It nonetheless feels bizarre to write down about Uncharted (opens in new tab) within the sacred pages of a PC gaming web site, however I suppose I will not must for much longer. In an interview with Buzzfeed (opens in new tab) (by way of GamesRadar (opens in new tab)), Naughty Canine co-president Neil Druckmann mentioned that the studio is “shifting on” from the sequence, so I suppose Nathan Drake’s journey over to the PC (opens in new tab) is about to be the least one he has for the foreseeable future.
The feedback got here within the context of a dialogue concerning the free-reign that Sony offers Naughty Canine over which tasks it pursues. Druckmann mentioned that, though “Uncharted was insanely profitable,” and Uncharted 4 was one of many studio’s best-selling video games, he did not really feel strain from Sony to maintain churning out new video games within the sequence. Naughty Canine was “in a position to put [its] ultimate brushstroke on that story and say that [its] performed”. After all, it might be unusual if being considered one of Sony’s most famous and profitable builders did not afford you a little bit leeway in choosing your personal tasks.
So farewell Drake and Sully, however Druckmann is decidedly much less particular about the way forward for The Final of Us. He says {that a} potential Final of Us 3 is determined by whether or not or not Naughty Canine can conjure up a “compelling story that has this common message and assertion about love — identical to the primary and second recreation did”. If it might, then it “will inform that story,” if not, there’s already “a really sturdy ending with Half 2 and that would be the finish”.
I can not say I am torn up concerning the prospect of Uncharted getting into retirement, if certainly it actually is. These video games are spectacular showpieces with a number of expertise and manufacturing worth behind them, however it’s a sequence that feels prefer it’s very a lot run its course at this level. I do hope that we not less than get the remainder of the video games on PC—the Legacy of Thieves Assortment solely included Uncharted 4 and Misplaced Legacy—earlier than the sequence goes into that good evening, although.
As for The Final of Us, effectively, we’re getting the primary recreation’s remake this March (opens in new tab), and I might guess you something Half 2 will not be too far behind. The sequence goes from energy to energy proper now, because of the recognition of its recently-aired HBO sequence (opens in new tab), so I think about Naughty Canine will handle to determine that subsequent story and its “assertion about love” earlier than too lengthy. Till then, you may take a look at the present, await the primary recreation’s launch, or simply hold heat with our personal Fraser Brown’s nuclear-hot Final of Us takes (opens in new tab).
