Uncharted dev: Nathan Drake already as big as Lara Croft

ohh, that is hideous indeed.

Yes it's easily true Nathan Drake is new Lara Croft, but a tad ugly imo. Hmmm..... I don't know why...

Wow.... just wow. I can't look at that picture without cringing a little.

I do think he might need a few more games under his belt and booty shorts, which thank the maker he doesn't use in games, to be as popular as Mrs. Croft. Is he on his way? Yes.

Oh man, how could a character as stale and generic as Laura Croft be surpassed?

It must have been done by character only more generic and stale!

Lara Croft could easily kick Nathan Drakes ass. Nathan Drake can't even do a handstand ffs.

Awesome. Maybe they could team up lol.

that's my new favorite picture.

lara croft is so last century. I think anything is better than Lara. Nate should be compared to gears of war or something.

Lara Croft is still bigger than Dake, when Uncharted sells 10 million copies on one game then I would say he has a chance. But right now hes not even close.

Lol nice pic guys!!!

The character Nathan Drake itself is based on the imperfectivness & realism of man. Like PoP....

Lara Croft is somewhat a household name because of the movies. Also, the fact that she's a fairly old character.

Nathan Drake has a ways to go to even come close to her popularity. He has one game. The dev is obviously being bias.

There needs to be an Uncharted movie starring Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake. No auditioning needed.

Ugh! That picture is cringe worthy.

Nathan Drake was an incredibly likable character ????
O_o

I just have a very vague memory of the game
(only the demo, and no more than 3' after the intro)
and I remember the guy and the girl in a plane or something.. and was like watching a cliche of a cliche of a generic American action film.

but you know...
maybe is me, that I found likable characters like prince (katamary damaci) or ratchet & clank, etc
even the soldiers of bad company are something more interesting ...

On the other hand, I played through more of Uncharted than I did the last Tomb Raider.

I am finding the Saints Row 2 gang far far more memorable than either of them at the moment.

And lastly, that picture... sucks.

that...crotch..... >_>;

Haha, brilliant drawing.

That pic is as disturbing as when I accidentally went into my grandparents' bedroom and they were... ah you know (having sex)

I'm quite partial to that nice bulge...

Please never show that picture again.

camel toe anyone?

That picture scares the living s***e out of me.

Why on earth would anyone draw that!?

With the way the title of the article was worded, It should have been Nathan with boobs (moobs?).

I'm not surprised.
Lara has been getting smaller and smaller with each new game.
I don't think the next Tomb Raider game should have her or anyone from the previous games' characters.

wow... how can a developer be so damn smug and pretentious? Uncharted might have been a great game, but I really, REALLY would have liked to see that game come to life without the trillion of Tomb Raider's before it.

lol, looks like he actually tried.....

analyzing the drawing, he actually had some life drawing... but fell short of artistic style.

bahaha, who am i kidding.

The guys here all seem a little oversensitive about the picture, but I'm secure enough in my masculinity to say that it's a pretty cool image. Why? Because it underlines the fact that Lara Croft's clothing is utterly ridiculous, maintained only for sex appeal, and that female gamers might want a male character to have to go through that sort of humiliation for their enjoyment, too.

The picture makes a solid point. The outfit looks stupid and exploitive on Drake, so why should Croft have to wear it?

Come on guys- Let's be fair. Women in video games are usually scantily clad, with large boobs, and put into exploitive poses. And then we wonder why female gamers are so rare?

There need to be more cheesecake images of guys for the ladies (and others so inclined) if we're going to continue to ask "why isn't my girlfriend/wife interested in gaming?" -- They're not interested because they see Lara Croft and they think the games are sexist and piggish.

Give them some half-naked beefcake, and we'll see a change in that attitude.

And no, gender-neutral anime boys don't count, nor do Conan or Kratos. I'm talking about stuff that appeals to NORMAL women, not anime fans, and not fantasy geeks.

That picture up there? That's the reality of the situation, thrown in your male gamer face to remind you that the industry is almost entirely sexist.

You may like it that way, but it doesn't make Lara Croft's outfits any less tacky.

Doesn't matter who raids tombs really. I think the only problem was that Lara isn't 1 person. Its pretty clear that as the series went on Lara transformed numerous times. And that got kind off annoying. That and the over the top character not really having any believable place. No one could really relate to her unless you were a beautiful rich girl who did whatever the hell she wanted.
