The realism in the temple scene is impressive. It's well known that when Howard Carter broke into Tutankhamun's tomb it was lit by already-burning torches and Carter immediately proceeded to kick the shit out of all the pottery.
I know it's a joke, but Howard Carter was an actual archaeologist, while Lara Croft and Nathan Drake, let's not mention the no name from this game, are mere tomb robbers and raid ancient tombs either to further their collection (Lara), or to take the stuff and sell it on the black market for major profit (Nathan). Archaeologists have permits, tomb robbers obviously don't.
be honest games like this would be fucking boring if they were so realistic. all the tombs have already been investigated and are mundane as shit. you could rip even original tomb raiders for how they have light in dark caves and random wolves have lived there for hundreds of years feeding on snow. and yea its weird to think this looks so good it wouldnt fit top 1000 worst games of the decade in retrospect. looks better than even some assassins creed games.
Howard Carter wasn't an archaeologist. He was a tomb robber, with a piece of paper that legitimised it, and made it official. He stole , sold and destroyed cultural artifacts that didn't belong to him, the UK, or any "archaeologist."
Remember when games like this were the worst thing Steam had to offer? Lord, I fucking wish I had ten Unearthed's for every DigiHom game on Steam right now.
"Relax, as your elder sister I have always been taking care of you like a baby" That might be the worst piece of expositional dialogue I've ever heard (Excluding any serious grammatical errors and awful voice acting). It's stiff and unnatural, the "joke" she makes out of it isn't funny, and I'm fairly sure that phrase has been uttered only three times in humanity's entire history, including the voice acting for this game.
DarthVaderReviews - the other two times were when the script writer suggested it, and when the voice actor said it quizzically to establish that they really wanted that line in the game.
To be fair though it's nothing compared to what Lara Croft or Nathan DRake do (or rather, their enemies) to the places they go. Like, they destroy more things in 20 minutes or so than in the previous 1000 years.
Did you hear how the girl said things like "Tell me what you see", "Come one, tell what you see, I can not see what you are seeing". She then says "See that big gate in front of you..." Not the biggest problem with this spunk pile but god damn.
The walking animations are amazing - started off constipated, and evolved to that chicken walk thing when walking the narrow sections. The arthritic wall shimmy was also a joy....the best motion capture a 78 year old can provide.
Tony Davis Me too actually, I was planning on going through TR Underworld using mostly the kick as it's pretty piss-easy even on the hardest difficulty settings.
All the important supplies were brought naturally.......you never know when you'll need LITERAL TOYS.....while exploring an ancient temple, fuck practical things like flashlights......and ROPE......even the gun was stupid......of course he wound up needing it but when in real life would a fucking gun be necessary in this kind of work?!?!
In this game it looked like it was just the devs holding the player's hand constantly to make sure they played the game exactly how they imagined their B-Movie idea to play out And it was still laughably bad and melodramatic every step of the way like a true b movie. I half expect somebody to do an MST3K parody soon
This would be an average game if it came out 10 years ago, at this day in age and as it stands it's little more than an attempt at tricking people who try to buy a digital copy of Uncharted and screw up.
The most pathetic Uncharted rip-off ever. The name and logo, the main menu style, the main character's design and his "funny" one-liners... The bloody gameplay is virtually identical, for crying out loud. As an Uncharted fan I'm disgusted. Oh, and this load of shit is apparently gonna get a PS4/Vita port. Naughty Dog oughta sue these assholes.
***** They all rip each other off. The original TR was clearly inspired by Indiana Jones. Then Uncharted ripped TR off, now TR reboot is ripping off Uncharted. Nothing wrong with getting inspiration somewhere else if your game is actually good and fun to play. That's not Unearthed's case, though.
+Al. Lopez (AL2009man) Buy " us human beings sure love to copy each other." coming out soon in 2099 with realistic gameplay that crossed over to the real world like wondering why you even bought this
Air Control was at least entertaining when compared to what exists in this advanced bleakness of a future. We got _"Life Of Black Tiger"_ and other incomprehensible abominations that slithered forth like a snake with Tourette syndrome having a epileptic seizure while taking a shit during a tornado inside a hurricane.
I can't believe a whole 11 minutes passed before the phrase "oh, so it's gonna be like Uncharted..." was uttered. It's called Unearthed and features a wisecracking short haired, scarf-wearing guy who shoots enemies in ancient temples. I really hate this kind of shit - companies that are so artistically and financially bankrupt that they think they actually can shamelessly ride the success of another franchise. It's just so depressing.
Kick! Punch! It's all in the mind. If you've come to test me, I'm sure you'll find, the things I'll teach ya, are *SURE* to beat cha, but nevertheless, you'll get a lesson from teach-a. NOW *KICK*
By the way, it is presently December 2022, and this game is still up for sale on Steam. It is about 5 dollars and is called 'Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta...*Episode 1*
It's like this game forgot Uncharted was a thing, how embarrassing...after all there is no way that they cheaply tried to copy it, they must have more self-respect than that.
If she couldn't see the front of the temple when he was teasing her about not being brave enough to come see it herself, how the fuck did she know there was a huge door in the way that needed opening? How did she know to tell him of it every time he approached it?
Not only Unearthed was an Uncharted rip-off from Middle East, but also there is another game called The Legend of Zord, which is The Legend of Zelda ripoff in Middle Eastern style.
12:50 Wait, I thought she couldn't see what he was seeing, hence their little exchange earlier. Now she knows about the gate without being told? Yes, I DID notice that detail amidst the larger monuments to insanity all around, the same way I got annoyed with the 'here's a pointless pre-story thing where, immediately after, we'll go 'X Time Earlier' to when the story really starts, thus having deliberately wasted your time!' Just start the story when it /starts/, not for some two minute dramatic opening bullshit.
HuntrBlackLuna They broke that rule multiple points in the video. Like when everything was dark and she SOMEHOW knew it looked spooky in there and went "booo".
"This ancient fountain might be the key to progress." Maybe he was making a deep philosophical point. The fountain is the key to progress of humanity. Without the fountain, there would be no plumbing. Maybe.
I remember hearing about someone involved with development with this game in some way saying something about them making games based on "actual Middle Eastern history." That makes this game a bit more laughable, although they probably meant that the places in the game are based on real places in Saudi Arabia. I do hope to see many different good games that come from studios in Asian and African countries in the future, mostly because I'd like to see what those areas kind of look like in a 3D space.
am I the only one who is mesmerized by them talking? I dont know why, I just can not stop staring at it. Those movements, that body language, the supreme choreography its like watching a perfectly executed ballet move...
God, remember when bad games were just badly made games, and not cynical scams, "meme games", and the steam trash vortex of unfinished / nonexistent levels?
I am reading a book about the wars in Syria and its references Ibn Batuta, the actual travelling writer and all I could think of was this shitty game. Thanks Jim.
14 minutes in and the environments aren't half bad. Same for the character models. It's just the animation and other things that aren't looking so hot.
Come on, they did fine. When you don't have millions to make a game it suffers in the graphics department. I bet you don't go around saying "oh shovel knight and binding of Isaac have shitty graphics so fuck them"
Shovel Knight and Binding of Isaac looks really good, you might actually the be the only person to say it looks shitty, and also the first person ever in the comment to say that this game looks okay... And, if you can't make even a decent game, please, just don't... It's embarrassing for everyone! On the other hand, as frustrating this game looks for Jim, I find it hilarious and charming to watch in an odd way...
I love how the big scary bald guy takes his defeat personally and immediately hates the protagonist and his sister so much he makes a vow of bloody vengeance... without actually knowing their names...
I just realised: this makes more sense if you think the protaginist is psychic. That is how he is able to enter a temple and immediately have flashes of insight like "I need to get this ancient fountain working to open the door. To do that I need the four dinnerplates hidden here, here, here and here". *Sigh*
The people who made this game should hire Jim Sterling to promote it as I saw every second of this video, and by the end of it I thought to myself "fuck PS4 and the next Uncharted this is my calling." So I rushed out to sell my PS4 and bought myself a Steam Machine to play this game on, best decision of my life. Thank you Jim Sterling, you have brought so much joy to my life and saved me the need to ever own a PS4 or have a girlfriend, your the total package.
My God. Their eyes, their eyes never move. I have never been so creeped out by a character model in a video game before. Star Ocean the Last Hope's characters never achieved this level of creepiness.
Every time I see alpha protocol footage in a Raycevick video, I always come to this video because the graphics always makes me vaguely remember this game and it's god damn FLStudio VSTI Alarm noise.
While this looked a bit sickening at parts, it still looked better than some AA-releases (looking at you, Rambo:The video game) and it was made b a un-experienced dev. I, for one, give them points for trying as the concept is not half bad. Had this been made with a bigger crew/budget i imagine it'd be better.
***** If so, it's a shame, really. I really felt like the makers had something great in their minds when they made this. The opening cut-scene was grand and the concept is not that bad, even though similar ones have been done before. I am sad that this had to backfire, would have been promising in better hands.
Opening exposition could have been done inside the jeep. And here I thought you'd comment how they're masticating and gesticulating all over the place.
In principle, the idea seemed sound: Ibn Batutta was a Marco Polo like muslim explorer who traveled from North Africa all the way to China and back. The non europpean explorers, specially the muslim ones, are often overlooked and is great source material for a Uncharted-like game. Too bad this abortive attempt possibly made it radioactive...
Outstanding gameplay matched with next-gen visuals this is the pinnacle of the video game entertainment medium and an amazing way to the start the year. Thank you Jim for the insightful coverage.
Oh jeeze, when I watched the dialogue between the two protagonists at the temple gate I thought "So you're Roll in Megaman Legends...only not a mechanic. And not as helpful. Though about as supportive."
"Only risk-takers get to see such beauty."
*Smashes 4000 year old pot*

Archaeologist- "Oh look, ancient, priceless, in-tact pots. Shall I preserve these to take to a museum or kick the shit out of them?"
lol sounds totally legit
To be fair though it's nothing compared to what Lara Croft or Nathan DRake do (or rather, their enemies) to the places they go. Like, they destroy more things in 20 minutes or so than in the previous 1000 years.
Jim: *grenades self* Oh, shit.
Enemy: I like your moxie.
*also grenades self*
Oh man, remember when this was considered a bad Steam game? This shit is excellent compared to the slop farted up onto Steam now.
This comment only gets better with age lmfao
Indeed. These guys were at least actually trying.
We’ve got a grim future if the track record remains
Did you hear how the girl said things like "Tell me what you see", "Come one, tell what you see, I can not see what you are seeing". She then says "See that big gate in front of you..."
Not the biggest problem with this spunk pile but god damn.
The walking animations are amazing - started off constipated, and evolved to that chicken walk thing when walking the narrow sections. The arthritic wall shimmy was also a joy....the best motion capture a 78 year old can provide.
"I'm an archaeologist! Now watch me break ancient pottery with my foot."
Wow, this game rips off Uncharted AND La-Mulana! Except with the foot thing...
D MAS I was thinking about Tomb Raider, but that's pre-reboot.
Tony Davis Me too actually, I was planning on going through TR Underworld using mostly the kick as it's pretty piss-easy even on the hardest difficulty settings.

I've noticed that you looked at my other posts.
So they prepared by bringing a remote controlled car with a camera, but not a flashlight. Great.
All the important supplies were brought naturally.......you never know when you'll need LITERAL TOYS.....while exploring an ancient temple, fuck practical things like flashlights......and ROPE......even the gun was stupid......of course he wound up needing it but when in real life would a fucking gun be necessary in this kind of work?!?!
31:40 my favorite part so far ... "Stop...being bad....please, this is awful" ... so much sweet despair in his voice ?
That is the absolute worst way to do a tutorial: throwing the player right into the action only to pause the game for a text box every three seconds.
In this game it looked like it was just the devs holding the player's hand constantly to make sure they played the game exactly how they imagined their B-Movie idea to play out
And it was still laughably bad and melodramatic every step of the way like a true b movie. I half expect somebody to do an MST3K parody soon
WHAT A TERRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE.
The curse of it being your job to play this game.
Dr Shaym guess you haven't been playing THE Castlevania game, THE Castlevania game-- I know it has a name but eh...
This would be an average game if it came out 10 years ago, at this day in age and as it stands it's little more than an attempt at tricking people who try to buy a digital copy of Uncharted and screw up.
And if they fixed the bugs, it would be a pretty good game 10 years ago.

This game completely rekts the entire uncharted series.
Watching all of Jim's newer videos then coming back to this one makes this look beautiful.
Almost wanted to get it. Almost.

"How is he an explorer? I can get down a ladder better than that, and I look like John fucking Candy."

Finally a gameplay video of Ibn Battuta, now I can see the entire adventure of looking for the fabled King Rootintootin Diamond.
First gameplay I ever watched from you Jim, and I must say I loved it. Was laughing real hard at your commentary!
Oh my god the gunfire in that driving sequence was like a cheese grater on my eardrums.
Good to know that the rc car was heavy enough to weigh down an ancient pharaoh switch
When something starts with a soundtrack i've heard used in a dozen flash games, you know it's going to be good.

Ibn Battuta story is awesome just finished the book but damn this is awful.
Wait, this game is based on a book?!
JackNewbie555 It's actually a true story about a explorer called Ibn Battuta. There's a movie also which is apparently really good.
Yaser Al-Sokary I see. I might give those a try. This game however ... Urgh.
JackNewbie555 Yep awful haha. He is considered one of the greatest travelers of all time. The movie tells very early travels.
This game is to Uncharted what Transmorphers is to Transformers.
11:18 "ah so it's going to try and be uncharted" it took 11 minutes to figure that out? for shame James. For shame.
I like how he brings a gun AND an rc car to an empty temple, but not a flashlight -_-
"Oh shit, the game's here!" That line kill me every time. XD
"I will flip every rock in every desert until I find you!" What if they don't hide in a desert?

It's like a kid from few generations of inbreeding between Uncharted and Tomb Raider famillies. I might be wrong though.
How did he not see the shadows disconnected from the character models during the last fist fight?! Distracted by amazing gameplay i guess...

And here I thought you'd comment how they're masticating and gesticulating all over the place.
4:30 "grenade!!!!!!" *stays in one spot*

I used to love Elite Beat Agents
How do videogame characters like this get away with so much rampant murder? He's only an archaeologist or thief or something right?
In principle, the idea seemed sound: Ibn Batutta was a Marco Polo like muslim explorer who traveled from North Africa all the way to China and back. The non europpean explorers, specially the muslim ones, are often overlooked and is great source material for a Uncharted-like game. Too bad this abortive attempt possibly made it radioactive...
this game is so "self aware" that it mentions both the tomb raider and uncharted games in the same sentence.
You know you're in for a good game when the first you see of the main character makes him look like he shit his pants...
Funny that you mentioned it, because I was actually feeling sick from watching this. I had to get up and walk around for a bit afterwards.
