After solving Metroid in part 1 And after that Halo in part 2, Game informantTheir Video Gameography podcast draws attention to one of Sony’s greatest assets: Uncharted. Over the next few weeks we’ll be taking a look at all the major entries in Naughty Dog’s blockbuster action series, so sit back and relax as we kick off the season with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.
Developed by Naughty Dog, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is a major release for Sony’s PlayStation 3 console. Released on November 19, 2007, Uncharted ushered Naughty Dog into an era of bold “adult” game development. In this week’s episode, we’ll talk about the history of developing titles like Naughty Dog’s Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter, and how the studio was barely prepared for the challenges of Uncharted’s development. We also talk about how Naughty Dog almost designed a game similar to BioShock, how Johnny Knoxville served as inspiration for Nathan Drake, and how the release of Gears of War changed Uncharted’s design to better.
