GameRevolution:
The launch of Tomb Raider is just a few of days away, and excitement for the game is unsurprisingly at an all-time high. I was lucky enough to get a chance to chat with Crystal Dynamics' Head of Studio, Darrell Gallagher, and Creative Director, Noah Hughes a bit about Lara's upcoming adventure, and learned quite a bit about the game's artistic direction.
The similarities between Tomb Raider and Uncharted are hard to ignore, but Crystal believes there is plenty that differentiates the two, especially in terms of gameplay and tone. Gallagher pointed out the game's drastically different structure, combining more linear, cinematic portions with larger hub sections that encourage exploration. Tomb Raider also doesn't have that light-hearted feel of an Uncharted game, as the tone is far more dark and does "not pull any punches."
In my Tomb Raider iOS review, I look at whether or not the game runs well enough on mobile to justify parting with your cash.
The new Tomb Raider game shares the same “universe” as the live-action Amazon Prime series starring Sophie Turner as Lara Croft.

I love Uncharted 2, but I am looking forward to that cinematic quality with a bit more to do in the world. When you only really have to use the jump and shoot buttons, things can get boring. Hopefully there's some variation in Tomb Raider.

I'm very eager to play this game. I love advancements in emotional and mature games.
Doesn't bother me at all that this game looks like an Uncharted clone. I never got into Tomb Raider because it was clunky as hell. Uncharted is an excellent mechanical base to copy.
The "sexual backlash" is idiotic. Go find something else to be offended by, sensitive people.
The difference is, Uncharted has very life like believable characters (all of them)... Tomb raider has very dull and generic characters... I have been playing TB for 3 hours now, generic plot, friends gets captured for a ritual to bring back... Gets boring after a while.
