Tomb Raider Devs “Blown Away “ By Uncharted 2, “It Broke New Ground”

By now, you would’ve thought that the praises Uncharted 2 has been receiving would end. After all, it’s leading up to a year since the game was released. But not so; because in interview after interview, game developers from around the world continue to talk about the game in a positive light, and how Naughty Dog has set a clear path that others must follow.

[RIPSKATEDESTROY]

and with good reason, uncharted 2 was a game that really REALLY got you glued!!

[Noobasaurus_REX]

To my pants

[NecrumSlavery]

T9 owns a PS3. He's on my friends list. Just ignore it when he makes non PS3 comments. He loves PS3 as much as everyone else, but likes making snappy comebacks. He an ok guy.

[Focker-420]

This is obviously his second account so he can grab his own ass.

then sell your PS3. =3

[Boody-Bandit]

even after I got platinum I went back completed the game 2 more times!

[hakis86]

Uncharted is the new tomb Radier, and as I tried the Tomb Radier demo on my PS3 a few years back, I relized that Uncharted: Drakes Fortune was the new standard. Tomb Raider was old fashioned, diffucult controls, etc.

[DORMIN]

I enjoy the Tomb Raider games, even the new ones are actually pretty good. If you didn't like the new Tomb Raider controls, you should try the old Tomb Raider controls for a good laugh.

Uncharted 2 was just on another level, some really damn groundbreaking stuff. Its pretty clear how influential its becoming to many developers.

[Why o why]

who are you again...are you even a developer or have anything to do with games other than being an end user. Even if you dont think uncharted 2 broke new ground, people in the industry do and their opinions hold more weight than yours do. Im just glad that a dev from a rival game can say good things about a product that isn't theirs instead of the usual negative BS....kinda like your comment T9 huh *sigh*

@NecrumSlavery

im sure he does, and im sure he is a kool dude. In fact ive got many like him on my psn list. They love winding the sensitive guys up most of the time but sometimes they do actually troll.

[Vojkan]

“It Broke New Ground” - no sh1t

[pinkyxyz]

remember when that bridge fell in shambala? heard they built a mcdonald's there recently...........

[Dylantalon1]

The game is amazing but it wouldnt have been possible without the ps3. I'll say this with the utmost confidence: ps3 is the future and the future is ps3.

[RedDead]

Could've been done on PC.

[gillri]

yes but not a a PC with 256MB RAM, and a 7800 GTX

[presto717]

but where is pc halo? or pc killzone? or pc uncharted? or pc god of war? Pc has all the power and customization but the games are nowhere to be found....

[nickjkl]

got dammit gillri i thought we went over this already

the ps3 has 256MB of ram @ 700Mhz and 256 MB of ram @ 3.2Ghz all of which is used for graphics

and you cant say it is comparable to a 7800gtx because the cpu helps the gpu do its job

[RedDead]

He just said it wouldn't have been possible without the ps3. Yeah whatever...This site is getting rediculous.
Also Pc users don't take the BS console only users take

[emk2004]

i dont blame people for not making god of war/ uncharted quality games on pc why should they? the people say they want these games, then they steal them. the power is easly there to make these game and more but people need to quit pirating.

[Baka-akaB]

what's the point of pc only users chiming in ?
It's not like it's a genre particularly cared for on pc , nor are fighting games , and most hack and slash of the dmc/gow type .

Hell the typical answers you get from 100% pc fanboys is usually that they dont care at all , instead of admitting pc got its genres , and consoles have theirs , for everyone's benefits

[Ocelot525]

@gillri

do you have a pc with 256 XDR ram?
the XDR ram of the ps3 is lightning fast, way faster than even DDR3 on dual channel

do you have a pc with 7 3.2 ghz 64bit cores ?(the SPUs count also as cores, naughty dog has confirmed that they work pretty the same for gaming development)

[inception123]

it couldn't of been done on pc because sony owns ND end of discussion. so how about you and the other pc fanboys crawl back under your rocks and continue to be irrelevant.

[RedDead]

Hahaha you think i'm a Pc fanboy? Because you don't agree it can be done on a more powerful Machine? Rediculous. I'm far from a fanboy on any platform, I mean jesus, look at dylantalon's comment and your calling ME a fanboy. He's not saying anything about ND either, he's saying it can only be done on Ps3.

[Baka-akaB]

I dont know if you are a fanboy or not , but then again what's even your point ? It's as if some ferrari driver was to butt in in a conversation between kart drivers and bragging about his superior horsepower...

Do pc users need reassurance repetitivily stating the obvious ? If a perpetually evolving machine didnt perform better , i think that everyone would throw them out .

So what's the point ? The platform do not care for the same kind of games , nor does it have a chance anyway , besides emulation of getting most console exclusives

[xTruthx]

Thats y I left pc gaming presto

[jerethdagryphon]

ocelot the only thing differentiating spus from true cores is the lack of a bootstrap system, oh and there in order rather then out of order

but yea it takes in take manipulates it outputs it its close enough to a core

[Cajun Chicken]

That's what Naughty Dog does. Console geniuses.

[gunnerforlife]

top 5 greatest games of all Time! not because it brought new stuff to the genre but because it made it Perfect, in every way!!

[MGS_fanatico_]

"They broke new ground, rebuilt that ground just to break it again - Why you ask? Because they can..."

[chiwoo]

Uncharted 2 is a great game its great to see its still being talked about

[HumanStark]

I honestly can't get enough of the game. I was so sad when it ended because I was just that into the entire experience.

[SSKILLZ]

aww dude hell yeah same here, its just to awesome, i played it over and over until i got platinum on it.

[bjornbear]

and SO FAR!!! only plat.

won't be the case for very long though =3

[swiftshot93]

Honestly the only thing I can see them improving for Uncharted 3 is the AI. It stuck out as unpolished compared to the rest of the game and made the stealth parts a bit weak (even though its better than most games). Im very interested in seeing where they take the the next game, and if they can improve the game as drastically as they did with the second (if thats possible).

[LordMarius]

Who wasnt?

[jerethdagryphon]

nathen drake he signed uo and got a bum deal :) falling off a cliff as a tutorial inst nice

[Matthew94]

comon ts a good game but all u fanboys are treating it like its the holy grail of gaming.

get over it. decent single player
butchered multiplayer end of story

[kanetheking]

,

[inception123]

you got to love how clowns like him talk about uc2 being overrated yet it has won more awards then any other game, sold over 3.5 mil, has a 96 on metacritics and just about every dev has said it was amazing and are now using it as their inspiration for their games. i guess some people are just bitter because they don't have a game anywhere near as good on the platform they own so they try and make it look less impress by b!tching about it but only end up looking like a jeleaous child.

[scar-leg]

The multiplayer is good and still played by many so I have no idea what you're talking about...

[TANUKI]

Well said Inception.

[Buller_Proofish]

The Tomb Raider Devs were too busy making virtual tits to make a good game.

[F4sterTh4nFTL]

but Uncharted 2 being more polished.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Single player and multiplayer...I know a lot of people think the multi player is average...but thats is how it is with most TPS multiplayer...

[Non_sequitur]

I was not pleased with their last Tomb Raider game. It actually made my PS3 freeze 5 times! The story wasn't great, the combat was horrible, there was too few bosses, and I could go on. They better plan this next one out very well.

[sasukeftw]

can you believe it am getting uncharted 2 tommorrow!cant wait am so fucking excited i've tried to avoid all the spoilers and finally the day has come.

[kanetheking]

hehehhehe

[ranmafandude]

all these ps3 exclusives are just influencing other devs to make their game better.

[J-Smith]

just think of uncharted 3 to *OMG* i can't wait

lots of ps3 only games have blown-me-away to

[ranmafandude]

I've experienced so much more gaming euphoria in these past 5 months since i got my ps3 than almost 2 years of owning a xbox 360 lol.

[SephireX]

I'd advise anyone who hasn't played UC2 yet to play it immediately. Beforehand, hit yourself hard in the face for not playing it yet. You deserve it!

[DigitalAnalog]

- A multitudes of area's to play.
- Platforming
- Puzzles
- Collecting keys/items to continue the game.

Other than the horrid control scheme and the infamous camera, I still love it to death (this is TR: 1 - 3) but yes, Uncharted is the new standard. I just wish it has more water based puzzles (swimming) and relic/key collecting to progress a level to extend game time.

Good to see Tomb Raider devs see quality and appreciate it.

"Every developer irrespective of what game they’re building now has to look at the competition out there and realise in order to have somebody put down their hard-earned cash, you have to continually deliver something new and exciting and worth that $60.”

Glad Sony is on a roll pushing game-tech.

-End statement

[TANUKI]

*nods*

I like seeing people give credit, where credit is due. Props to the Tomb Raider devs.

[Spenok]

Of course they were blown away. They took the TR formula, and made it something absolutly amazing.

[STRAIGHTASL]

is the best game in the world ever!
