Is Sam Drake the Antagonist in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End?

When Sam Drake made his debut in the Uncharted 4: A Thief's End gameplay debut yesterday, it was instantly clear who was voicing Nathan's older brother -- Troy Baker -- but this gave us a huge clue to who the villain would be in Uncharted 4.

Troy Baker vs Nolan North.

The most epic showdown in voice acting history.

[Spotie]

You're missing Stephen Blum. Without him, epic isn't possible. Vic Mignona gets honorable mention.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

LOL, I'm not the only one who got that vibe? My first though was this guy ends up back stabbing Drake just watch. He just has jackass written all over him.

[Dee_91]

I got those villain-ee vibes from him.Super interested in how this story plays out.

[ValKilmer]

I always knew Nathan was a jerk. This just proves it.

[Relientk77]

Brother vs brother showdown?

Nathan better not friggin lose btw

[SaveFerris]

Bros before Hoes?

[Rimgal]

Is name is Sam Drake? I highly doubt that.

Nathan adopted Drake name.

[Fishy Fingers]

Drake is not Nathan Drakes last name...? Mmmmkay.

[Rimgal]

Have you played Uncharted 3?

[Silly gameAr]

It's not his real last name.

[Fishy Fingers]

Yes, they instigate that Drake is not his birth name but they don't confirm what is and considering the fact every other character refers to him as Drake as well as the majority of the games names themselves I think it's generally excepted that everyone calls him (himself included) as Drake. What Marlow suggests is never confirmed.

Unless I'm missing something, I think Nathan drake is more accurate than Nathan 'something'.

[Rimgal]

*SPOILER ALERT*

No. The game made it perfectly clear that he's been lying about his identity the whole time. His name isn't Drake and he's not related to Francis Drake. He needed an excuse to keep the ring from Sully when he was young.

So do you think that his long lost brother coincidentally adopted the same name too?

[ps4gamer1983]

When I look at the picture of Sam, he looks very much like Sully to me. He could be a son or nephew of Sully. Also he talks to Drake in a manner that would suggest that they have some history (other than only just blood relations) which would suggest to me that Drake has known him for quite some time. But I could be wrong.

Also i'm curious what part Sully plays in this game. That man was way too old in Uncharted 3, and clearly some time has passed in UC4 due to Drake's wrinkles and slightly greying hair.

[goldwyncq]

I seriously hope that he doesn't turn out to be another Harry Flynn.

[98xpresent]

I thought his name was stan

[HentaiMasterRace]

Probably

[SynestheticRoar]

Both of these guys worked together on my favorite PS2 fighting game Urban Reign.

[IIFloodyII]

So his surname name is also Drake? I thought Nate just pretended that was his second name.

[BlissSeeker]

The only thing that wouldn't make this cheesy is if Sam Drake beats Nathan. Can't imagine that going down too well with the hardcore fans though!

[LightDiego]

"Nathan, i'm your father".

[Inception]

Antagonist? Maybe, but i got the feeling that we will be playing as Sam at some point in the game.

But obviously i'll wait the inevitable scene where Troy Baker and Nolan North punch / kick each other in the nuts :D
