Drake is there to meet a mysterious man named Talbot, who wants to buy Francis Drake’s ring off him, since apparently neither has heard of eBay, and things quickly go south from there. The trailer set up a truly dreary and almost desperate tone, and if the game carries through with that and maintains the “this is it” theme throughout the plot, it could easily be the best in the series.Script-writer Amy Hennig starts the third game out in a slightly less exotic environment than the previous two titles, opting to build up suspense with a tense stand-off inside a London pub so East End it’s a wonder Nathan Drake doesn’t slip over in jellied eel liquor. Uncharted 4 has a great set up – the last adventure for our two heroes, who know that their time in the world of pirates, thievery, and treasure plundering is nearly over.

There just isn’t a lot of necessary and satisfying story to tell. Nate has little left to prove in the world of archaeology, him and Elena are probably still married (as evidenced by his wedding ring in the Uncharted 4 trailer), and Sully is surely going to be retiring to some island soon where he can haunt the bars like a modern-day Hemingway. Where the story is concerned, all of the characters are starting to come to a logical and satisfying close. And who wants an Uncharted game without Sully? It was already a stretch to watch the old man scale walls with the finesse of a 20-year-old gymnast in the last installment, and if Naughty Dog really want to tell a story, they’ll understand when Sully has to go. That day never seemed closer than it did in Drake’s Deception. He’s only gotten older since then, and let’s face it, he’s gotta hang up his hiking boots and revolver some day. Not only was Sully trying to show Nate how out of control their lifestyle was getting, but Sully himself was getting too old for it. Ol’ Nate may get off on near-death experiences, but it was clear that he was seeing just how unglamorous death can be. He especially came to his senses when he ended up wandering the goddamn desert alone and nearly succumbing to dehydration. Shit was getting real when just too many people started dying, and Nate was clearly starting to see that. Throughout Uncharted 3, Sully was constantly warning Nate against how far they had gone into the seedy underworld in their hunt for treasure. Not to mention, this was always more of a side story than the focus of the game, with most of the action being centered around Nate and Sully, which brings me to my next point. Given that this relationship was already put in jeopardy once because of Drake’s wanderlust, it’s just not going to be as appealing to watch Nate try to win her back again. We have watched them grow, come and go, and somehow end up back together again for another adventure.īut…where else do these characters have to go? For one, Nate and Elena appear to have gotten back together at the end of Drake’s Deception, which only really leaves their future together as husband and wife to be explored. Very rarely do we see developers put real love into their characters like we have with this series.

One of, if not the biggest, selling points to the Uncharted series is the characters and their development.
