Nolan North: Uncharted 3′s development is common sense

56 Comments | posted

Following the success of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, both critically and commercially, it’s almost a certainty that a third iteration is on the way from Naughty Dog. That’s a stance Nathan Drake’s voice, Nolan North, takes in his latest interview. And there’s a lot of ‘nudge nudge, wink wink, you know what I mean’ going on, to say the least.

[Spoiler]. Uncharted 3: Chloe’s Revenge. She’s got to be a little peeved that she didn’t get a bit of Nathan Drake at the end of the day. Oh, spoilers. Should have said that at the beginning. Uncharted 2 has been winning awards left right and centre, and is rightly considered one of the PlayStation 3′s best games. So when it comes to the question of whether Naughty Dog is working on Uncharted 3, the voice of Nathan Drake, Nolan North, thinks it’s common sense. In an interview with our friends over at PlayStationChat, North replied to the question “Are you, or are you not working on Uncharted 3?” with:

“I’m not supposed to talk about that. I’ve been told I can’t say one way or another. But I will ask a question back: Do you think it would be financially responsible of Sony to not make a third game that has made hundreds of millions of dollars for their company?

“You’ve just got to use your common sense. What do you think? I’m not supposed to say one way or the other. I would encourage everyone to tap into their common sense.”

That’s a hell of a hint there Mr North, but we promise not to take your words out of context. At the end of the podcast PlayStationChat’s host Ben tells Nolan, “We may talk again when Sony makes a certain financially logical decision,” to which he wryly replies:

“I’m sure if we all used our common sense, I’m sure that decision from Sony will be very, very soon. Not that I would know anyway. I would think that we would just have to hope that our senses are finely tuned into how the industry works. Not that I’m saying anything one way or the other. You should understand that… You should all think about what would be sound decisions [laughs].”

Hm, hmmm… Well we’re going to use our common sense and assume that the decision to make Uncharted 3 has already been made by both Sony and Naughty Dog. We’ll also presume that the team has already started work on the game. In fact, we’d presume that the team started brainstorming the game before they completed development on Uncharted 2. The question is, will we ever see Jak on the PlayStation 3?

We suggest you give PlayStationChat’s interview with Nolan North a really good listen, since you’ll even get to hear him offer impressions of a whole host of sperms. Yes, sperms. Still, his South African accent needs some work.

  • Its possible that Uncharted 3 could be way better than Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. I mean, when Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune first came to stores, it wasn’t really good. Not to offend you Uncharted fans out there, but the gameplay was short, it didn’t make sense how Nate found Sir Francis Drake’s coffin, and how Nate learned how to handle himself in a gunfight. In the making of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Naughty Dog had the perfect opportunity to correct mistakes. They did! They gameplay was longer, the story was amazing, there was a lot of suspense… they basically made everything like a movie. I know guys probably think I’m not making a point, but what I’m trying say is, “Maybe Uncharted 3 could perfected again, like what Naughty Dog did with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves”. Think about it, we’re living in a world where we evolve with technology and perfect movie production, Uncharted 3 would be worth dying for, I promise you.

  • I mean, “The gameplay was longer”, my bad.

  • On June 15, of this year, I found on Game Spot, that posted that an Uncharted 3 has been confirmed with a release date, scheduled to be on October 31, 2011. E3 has said that they will have Naughty Dog to come over and talk about it by this Fall. In other news, Sony has announced that an Uncharted feature film be in the works of David O’ Russell, who will be in the director’s chair. Well, this sounds like this will be interesting.

  • I hope that they don’t make a live action movie of uncharted. (unless Nolan and the other actors are the actual actors in it….maybe). Maybe an animated movie with the Nolan and the others as the voices would be cool. I still think that they should stay as games though, and i still think that uncharted 2 is one of the single greatest games i have ever played. I am extremely excited to see where Naughty Dog decides to take us all to next!

  • Heads up (Dudemanguy), David O’Russel, the director that was going to make the Uncharted film, walked out of the project last month. Besides, I don’t think the Uncharted fans, and I would agree that an Uncharted animated movie would make us all go wild. Nothing personally, but I think it would make Natan Drake look gay, as an animated character.

  • SWEET! omg. i hope the game come fast.. here’s what i think..
    the game MUST be in the egypt or in the city… but an actual city, like 2010 buildings and new stuff.. xD
    or maybe we could try to find atlantis.. or we could have battle ships.. with cannons or something
    cuz this game will have to many games competing, like killzone 3, crysis 2 etc :P
    i think all of us are tired of jungle and snow. ^^ but its gonna be a BLAST!

  • I’m sorry, but I’m afraid that that isn’t really gonna be that exciting to play. I mean, I like your ideas, but it sounds like it will be a copy-written from “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2″. But, it would be worth to see Nate on a battleship, fighting some bad-a** antagonist in the Middle East, like some kind of terrorist. I like the idea of being in Egypt, but the idea of being in Atlantis… wouldn’t be that anxious to play. They even said that it wouldn’t be that fun for Nate to go in and out of water every day because the entire city is under water, and he’ll run out of air every hour. They anounced that on a website, which I think has been deleted a long time ago. I’m not trying to burst your bubble, (DAMN :D ), but I’m just doing my job. But I assure you, Naughty Dog is doing their very best on trying to make Uncharted 3 better than “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves”. It will destroy E3′s 2011 or 2012.

  • (Protector) i agree with u.. going out of water every day.. now that i think about it, that suck’s xD.. well Egypt would be nice cuz u don’t see sand and pyramids that much in games.. maybe Grecia some people would like .. cuz houses and builds are diferent there and it has a lot’s of mits.. like “centaurus, half man half horse, and another kinds of beast’s xD” labyriths god’s etc.. and some people would hate because of god of war..
    well sorry for only answering now but i was in a vacation with my family..
    and sorry about my English.. i hope u understand ahah

  • Haven’t you heard that Uncharted 3 might be on 3D or Playstation Move. Even though its not official, it has to fit into the story! Arne Meyer, one of the Naughty Dog officials, said that it has to fit into the story. To all of you Uncharted fans out there, “STORY COMES FIRST!”. I know all of you fans out there are hoping for Uncharted 3 to top Uncharted 2, especially spreading rumors about it coming out for 3D or Move. But the story has to come first, it always does. Trust me, Naughty Dog knows what they’re doing!

  • There are also rumors going on that Rika Raja, (Uncharted: Eye of Indra), will make a surprising role in Uncharted 3. If not, it could be Eddy Raja, because of his unknown status in, “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune”, all of the fans are suggesting that he lived or died. Its unlikely that he’ll show up in, “Unchated 3″, but its possible that Rika will be in Uncharted 3. In “Uncharted: Eye of Indra”, Nate says to Rika, “Its a small world Rika, I’m gonna find ya” just before she drives off with the amulet on the boat. If she show up in Uncharted 3, she’ll probably have her own pirate army, like her brother. Well, isn’t that great! When you guys played “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune”, and every time when take out a wave of pirates, another four waves of them comes and your sure likely to run out of ammo or get flanked and they kill you. Well, its back! Don’t I’m prettyy sure Naughty Dog will fix that.

  • I’m sorry, I mean “pretty”, back in the very last sentence.

  • well, i think 3D its not that good.. tecnology its not that good yet. maybe more 5 years for all games become 3D. but for now i think its IMPOSSIBLE for EVERYone to play it in 3D.. u need 3Dglasses above 100 euros/libras and a televesion 3D.
    :D i prefer playing it in my LCD HD with a good story and no 3D ^^

  • From my last quote, what do you guys want from Uncharted 3. I know all of ya’ll want it to be way better than “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves” and of course want it to destroy “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2″. But, do you want Nate to carry more than one pistol, do you want him to drive vehicles, that you can control, and have more and highly advanced weapons. If you have any better ideas, just go to Naughty Dog’s website and ask them requests that you want to be in Uncharted 3. Make sure you don’t ask them too much!

  • i would like better weapons and i would like to see drake in desert ;D
