Uncharted 4’s Ending Could Be Divisive

Uncharted 4 is set to be released in the coming months and it seems the ending could be divisive or controversial to fans. The final code of the game has been finished and Neil Druckmann, the Creative Director of Naughty Dog, has stated the ending will have fans talking. Speaking to IGN at an Uncharted 4 gameplay event, Druckmann said “I think people will discuss the ending. If focus tests are anything to go by, there will be some arguments about the ending. I’m excited. Indifference would be the worst thing. I would rather have people hate it than be indifferent to it. We’ll see how they react.”

Long as they don't kill off Elena I'm fine. I know Neil has wanted to do that before.

nucky643693d ago

really? the last of a 4 game series with nate as the lead and your big concern is keeping elena alive? I'm MUCH more interested in nathans fate.

-Foxtrot3693d ago

Yeah because it would feel cliché and typical

She's already nearly died

Sully was thought to have died twice

Nathan dying would again be obvious

BlakHavoc3693d ago (Edited 3693d ago )

I think killing off Drake will be too obvious so they'll go a different route, however I think the ultimate price of his selfishness would be to kill someone close to him, imo that means Elena or Sully. Curious to see what ND decides to do with the story.

Gazondaily3693d ago (Edited 3693d ago )

They are going to kill off Nathan in a heroic way (obviously). But you won't actually see him die. You'll see some rubble and crap supposedly crush him and then...fin...an apparent heroic sacrifice to save Elena, his brother or Wiz Khalifa.

-potential avenues for a revival of the series and then potentially in UC6- BOOM- RKO outta nowhere, Nathan Drake appears, set to replace the new protagonist that no one likes; lets call him Raiden Locke.

(Bookmark this for future reference- although I believe we'll be too busy with our hover-boards to care then)

-Foxtrot3693d ago

I would hate if they try to continue Uncharted without Nate.

Even his son or something would be stupid.

He's been on so many adventures, small ones anyway between Uncharted to Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 2 to Uncharted 3 so they could do more.

Then there is the Sully prequel idea.

jchaplin23693d ago

Druckmann has stated that the way the game ends it will be very difficult to make a follow up game starring Drake. I wonder what that means.

-Foxtrot3693d ago (Edited 3693d ago )

Wonder if he gets paralysed or something.

An adventure, who loves the adrenaline of going out into the most dangerous places in the world taking risks is confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of his life.

Quite sad in my opinion.

jchaplin23693d ago

Could be, the ending is said to be divisive and start arguments. Interestingly even though it's Drake's last game they haven't ruled out an Uncharted 5.

It may be sad, but I think the franchise should go out on top. Too many franchises hang around way too long these days.

BlakHavoc3693d ago (Edited 3693d ago )

@jchaplin2
Well ND themselves have stated they're done with UC, but considering it's a PS IP Sony could decide to pass it off to another studio for UC5. I hope not honestly, just let the game die at the end of 4, I'm thinking they'll do something as well that makes it hard to make another installment period.

Gazondaily3693d ago

"Wonder if he gets paralysed or something. "

Flipping eck Fox...talk about being dark. This is Uncharted not Manhunt lol.

If it was up to you, Nathan would contract HIV and then start using heroine.

Uncharted under Foxtrot's command: Uncharted 4: Requiem for a Dream 2

Morgue3693d ago (Edited 3693d ago )

3 things could happen.

1. His brother dies
2. Sully dies
3. Elena say's she's pregnant or dies

All of these could be reasons IF Drake lives that it's not worth it anymore.

EDIT.

While chasing your dreams or searching for the truth or who you are is great but in the end is it really what you want? Sometimes the truth hurts and could be a real gut punch so people tend to ignore it although they want too know. A majority of people I believe couldn't handle it.

Take for instance what's going on in the world today. It's all lies. What you see on the television, it's nothing but fakery and propaganda. Sports is fixed. Not everyone may be in on it but the game is rigged, everything is rigged. You imagine the disappointment in people if that ever came to light?

The truth is dangerous and maybe this is what Drake may uncover. There is so much programming in games it's crazy, like in Uncharted 2 and Shambala. Your average gamer thinks it's a great story crafted by ND. Yeah it is but it's actually a true mythical city that people in Tibet believe in. It's insane what goes on as far as predictive programming and sublimal messages.

jchaplin23693d ago

I'm not sure Elena being pregnant would be that divisive, but otherwise I agree with you.

Morgue3693d ago (Edited 3693d ago )

@ jchaplin2

All guesses are as good as mine but it will be interesting too see how ND ends this series.

EDIT.

I don't think it's going to be evryone riding off into the sunset and celebrating. It's gonna be a little dark at times and a heavy hitting action game.

MasterCornholio3693d ago

Nathan gets an arrow to the knee.

Jokes aside I believe he will suffer some type of injury that will stop him from adventuring again.

TwoForce3693d ago

I think so. But Here my guess, i maybe can't remember the movie name if you guys know the name of it but i remember the scene. This movie is very old. So let get start. I bet is that everyone will die expect Nathan Drake. Similar to Jackie Chan movie, the scene where Jackie lost everyone and he ended up as a loner. So it might going to be similar to Uncharted 4. But I don't know, that just my guess really.

Maybe he'll finally take that shot in the back that is able to penetrate his auto healing capabilities..

Rimeskeem3693d ago

Auto healing abilities?

Why don't those work when I fail a cliff jump!

GamerSciz3693d ago

What's interesting is in the latest TV spot you see Nathan trying to "save" Sam and he then falls. Where to or how far and does he live we don't know. But the scene that follows finishes with the gold coin flip. The thing I noticed is the place where he is sitting, the place on fire, looks like it might be the same place where he couldn't hold on to Sam. Perhaps his brother dies and he finally gives it up for good but it's too late and Elena divorces him or something. All speculation for now obviously but I don't see myself disliking the ending.

slack3r3693d ago

I'd kind of like to see Uncharted end here rather than have it carry on the way some series have (Resident Evil for example). It's better to go out on top.

However, in the age of reboots, re-imaginings etc I think it's tough to rule out a sequel.
