Last Train To Cairo vs. Uncharted 2: Locomotion/Tunnel Vision

I always thought The Last Train to Cairo was quite original and based on Indiana Jones. Well... I was very wrong.

I'm currently playing Uncharted 2 (first time) and I'm at that part with a train... The similarities with LTtC are VERY, VERY clear: train designs, watching out for lamps... even a TANK on one of the trainplatforms!! Also, a part in a tunnel.

So I just had my WTF moments for today and not sure if I like it that TSW clearly 'stole' or used something from another game that obvious. Since Uncharted is quite a popular franchise I'm quite surprised no one mentioned it before or only referencing LTtC as a Indiana Jones-style mission.

Nice find, DeForestt. I never played Uncharted and when I started watching the video, similarities looked coincidental to me at first: every videogame mission on a train have to have players fighting their way from the end of the train and dodging obstacles on cars rooftop. But there are really too much smaller details fitting together: the shape and sound of passing signals, tank, breakable skylights, helicopter destroying the train behind Drake, the enemy soldier on a car ahead firing a big gun and forcing player to take cover.

I still like "Last Train to Cairo" though. Even if it is not original, it is an outstanding mission for any MMORPG.

Reminded me more of this:

Haha, I see some similarities indeed.

But it doesn't have a tank in it! 😉

I'll admit, when I saw that mission I got flashbacks to the making of an old cartoon...

That's awesome 😀 It's a pity that there's not really much in the way of cartoons in swl

Funny you should mention animation of SWL... check back in a few month I will... mhehehe 🙂 If I get my bonce around unreal 4.

Thanks! I've thought about making something in swl but the tools are kinda lacking. Doing machinima stuff kept me into wow a lot longer than the game itself did...

Yeah there was a lot of really fun machinima 😀
