First Uncharted Movie Details

Kotaku writes: "In case you missed it, our own Mr. Hollywood, John Gaudiosi, ran an excellent feature this morning on the Avrads, and their plans to start making video game movies that don't suck. Avrad gives the first details on the Uncharted movie project, which until now had only been hinted at.

When it comes to the big screen adventure, Arad said the plan is to mix things up a little bit. In the game, the action moves very quickly to the island, but the film will open things up a bit and add some depth before the island adventure.

So, more talking, more sexual tension, less gunplay. Avrad also stresses that Nathan Drake is not just another Indiana Jones clone, saying "Indiana Jones was always a good guy and he relentlessly did the right thing. Drake is a guy who's being hauled over to virtue throughout the game"."

Call it Nathan Drake City of the Gods.

Hydrolex5833d ago

I was playing yesterday and I cannot believe how beautiful this game looks !!!!!!!!!!!!

FaSeCeX5833d ago

the graphics looked gr8 even w/out an hdtv too...if u havent played uncharted yet u're missing out

Final_Rpg5833d ago

They aren't THE best, but they are hella good and definitely one of the top few.

morganfell5833d ago

Only Metal Gear Solid 4 has shown itself to best Uncharted in the graphics department. In less than a year of the PS3's existence it became the graphics king in one fell swoop.

The voice over acting is great with just the right touch of humor. Never has something as simple as someone whacking their head on a tunnel entrance been so hilarious. This game is a great example why ND should have been given the Bond license.

Sounds lame. I just know they'll get someone completly opposite from Nathan Drake to play him too. Wait and see. As in all Hollywood adaptations they get the biggest contrasting difference to play the source material. Always.

I bet Keanu Reeves or Justin Timberlake will star as Drake, thats how lame Hollywood is these days.

Remember when the did actual casting by design?

Remember Dolph as HE-MAN? WOW! That was a good match. Remember dolph as the Punisher? That was a good match. Remember Van Dam as Guile? Not so goodd. the list continues onnward too.

Wwhat's scarier than all this above though is this; Uncharted isn't even 1 year old yet and there is already a movie being penned by Hollywood. That's scary. The well has run dry and desperation is all that can be wenched up out of it now.

timmyrulz5833d ago

I agree with you Silogon, times must be hard over in Holywood when they are thinking of making movies from games thats fresh from the pantry. What next, LBP the adventures of teddy ruxspin or Viva Pinata : the island of doctor marau 2?

Fishy Fingers5833d ago

Whaaaa??

HE-MAN movie rocked, one of the finest comedies I've ever seen ;)

Final_Rpg5833d ago

Wait till you see dragon ball, you're going to discover a whole new meaning to crappy anime/game adaptions...

mindedone5833d ago

The guy in that show is a little bit drier than Nathan is, but I think he could pull it off if he can change that. In fact the relationship the two male characters have in Burn Notice is the exact same one found in Uncharted.

smokeymicpot5833d ago

they should just get harrison ford.

ravinash5832d ago

Hes a little old for the part don't ya think?

They should get people you never heard of, that way the focus is more on the character rather than the actor.

BaSeBaLlKiD7215833d ago (Edited 5833d ago )

i think that tom cruise should play nathan drake...

Cyrus3655833d ago

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

ABizzel11152d 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_921153d ago (Edited 1153d 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.

Inverno1153d 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.

DFresh1153d ago (Edited 1153d 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.)

NecrumOddBoy1152d 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.

Michiel19891152d ago

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

medman1152d ago (Edited 1152d 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.

brando0081152d ago

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

Gardenia1153d 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.

Ninver1152d ago

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

Michiel19891152d ago

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

Ninver1152d ago

@michiel1989

Not sure
