Uncharted 3: Still No Charts

uncharted-3-650x273.png
According to Naughty Dog’s creative director Amy Hennig, the theme of deception plays out in multiple ways throughout the threequel, from Drake doing the deceiving to Drake being deceived to some mysterious deception about Drake’s very identity. The story focuses on the hero’s relationship with his mentor and father figure, fan fave Victor “Sully” Sullivan, and has him searching for a legendary lost city that will ultimately take him to the Arabian Peninsula and the vast wasteland of the Rub’ al Khali Desert, also known as the Empty Quarter. (Said legendary lost city has been known by various names, including “Iram of the Pillars” and the “Atlantis of the Sands”; click the link for more backstory.)

Uncharted likes to keep one foot (or at least a toe) grounded in history (Nathan’s ancestor is the British pirate, explorer and Navy officer Sir Francis Drake) and the plot of Uncharted 3 draws more from Drake’s exploits as well as from the life of T.E. Lawrence — not from his militant days as the fabled “Lawrence of Arabia,” but rather the Brit’s early years as an archaeologist. The inspiration for the story, says Hennig, came from Naughty Dog’s desire to take on the challenge of conceiving and building out gameplay scenarios within a desert locale — “challenge,” because organic elements like water, fire and sand are technically difficult to credibly render with animation. Says Hennig: “When we first came up with the idea of sand, you see everyone’s eyes light up here and go, ‘Yeah, that’s going to be really hard — let’s do it!’” Adds Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells: “We’re a bunch of nerds. We just look for something that will be a technical, artistic challenge, and allowed us to push into an area of the world and history we’ve never tapped into before.”

    The EW article linked in the OP has a fair amount of information.

    Unlike the OP

    (nah you did okish)

    For instance did you know that Sir Francis Drake was a real person?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Francis_Drake#Final_years

    Also this is the supposed hidden city they are searching for.

    Francis Drake adventures or dirty Welsh peasant adventures?

    We'll probably get scurvy and rickets doing both, it's not much of a choice

    Holy shit, Hobnail, I'm related to Francis Drake too.

    We're like cousins or something.

    Do we...do we make out now? Or do we try to behead each other to gain the others Quickening? I'm not sure how this works.

    Solution: only be friends with other 3DTV owners.

    When they come over, they can bring their own glasses, and vice versa.
