I wouldnt call it copying, Epic was influenced by Resident Evil 4 when doing Gears, they basically took RE4s control scheme & added a cover system along with the ability to move & fire.
Epic didnt copy RE4, was inspired by it and expanded upon those features, same for Uncharted.
I've nothing against the tell tale like games, but dontnod fucked the only thing that matters in that genre: the screenplay. LiS's one atrocious once you pay attenction over the teenage drama
Sounds like we are getting into the semantics of the word copy, but we know the Uncharted devs completely redid their stuff after Gears 1 came out because Gears showed them how to do good 3rd person shooter mechanics.
Yeah, they put a bit of their own spin on it, but that's definitely a form of copying.
It does say "event demo" specifically, so probably just a stage demo / floor demo for E3
We also know Halo was inspired by Doom, Tekken by Virtua Fighter & Gears by RE4. And what ?
I totally agree we are getting into the semantics of what it is or it isnt copying but it rubbed me the wrong way reading that RE & Uncharted copied from Gears, like if Gears appeared out of the blue, when all games have elements inspired by other ones.
I mean, in the words of one of the uncharted devs:

That sure sounds like even they considered it copying. Again, with their own tweaks to the mechanics.
Cliff :
I think we can all agree that there is a middleground between "direct and deliberate copying" and taking inspiration or evolving some elements.
And thank good some devs "blatantly copied" other ones, if they hadnt we wouldnt have games like Killer Instinct ( ahem Mortal Kombat ), indies like Shovel Knight or Axiom Verge, or entire genres like plataformings ( mario clones ) or 3D fighting games.
Yes, it's a chain of using inspiration and copying. That doesn't mean that Uncharted didn't copy Gears, just because Gears copied something before it. The Uncharted devs changed their game based on Gears. RE4 was already there to inspire them, but it was Gears that the mimicked.
I wouldn't say tweaked, as Uncharted controls like crap compared to Gears, but yeah the inspiration is obvious.
That's Killdotswitch I'll have you know. Just like that Ubisoft open world game called WatchunderscoreDogs.
Hmmmm. I really like the Xbox Two, but it'd be weird to hear Klobrille's voice. In my head he's just an AI, the male version of Cortana, Cortobrille.
Well... I didn't say they did a good job copying it. lol
He wasn't on the podcast, just a question of him was discussed ...
Jez and Rand maybe looking too much into the Totaku figurine of Joanna Dark. Conker and Banjo-Kazooie have been out since last year. July is seeing Space Invaders Alien, Mega Man and Viewtiful Joe figurines by Totaku. I even have a Lemmings Totaku on my shelf!
Not ruling out a new Perfect Dark game but I wouldn't get my hopes up when it comes to a Totaku figurine. So... who is looking forward to a new Space Invaders game dropping at E3?! ;)

it was never at a station because THE HYPE (COLE) TRAIN NEVER STOPS BABY WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I really would love for Dontnod to be acquired I loved Vampyr so much I think it was great. I also really hope we get a tech demo of anaconda, to see the difference in loading times and physics would be amazing.
They already did dramatically change it a while ago, one of my friends goal for a while was to get an Xbox One X clearly with rewards points. I think he ended up chickening out and bought the S Minecraft bundle instead.
Everything is green, lol.From Reddit.
EA PLAY and INSIDE XBOX DATE \ TIMES also.
looks like Ori but pretty sure they didn't have any voice over in Ori's trailers.
How do I start this!? My job revolves around the computer, and I would love to use Bing to get points for stuff as I'm working!
I think it's just a graphic equalizer visualization and she's recording voice.
Clearly Shannon will be voicing Freia in the Phantom Dust remake.
Search Microsoft rewards and it should come up there's a variety of way of getting points, Bing search, and than gamepass rewards.
Yeah it was changed from how it used to be, but looking at it, if you do nearly everything you can in terms of gamepass quests , search, and the daily stuff you should be able to pull in around 10,000 points a month.
If you hoard them till next year's E3 you should have around $100 in Microsoft store credit.
Asobo, DontNod, Deck 13.... why not just buy Focus Home Interactive, if we're so eager to snap up all the studios they work with? lol
Actually, Cyanide didn't work on the Council. That was... Big Bad Wolf.
Call of Cthulhu already had a release date when the acquisition happened, so Cyanide finished that under Focus Home. The other project Cyanide was supposed to be making for Focus to publish was a Werewolf: The Apocalypse game. That went dark for a while, but recently it resurfaced, as being published by the new owner, BigBen- so the publishing rights got bought along with the studio, somehow? (Focus Home also later separately announced that it sold BigBen the publishing rights to Cyanide's cycling games).
So, I mean, it's not impossible, but highly unlikely, given the amount of commitments DontNod currently seems to have.
The one thing I take from the figurine possibly signaling a new Perfect Dark is that the art direction of that character is vastly different from the previous versions. With the Xbox Game Studio logo present as well I think it speaks volumes to Xbox providing that vision to them. Would suggest they have been working on the IP to some level imo.
It's not possible to earn nearly that much in Canada, unfortunately. Realistically probably about 5000 points per month.
