That said, yes the game takes a shitload from Uncharted.

Also:

* Collectibles also give off that little gleam so you can spot them from a distance.
* The multiplayer, although it has a few of its own wrinkles. But the UI and 60 levels and unlockable character skins are very Uncharted.
* Emphasis on combat over puzzles. What puzzles there are seem to be very simplistic and small.

 

[RagnarokX]

Huh. Curious design choice.

I'm not entirely sure what difficulty does in this game... you can change the difficulty at any time in the middle of the game by pressing start.

 

[Tankshell]

I'm not sure what intelligence has to do with it. The solution to the puzzle is completely obvious as soon as you walk into the room.

I finished it. Now I can go back to having fun.

Solved it on pure luck.

Contradict much? Lol.

 

[Anilusion]

Anybody finished it yet? How long is it? Spoiler tag it if necessary

 

[Alfredo]

Played the game for two hours and I think it's really great so far.

I've never played a Tomb Raider or Uncharted game before, so I guess a lot of this stuff is new for me.

My favorite thing to do in video games is explore and find secret stuff, and it seems like this game has a lot of that. I'm really into it.

Only stuff I haven't liked so far are some of the QTEs. I failed the "dude choking you" one three times. Baaah.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Where's the difference between Uncharted & Tomb Raider ...

I know that sometimes it's way too easy to cross the line between "inspiration" and "copying" but come on...

As a Naughty Dog fan this literally makes me sick. Sony should sue...

So we can expect the next Tomb Raider game roughly 2 years after the release of the next Uncharted game... once they've had time to play and and replicate the 'good bits'?

At least they borrowed their ideas from the best in the business I guess. Hell I'm really enjoying the game.

This puzzle is the work of Satan.

It may singlehandedly bring my score of the game down an entire point. I haven't been this frustrated by a video game in... years?

The work of Satan lol

Only after they get Nolan North to do the voice of Lara. Thats where i draw the line.

Complete bullshit imo, they are strechting it in most scenes and even then they arent that similar. And it's not like Uncharted invented action scenes. There's a scene similar to the train one in almost every Michael Bay movie.

Seriously? Some things in that video are hilarious

*Wooden houses burn easily
*Dead guys live in tombs

No shit?

Copying uncharted for using unstable platforms, ziplines, narrow spaces, sinking ships? It's not like uncharted invented those things.

This seems like a troll video if anything (maybe your post is as well, hard to tell on the internet).

Tomb Raider -> Uncharted -> Tomb Raider

 

[VibratingDonkey]

If anything I'm feeling anti-protective. Lara is damn near invincible.

 

[george_us]

What the fuck do I do in the second tomb?

The puzzle makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[G-Fex]

It doesn't even matter. If you die in Tomb Raider, it will not be because of bullets.

yeah it'll be cause of shitty QTEs.

Apparently the island is filled with knockoffs of the homeless people from Condemned

Crazy isn't it? Lara is indestructible... wherever bullets aren't involved.

close the window, wait until the first flap opens, wind up the winch in this time and jump on

 

[Pimpbaa]

Yes, Tomb Raider is the one copying, not Dude Raider.

 

[Fracas]

Really digging it so far. Plays like a more open Uncharted, and I have no problems with that.

 

[The Gaming Zen]

As a Naughty Dog fan this literally makes me sick. Sony should sue...

As a Naughty Dog fan you should kneel down and kiss Lara's boots (or Core Design's boots). If it wasn't for Tomb Raider you may never have what Uncharted is today. So many games take from other games, get over it and just enjoy.

 

[B-Dex]

Figured I'd give multi a shot before taking a break... first match total lag fest. Second match de-synced while loading and I had to turn off my PS3.....

Many thanks.

Now that the puzzle is over I'm back to having fun.

The plot is taking an interesting turn...

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Enemies when getting hit by an assault rifle = "ouch that hurt!" like out of a Saturday morning cartoon.



This game doesn't know the importance of tone. It's woefully inconsistent.

To be fair, I laughed my ass off the first time I shot a guy in the leg and he yelled "ouch!"

I wonder if it was a placeholder they left in as a joke, or something. It happens every now and then and makes me giggle every time. They just sound mildly annoyed.

My bud actually joked that they delayed the game just to one up uncharted and see everything they did with 3

 

[Dave1988]

Marvelous, I've just run into a game breaking bug. I've acquired the Rope Ascender and now I'm required to use it on the create to bring it down which creates a passage to the lower decks of the Endurance. Problem is, everytime I use the Rope Asceneder the crate glitches out and never drops down thus making it impossible to progress farther. I've tried reloading my checkpoint and resetting my console. Nothing helps :/

 

[Y2Kev]

Is the classic Tomb Raider theme in the game?

 

[TGO]

The video recording bit is stupid, in Tomb Raider Lara watches those that was recorded on the boat, ie added back story
They ain't even video playbacks in Uncharted, it was elaina looking through the camera while recording Drake at the beginning of a cutscene
I love both games but like before they are both different and have their own identity
Uncharted is a lot more combat action based too

Alright I am restarting the game over on PC because the screenshots thread is killing me. What do I have to know about the QTE's on keyboard so I don't blow a hole through my comp.

 

[sleepykyo]

In what way? U2 was great to me because of the characters, refined shooting and graphics/sound.

I think Tomb Raider has quite different strengths besides graphics.

Better pacing and not throwing waves after wave of enemies. Or at least it seemed that way.

Eh, I don't know. The found footage thing has been fairly common in horror films the last few years. It could have just as easily been Cloverfield, Grave Encounters, etc.

Underworld had a sinking ship as well. And a lot of other stuff is fairly common.

I wouldn't disagree with any conclusions that Tomb Raider doesn't bring anything new to the table though.

Uncharted is a staple of Naughty Dog, and it's not right for another company to basically copy and paste the game and call it their own. Hopefully Sony will sue or something, because this is so wrong.

haha, JOKES

It's honestly a really clever puzzle. It's not even trial and error! As soon as the first panel closes you go.

You know what, so far no but the Theme that is in it does sound like its teasing it with 3 notes like its about to play it but then changes, done on purpose?

Keep noticing these stupid little things. Like, throughout the game Lara's shown freezing and shivering. Take a jacket from one of the guys you killed then you dummy. For your health.

I can see it on the actual site.

Anyway I think I'm gonna do it. I think I'd love it. I was going to use my Gamestop credit toward a 3DS, but I've decided to wait on more color options and to see if they reveal another hardware revision at E3.

[Teleporter]

Guys, i cant play the game cause it crashes all the time on my Nvidia gpu, but what ive played so far its gonna be a great adventure!

One thing bugs me though... in the cgi intro when Lara is traped underwater someone crashes the window and saves her but the continuity of the shot there`s no one running with her... wtf! Whos that guy? where is he when she runs for the jump... Can someone figure this? It was a mistake? Bad continuity? Bad cut? Lara`s hallucinating? anyways ima Director so i pay attention to these kinda things... Rock on!

 

[beast786]

You have to be blind not to see same animation, ledge grasping, auto platform, QTE, set pieces copied from uncharted. The thing that also make uncharted unique is its sense of humor and character which this games lack also the art work and research done by ND on uncharted is absolutely amazing if you do research on culture and history of those region.

That being said. I am loving it. I love uncharted and am Loving this also. TR done a nice job here.

Maybe he knew his friend was dead, he was just relieved that he wasn't talking about food anymore.

I want a pizza

How can you be mad at that puzzle? Its very easy.

Spoiler

Platform mechanism is too fast. If you open the window and then immediately start the platform, it will go trough its cycle before the strongest wind kicks in.

Open window, ~wait for a opening of 2nd window, start platform, jump on it, jump on a ledge. I did it in one try.
