Introduction: Unconsciously, "Uncharted Sea" or our "Secret Adventure" finally ushered in their own grand finale work "Uncharted Sea Thief Road Strange Road" after 5 years of waiting. Since its inception, the series has been compared to a Hollywood film series, the Indiana Jones series. After "Uncharted 2 Thieves Road", there is such praise as "the 'Treasure Raiders' that even Spielberg envied". As of this year, exactly four of the two masterpieces that stand out in their respective fields have been produced, and there are still some similarities between them. This time, let's talk about these two adventure gods.
In June 1981, the first "Stranger In the Closet" of Indiana Jones, the pinnacle of adventure movies that no one has ever surpassed, was released. Dr. Jones, a professor and explorer, embarked on a treasure hunt in search of the Ark of The Law recorded in the Bible. Two legends in the film industry, Spielberg and George Lucas, worked together to create this screen legend. The image of an archaeologist digging everywhere was conceived from Star Wars, but without the right director, Lucas decided to put all his energy on Star Wars first. After the success of "Star Wars", Lucas finally restarted the plan, and it happened that Spielberg also wanted to make an action movie like "007", Lucas said to him at this time: "Come on, I'll help you... I have a better idea, it's called Raiders of the Lost Ark. ”
A classic shot of the movie
The prototype of Joe Bacca in Star Wars, Lucas's dog, Indiana, is the source of Dr. Jones's name. Indiana's classic styling is also established in The Closet of The Closet, with leather whips, adventure hats, and ubiquitous traps, puzzles, and treasures. The interlocking chain of treasure hunting clues, the ups and downs of battle and adventure, all of which shape an experience that has never been seen before.
Under Spielberg's interpretation and Harrison Ford's interpretation, indiana Jones' heroic image is deeply rooted in people's hearts and has become a model of tribute to many other works. The film's final box office did not disappoint the two who wanted to create a fairy tale, and the first film of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" finally achieved nearly 400 million after the release.
The first game of "Uncharted Seas" was already a very good work at the time
Perhaps before "Uncharted", Naughty Dog was also more or less influenced by Raiders of the Lost Ark, for example, some of the levels that appeared in the Ancient Wolf were very similar to some of the bridges in "Ark of The Ark". In 2007, Naughty Dog, an action-adventure game aimed at rivaling the former Tomb Raider, came out: Uncharted Seas. Nathan Drake, a steadfast descendant of the legendary Francis Drake, has undergone various adventures in search of the treasure left by his "ancestors".
Although at that time, "Uncharted Drake's Treasure" still had a variety of problems: strange climbing judgments, light and fluttering shooting feel, angles that would cause vertigo, and so on. But with its outstanding graphics and engaging subject matter at the time, the first game "Uncharted" won the PS3 Game of the Year award in many media outlets. At the same time, in terms of sales, as the first work of the original innovative IP, Shenhai has achieved million-level sales and entered the platinum hall, which has also laid a good foundation for the sequel.
Because of the similarity between the two, there have been many spoof works, such as this "Raiders of the Lost"
Although there is no clear description, it is easy to see the similarities between the two works on closer inspection. Both Dr. Jones and Drake are searching for treasures that exist in legends, and they all have some supernatural powers; each hero is accompanied by a brave beauty, Marianne in the Raiders of the Lost Ark and Elena in the Sea of The Gods; and even the Nazi elements in the game are very similar, but this is related to the historical Large-scale search for supernatural mysterious treasures by the Nazis.
With the first game in place, the Raiders of the Lost Ark and Uncharted series soon began working on their sequels. Three years later, the second game in the Raiders of the Lost Ark series came out, and a slightly oriental "Magic Palace" once again inspired Indiana Jones fever. The film is equally exciting, worthy of the name of the Raiders of the Lost Ark series. However, compared to the cookie-cutter thrilling bridge, the leap in shooting technology is a very worth mentioning in "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2". Because in order to achieve the level of nausea that "as long as people who are alive and normal will not like it", some of the props in the film that face deletion are quite demanding. There was also a tense minecart chase, and under the special effects technology at that time, it was not easy to use the combination of model and animation to achieve that kind of picture.
Both Uncharted and Raiders of the Lost Ark have some supernatural elements, such as Generation 2 is about stones
Overall, the second part of Raiders of the Lost Ark is a bit like the first part of Uncharted, not to mention the peak but also outstanding. The second installment of Uncharted is the opposite, and as its subtitle, Among Thieves, Uncharted 2 has raised the bar for the entire video game industry.
The two are invariably stained with some Chinese colors, the opening scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" is in Shanghai, "Uncharted 2" comes to Nepal, to Tibet to find the legendary fantasy "Shambhala". For video games, the changes in the experience brought about by technological advances are more obvious, not only the next leap in the picture, but also how backward the game is to look now, not to mention that in 2009, seven years ago, the shock of "never seen a game can be made like this" can be imagined. The azure pine resin flames, thrilling train battles, and the shock of holding your breath when you first come to Shambhala will remember this epic classic for anyone who has experienced the impact of Uncharted 2, just as Raiders of the Lost Ark 1 is still at the top of the IMDB list.
Without holding the handle in person, I could not feel the shock of the time
After two adventures, the story of Raiders of the Lost Ark 3 Mujahideen returns to the biblical story, and Uncharted 3 Drake's Trickery also refocused on the old captain Drake and his legends. At the same time, both series invariably shifted their attention from the grand adventure to the "people", and together they returned the story to the original point. Spielberg finally "fulfilled" his long-cherished wish to direct "007", well, in fact, he just found Sean Connery to play Indiana's father. The trilogy-ending Jihad Raiders completes Indiana Jones' past, explaining why Dr. Jones hats are the main body, why his weapons use whips, and why Indiana, who is not afraid of heaven, is afraid of snakes. At the same time, Dr. Jones's father also appeared in the series for the first time, there must be his father and his son, after all, it is the old drama bone of 007, Sean Connery perfectly interprets the style that the old Dr. Jones should have.
In some ways, James Bond and Indiana Jones have many similarities
The trilogy's finale, "JihadIst", once again invited the classic villain Nazis out, and during the process also played a prank on Hitler. The theme of this adventure seems a bit old-fashioned, looking for the Holy Grail that Jesus used at the Last Supper, and it is said that those who drink raw water with the Holy Grail will receive eternal life. At the end of the film, Jones finds the true Holy Grail and also gets the chance to live forever, and as the Grail Knight, the eternal guardian of the Secret of the Holy Grail. At this point, it is possible to end the entire Raiders of the Lost Ark series, but the two Jones still left the seal and gave up eternal life. Father and son rode their horses in the sunset and ran into the distance.
Drake's Trick 3 meets players on time in 2011, two years after a two-year cycle, and the third game inspired by Lawrence of Arabia tells the story of Drake's ring and his father and friend Sullivan. Coincidentally with Raiders of the Lost Ark 3, the third part of The Divine Sea also mentions Drake's childhood. The graphics of Uncharted 3 are equally excellent, the rhythm of the story is equally excellent, and players who have felt the shock of The Divine Sea 2 have higher expectations for naughty dogs, and naughty dogs have not disappointed them.
Harrison Ford also shot a TV commercial for the Japanese version of Uncharted Sea, and even if he is old, he is a big handsome ah
After the trilogy, both great series entered a period of small silence. The console ushered in an update, the end of PS3 "The Last Of Us" became the benchmark work of shenhai 2 generally elevated the entire video game, and in the early days of PS4, Shenhai only produced a "Uncharted Drake Collection", and the new generation of naughty dog original "Uncharted Sea" has always been a topic of discussion among players. As for the sequel to the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, it has become an urban legend, and the ending of "Mujahideen" vaguely implies that after the end of the trilogy, it is not completely over, and there will always be rumors that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" will continue to be filmed from time to time, which is almost twenty years.
The Shenhai Collection is a work of relief before the arrival of Shenhai 4
"We wouldn't start making the Indiana Jones series without waiting for the right script."
In 2008, Harrison Ford was almost too old to question whether he could still play the omnipotent Indiana Jones, and "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 Crystal Skull Kingdom" was finally released. With the times, Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 no longer pestered the German Nazis, but replaced it with a hypothetical enemy "Soviet KGB", and crystal skulls and South American elements are also a hot mystery topic worth exploring. After all, for so many years, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" has some emotional elements in it. The old Indy family has all appeared, and the law cabinet and Area 51 in the original work also appear as scenes, if you are a loyal fan of the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, you will definitely feel a sense of familiar props and Jones's slightly old face.
It was Spielberg and Lucas's uncompromising attitude that led to the series' high standards, as did Naughty Dogs
Fortunately, Uncharted 4 didn't make players wait that long, and the last game "only" had "only" been five years since 2011. At the time of reading this article, everyone has been able to play "Uncharted 4 Thief's End". Here quietly tell you that "Uncharted 4" is also full of emotional elements as "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", if you want to say how emotional, please go through the game yourself ~
The Raiders of the Lost Ark series has also left a deep imprint on the video game industry, not to mention how much Dr. Jones has been influenced by the entire Uncharted series, and Blizzard's game works have countless shadows of it, such as the most obvious "Harrison Jones" who combines the names of actors and characters. In Hearthstone's last adventure mode, the Explorers Guild, many of the processes are homaging to the Raiders of the Lost Ark series. Cards such as "Adventure Hat", "Viper Trap", and "Harrison Ford" all pay their respects fairly.
Not only are the poses similar, but even the lines "That's belong to the museum" are a tribute to the movie
There are countless examples of Dr. Jones' footprints, from indie games to AAA-level action-adventure games, and it's no exaggeration to say that almost all action-adventure games pay homage to it. Now, the story of the Uncharted Sea has come to an end, ushering in a perfect finale; after "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", the old and strong Harrison Ford decided to take up the long whip again and put on the iconic hat to set off on the expedition.
In addition to the games that pay tribute, lego games based on the plot of the movie are also very fun
One day, their legends will come to an end, but the will to take risks is always passed down from generation to generation, whether it is the heir of the protagonist on the screen, or the audience or the player sitting off the screen. Maybe one day, you will start your own adventures like a hero, although it is not a cornice in the monument, but the attitude of life that jokes when encountering difficulties will push us forward.
