to believe what Eidos has done with Tomb Raider's multiplayer will be unique and original, but I have a horrible feeling that it won't be.
If you look at the game closely, it looks more deeper than Uncharted multiplayer, with traps and exploration don't forget that part too. Uncharted multiplayer rely on the cinematic environmental destruction effects for traps while shooting, this game have traps everywhere from the start. Heck you can even make your own traps. I read the latest Official Xbox Magazine, where they claim melee is a big part with characters agility too. It may not have better graphics than Uncharted, but it could still possible own it in single player and multiplayer. You don't always have to have the best graphics.
You've clearly never played the MP of Uncharted. While trap building may not be apart of UC's mp, everything else you've seen in that video is Uncharted. And melee has a huge presence in the mp...
Haters can hate, but last time I check Tomb Raider was series before Uncharted. Uncharted carbon copy many things Tomb Raider had before, from the exploration, puzzles, and traps. So what if Tomb Raider multiplayer looks like Uncharted multiplayer. It's time Uncharted had a competitor. Hate all you want haters, you still gonna buy the game no matter what. I'm looking to get this on PC or 360.
@ashun the only thing Tomb Raides & Uncharted have common are their themes,Lars movement are to far exaggerated unlike drizzy drake's interactions with the world,which is some what more natural.
I was going to take your views on Uncharted seriously until I realised you're an Xbox owner... #NotYourGameToCriticise
Besides, I wasn't being anti-Tomb Raider with my above comment. I was merely saying that I can't watch Tomb Raider without thinking that its multiplayer won't be that novel considering what ND's done before it.
Moveover Uncharted Nathan Drake, Lara Croft is back in action, and her multiplayer looks to give your multiplayer a true challenge. As they say: Anything you can do I can do better than you.
The more I read your comments, the more I see an Xbot that wants Tomb raider to succeed simply because he can't have Uncharted.
While PS3 owners are no doubt flattered that you're lusting after our exclusive, thinking Tomb Raider's multiplayer stands out from Uncharted's is delusional. Eidos have clearly been inspired by what Naughty Dog has done. I can't say if TR's online modes will be good or not because I've not tested them myself, but I can tell you that their resemblance to Uncharted's is uncanny.
Plz ppl always trying to stand out or make things more than what it is. It looks like UC mp and if they reach that feel and fun they have a winner plain and simple. But let me reiterate again its obvious where they got their mp inspiration big timeeee!!!!!!! It is the utmost flattery whether ppl want to accept it or not. Ppl hate on UC so much lol and hate it has won tons of awards for what it has done. Uc2 is still a graphical benchmark in consoles and gameplay is still superb and no game has owned it ever since and i doubt Tomb Raider will.
yeah i agree but "Uc2 is still a graphical benchmark in consoles" uncharted 3 IS the graphical benchmark on consoles untill the last of us/god of war ascention/beyond two souls arrive
no i meant uc2. in regards to the game all around there is a consensus tht uc2 looks better thn uc3, specifically mp and character animations. Graphical benchmarks have set by uc2, gow3 and kz2 and 3 (which still wiped the floor with crysis2 lol)
yeah its fine if they rip off uncharted but atleast make a good game out of it. it would be better if they improve upon it because thats what brings about progress. as long as they don't make a worse or half arsed game they should be fine. the story is what will set them apart i think.
It looks similar to Uncharted, but then I always thought they were fairly similar games... one was a bit more action orientated than the other is all. I really don't think that matters in the slightest either.
I thought this Tomb Raider MP looked a hell of a lot better than my expectations. I've always been a Tomb Raider nerd since the original... so there is no question that I'll be geeking out to this reboot like I have all the others... And I will certainly be giving this MP a fair chance.
while other developers are busy copying, Naughty Dog is busy innovating and trying something different that something being the LastOfUs. lets see how long it is before we get a rip off of that.
For me uncharted is better for its singlepayer. uncharted single player: amazing uncharted 2 single player: amazing uncharted 2 multi player: Pretty good uncharted 3 single player: amazing uncharted 3 multi player: just don't like it
From the outside it definitely has an Uncharted vibe to it. Traps and such give it a little different flare but this really does scream Uncharted style MP. And you know what? That isn't a bad thing at all if you ask me.
If this game can deliver on all fronts a game in similar feel to Uncharted in game play and quality then everyone wins.
I have been playing a fair bit of uncharted 3's mp, and this video looks a lot like it. It's not a bad thing, but I do hope they have a lot of different play types.
Part of that looked like they were carrying something, like the idol.
I really hope the single player feels like the tombraider of old though. I miss those days.
Cant help but see Uncharted MP with traps from that gameplay. I mean they even have characters lifting objects the same way. Not that its a bad thing, I loved the Uncharted MP games :D
Yawn I'm passing on this game will let the xbots gobble it up last multiplat on PS3 I'm getting is GTA V. Graphically Uncharted 2 and 3 still look better. God of war ascension, tlou, and phantasy star on the vita will take up most of my gaming time.
I abosolutely love Uncharted series multiplayer. This multiplayer looks like a dumb down version but I can't judge on how it plays yet. The frames on the multiplayer sucks and the map it shown doesn't have that beauty to it like Uncharted 2 and 3 maps has. Simply put; it's lame!

Yeah they should it means that uncharted is the standard for the genre and its multiplayer.
in many ways, it is.
but some people on n4g just don't want to see it that way.
It's not. Uncharted definitely borrowed a few thing's from tomb raider. But it was a third person shooter first, and an adventure game second. Where as Tomb raider was always more of an adventure game, exploring and getting med packs and stuff.

Not every Uncharted game is based around ancient tombs and war criminals for example, you're thinking of Indiana Jones.

One of my uncles was playing uncharted a while back and he said that the mp and the game reminded him of tomb raider.

Not to be an ass or anything... but the traps are simply player controlled environmental hazards.
Aside from that they look pretty much the same

Eidos have clearly been inspired by what Naughty Dog has done.

No one's moving anywhere - at least not yet...
but
"Uc2 is still a graphical benchmark in consoles"
uncharted 3 IS the graphical benchmark on consoles untill the last of us/god of war ascention/beyond two souls arrive
At least it looks good.

alot of games trying to copy uncharted
while ND moved to something way different than uncharted with the last of us
gotta love ND always want to be different
crash
Jack and daxter
uncharted
TLOU
uncharted single player: amazing
uncharted 2 single player: amazing
uncharted 2 multi player: Pretty good
uncharted 3 single player: amazing
uncharted 3 multi player: just don't like it
I think i'll pass.
If this game can deliver on all fronts a game in similar feel to Uncharted in game play and quality then everyone wins.
Lets hope they deliver on the promise.

why do they keep saying that?
they even mention the Guardians of Light game.
really looking forward to the game, though i don't know how much i'll play the multiplayer.
