Why I Hope Uncharted 4 Doesn't Happen Soon

Let me get it out there first, I haven’t been the biggest fan of the ps3. In fact, I waited until the fall of 2008 to finally cave in and purchase the system. I was a proud owner of a used 60 GB, quite rare at the time. But I only purchased one game, MGS4. Certainly a great game, but it was the one title that piqued my interest...

I actually thought Uncharted 3 grew Drakes character very well. Why is he motivated to treasure hunt? Because he has been raised as an orphan in a cruel Catholic orphanage and needed an escape route. He picked Sir Francis Drake. I mean how much exposition does this guy need. It's all there hidden cleverly in the dialogu.

With regards to Marlowe he may of missed the point of cerebral villains.

I totally agree. The fact that UC3 has the author asking questions such as why does Drake do what he does and what is his real name shows how much depth was added to the character. It has me more excited for UC4 than I was for UC3, no longer is this simply a treasure hunting game for pure fame and fortune but a game with a human and flawed protagonist who is clearly damaged goods.

I loved Uncharted 3. People just think it's cool to dislike really high profile games. It happened with GTA4, it happened with Halo 3, and it's happening with Uncharted 3. I agree that Naughty Dog should take a break with Uncharted, and all signs point to the fact they already are with The Last of Us being unveiled. However, Uncharted 1, 2, 3, have been absolutely incredible games and probably my favorite new IP of this generation right next to Assassin's Creed.

IMO (being a HUGE AC fan), Assassin's needs to end next year, but not Uncharted.

The difference being that AC follows a large story arc spanning over 5 games, all stories connecting together in a meaningful way.

However, Uncharted feels more episodic, each game isnt connected together so tightly with an overall story arc. Which is why I would love there to be more games...as it wouldnt ruin anything already established.

AC however...is feeling a bit like lost, always leaving you hanging for more.

Again..this is from someone who considered Revelations as a personal 2011 GOTY, I hope that Ac3 if the final game for this gen, and we have an epic and satisfying conclusion.

"It lacked sex, added unnecessary cameos, and let’s not kid ourselves… there wasn’t even a final boss."

Stopped reading here, this probably says all you need to know about the author.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis5h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7223h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 1h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 1h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK22h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast4h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake20h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast3h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon16h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast3h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
