Uc4 Drake on Ground

Nolan North, ever the interesting interviewee and voice of Nathan Drake, has recently revealed that around 8 months of work on Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was scrapped after director Amy Hennig left Naughty Dog back in March of 2014. "We had shot 8 months of her story and it was all thrown away," the voice actor stated at a MetroCon panel.

"I don't know what happened exactly. Amy is still a very dear friend of mine and she's brilliant but the Last of Us guys were the next team there so they took over and they just wanted their own flavour," North continued. However, he does go on to say that the personnel swap didn't have a huge impact on the direction of the title's story, and that the team at Naughty Dog is still very much committed to the project.

Nevertheless, eight months of recording work going down the drain is rather substantial, and no doubt partly explains why development of the 2016 release was lengthened as the game was delayed into next year. if you're eager to see the full panel, feel free to click through here, but in the meantime, why not take a seat and tell us what you make of this in the comments section below.
