Naughty Dog explains why Uncharted 4 was devs first PC release Naughty DogNaughty Dog released a PlayStation Blog post that explained why Uncharted\u2019s first foray on PC are two of the last games in the series. PlayStation has been seriously diving into the PC marketplace as of late, with ports like Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man, God of War 2018, and Horizon Zero Dawn. Now, Naughty Dog, which is arguably PlayStation\u2019s most prolific 1st party development team, has brought two of its games to PC for the first time with the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection. A recent blog post from Naughty Dog\u2019s Vice President went into detail on why the company decided to have Uncharted 4 \u2014 the last entry in the series \u2014 be the first available title for PC players. Naughty Dog talks Uncharted PC ports For those who may not know, the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection contains both Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy, two of the last games in the series timeline. Naughty Dog Vice President Christian Gyrling explained the developer\u2019s decision to have these two titles debut on PC was because the early Uncharted titles would have required too much work to \u201cstand-up to modern PC releases\u201d and player expectations. \u201cWe felt that, while Nathan Drake\u2019s first three adventures from the PlayStation 3 console still stand the test of time narratively, they would require a major overhaul visually to stand-up to modern PC releases and the expectations players may have.\u201d Gyrling claimed the Uncharted franchise is comprised of \u201cstandalone adventures\u201d that players who never experienced the series can jump into. This may sound strange to diehard Uncharted fans, as Uncharted 4: A Thief\u2019s End is essentially the culmination of Nathan Drake\u2019s journey over the course of three prior games \u2014 even wrapping up the hero\u2019s journey and passing the torch. While Gyrling admits \u201cthere\u2019s still incredible stories and character development in those first three games\u201d he said Naughty Dog felt that players could \u201ceasily dive into Uncharted 4: A Thief\u2019s End and pick up Nathan, Elena, and Sully\u2019s stories.\u201d Though the case could be made that Uncharted: The Lost Legacy could work as a decent entry point into the series, starting with Uncharted 4 is a much harder sell. Unfortunately for PC players wanting to start at the beginning, it seems Naughty Dog has no immediate plans to bring the earlier games to PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
