They even have gun just like starcraft!!!11!! and the aliens in Halo use enegry weapons, just like the Protoss!!! WHAT A RIP OFF!!!!!!111!!!!! Zomg! Bungie is teh copierz!

/sarcasm

seriously people...whats with the reaching? this is wat those Gears/Uncharted threads look like. Sure Uncharted used gears for inspiration, but they are 2 completely different games, with different settings, and stories....well atleast 1 of them has a story (low blow >.

But aren't the story and environments kind of secondary to the actual gameplay?

I think people are trying to say the mechanics, movement, animations, and actual playing of the game is very similar to Gears.

dude...how can u put animations in there? Animations of Uncharted are so much better than Gears. As for mechanics, you do realize that the cover system was not invented by Gears right? and movement...how else are u supposed to move? he is human...should he fly? and for them being similar...Halo 3 is similar to perfect dark because they are FPSes. sure Halo is more fun, but they are still very similar...so i dont get why ppl make threads for Uncharted/Gears when basically everygame could have such a thread.

I agree that that connection could be made between many games. Yes, i realize the cover system was not new to gears. But there are far less 3rd Person cover & shoot games than FPS. And the biggest one is Gears. That doesn't change the fact that the covering, rolling out of cover, shooting, and grenades is almost exactly how Gears did it.

The developers said they used Gears as reference, and it looks to a lot of people like they borrowed very heavily.

I agree with you, but i dont think it warrants an entire thread. Xbots make it seem like its a carbon copy of Gears which is kind of pathetic.

touche' :)

LOL WUT in denial aren't ya?... Aliens, guns, a futuristic suit! what do you expect from a sci-fi shooter?

As for uncharted and gears... only a cow or a blind guy would say that they aren't similar in more ways than one:

Its not just the cover!

-Its not just the environment (from on the spot)

-Its not just the weapon selection menu

-Its not just the dodging movement

-Its not just that they are third person shooters

If it was one no one would care.... but everthing in that list is exactly or very very similar to GeOW!

Apparantly "naughty dog" were inspired by GeOW... LMAO more like we made a game pretty much like gears with some new moves and different environments... because we are lazy and un-imaginative to think up our own idea.

But your point about how their thread is stupid deserves an entire thread?

Why would a game like Uncharted need multiplayer?

If it could be done...*looks at GeOW and Stranglehold*... why shouldn't it be needed?
