Op-Ed: Will Naughty Dog Kill Nathan Drake?

After an interview with PlayStation, GamerFitNation's Blackbible realized something very disturbing: "Now before you all rush to say ” Naughty Dog wouldn’t Dare” Think about this. It seems that nowadays heros are not safe within the realm of their own story. Have you not noticed that developers have been killing off their own main characters as of late? Is this an attempt to free themselves from being locked down to a character, or franchise? Or are they afraid that they may not be able to produce a story with the character, that will keep your interest? Take a ride with me down the painful road of fallen heros and maybe you will agree that this could be Nathan Drake’s last Uncharted adventure."

WTF (nice headline/s)

Criminal4678d ago (Edited 4678d ago )

(Spoiler Alert) should be in the first part of the title so it can actually "alert".

Edit: Thanks for fixing the title.

@Pozzle you're right, but at least now people have a fighting chance.

Pozzle4678d ago (Edited 4678d ago )

Even though the "spoiler alert" is at the beginning of the title, my brain still read the rest of it before I could stop myself.

I'm glad this is just an opinion piece, and not actual news because that's would be a douche move to put such a big spoiler in an article's title. >_>

Perjoss4678d ago

i highly doubt that this is true. Epic fail on the headline though, who approves this crap. I had Heavy Rin spoiled for me by some idiot in a comments section (no spoiler warning, in fact he was deliberately trying to spoil people's fun) once, so i really hate this behaviour.

MaxXAttaxX4678d ago (Edited 4678d ago )

WTF....

[NOTE]
There are spoilers for other games in the article! DO NOT CLICK unless you've already played through the games tagged.

phinch4678d ago

The picture of drake saying "deceased" did it for me,didnt have to read the title

Electroshocked4678d ago

It's not certain whether good Cole McGrath is actually dead or not...

BulletToothtony4678d ago

as a "gaming" articles like these should NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER be allowed, no matter for what game..

this is complete bullshit, n4g mods please do something about these type of articles and teach them that they can't come up with shit like this in order to get hits.

(Spoiler) Nathan Dies is a fucking insult to us gamers whether is true or not.

Fuck you gamerfination dumb fucks

rjdofu4677d ago

WARNING: to all people who gonna read past this comment. There will be a major spoiler about the ending for Infamous and GOW series on the later comments (some without spoiler tag). So be careful what you're gonna read.

i know right WTF spoiler alert the headline is the fukin spoiler. whats the point of reading

saladthieves4678d ago

@BLACKBIBLE -

WAY TO GO on alerting people about a spoiler!!

That's like saying: "Bad f!cking language alert: This sentence has some shit fuck words!"

mantisimo4678d ago

@ egidem that did make me laugh. Have a bubb.

saladthieves4678d ago (Edited 4678d ago )

Edit: Ah, I see he stealth edited the title. The picture is still a dead giveaway! People will see the picture and the words DECEASED on it and some (probably most) will go bananas and click on the link :)

Also, WAY TO GO AGAIN on not avoiding spoilers, on the article insides themselves!

AGAIN, the title inside remains "(Spoiler Alert) The Death of Uncharted’s Nathan Drake". Even if people skim through the article scrolling looking at pictures first (we always do) There are spoilers in there too.

Some people like had actually not played infamous 2 and could be worried after reading this.

It also reminds me the time I was reading a Battlestar Galatica article. Stupid dumb author put the "Final 5" pictures right in my face the moment I clicked the link , out of nowhere without even a spoiler warning. I was just a season and a half in the show, starting to think of what the final 5 looked like. :( It's a shame humans don't have a built in Ctrl + Z function so that we could undo such crappy unforeseen moments.

Treezy5044678d ago

SPOILER ALERT

Yet all the characters have questionable deaths

1. Nathan Hale - Can't say haven't played R1 or R2, but friends say they think he may be alive

2. Kratos - Bloodstains showing Kratos either crawled away or was dragged away.

3. Cole - Evil Cole is not dead and Good Cole appears dead until lighting strikes the boat and shows a question mark briefly.

4. Drake - Resurrected by Witch Doctor :P

I doubt ND would kill off Drake, but if they did it would probably be a questionable death and leave clues of his possible survival. I don't see them following this trend, they may kill off Sully or Elena for emotional value though.

Electroshocked4678d ago

I've had enough of them killing off protagonists this gen. it broke my heart when I saw John Marston die, it also broke my heart when I saw Cole McGrath die.

thespaz4678d ago (Edited 4678d ago )

Nathan Drake died many times in Uncharted 2 and I'm sure Uncharted 3 won't be any different. Some parts are just too hard! (edit: that's what she said!)

Hitman07694678d ago

I am not really sad if Drake is gone forever. I think that as amazing of a game as Uncharted is, some franchises get long in the tooth quicker than we realize and I want to see if Naughty Dog can re-invent the wheel with a New IP and give Uncharted a little vacation after part 3. Who's with me ? Agree/Disagree? Why?

Pozzle4678d ago

Why should Naughty Dog keep trying to reinvent the wheel? If they have an amazing series that are selling well, why ditch it to make a new IP? That doesn't make sense. From a business perspective or from a fan's perspective.

BLACKBIBLE4678d ago

(Spoiler Alert) I hear you @Pozzle but look at the past guys They had a good track. 2 of which didn't make it

Nate-Dog4678d ago

Just a word of warning to anyone who hasn't read it yet, contains a LOT of spoilers for some other games for those of you that haven't finished or played some of them yet, might want to take a raincheck on it.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro68d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7268d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_68d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga68d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2368d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200068d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin68d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole68d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix68d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198968d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12190d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle189d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh190d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90190d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930189d ago (Edited 189d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker189d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

+ Show (1) more replyLast reply 189d ago
TheEnigma313190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim190d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52190d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12190d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90190d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72190d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52189d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker189d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno190d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno190d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90189d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno189d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.
