Thirteen1 - You’ve probably heard about Project Adventurer by now; the upcoming FPS from Farm 51 has caused quite the internet stir for apparently looking like an Uncharted rip-off. But the thing is…this promising game doesn't look like a rip-off at all. And that’s coming from a bona fide Uncharted fan boy.
Maybe if they didn't make their character and sidekick look so similar, they wouldn't get the comparisons...
http://s2.n4g.com/media/11/...
First in-game screenshots and details for The Farm 51's, Adventurer
So it has snowy mountains, pirateships and temple ruins in addition to the jungle enviroment and samey characters. Not bad at all.
Graphics looks not even close to Uncharted. Uncharted Lightning is still the King!
Even though I love the Uncharted Franchise, I don't really get the kind of stupidity behind calling anything that is a Treasure hunter game an 'Uncharted Wannabe' when Uncharted itself was 'inspired' by Tomb Raider, that and this game is an FPS not an Action adventure which is Third person....
How is this being called a WANNABE when it's an entirely different Genre and it's just simply Treasure-hunter related? By all means if Nolan North voiced someone then it'd be too similar from that alone, but...
Fanboys getting up in any arms and calling this game a Wannabe or Copy is just plain stupid....
Uncharted wasn't inspired by Tomb Raider.
Both were inspired by the same 'pulp adventure genre' foundations, which have existed for decades. In the form of books, comics and movies.
Gameplay is very different. Tomb Raider was much more of a platformer and Uncharted is more of an action/shooter (with platforming). Well, at least until Crystal Dynamics decided to take a more Uncharted-ish approach with the reboot.
Now, regardless of this game's FPS approach, look at the visual design. Some of these screens look a bit like Shambhala from UC2.
So sure, there are some similarities.
But that doesn't mean that it's a clone or wannabe or rip off.
the author is obviously a fanboy as well. there have been plenty of games in this setting since pitfall... especially in the isometric style of game. then there are movies over the last 100 years.
No one above said anything of what you claimed.
Typical hater. You're quick to point the finger at Sony for "copying"(based on your commnet history you bashed Battle Royale, LBPK and Move) but also quick to defend other games, just like you're doing now. Are you sure you're not the one with the double standards.
And this game has gotten no where near the same amount of criticism that Uncharted did about it being a "Tomb Raider" rip off.
uncharted is still the best console looking game untill the last of us,beyond 2 souls are out
@patriot
This game borrows heavily from Uncharted and battle Royale borrows heavily from SSB. OK? Can you please shut up about this already? There can be no defence for Battle royale since even the devs say it borrows heavily from SSB. Noone should be dumb enough to try and say they are not related somehow. If they do just point and laugh.
Same as this game. I've seen many many fanboys say this game is nothing like Uncharted so you going on about SDF is kinda dumb. Just point and laugh I tell you.
looks like Call of Duty and Uncharted had sex in The Farm 51
weird shit can happen in area 51
I don't get how this is a wannabe. It's like saying Assassin's Creed 3 is an American Conquest wannabe just because the settings are similar.
I think that as long as you don't compare everything in this game to uncharted then it may actually be a pretty good game. But since they are so similar, it's going to be impossible to ignore the comparisons. That may be the downfall of the game from the get go
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in one of the screenshots it seems as if this is an FPS. Without the third person traversal, cover/shooting, and stealth mechanics, I don't see how this can be like Uncharted, apart from the setting (which if anything is an Indiana Jones setting :P)
I get it, though I wouldn't call it an Uncharted wannabe if it's an FPS.
Isn't it obvious? The title is designed to bait you into clicking on this and then his site.
I only clicked here to point this out.
If it has aliens it's a halo clone, if it has jungle settings it's an uncharted clone, etc etc.
If it has characters from that system into a beat-em-up game, it's a Smash Bros clone...
Haha
Yup. So true. I wish people would judge PS All Stars by its own merits and not complain that it reminds them of Smash Bros. Smash Bros. is fun no doubt, but it's gonna be cool to see how Sony's version plays.
On Topic, this game might LOOK like Uncharted but I have my doubts about it being anywhere near as GOOD as Uncharted in story or gameplay.
I like how people praise Uncharted as the king but when someone takes inspiration from it at all they bash that game... Wouldn't you want them to take inspiration? If you loved that game wouldn't you want to play something that can be just as fun but with a new twist?
Im interested in this game.
lol
Naughty Dog: "Gritty Xbox Shooters Shaped Uncharted"
http://www.nowgamer.com/new...
is uncharted a tomb raider wannabe....................... ....no, just because it has a similar setting doesn't make it a wannabe.
The Uncharted-Tomb Raider thing was always a weak defense. Aside from temples, these games have nothing in common. You might as well say Uncharted is like The Legend of Zelda. Makes as much sense.
..... Lets see what they have in common.
Athletic main character
Platforming
Third person camera
Very similar settings
... you want me to continue into things you may not have noticed? It was never a weak defence and Uncharted is a tomb raider wannabe but its a good game and i dont care and neither does anyone else.
Ever since Uncharted 2 released everything is a wannabe if it even looks similar (although there was one clear rip off a while back)...
In fact i'll take this one step further! Im not buying Battle Royale because its a wannabe SSMB...
Pekolie
How many games have unathletic, out-of-shape characters? There are literally too many 3rd-person games to count, which all probably have platforming to an extent. You just described adventure games in general with the first 3 things.
It's funny how the new Uncharchick game is basically, verbatim, ripping off Uncharted's style, but people still think a few similarities made Uncharted a Tomb Raider rip off...
Ironically, the latest Tomb Raider game is more of an Uncharted clone than a 'Tomb Raider' game. Now that's funny
Necrovision is pretty damned awesome, can't wait to see what Farm51 come up with.
"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."
Am I the only one that thinks the start of the video (the environment) looks a lot like Uncharted Drakes Fortune?
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!
@Drithe
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 ;)
He's gone for the week :( ...went to see a Bell Biv DeVoe concert
EDIT below:
Theres some problems but...I'm getting there....I'm getting there
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
Aww... poop... I want to see BBD in concert!!! That would be dope.
On Topic: The game looks kinda cool even if it is an Uncharted rip off.
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??
Had anyone watched that video without the headline they would have immediately said "That was fast. Didn't know they were making an Uncharted FPS!"
Show me one pre-Uncharted Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider game that looks like that. Just one! I dare you.
@ ARMY
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.
that scene, looks identical to a scene in drakes fortune when you just find the U-boat in the middle of the amazon....
@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...
@h311rais3r
"seriously was not aware Naughty Dog invented the jungle!!"
Such is the power of Playstation.
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.
How dare you say anything has better graphics than Uncharted? That's blasphemy.
First of all how can you say that from a few non HD videos we have seen so far? thats just fanboysim at its best..
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
Valkyria Cronicles is pretty original.
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.
In PC terms it doesn't look that good at all, in comparison with a lot of games.
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.
Ya funny how this is a rip off... Super Smash Bros....errrrr I mean the Sony Smash Bros isn't.
I see what you did there Chunky Lover. ;)
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.
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.
@Prince_Dim-Lu
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.
@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.
What? A sane comment from you jazz? Are you drunk? LOL!
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.
@Prince_Dim-Lu
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.
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.
@_Aarix_
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.
What a pain finding this
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
30 min vid of it, can't find anything else
Thats a old video. The site has a new video. But you can also check it over here: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Nice find... Going to watch it now...looking like it has Historical supernatural mytholigy? Wonder if the player will have magic/powers
never mind was trying to find a video of the game and i found one.
