Extended Uncharted 4 Sequence Finds The Drake Brothers In Trouble

 

 

 

Like it normally does when it's at a Sony press conference, the latest Uncharted title, Thief's End, took the audience on a thrill-laden rollercoaster ride. What they didn't experience, however, was a large chunk of action that occurred after the screen went black. Today we saw more of the game's impressive action sequence, the motive's behind Sam's quest, as well as the return of Nathan's wife, Elena.

 

The trailer below show at the press conference dramatically stops when Nate's about to crash into wooden scaffolding while he's grappled to a crane truck chasing the escape of his brother Sam. Needless to say Nathan survives the ride and is dragged on the ground on the opposite bank, where he starts firing on an enemy jeep racing alongside. The jeep explodes and crashes, flipping up in a ball of fire and debris. Like in many other parts of the video, the onscreen spectacle of particles, dirt, and any other objects affected by the physics of the explosion is very impressive.

 

Nate climbs up the crane cable and finds firm footing on the back of the truck as enemies continue to fire at him.. He shoots his way clear and jumps up to the lead truck chasing Sam, who is busy holding his own on a motorcycle at the head of the pack. Nate leaps from the truck into the passenger seat of a nearby jeep. He struggles with the driver and commandeers the vehicle.

 

As Nate argues with Sam as to whom should jump onto whose vehicle, Nate is suddenly t-boned by a charging truck. The scene is a violent and jarring end to the chase. Nate gathers himself after the accident, upside down in the flipped-over jeep and trapped. A fire breaks out in the vehicle and the player has to QTE Nathan out of danger. As he starts to crawl out, some of Rafe's thugs from the chase approach, guns drawn, unsure if anyone survived the crash. Nate surprises them and guns them down before they can fire.

 

Sam then rides up and gives Nate a lift on his motorcycle. The reprieve is short lived, however, before the armored truck in the video starts the chase anew. What follows is a classic Uncharted sequence where Sam is driving the bike toward the camera while the pursuing truck is hot on their heels. Nate fires back at it, but it doesn't do much good.

 

Sam makes his way onto a loading dock full of cargo trailers and stevedors. The chase ends as Sam skillfully slides the bike under a cargo bed as the truck crashes and explodes magnificently.

 

Both Sam and Nathan chuckle, unfazed at what has been another in a long line of adventures between them.

 

The pair reunite with Sully at their hotel, and Sam is excited at what he's found in his escape clues that reveal the location of the mythical colony of Libertaria, just northeast of King's Bay. This was a sort of pirate's commune, where they lived in a supposed utopian society. The best part for Sam, Nate, and Sully is that like many utopias, personal wealth and possessions were apparently shunned. Thus, they pooled all their pirate riches in a single building. Sam is giddy at the thought of so much gold and treasure stashed in one central place.

 

Nate is also swept up in the revelation until he enters his hotel room. Elena is there waiting for them, and she is clearly very hurt that Nate has lied to her about his whereabouts.

[dullu]

It doesn't get bigger than this.....this holiday season would have crushed all competition

[Aloy]

Damn it! So tempted to watch those gifs.Have to control myself till the game releases .BTW they said that they didn't want to spoil the major setpieces in UC4 as they did with UC3.I wonder how awesome they will be.

 

On the gameplay side,it looks so fluid.Also as there is a proper stealth mechanic this time,it's going to get better.

Neil Druckmann Interview

 

 

 

GamesBeat: From watching it, not playing it, it seems so over the top that it’s impossible that it isn’t scripted.

 

Druckmann: You’ll find out. When Bruce and I played, we were sweating bullets. We’re trying to play it with a certain pace in mind, but when you play, the pacing will be different as you take different paths. You might die. You might start over. But the thing is, there’s still a cadence to it. It’s still ramping up in intensity as you go through it, while still giving you choice, still giving you control of Nathan Drake.

 

What you’ll see in the second half, which we haven’t shown to the public, while you’re being dragged by the rope you’re swinging left and right. I’m using the truck as a occluder from the motorcycle that’s shooting at me. Then I’m climbing up the rope to jump into the truck and shoot the motorcycle. Then the truck’s on fire. I jump in the jeep and I’m back in control of driving it. It’s all these new and old mechanics that we’re mixing and matching and trying to refine.

 

GamesBeat: We saw a lot of interesting story elements in there.

 

Druckmann: From the end of Uncharted 3, Nathan Drake—he was a treasure hunter, a criminal, and he’s given all that up. He’s trying to settle down. And then this brother he thought was dead for years shows back up in his life and pulls him back into this adventure. This time they’re pursuing the treasure of Henry Avery. Avery was known as the King of Pirates, one of the most successful pirates of all time, and one of the very few who got away. He was never caught.

 

That gives us the historical what-if. What if Henry Avery massed all these other pirates and they built this amazing utopia where they pooled all their treasure together? Nathan initially thinks he’s doing it for one reason, getting back into this world of modern-day treasure hunters, but as you saw in the demo, even though there’s all this danger, bullets flying, and the stylized reality of Uncharted, this is what he lives for. He’s an adrenaline junkie. At the end of it you see that Elena’s back. She expects him to be in another part of the world, and she catches him in a lie.

 

GamesBeat: “A Thief’s End.” There are multiple meanings in that title, possibly?

 

Druckmann: There’s a lot of thieves in this game, from Henry Avery to Nathan Drake, his brother, Sullivan, the people pursuing the treasure, the antagonists.

 

GamesBeat: So we shouldn’t assume that title’s about Nathan Drake?

 

Druckmann: We have said that this is the closing chapter of Nathan Drake’s story. This is it for him.

 

GamesBeat: What’s it like going from one franchise to another and back?

 

Druckmann: The tone of these games is very different from The Last of Us. That was a very grounded, gritty, very visceral, violent game. Uncharted is kind of pulpy action-adventure. But at the heart of it the approach, for me, is very similar. It’s very character-driven. It’s all about the relationships. Even though it’s a stylized reality with these over-the-top explosions and action set pieces, good guys versus bad guys, at the heart of it it’s still telling a very human story. It’s about a guy and his relationship to the people closest to him, trying to find the balance between pursuing his passions and living a normal life. You can’t have it both ways. That’s one of the things we want to explore with the story.

 

GamesBeat: So it’s not just Sully tugging one way and Elena the other? It’s a new character pulling him.

 

Druckmann: Every character in this cast is a different facet of Nathan Drake. All these characters have evolved over the course of three games, too. We’ve seen how tumultuous the relationship between Nathan and Elena has been. Now it’s all coming to a head. You’re going to see each one of these characters being honest. We’re writing them honestly. They have their own objectives. They all have things that they want out of life and that they want out of Nathan. He can’t align all of that together along with what he wants.

Druckmann: We have said that this is the closing chapter of Nathan Drake’s story. This is it for him.

 

 

Does he mean that the Uncharted franchise will continue without Drake? Like Mass effect?

 

If that is the case we might step in Chloe's shoes.

[_Krypton_]

Or maybe he'll have kids with Elena .

[CarbonCore]

I will buy 10 copies if Elena is the main character, and they will all be collector editions.
