Uncharted 2 is offical now the Gears 2 look a like double.

The new screens of uncharted 2 should get people to realize this one thing. True cows, you're excluded because you probably wont see what Im saying.

Uncharted 2 now looks exactly like Gears 2.

I just received Gameinformer, flipped over to uncharted 2 preview and guess what I saw: one of the enemies in uncharted 2 carrying a Boom shield.

scroll down the page to other images, I see a war torn city with the replicate color pallate as major Gears 2 acts. The grittiness, the acute attention to texture details.. no denying it, Uncharted 2 is now a gears 2 look alike clone. Swap out Nathan Drake for Marcus phenix and you get another iteration of Gears 2.

Back then people were ragging on gears for its new pallete and questionable shift toward vibrancy. But now its look like Gears 2 was the trend setter, just as it was the trend setter when the first game came out.

How will Cow rag on Gear 2 artstyle now, when one of their own beloved games looks the same?

thoughts?

Hmm, seriously?

Did Gears of War invent the Riot Shield?

Uncharted 2 is 5000x as colorful as Gears of War, they don't even look remotely similiar.

Is Drake a 500 pound monster?

The list goes on.

not but the concept of moving cover heavily integreated into gameplay? Then yes. And the animation of the enemy cowering behind the boom shield, its all too familiar. And I dont think its a coincidence.

so you're saying that moving cover was an intergral part of MGS3 then..

Im talking on the basis that Uncharted 1 took up the cover system right after Gears 1 made it popular, and now that the moving cover in Gears 2 became intergral, we're suddenly seeing it in uncharted 2.. more than a coincidence?

Couth_

Yet the similarity between MGS and Gears never entered my mind. Uncharted 2 LOOKs like Gears 2. Mechanics sharing similarities reinforce that visual presentation.

I think if you can name more things that Uncharted and Gears 2 are similar at than whats difference, you got yourself a clone.

Moving cover? What are you talking about? It a enemy with a riot shield. Like others have said this has been seen in plenty of games, MGS, Rainbow six series, Counter Strike. Get over yourself

[QUOTE="IshmaelSonata"][QUOTE="DigitalDecay77"]

There are guys with boom shields in MGS 3, Gears blatantly stole the idea from it.

Thoughts? :roll:Sully28

Okay so similar mechanics spring up in games of all genres, fine, finite. Get back to the topic that I was trying to vaguely suggest in the OP. Can you really not see that Uncharted 2 looks really really similar to Gears 2. And now the big question, does that really bother you?!

So now we are judging games on color........... wtf?

I am super confused

epic fail

All games these days have good graphics, can't we just enjoy all the eye candy instead of just saying "Any game that is not the best looking game is a bad looking game"?death919

The new screens of uncharted 2 should get people to realize this one thing. True cows, you're excluded because you probably wont see what Im saying.

Uncharted 2 now looks exactly like Gears 2.

I just received Gameinformer, flipped over to uncharted 2 preview and guess what I saw: one of the enemies in uncharted 2 carrying a Boom shield.

scroll down the page to other images, I see a war torn city with the replicate color pallate as major Gears 2 acts. The grittiness, the acute attention to texture details.. no denying it, Uncharted 2 is now a gears 2 look alike clone. Swap out Nathan Drake for Marcus phenix and you get another iteration of Gears 2.

Back then people were ragging on gears for its new pallete and questionable shift toward vibrancy. But now its look like Gears 2 was the trend setter, just as it was the trend setter when the first game came out.

How will Cow rag on Gear 2 artstyle now, when one of their own beloved games looks the same?

Yes, yes Uncharted uses a similar game mechanic as Gears, but lets not act as if Gears is full of originality otherwise I'll assume you started gaming this gen. You know if it wasn't for Kill.Switch's cover system and RE4's over-the-shoulder veiw, Cliffy would not had been inspired to make Gears in the first place.dark-warmachine
