I think they would be better served with putting out The Last of Us, The Last of Us 2, and a Jak 4 first. Then maybe go back to Uncharted Universe but have Nathan or Elena be a character you meet. I think the perfect way to have the old characters would be to meet Elena when she is 70. Sully passed away long ago, Nathan died a few years ago (maybe you were at his funeral), but now you [the player] have come to see Elena with a puzzle. I really don't think playing as Sully, Nathan, or Elena makes any sense in a new game. Their story is over, their story ended as happily as it could, so why ruin that. A new story in the universe should happen with a nephew or better yet a niece who goes on their own adventure and maybe used one of Nathan's journals on a adventure he didn't go on. Most his life, Nathan Drake, wanted/needed to be like Francis Drake; but he found peace for the second half of his life and maybe just became a teacher or writer. Yet wouldn't it be cool if HE becomes the inspiration for the next journey? The basic game play or a UC game is still valid and great, but I think dipping in with the same characters is cheap. A new UC game should come about in four or five years, but it should have a new player character to 're-fresh' the concept with a new story.

The thing is, it was never ''their'' story, it was Nate's through and through. Both Elena and Sully were supporting characters whose motivations were to primarily (and sometimes reluctantly) help Nate in all of his crazy schemes and adventures. There's nothing wrong with that of course, and Elena did at least have her own motivations in Uncharted 1 & 2 considering her documentary film making, but they were both by and large there to serve Nate's goals across the games.

In fact that's part of why I was disappointed with Uncharted 3's story, because it actually began to highlight how selfish Nate was for constantly dragging his friends through Hell, and when Sully got shot, for as much as I love Sully, I was really glad because it finally added some consequences to Nate's stubborn recklessness. Oh, but then it turned out it was all a hallucination/dream and they still manage to beat the bad guys and everybody's happy The End.

That's why I'd want a game devoted to Sully, because I really enjoy his character and I'd like to see him actually do something for himself. I'd want to see his early life, see him for the sleazy, morally-grey criminal that he was. Give the man an extra dimension!

Ala Farcry?

I'd say no the best thing about uncharted is the amazing set pieces in my opinion. I just don't think they'd happen as well in an open world game.

I'd be ok with a 4th.

Something like that?

Thinking on it now, perhaps you could have a game set in South America, chasing a treasure across the continent in different open-world environments with different ruins and temples to explore. Action set-pieces could take place in temples or when travelling from one major location to the next. I guess ultimately there's a lot of potential for what you could do with the series, making an open-world type game may not be the answer. Ultimately, I'd just like to see a different kind of Uncharted game. I've played 4 Uncharted games that all had somewhat similar structures, if we saw another entry into the series I'd be a lot more interested if it were something new.

(That said, I'd still likely enjoy another well-crafted game in the series even if it doesn't do much to the formula anyway, just maybe not as much)

Edit: Another idea: MetroidCharted! Drake discovers a long lost temple and you spend the entire game exploring, fighting and puzzle-solving your way through the huge temple. :P

I think they should make a new Jak game... but that'll never happen

I love all the Uncharted game a lot but I don't need another one. They did everything they could with both the gameplay and the characters.

Sully is a interesting character, but so much of what we know about him is about him not being a leader let alone a leading man. I think they would need a MUCH bigger break for the old series. People like yourself already have in your minds what Sully was like as a you g man, so not meeting those expectations is just a barrier. A new character is a blank slate, that sort of freedom from expectations is important for making a new game. The last thing Naughty Dog needs is people saying, "Well, that not how I SAW Sully being as a young man" or "No, that doesn't seem like what Sully would have been in my mind." Sully is more of a problem to use than helpful, baggage is not what is needed.

What? I'm sorry but your logic makes no sense. You're saying that there shouldn't be a Sully prequel because of the possibility that it doesn't align with what people are expecting? Given that this is all completely theoretical at this point, there's just as much chance that there would be awesome prequel story centred around Sully than one that somehow defiles how I envision the character or whatever. With your train of thought there should never have been a MGS3 because Big Boss may not have matched the expectations of those who longed for a Big Boss prequel. In fact under that mindset there should forever only be new games with new characters, because each time there'll always be the possibility that they don't match what some people may have expected when their favourite characters are brought back for a sequel or explored in a prequel.

Now I'm not against the idea that the next Uncharted follows a young admirer/relative of Drake or anything, but I would ideally prefer to see a story focussed on Sully's earlier years.

No, the series has grown tired and boring.

If Naughty Dog makes it, I'll be there in a heartbeat. Uncharted 1 was pretty good and 2 and 3 were incredible games. But I thought 3 wrapped it up and provided a satisfying conclusion to Nate's adventuring. I'd be okay if they pulled him out for "one more adventure", but it'd be interesting to see it headed by another protagonist - either a young Sully, or the next in the Drake line or something in the future. That would be cool.

Oh christ no. The series was mostly garbage.

D no more Uncharted games.

I hate Drake and I feel dirty when I think back, that I played 1-3 AND Golden Abyss *taking a shower* it doesn't go away!!!!!!!! ;_;

Yes. But they should wait with making it as long as the possibly can.

They were supposed to keep the trend going by releasing an Uncharted kart racing game and THEN moving onto a new IP for a trilogy.

Not yet. Give it at least another two years please.

Naughty dog should make something new, give uncharted to another developer. Saying that though uncharted 2 and 3 are my favourite games of this generation. No idea why, just absolutely loved them and I play a lot of games, wonder if naughty dog could do the same again with a new IP

As much as I absolutely love the Uncharted series, I do think it should be left alone now, or at least left alone for a while. It's always great to see new games or ideas from developers, and I'm looking forward to The Last of Us from Naughty Dog.

Can i get A & B. They have a B team so i could see them working on uncharted 4 and they will also have something else release at PS4 launch.

Aren't they doing Last of us, it seems like they're moving on from the uncharted series for a while. I think it'd be odd if they did another Uncharted after the last of us. As for what I'd like, Uncharted has spawned a lot of imitators, and brought game design to the next little tick, so same with Portal, it needs to just be game history, there isn't much more you can do with it.

The series has run its course. Not much more they could add to it at this point.

Sorry, to thread necro, but didn't want to make a new thread.

Looking at what people think is Uncharted 4 concept art snuck into the Last of Us making of video, it shows characters in older style dress, seemingly Age of Sail outfits.

I think they could make "Uncharted: Drake's Voyage."

Step back in time to Sir Francis Drake's time, as he's going through one last voyage, or just another crazy voyage. Then, half-way through that game, time steps forward to Nathan Drake, stumbling on another of Drake's Legends. The plot jumps back and forward between Nathan and Francis Drake as they uncover a big mystery, Nathan is reading the journal that Francis is writing.

Use a more dynamic cover system like 8 days, or Last of Us. The Francis Drake segments use more of The Last of Us's gameplay where there's limited ammo for his older firearms. But, both timelines have areas that are much larger, with more freeform exploration segments instead of all the climbing being just linear.

The story focuses this time purely on Nate and Elena's relationship, since we never got to see it. I suspect the reason why Elena wasn't in 2 and 3 that much was that the actress Emily Rose has a busy schedule with her show, Haven (which also had guest appearances from Nolan North and Claudia Black).

Not unless they can bring something new to the Table. Uncharted 3 felt like an imitation of Uncharted 2, with a worse storyline (I'm aware that Uncharted 2's story wasn't exactly "great") and worse shooting mechanics. I was honestly not impressed. Uncharted 3 wasn't a bad game, but it did not live up to its predecessor.

If they create another Uncharted game, I think they need to do away with Drake and re-make the traversal and climbing mechanics. Drake was a pretty fun character, so were Sully and Elena, but they're done. They're action-movie archetypes - there's no "deeper" aspect to them. And that's fine, characters don't need to be "deep" to be enjoyable, but without depth they get boring quite quickly.

I think another Uncharted game is not a bad idea, but since Naughty Dog is split into two teams now, I'm more interested in the team that isn't working on Drake's next adventure.

It smells like Indy 4, so no. 3 had a good "ending". I'd rather they develop something new for PS4.

Really, I'd only say yes for the reason that they didn't answer all the questions that were asked in Uncharted 3, the one that sticks with me most is Nathan Drake not being his real name, and details about his past that Marlow dug up. They bring it up when Drake gets drugged and nothing ever comes with it. To many loose ends that I just really want answers to.

No, the series wasn't that great to begin with, and The Last of Us was even worse. If anything, they should take a break and not make interactive movies.

Yes . Uncharted 4 for the PS4 , and a Sully spinoff game for the Vita !

All I know is that if there's another Uncharted, they better not pull the death fake out again. They've done it four times now, at least once in each game. Freakin' just kill somebody already. Also, they need to learn how to pace a game. The Last of Us has just as many pacing problems as the Uncharted games, which is severely bumming me out as I'm trying to play it. Everything section lasts about half an hour longer than it should.

Another Uncharted game would feel much like a Bioshock 2. Gameplay, scenery and plot-wise there would be very few places Naughty Dog could go without repeating themselves.
