Does Nathan Drake Look Older in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception?

We are thrilled and over joyed by the revealing of Uncharted 3. Not only that, we broke some exclusive information for you guys. I was just observing the screens for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and I found that he looks a bit older. I mean Naughty Dog has always potrayed him as a young and an acrobatic character, but he seems to be aging.

He certainly looks different, not sure I like the expression in that main image! Not older, just..... different.

"Does Nathan Drake Look Older in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception?"

When time passes on, things like this occur. Its ok, the sun will come out tomorrow...

[Istanbull]

Cmon what is this, n4p: news for paparazzi? Who cares if he gets older, does it affect the solid gameplay? Will u deduct points because it haz the agingz??

Does this site ever make good articles, yesterday "This is What a 1980's Xbox, PSP and GBA Would Look Like" and now this.

[ally12345]

Istanbull: Yes, god forbid we have some light-hearted articles every now and then.

[I_find_it_funny]

this is old

it's part if this "deception" thing, HE'S NOT OLDER IN THE PRESENTED CUTSCENE

jsut wait and see

[BabyTownFrolics]

i'm with istanbul, this stinks of lazy gaming journalism. It's like they are using the uncharted name for hits but have no news about the game so they go with shit like this.

its starting to sound like my little cousin and her friends discussing the physical differences between their dollys.

wow disagreed after one minute. The pussy stealth disagreers are up early today.

wow look at all the people below having a "serious" discussion about this, this is some funny shit

Uncharted 3 is a day one, and if I'm lucky I will get a copy a couple of days early like i did for uncharted 2, but this is just a big bowl of fruit.

[young juice]

drakes gonna be in his mid 30s and look like snake from mgs4.

then we gonna get a spinoff on psp.

@active reload

lol. u said "analytical"

[Downtown boogey]

@Active Reload

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh.......
Sully was "too old" for much of the stuff in Uncharted 1 already (he said that, u know) so how can he be able to hang with the possibly older Drake now??
That'd be ridiculous.
That's why Drake can't be much older in 3, he just looks that way for whatever reason.

[Active Reload]

Boogey, I was obviously joking, but thank you for your analytical-well thought out observation...

[LionheartAce]

He's covered in sand, dummies. The scene where he's reading the book only goes to show his age as the clearest possible image.

[Blaze929]

Oh wait:

[ally12345]

he looks a little chubbier. although this IS still early development so ND might update his look further on down the line.

[crxss]

he has a gorilla face. yea i hope this is just an early reveal flaw and will be different in the final code.

@I_find_it_funny why do people keep relating the title "Deception" to Nathan Drake? It most likely has to do with Sir Francis Drake kind of like the 1st one's title. I'm sick of hearing about how Drake isn't who we think he is and is going to deceive us. that's just We Todd Did.

[Kran]

He's definitly grown. I just hope he doesn't get too old. The younger he is, the more games we'll get :P

[mushroomwig]

He's not a real person though so that's not an issue, it's not like the developers are worried that Drake will get too old to play Drake, look at Mario..he's been the same for years.

If he is supposed to be older and it doesn't work out then they can just revert to the younger version.

[Kran]

Yes, but Nathan is set in a realistic world. A world where people don't stay the exact same age. Unlike Mario, Nathan gets older. All series should come to an end once a character is on his death bed... unfortunatly for Mario, that isnt going to happen soon ¬¬

[Pozzle]

@Kran - On the bright side, assuming Nathan is in his thirties, that means he still has many years of adventuring left in him.

[SnakeMustDie]

It will be weirder if he looked younger in deception like Sam Fisher in conviction.

[AlienFodder]

Interesting... I always thought Sam looked older in Conviction. But then I could be wrong... :)

[SnakeMustDie]

If you played that horrible game Double Agent you will see that Sam Fisher somehow became younger in Conviction.

[plb]

He looks ready for an adventure

[Quagmire]

He looks tired as hell, given he just survived an airplane crash in the desert that is (cant wait to play that segment!)

[Masamori Sumimura]

i dunno. looks more detailed instead.

[Wolfie]

he looks smexier than ever

[AlienFodder]

Hell yeah! :)

[AlienFodder]

I believe he does indeed look older in UC3. Especially here:

http://i3.photobucket.com/a...

But I think that's a good thing. He looks gorgeous in that screenshot and it seems to me that he's only getting better with age. :)

[Masamori Sumimura]

def older.

[Pozzle]

Dayum...he doesn't JUST look older. He looks a good 10-or-so years older. Naughty Dog have put a fair bit of detail into the wrinkles near his eyes a mouth, so it definitely seems intentional.

I wonder if he is genuinely older, or if the wrinkles are a result of being stranded in the desert for so long?

Either way, he's still a babe. :O
(though I hope he doesn't get too old too soon. I don't want Drake's adventuring to end too soon!)

[Xulap]

Holy crap. That can't be real.
Has to be a modified picture or something. He looks like Schäfer from Among Thieves.

[Yes_2]

I hate to say it, but he looked cuter in U2.

Sorry Nate :(

[nskrishna2]

Nice to see this pop up.
He sure as hell looks older. His face looks more mature than it was in Uncharted 2. When the screens came out I thought I was the only one who thought he looked older. Can't wait for this game.

[TardcoreGamer]

He most certainly does. his face seems more filled out than in the first two games. other than Donut Drake lol.

[chadwarden]

Well after doing all the stunts that he's had to pull off,who wouldn't look older.

[Linko64]

You would look older after all the shit he's been through!! :P

[Inzo]

Slow day huh.

[andron]

He's obviously looking a bit under the weather because of dehydration and being lost in the desert after some accident....

[mattkelly1991]

Of course he looks older. PS3 is 4D. ;)

Either way, this game is going to be amazing.

[NIRVANArazor]

hes not, but this story is.
