The more influentlal franchise Uncharted or Gears?

just watched anotherhighly hyped game from E3http://www.spike.com/video-clips/kuz5t2/all-access-weekly-exclusive-first-look-at-star-wars-1313

I mean damn, even down to the commentary during action and attempted humor.

I don't even have to say which game I am talking about because it's THAT apparent. Why do so many developers want their game to be like...the franchise I'm talking about?

The other franchise is of similar quality but isn't as influential to developers making their new games? Thoughts!!!

...............

first game that comes to mind when you watch this vid?

*edit*

link updated

Gears.

Gears

Gears.

Does it matter? The only influence Uncharted has had is on Tomb Raider :o

Gears by far.

first thing that came to mind? "Star Wars: 1313 G..." This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Viacom.eboyishere

Seriously? I was just watching this a minute ago

Gears.

Gears influenced Uncharted, thus Gears.

Sega with binary domain, Quantam theory, Uncharted by stealing horde mode, Halo by stealing horde mode, and most games that stole horde mode.

Uncharted has third person based shooting and cover mechanics...other than that there are NO similarities between Gears and uncharted.

Having similar game play mechanics isn't the same as drawing influence from a game. You have those two mixed up.

Gears = hulking military guys whth big guns and foul language. ND did not draw and influence from gears at all but obviouly other games drew influence from UC gameplay, protagonist and style of story telling .

Gears, it's not fun tho.

influential in what sense? But i'm going to say Gears but looking at the new Tomb Raider its clear that uncharted has also inspired game devs also

Influential... Gears... Uncharted...

Binary Domain comes to mind, they copied it further than anyone I have ever seen even down to the bad story. Mass Effect 3 was a big game that mapped everything to A which Gears is known for. Spec Ops: The Line had some resemblance to Gears. You've also got the games that use something similar to Horde Mode such as Mass Effect 3.

Gears, it's not fun tho.

I would say Uncharted, because apparentley every damn game that was previewed during E3 "ripped off Uncharted".

Although I like Uncharted more, I believe Gears has made the biggest impact in the gaming world

Gears has had a larger impact overall but they've both certainly left their mark on a sh*tton of games this gen.

Every action adventure game is going to try and copy Uncharted. Look at Tomb Raider, the original TP action adventure copies UC back. Every game will try to copy it in story telling.kuraimen

yeah,

the people in this thead saying gears are funny. There are no high profile games out or coming out that show devs trying to clone the gears formula. Drake is a human every day guy who can get hurt, that's why Laura in the new tomb raider is being shown all baged up as some kind of highlight.

Gears has steriod meat heads little to no diversity in gameplay other than shooting and stoic self serious main character...... what high profile games coming out are copying that formula?

So why are you asking the question when you apparently already know the answer?

Gears didnt invent Horde mode. Vietcong and Max Payne 2 had similar mode. There may have been games before that which had it. We also know there were plenty of game with cover as wellCranler

Yes, but there's no denying Gears 2 popularised the mode. Every second game nowadays has a "Horde" mode and you didn't see too many of them before 2008.

Gears. Uncharted has influenced the new tomb raider. That's about it. That said we should really be talking about RE4 if we want to start this whole "influenced TPS" bull.

Horde Mode was built from 'tower defense' type of games. Gears of War didn't create cover, it evolved the cover system. Most games before Gears you had to hold a trigger or something to enter cover while Gears mapped everything to A and made it the most fluid cover mechanic to date.

because the answer was obvious.

people in this thread saying gears are funny. as I have said before, more influential. How is gears influencial when every new high profile game is trying to copy Uncharted cenematic, vonerable human, dynamic gameplay? At E3 we have big name devs put their most ambitions projects on display that were attemps at uncharted style game experience.

lol, how is gears more influencial. it's silly to say...did you even watch the vid I posted? it's obvious which is more influencial

Don't ask a question if you only want to hear one answer and criticize any opposing view points. Its incredibly douchey.

Didn't watch the gameplay since I don't like Star Wars much

Wasn't Gears gameplay influenced by this? :(

Not the point of this thread though. It's supposed to be an uncharted circle jerk, but semi-backfired.

ispeakfact

That's the first time I've ever heard that, try Bionic Commando.

Edit: Just looked, it's Resident Evil 4, Bionic Commando, and Killswitch (obviously) that influenced Gears. Not that it matters though as everyone is influenced from somewhere, games today are more derived from Gears.
