Based on feedback from the focus testers, the ending should prove to be a divisive element and is certain to spawn lots of discussion among fans. Druckmann went on to add that a feeling of indifference would be the worst thing, opting to rather have people hate it than be indifferent, as that would signal that the studio failed to reach its goals of making fans feel emotion.
When asked specifically if Drake would make it out alive in the end, Druckmann played coy and gave the answer everyone expects in that he wouldn’t tell. Instead, he finished the conversation by saying that fans should expect Uncharted 4 to be honest to Naughty Dog. The developer worked hard to create a game that best represents what it wanted, rather than what outside people were asking for.
It’s clear that Naughty Dog is working hard to make Uncharted 4 the most technologically-advanced entry in the franchise. Thanks to the added hardware power from the PS4, Naughty Dog has been able to not only create some astounding visuals based on the trailers and screenshots that fans have seen, but the technological detail in the world has also increased significantly. In a recent video, Naughty Dog revealed many of the ways that this game pushes the technology behind the scenes in new directions, including massive play spaces, artificial intelligence, and even gameplay mechanics.
Do you think Nate is going to make it out alive at the end of the game? How do you think Naughty Dog is going to wrap up this series? Let us know what you think down in the comments.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End launches on May 10, 2016 exclusively for the PS4.
