Taking a well established universe such as Uncharted and applying it to a card game has a couple of benefits. So let's look at some facts. Do you think Uncharted: Fight For Fortune might be a sleeper asynchronous hit or will it fall apart like a house of cards?
Evan Schwab from Bit Cultures writes:
"Sure, in video games, we generally adopt the role of a ‘hero’ who battles his/her way through countless foes, often ending their lives. And often we celebrate these heroes because they provide us with entertainment and humor, and, through all the cold blooded murder, tend to save the metaphorical day. Nathan Drake is no stranger to this collection of heroes, but he – and so many others – appear to boast some sociopathic characteristics."
"Check out our brand new mini series about the PS Vita! We think a lot of games should have come to the handheld. This episode we talk about Uncharted: Fortune Hunter for iOS." -- Enthusiast
"In a refreshing bit of honesty, Sony recently confirmed that not only have they set a date of June 10th, 2016 for the Uncharted movie, but also confirmed it will be awful. " | Explosion.com
I don't think we need a satire article to tell us that
After Seth Gordons comments on the film, it's going to be like every other video game film
It's possible that this video game adaptation will be awful, not Mario Brothers or Street Fighter awful, but nowhere near the quality of the game and that'll be bad enough.
Why would they invest on this movie? yes the games are great, but all video games turn movies are terrible. Need for Speed? Prince of Persia? Mario Bros?
I agree @ Lord Maim
Silent Hill was a great movie, not to mention one of the best story games on video games.
Not when it's talking time and resources away from Bend studios who could've been working on a Syphon Filter by now.
How about releasing a new Uncharted Vita game in 2014? We don't need 2 in the same year, even if one is just a card game. Kinda tired of yearly releases, I'd prefer variety. So release Bioshock or something next year then come back to Uncharted with some fresh user input and ideas.
I know they're different devs, but my point still makes sense to me at least.
Yes, it "might" be great.
But it probably won't. Mostly because I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a "great" card game. Or even a "good" card game.

I don't see why people are getting a little worked up over this. It's probably just a quickly made card game with Uncharted themes to it, nothing groundbreaking, probably just a cheap downloadable game.
