Former Naughty Canine developer and Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves co-director, Bruce Straley, has identified similarities between in-game scenes and Mission: Unimaginable – Useless Reckoning Half One scenes. The pictures in query are from the favored prepare sequence in Uncharted 2.
Did Mission: Unimaginable – Useless Reckoning search inspiration from Uncharted 2?
Over on Twitter, Straley posted comparability screenshots from Uncharted 2 and Useless Reckoning, calling the similarities “the sincerest type of flattery.” Straley’s tweet garnered some attention-grabbing responses. Whereas some followers had been amused, others identified that Uncharted 2 borrowed the thought of the prepare sequence from Jurassic Park and criticized his tweet.
In Straley’s protection, his tweet doesn’t appear to be implying that Useless Reckoning copied an concept from Uncharted 2 — simply that these scenes are related. And as IGN has identified, Useless Reckoning director Christopher McQuarrie has made no secret of the truth that he’s sought inspiration from the Uncharted video games up to now.
Again in 2015, McQuarrie instructed a fan that Mission: Unimaginable – Rogue Nation’s airplane sequence was partly impressed by Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Sport director Justin Richmond responded by saying McQuarrie “made my month.”
Regardless of the case with Useless Reckoning, the scenes highlighted by Straley do bear a hanging resemblance. Make of that what you’ll.
