Tomb Raider Reboot Inspired By Uncharted?

NextGN writes: "When Uncharted: Drake’s fortune launched it was ridiculed for being a Tomb Raider knock-off despite actually having very little in common with the actual game except for the protagonists being a charismatic adventurer treasure hunters. The same logic could have been used to argue that Lara Croft is Indiana Jones with tits."

It better not be too much like Uncharted. Fighting the same human enemies over and over again gets old (those dudes dressed as yetis weren't fun to fight at all.)

Nostaljerk?! EPIC WIN! Great video!

[Kitchen_Sink]

Nostaljerk. I smell a new internet meme coming from this. By the way Mr. Eskimo. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite faces of gaming. First with the KZ3 leak and then with this epic vid. Keep it up, bro.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

Tomb Raider and Uncharted are two completely different type of games.

[BrownRanger]

True. Yet when Uncharted came out everyone called it a Tomb Raider rip off. Like Eskimo said, they are all ripping Indiana Jones off. LOL.

[Nate-Dog]

I'm getting really sick of almost every game nowadays being compared to Uncharted. I know there are similarities between these two, but there weren't between RDR and UC2, and there weren't between Batman:AA and UC2, and there weren't between Call of Duty and UC2 and... Can we just look at the game itself now?
TR has been around for more than long enough and been through enough surely to not need comparison to Uncharted or any other sort of similar game / movie or anything now.

[FiLTHY ESKiMO]

Just like Gears of War and Uncharted are two completely different games - but people still say that Uncharted is a GeoW rip off. That would mean that Tomb Raider and Gears of War are the same kind of game. Uncharted seems to rip everything off. :)

[Cajun Chicken]

Uncharted improves everything that Gears of War debuted, tenfold. Right from Drake's Fortune.

[kaveti6616]

Everything? Tenfold? Does Uncharted have ten times the gore? Ten times the chainsaws? No.

[seij555]

You guys are both wrong, ever hear of RE4?

[Imalwaysright]

The 1st 3 Prince of Persia games are much more similar in terms of gameplay to TR than Uncharted is.

@ Brownranger It were the 360 fanboys that said that Uncharted was a TR rip off and PS3 fanboys denied it. Now the very same PS3 fanboys that said that Uncharted wasnt a TR rip off are saying that Uncharted "killed" TR. The irony... no wait its not irony its just stupid fanboy "logic"

[theafroman]

more like it had to reinvent itself cause of uncharted

[Arup02]

"Shut up!" lol

[Tilian]

I remember when a lot of people were all over Uncharted 1 for being a lame Tomb Raider ripoff. Oh, how times have changed.

[godmoney]

I don't really care for Tomb Raider...
CAN'T WAIT for Uncharted 3 though...

[Death]

So...
The new Tomb Raider is inspired by Uncharted which was inspired by Tomb Raider which was inspired by Indiana Jones? And here I thought these were just games sitting comfortably in the adventure genre.

Agh! The way this video is edited is annoying. B/

[GoldPS3]

Drake and Lara on a game together would be epic.

[Komega]

Obvious article is obvious

[AlienFodder]

I want to see a game where Nathan and Lara are treasure hunting together. It would be all kinds of awesome and so freakin' sexy!

[DarkFantasy]

yeah Lara could be the treasure and drake could go find her hehe.

[level 360]

Yes they are absolutely similar especially with main theme of treasure and puzzle features.

Pity Tomb Raider became very lacking in progress for it's sake and fan base.

I think most of them ( me included ) moved to Uncharted.

*They really need to hire first and foremost good writers' and then excellent programmers' to get Tomb Raider back.

[dragonelite]

Dont know but it seems to be more like castlevania and metroid then uncharted. A sort openworld vs linear kind of thing atleast thats what i got from the gameinformer scans.

[Bolts]

Is there a reason why this guy is wearing a gas mask?

[Corrwin]

Uh, it is... Crystal Dymanics and Eidos tried hard to get the Indy license. So they just made Indy a girl, and the rest is history.

Anyway, the more TR borrows from Uncharted the better. When Uncharted was release, it was already a better game than all the TRs since the original, then came U2, and well - of course they want to mimic that.

I would rather Crystal say "He Uncharted is the better game, so we're going to see what they do right, and do that", than "Uncharted is such a knock-off we're sticking to what we know is right!" (which is what they've been doing since 2007).

[Bolts]

Get your facts straight. Crystal Dynamics did not make Tomb Raider, Core Design did.

[Corrwin]

I'm sorry I confused one mediocre developer for another. It won't happen again.

[prettyboy1]

LOL!U FUNNY
