Uncharted 4 is coming to Sony's PS4 some time in the near
future. Here's everything we know about Naughty Dog's next-gen adventure.
From scrappy, humble beginnings, the Uncharted series of
video games became one of Sony’s flagship action franchises on the last
generation of consoles. Players will thrilled by the tales of high adventure
contained in each game and Uncharted’s protagonist, the cock-sure, charismatic
rogue Nathan Drake (voiced by Nolan North one of the busiest voice actors in games),
became a gaming icon.
With the next generation of consoles upon us, it was always
likely that Sony and Uncharted developer Naughty Dog would be planning a title
in this series for the PlayStation 4. So while the announcement that a new
Uncharted title was in the works, it was hardly surprising.
Uncharted 4: Teaser
Trailer
The new Uncharted title was announced on
the eve of the
PS4’s North American launch when a teaser, which ran during a launch event.
In the trailer, players can here the harsh tones of actor
Todd Stashwick – who Supernatural fans may remember played Dracula on that show
– swearing revenge for being left “buried alive, erased” and “rotting in a
hellhole”. From the sounds of things, Stashwick will be playing the antagonists
in the game.
Uncharted 4: Visuals
While Naughty Dog are remained tight-lipped on many of the
details for Uncharted 4 the developer’s co-presidents Evan Wells and Christophe
Balestra told Eurogamer that visually speaking, the game is going to look great
on the PS4.
"Graphically you're going to see a big jump,"
Balestra.
Naughty Dog community strategist Arne Meyer also told
Eurogamer that the developer is going offer a great gaming experience on the
PS4.
"Our goal is to continue what we've done in previous
console generations and once again deliver the best in storytelling,
performance capture, technical innovation and graphics on the PS4,” she told
Eurogamer.

Uncharted 4: Gameplay
and story
The teaser doesn’t really reveal much about Uncharted 4’s
plot, although it sounds like Nathan Drake’s shady past may be about to catch
up with him. While he’s the hero of the Uncharted series, fans will know that
Drake hasn’t exactly live the life of a virtuous choirboy. However, the
scenario described in the teaser by the antagonist’s voice over hints that
Drake may have led a far darker life than once imagined – one that included
leaving a compatriot to die.
The teaser doesn’t show any gameplay at all, but going on
earlier instalments in the series, it’s probably a safe bet that all the action
will take place from a Third-Person perspective and will involve a lot of
shooting, jumping and running. We also expect giant-sized action set-pieces –
which have been the Uncharted series’ calling card since the first game – and
lots of puzzle solving.
Uncharted 4:
Development
The game’s announcement may be under a month old, but it’s
evident Uncharted 4’s development is well underway.
Eagle-eyed observers over at VR Zone spotted some images on
Todd Stashwicks official Twitter account that showed him wearing a mo-cap suit.
This may reveal that Stashwick is set to play a prominent part in the
forthcoming game – which is further backed up by the fact that his is the only
voice in the teaser trailer.
We’re keeping an eye on Nolan North’s Twitter account in
case he decides to join in and spill some details.

Uncharted 4: Release
date
Neither Sony nor Naughty Dog has revealed any indication as
to when the next Uncharted title will be released. However, going on previous
form, it’s likely that Uncharted 4 will be released near the end of the year –
we’re hoping it’s Christmas – or as our American cousins would have it, Holiday
- 2014, because we can’t wait to get our mits on it.
