"May 10 was Uncharted 4: A Thief's End 's 10-year anniversary. The PlayStation 4 sequel effectively caps off the saga of Nathan Drake, even as rumors of some kind of fifth game continue floating around . Less tidy was Uncharted 4 's development, which entailed pretty significant changes after creative director Amy Hennig left Naughty Dog in 2014."
"We've known bits and pieces about the original vision for Uncharted 4 for many years, but YouTuber Thekempy has now posted a feature-length video compiling all sorts of files, behind-the-scenes videos, and early development footage that gives us our best look yet at what might have been, and there's some really fascinating stuff in it."
"some of the highlights include a mostly chronological retelling of how Uncharted 4 's story differed from the Neil Druckmann-led version we got in 2016, reveals that characters like Victor "Sully" Sullivan and 17th-century pirate Henry Avery would have been playable at certain points, and several minutes of motion capture footage from this initial draft featuring actors Alan Tudyk, Todd Stashwick, and Graham McTavish, none of whom appear in the final game."
"Uncharted 4 's development was notoriously troubled , and it's interesting to look back at some of the game's earliest promotional material and recognize that it was significantly different in tone, such as the original announcement teaser that featured Stashwick as the character who would eventually become Sam Drake, a role that would later be taken on by Troy Baker."
May 10 marked the 10-year anniversary of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, which serves as a capstone for Nathan Drake’s saga while rumors of a fifth game continue. Development was troubled and included significant changes after creative director Amy Hennig left Naughty Dog in 2014. Early materials compiled from files, behind-the-scenes footage, and development clips show how the story differed from the 2016 version led by Neil Druckmann. The earlier vision included playable moments for characters such as Victor “Sully” Sullivan and 17th-century pirate Henry Avery. Motion capture footage from an initial draft featured actors Alan Tudyk, Todd Stashwick, and Graham McTavish, who do not appear in the final game. Promotional tone also shifted, including an announcement teaser where Stashwick was tied to the role later played by Troy Baker as Sam Drake. Naughty Dog is currently working on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, with vague hints about a possible third game and uncertainty about returning to Nathan Drake.
