  • News Guess What? The Uncharted Movie Is Back On

    Here we go again

    The movie that will never get made is… Getting made again! You may recall director Shawn Levy departing the Uncharted movie project late last year, mercifully putting the non-starter on ice.

    A new adventure awaits

    Uncharted: The Lost Legacy was fronted by a fresh crop of Naughty Dog staffers, and it always felt to us like a “passing of the guard” type project.

  • News Everyone's Saying Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Is 10 Hours Long

    But it's a bit misleading

    Bloody hell, the standard of games websites gets worse, doesn't it? Over the weekend, an interview with Naughty Dog's Arne Meyer got picked up by dozens of bigger sites, all because reporters without reading comprehension assumed spin-off Uncharted: The Lost Legacy will be 10 hours or longer. Ironically, the director of...

Speaking with the PlayStation Blog, writer Josh Scherr had the following to say regarding the potential...

  • News Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Will Have the Largest Area in the Series

    An Indian adventure

    Uncharted's still a hyper-linear game, but there were signs in A Thief's End that Naughty Dog wanted to blow out the scale of the release.

    And rightly so

    We've noticed that it's become cool to hate Uncharted 4: A Thief's End in some circles, but that's not stopping it from scooping up awards like they're going out of fashion.

    Filmmaker and Naughty Dog don't sound like friends

    Sony's been plotting an Uncharted movie for as long as this website has consumed bandwidth, but the project seems closer to becoming a reality than it's ever been.

    Developer hasn't even read the script

    When it comes to movies based on video games, there's a surprisingly common misconception that developers have a say in the production of the big screen adaptations that are based on their work - but most of the time, this isn't the case. Usually, brands are simply passed along to movie studios who then produce...

    One individual had to be ejected

    By and large, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has prompted a pretty damn positive response – but not everyone is in love with the PlayStation 4 exclusive. But while criticisms of its pacing and platforming may be more than fair, comments about the gender of some of its characters are less reasonable. However, that's...
