Naughty Dog: 'We're not done with Drake'

CVG: Naughty Dog has revealed that it has no intention of ditching series star Nathan Drake any time soon - indicating that the gruff hero may yet head up Uncharted 4 in the future.

hope it goes on for a 4th , 5th and 6th uncharted coz drake is such a cool character and sully well he sweats like a hooker in church which wins me over lol

metsgaming4861d ago

as long as naughty dog is still making it then yes but if they hand it off to another dev i would rather it be left alone.

DualConsoleOwner4861d ago (Edited 4861d ago )

not that i have problems with drake, but it wouldnt be fun if i know that drake survives every time before i finish the game.

so i think it would be more interesting if they change characters around.

captain-obvious4861d ago

after uncharted 3 i want ND to do something else maybe a new IP
DO NOT milk uncharted

TheLastGuardian4861d ago

Of course they're not done with Drake. They always do 4 games in a series before handing it off to another developer. I can't wait to play Uncharted Team Racing lol.

RememberThe3574861d ago (Edited 4861d ago )

If they decide to work on something else or change characters I'd rather them just start a new IP. They might do that next gen anyway.

Uncharted is the best new IP this generation in my opinion. I'd love to see it go on for a long time, but you also have to understand that ND may want to try new things outside of uncharted the way they wanted to outside of Jak & Daxter. Whatever they do they'll have my support.

evrfighter4861d ago

ND should go into the dairy business

KingPin4861d ago

@evrfighter

would that be the same dairy business that bungie started?

nevermind, your lack of bubbles is a good indication of your previous posts.

JoySticksFTW4861d ago

Drake is probably the best character this generation (next to Old Snake for me).

And UN1 & 2 are in a fierce brawl for greatest game this gen top honors along with Demon's Souls and MGS4 (which if you're a MGS fan, is one of the greatest games EVER along with MGS3)

All that said, I want to miss Uncharted a little. We've already had two Uncharted's in a relatively small timeframe. I want them to spend time crafting an absolutely amazing story. And I want it to feel special when it's finally released.

Please don't milk this franchise.

CaptainPunch4860d ago

Hopefully that never happens, only Naughty Dog can work on the Uncharted series.

Couldnt agree more, the Uncharted franchise is easily one of my favourite this gen but it will be double standards by lots on here if some people dont see this as the milking of a franchise.

Halo gets a lot of hate, Uncharted gets a lot of love. Only on N4G! Thank god we represent about 0.000003% of all gamers out there!

Giant_Chibi4861d ago

When a franchise continually brings sequel after sequel with no major improvements then it's definitely milking. Certain games out there are putting out sequels that make no effort in improving the graphics or the gameplay mechanics.

On the other hand, Uncharted continues to improve title after title. The improvements from Uncharted 1, 2, and 3 have made huge leaps in graphics, gameplay, physics, animation, level design, etc.

If naughty dog has more to offer with Uncharted, then why not allow them to build the franchise to its fullest potential. Once their ideas become stale, that is when they should stop making sequels. If they continue to innovate, then I don't see why they shouldn't continue to make sequels.

Hands Up For Games4861d ago

@Giant_Chibi

Couldnt agree more! Wouldnt you say that Halo has also made improvements across the board as well though?

Not having a go at you, you seem like a reasonable person its just that some on here dont like to admit to such things.

Giant_Chibi4861d ago

@hands
Yes, I'd be a fool if I didn't notice some of the major changes halo has made in gameplay.

Like h3's equipment or reach's armor abilities. Those additions changed up even the most seasoned of halo players' strategies.

And let's not forget that halo was the first to do away with health packs and fully embrace rechargeable health, completely overhauling the flow of combat. In older games or in h1 and currently reach, when you're low on health, you play defensively and immediately search for a health pack. It's part of the strategy of carefully planning your next move in advancing around certain areas. (which is mostly the reason why it's back in reach)

But, in h2 things were more aggressive and faster paced because of rechargeable shields. It allowed for the flow of combat to be continuous without any stops in between to find a health pack. Back then it was a refreshing relief to be able to approach a game without placing too much concern on maintaining my health. That was a pretty innovative break through for the traditional concept of health meters. Now, rechargeable health is something you see in almost every game, call of duty and uncharted included.

blackburn54861d ago

Sony's games improve and get better with each sequel (UC, LBP, ICO, Jak and Daxter KZ). Halo is the same game everytime. All that stuff everyone says about each Halo being better then the last, I don't see it. It's definately milked.Halo sequel play like expansion packs. I know everyone is itching to disagree but the sequels play like they just picked up what ever they left on the cutting room floor from the last game and stitched them togethe3

Did anyone else notice when the paw comes up on naughty dog logo, you can here the collection of mango's sounds from the crash badicoot series

Megaton4861d ago

Eh... there aren't many things I'd like to see make it to a 6, even things I really like. For example, I'm a die-hard Mass Effect fan, but I want it to end as the originally-planned trilogy. I don't want them to drag it any further.

lh_swe4861d ago

I don't think ND should be afraid of carrying on with Uncharted because as Chloe so eloquently said;'You dance with the girl that brought you'...and from a financial standpoint it would be unwise to put Uncharted on ice, I do however think that they should perhaps take longer between games, expand and make other games inbetween...basically to give the team a breather and do the games justice in terms of effort and 'freshness'.

Matthew944861d ago (Edited 4861d ago )

yeah they need to milk every last drop instead of making a new IP which they are certainly capable of

they did make Crash and Jak, how about a sequel to one of those or a new platforming game

SnakeMustDie4861d ago

I want a sequel for the PSP2.

poopoojames4861d ago (Edited 4861d ago )

that will likely be the destination of their next Nathan Drake game after U3. I don't game on portables so I'd prefer an U4 on ps3.

Megaton4861d ago

I think they'd be wasting Naughty Dog's time and talent with a portable game.

ChristianGamer4861d ago

Feeling a lil thirsty. Does anybody have some water? No? Got Milk?

DelbertGrady4861d ago

Uncharted 4: Modern Warfare.

j/k.

PlayerX4861d ago

What? No. It's Sony so it's no milking.

wildcat4861d ago

This is one tit I wouldn't mind getting nursed from till I've had my fill!

Spenok4861d ago

So long as they manage to stay so juicy and round then im all for it! xD

Cajun Chicken4861d ago (Edited 4861d ago )

Personally, I'm so used to ND making a trilogy that I kind of want Uncharted to end. Well, not end, just take a break. Bring back Jak for a while, then I'll have more Drake and Uncharted. That, or I'd love to see what ND does with a new IP.

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

It's about retirement...oh wait

UNCHARTED2FANATIC907d ago (Edited 907d ago )

I cant even say what the point was its easily the worst story in the series. The online was a whole lot of fun though but overall doesn't come even close to 2

porkChop907d ago (Edited 907d ago )

It was a step back for sure. Personally, I thought even the MP was way better in U2. Solid game, glad I played it. I just think they didn't push as hard as they did with U2.

UNCHARTED2FANATIC902d ago

Yes both the online and story was better in 2 no doubt

Flewid638906d ago

The "young Drake" portion was pretty top notch, story-wise. But yeah, everything outside of that I felt was inferior.

DanielEndurance907d ago

Villains were all over the place in this… one second they wanted Drake dead, the next they needed him, then they want him dead again, then they coulda killed him, but poisoned his friend instead, then coulda shot him again, but had brunch with him, then needed him alive, then coulda mowed him down, but decided to kill him by fire and let him escape… Uncharted 2 was way better. 😅😅

slowgamer907d ago

=D Sounds crazy. I don't remember any of that. Played it on ps3 and I remember thinking that why was this game so bashed compared to second one. I liked it.

Chocoburger906d ago (Edited 906d ago )

Another thing that annoyed me about UC3 events was the agent Talbot teleporting around Turkey. It just felt off to me, and made no sense.

Also, for about one third of the game, you go on a wild goose chase to rescue Sully, who wasn't even there to be rescued, and you end up back where you started again. There was simply no pay off for all the events you go through, so it fell flat in that regard as if they couldn't figure out how to make the game longer, so they decided to side-track you to do something with no pay off, hoping you wouldn't notice due to all the incredible action set pieces they made.

Overall though, even with its flaws, I still enjoy the game.

TheEnigma313906d ago

This was actually my least favorite in the series. Didn't have that same impact that part 2 set.

Flewid638906d ago

Uncharted 2 is the pinnacle of the series (to me).

Granted, 4 had the best story in my opinion, but 2 was the overall best game.
