The acting in Uncharted is some of the best but I don't equate that just to the voice acting, I think the graphics, animation and mo-cap all contribute to the overall performance. So just in terms of voice acting I still don't think it's that much worse in Tomb Raider- and certainly if you forget about Uncharted and just compare it to most other games, surely it stands up pretty well?
Glad I'm not alone thinking the voice acting is poor. It's not 'slightly' better in Uncharted either. Uncharted, no matter how you feel about the gameplay is produced to near perfection cinematically. The acting is some of the best, if not the best (and the writing), I've witnessed in a game.
The writing in Uncharted isn't even close to the best writing in any game imo- Planescape Torment, The Walking Dead, The Last Express and plenty of others trump it imo- though it is well above average. Except for the third game, which is a state and brings the average series quality down to almost within TR's reach. -

This thread seems to suggest the opposite in fairness. I can't see why anyone would dislike either but then I'm not take best at understanding anyonejamesi wrote:

Registered 5 years agoTo put it into the movie blockbuster context, I'd say Uncharted is Indiana Jones, TR is Apocalypto. -

Registered 3 years agoUncharted is light years ahead of anything else in terms of its cinematics. It's not so much about the writing, but the way they work with actors to develop characters. Naughty Dog see actors as creative people too, not just tools for a director. Having their own mocap studio helps a lot, as it allows them to spend as much time with the actors as they need. That's why Nate, Chloe and Elena come across as being so much more human than we're used to in games. -

Edit: To give you an aid of what I don't understand about you flawed argument, all I can see in my head is someone saying I loved The Avengers but I thought The Shawshank Redemption was wank.

Registered 2 years agoYou know what? Its not worth it. Ignored.
Anyway, back on topic....
Played a bit more last night. I can kinda see where people are saying it doesnt quite know where or how to end. Turned it on thinking I was going to finish it and its still going...
Not that that's a bad thing neccessarily. Just hope it doesnt start to outstay its welcome.
Still getting new weapons and skills to try out and the setting has changed, so its not getting boring.

The UC acting is terrific, i agree with the other poster, it is light years ahead of anything i seen on a console. La Noire was interesting approach, but still utterly lifeless, the same with heavy rain as well, although theres moments where it does cross the belieavable barrier. I know the UC models are slightly cartoonish compared to them too, but it feels way more 'human' than any other game i played.

Also, in general the set pieces as well are really well designed. I havn't seen that many blockbusters of late, but the last bit in UC3 - With the Rushing sand and moving platforms really impressed me. I havn't really seen anything like that before. Of course you get basic scenes like that, but the whole way they rotate and how the camera pulls you into the action is really impressive. That bit generally wowed me.
Anyway. Glad people are really enjoying this. My sister got the collectors edition with lara figurine and all! Been holding out on getting this till a price drop, but the temptation to get this later on is increasing! starting to crack! Everyone on my FL is playing this.PSN - Cloudsheaven

Registered 2 years agoUncharted 2 is one of my favourite games this gen. TR is up there with it
Tbh, can't understand how gamers don't like both, if you're a fan of that genre.
Be nice to see a sequel on the next gen to see how it progresses.
Fantastic game and a great foundation to build on. -

I'm sure someone said earlier in the thread that the story is set before the original games so maybe it can evolve into something closer to the first games.
I wouldn't complain either way. -

Registered 4 years agoI'm about a third of the way in and I'm mostly enjoying it. At least the shooting is well made this time around, but I'd prefer there to be less of it.
I like the vertical exploration. I wish there was more of it - such as the radio tower I mentioned earlier.
It looks pretty good on my PC - but not as good as Crysis 3.
It's a good solid game and I like the Lara character. It definitely has real potential to be a good new beginning for the franchise. I hope the inevitable sequel has more vertigo inducing moments and fewer horde-mode sections.
It does feel like Tomb Raider to me. There are enough touches from the old games to feel some family resemblance.Pre-childish ragequit username - Harry

Registered 2 years agoI think they probably couldn't have made a game like the old Tomb Raider because it looks like all the environments have been crafted manually.
The old game used uniform blocks and animations so could build much more clockwork like puzzles with a lot less man power.
Also, how can you be objective, there is only subjective points of view. Otherwise we wouldn't need democratic processes to circumvent that human nature is to be a dick? -

I think that could be part of why a lot of people aren't liking it. It depends on how you're looking at it. If you wanted more of the old TR, then you're going to be dissapointed. If you're the sort of person that can take each game as it comes and not expect anything, then you will like it for what it is.NeverEatYellowSnow wrote:

I think they've done a great job of making it like the originals without being tethered to it.
It's a great beginning, but I wonder how good a sequel would be without the whole shy girl turns badass plot? It's been great to see her grow from a 'I can't do this' to a 'I can do this and fuck everyone up' woman through the game.You must be the change you wish to see in the world - Ghandi
