I think Mark Welhberg would be a cool Drake. If we can forgot he was ever Max Payne. (Gives me the shivers each time i remember that movie ugh)

eldingo3297d ago (Edited 3297d ago )

that movie is a prime example of an amazing actor in a terrible movie.

@OrangePowerz have you even seen the max payne movie in question man that thing was awful it had one of the stupidest plots (i say this having seen idioacracy) and they completely got bullet time wrong in that movie it sucked man it was a hot mess man.

OrangePowerz3297d ago

Don't you mean the other way around? A potential great movie with a horrible actor?

OrangePowerz3297d ago

I thought you mean Uncharter would be a prime example a terrible movie with an amazing actor :D

I wouldn't consider Marky Mark is an amazing actor either. I just can't see him as Drake, he isn't the witty, cool charismatic guy that you would hang out with for a few beers after work. Marky Mark is a bro dude type.

Yi-Long3297d ago

Tyler Hoechlin would make a great Nathan Drake.

Dangiroud3297d ago

Did you Just called mark walberg an amazing actor?

Sitdown3297d ago

Mark Wahlverg would be a perfect fit; he has shown the ability to be witty.

WilliamUsher3297d ago

Uh, Walhberg was one of the biggest problems with the Max Payne movie because he REFUSED to play the games. Hence he came across as wooden and lifeless in the role.

He could have better portrayed Max had he at least put in his due diligence. The movie was bad no doubt, but it was made worse with Marky Mark's terrible turn as Max Payne.

UltraNova3297d ago

I'd go with Star Lord for Drake's role..

Mark Wahlberg isn't charismatic like Drake. That's a big part of his character and the fact that he lacks it just makes me worry. I think Chris Pratt can do it justice. I honestly don't see how executives that run these studios make these obvious bad decisions.

mushroomwig3297d ago

Chris Pratt has the charm but not the looks. Nathan Fillion has both of those, he would fit into that role so easily.

Thatguy-3103297d ago

@Mushroomwig
When doing a movie the best one can do is cast someone that can act the part well even if they don't resemble the character physically. Nathan fillion would be perfect but now he's kind of old. I'm pretty sure they're aiming for a franchise so Chris Pratt beign younger can pull it off well.

JasonKCK3297d ago

Mark Welhberg is an average actor at best.

hkgamer3297d ago

i think mark wahlberg would be a good fit.

he is a good actor, not great or anything special but he is above average i suppose. but whats better is that he is an amazing star. films like this needs star power more than acting power.

lookingat other comments on this reply.
tyler hoechlin? who the fk is he? had to google and found that he was the son of tom hanks in road to pedition, no one remembers who is he in that film apart from tom hanks being in it.

nathan fillion? that tv actor that has had no success? also a bad actor and no star power apart from being in 1 season tv series which geeks and nerds love.

chris pratt? i guess he is a hot star rigt now, he can work.

chris evans is basically captain america.

nathan fillion? yes had to mention him twice, he is a nobody and people need to recognise this.

FriedGoat3297d ago

Mark Wahlberg is dull and lifeless.
Drake needs character and charm and wahlberg doesn't have that.
Nathan Fillion would be perfect, considering Nathan Drake is based on his character in Firefly.

hellothere19773297d ago

Sorry, I don't find a coward who threw rocks at colored schoolchildren (while calling them n*ggers) deserving of being Drake.

But by all means, you are free to support a racist coward all you like.

Proof? Google his court records. He's a piece of sh*t.

jdiggitty3297d ago

I always liked how he gets to forgive himself for the attempted murder and blinding another guy. Never actually asked for forgiveness, just granted it to himself.

And now he's asking the governor to pardon his crimes cause the felonies prevent him from spreading his stupid burger chain in some states. Yeah, he's garbage

Wow, the spelling errors are cringe inducing. To think that she was co-chairman.

OrangePowerz3297d ago (Edited 3297d ago )

Or not being able to correctly spell your product PlayStation while spelling X-Box right. Play station? Really?

doctorstrange3297d ago

Looking at some of the other emails, Sony Pictures employees as a whole treated PlayStation simply like another company. Here and there in the emails, however, you can see the 'One Sony' initiative brought up and slowly start to work on some.

kneon3297d ago

Now that so many people try to send emails on their touchscreen phones spelling has just gone down the toilet. It's too much of pain to try and fix all the typos and auto-misspell so many people just let them go so long as the receiver can still understand what was meant.

JohnathanACE3297d ago

Personally I think Nathan Fillion would make an amazing Nathan Drake in both looks and personality. I guess Welhberg is ok but defiantly not my first choice.

Crimzon3297d ago

I'm fairly sure Nathan Drake was based on Nathan Fillion when they designed him. I recall reading about how they wanted Fillion to be the voice actor as well.

hkgamer3297d ago

but we have to admit that nathan fillion sucks as an actor and has no star power.

@crimzon
maybe they based the look and feel off him. but he just isnt big enough to bring in money for a succesful film.

zsquaresoff3297d ago

Im not too sure about Mark Wahlberg as Nathan drake.

Hugh jackman could be interesting or Nathan fillion.

Uncharted needs to be an all out adventure movie and not a runaway spy flick like the Bourne series were.

BluEx6103297d ago

I would like Hugh Jackman as Joel in The Last of Us. Have you seen Prisoners? Great movie and I can totally see him as Joel.

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."

UC 2, 4, 3 and 1. Great read and article

ABizzel11003d ago

No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.

UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita

Levii_921004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.

Inverno1004d ago

U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.

DFresh1004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

I'd rate it as the following.

1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)

2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)

3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)

4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)

NecrumOddBoy1003d ago

I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.

Michiel19891003d ago

uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.

medman1003d ago (Edited 1003d ago )

I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.

brando0081003d ago

I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.

Gardenia1004d ago

Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.

Ninver1003d ago

Yeah all of a sudden I've got that Uncharted itch.

Michiel19891003d ago

is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?

Ninver1003d ago

@michiel1989

Not sure
