BM&R:
It’s not too often that I see games that very brazenly copy other games. Typically, I don’t have very good things to say about them, but I’m honestly impressed by Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta. Why? Because it looks like some serious effort went into making it. Somebody put heart and soul into recreating Nathan Drake and naming him something different, somebody worked hard at creating a villain I don’t care about and somebody put some real effort into the script to recreate Nathan Drake's sense of humor.

Its the studio's first game. And they are not triple A developers like Naughty dog.
News flash! Not every game development studio is world famous. there are billions of studios you never heard about, and they are making 'crappy unknown' games. Like this. This one just got in the spotlight for copying Uncharted. Which is without a doubt not a secret for them. Otherwise they wouldnt make it so obvious.
Doesn't make sense most of all since it's not a series that garnered a HUGE amount of sales, but still.
No game that promises zero change, zero innovation, zero creativity, should be 'looked at'. Which is why I've not played any Call of Duty games since COD1, after I tried COD4 and saw the lineup, I knew to stay away, lol.
An I thought Tomb Raider was ripping Uncharted off lol.
Dont get me wrong, I love Uncharted, in fact U2 was my game of the year for 2009 by far, but it doesn't really bring anything new to the table does it?
If you think Uncharted plays anything like a Tomb Raider game then you're crazy. Where as the new Tomb Raider game has taken Uncharted's gameplay and even copy pasted the multiplayer (even the menu's look the same).
Anyway you can't really compare Uncharted taking things from other games to this "Unearthed" game taking things from Uncharted because...well.....look at it! lol
Your so focused on this game being a ripoff that your forgeting that this looks like one hell of a downlodable title. Its one thing to say this isn't for you, but to completely trash it in the name of blind developer loyalty just reinforces the N4G stereotype.
As for unearthed, it is a poor mans uncharted no doubt
Not at all.
I think it looks great for a downloadable game.
I just think it would of been better if they had come up with their own ideas instead of putting themselves into a position of being "that Uncharted clone" game.
If I had the chance to make a video game I wouldn't be wasting that opportunity to make something that has already been made.
Nothing to do with brand loyalty like you claim it's about contributing to the gaming industry and helping it grow. clones stagnate the industry for example all the developers trying to clone COD has had a negative impact on a lot of games and beloved franchises.
In THIS manner, they ARE making this industry grow.
Both franchises will make each other more popular. Everyone wins. This is a GOOD thg. If I offended u with my previous comment, I apologize. Shouldnt have made assumptions of u like that.
Next.

I don't see why a game being a ripoff should stop anyone from enjoying it..then again this is the Internet, the land where people are generally negative about everything and find the craziest excuses to bring something down to feel better about themselves.
Your point about "it being fun, so who cares?" is fine, except there was some pretty questionable mechanics in the video.
It looks like its trying to do too much. The more you try to do, means there will be more for people to examine. Example: Adding voice acting will lead to people examining it for flaws, and so on.
Whatever strengths it might have had will be lost amongst all its flaws. In which case 'less is more' might have been a better approach.
What its trying to do will be judged and based on that video, it looks downright awful.
When you mention N4G.COM to ACTUAL gamers...they laugh you.
This game is an obvious rip off of Uncharted. It's such a ripoff of the game I actually laughed at the gumption in this developer doing so. LOL...But who cares? Copying is the sincerest form of flattery. This game is obviously directed towards the mobile crowd and a downloadable title and as such...Who cares? I loved Uncharted that I have played all 3 of them 6 times each the minimum and if I can play a game similar to it in any way shape or form on my Smartphone on the go, I am down for that.
I will try it...if it is craptastic and garbage then delete.
However in no way will I follow the horde on this site that see a game...hate on it because its not on their reach around system of choice and never even tried it. How childish is that?
This is why this site is now laughed at and not taken seriously whatsoever.
By the way for ppl that dont know before TR there was pitfall and treasure hunter duhhhhhhhhh and before that movies like Indiana Jones and Alan Quartermain so whats the point? All games take ideas from other games, movies and real life but most dont try to copy and paste like the above mentioned do.
There was another game that was just like Gears i forgot what it was and it was a terrible close but was indded a clone.
Main character looks and sounds similar to drake.
Enemy looks like Lazaravich.
cinimatic gameplay similar to Uncharted.
Theme similar to Uncharted
wow.
Sorry that just looks horrible. It's not even the fact it looks like a complete rip from Uncharted even the name.. but the fact it's just looks god awful, the character designs are terrible.
Looks like they just meshed together a bunch of titles and called it a day while giving it an uncharted theme..
