Uncharted vs Tomb Raider and the battle for 2015's best adventure game

PSU takes a look at the similarities and differences between the two big franchises, and asks the question: which blockbuster game are you putting your money on?

Cindy-rella3511d ago (Edited 3511d ago )

Its sort of silly to think a proven and amazing development team like naughty dog wont make the better product which will be uncharted 4. People can think what they want and i know its possible that tomb raider has a chance at being better product over uncharted 4 but ill go on the side of history and a proven dev team like naughty dog who time and time again makes amazing games that are game of the year contenders.

I know uncharted 4 will either match the orders graphics or surpass it and we can guarantee that the game will have an amazing story as well as amazing game play. Its not really a contest when you look at the resume of the dev teams and compare their previous work. Chances are very high that uncharted 4 will be a game of the year contender and i can almost guarantee most people will be talking about uncharted 4 and get uncharted 4 more than the new tomb raider.

My money is on the franchise that has the proven track record of one of the best ever developers behind it. Although I will end up owning both in the end anyway, I already know which will be the better game by a mile.

WeAreLegion3511d ago

Both will be excellent games. Just get both and stop comparing. I'm more excited for Uncharted 4, but we all have different tastes. We all know they'll both rock.

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire95210d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro210d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot210d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist210d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx210d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic1881210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire95210d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist210d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp210d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg210d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion210d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
