wow actually i got the same feeling from it as i got from uncharted. at least the running and cover were similar to the same point. hmm interesting.

In reply to Benjamin Foley. Don't be a fool the article is a comparison between Eight Days and Uncharted 2. All mentioned is between them not go off topic and mention Gears of War which did not invent the cover system. Killswitch invented it, Gears of war improved it, Uncharted 2 perfected it. Also again, No one is talking about MW2 here. Which has cinematic experiences but Uncharted 2 also has very very breathtaking cinematic experiences. Like the train part just wow.

Gotta tell you.. I agree with you.. The physics are very similiar… I’m not sure why people are getting mad at your article.. you pointed out a true similarity between two games… I’m not sure that just because one game uses a certain type of physics and look, that another game shouldn’t do the same thing…. But there definately is a major similarity between movement, look, and scale.. much more then comparing uncharted to a game like gears… what are these people thinking??..

It looks nothing like Uncharted 2, it’s more like Unrouted: Curse of the Missing Donut, and theres tweedle dee and tweedle dum swapping guns by throwing them, because the earlier helping of donut and icing might get the gun jamed, the only way to keep the gun working… by swapping them!

The examples given probably reflect 85%-95% of the games out there that are in this genre of action/puzzle solving

wow……..
this is the most ridiculous comparison i have ever seen.
might as well compare NG2 to gears of war while your at it.
just 1 more thing, how can you compare a game that has been released to a game we know almost nothing about?
i mean seriously sony has released like 1 official trailer and very few screen shots for 8 days.
and in fact, ill go as far to say 8 days would be better, more action packed.
its mind boggling they dumped that and the getaway for a crappy motion pet game.
i mean seriously, is this the ps3 or the wii?
if i wanted cheap crappy kiddy motion games i would get a wii, if i wanted hardcore action games with a driven storyline ill get a ps3.
i did not spend 1K for my ps3 on release so i could play around with a fluffy pet!
im seriously worried once sonys motion controller takes off, games like uncharted 2 and 8 days are going to go the way of the dinosaur and games like eyepet will become the norm.
that will be the day my PS3 goes on ebay and i move back to the PC.

using a similar cover system i understand but the animations are so blatant it makes you think

obviously its been tweaked but only because they knew someone was bound to see the correlation sooner or later and wanted to protect their asses

i never understood why sony chose to not continue developing such a promising looking game with the best interpretation of a cover system since gears

guess we know now they just decided to steal all the hard work the devs had and gave it to naughty dog to improve on

Ripoff is a bit harsh…one may have simply inspired another, but honestly if two great games come from the ideas of a single…are we really suffering? Didn’t think so…

Are you on crack? Wanted and Terminator Salvation also has cover system. Are you gonna say they’re also rip-offs too? Fail article
