Uncharted Part 4

In the recent years, story in video games has somewhat come back as part of a regular thing in games. After the release of the Playstation 4, Xbox tried to milk its audience for literally every dime they had. It was not until when the fans went crazy over it that Playstation gained more audience for not trying to directly screw over its audience. And with the next gen. consoles came remastered games. Given the recent attention to NaughtyDog’s The Last Of Us remastered, NaughtyDog received a chance to revive the Uncharted series for a little bit. The Last Of Us brought a lot of attention to the PS3 with its exceptional storytelling and characters. Even though this was a new way to tell a story in their games, NaughtyDog decided to go with some light-hearted drama. In Uncharted 4, Nathan helps his previously thought to be dead brother escape his debt of half the legendary pirate treasure to a drug lord. The game featured some Christian themes like the recurring reference to saint Dismas, the good thief who was on one of the crosses next to Jesus. The storytelling of the series evolved from this game as Nathan’s character evolves from his childish ways and grows up, as well as a lot more characters that helped the story develop the world. Many of the scenes and in game dialogue involving his brother, wife, and sully his kind of adoptive father were more deep and meaningful than in recent games. Rather than solely focusing on the treasure itself, the story as well took its time with developing Nathan’s struggling relationship with his wife and his inner dilemma, going to find the thrill of adventure or sacrificing it for Elena by committing to a nine to five job that is safe. It is a Shame the series evolved the story just to end it.
