Question 1

True or false: The 'Uncharted' series was heavily inspired by the 'Tomb Raider' franchise from its inception.

Question 2

True or false: Nathan Drake's iconic grappling hook was a core gameplay mechanic from the very first game.

Question 3

True or false: The voice actor for Nathan Drake also played a main character in 'The Last of Us' video game.

Accepted Answer

True. Nolan North voiced Nathan Drake and also played David in 'The Last of Us', a surprising dual role for such iconic characters.

Question 4

Question 5

True or false: Naughty Dog included a fully playable 'Crash Bandicoot' level inside 'Uncharted 4'.

True. In 'Uncharted 4', players can find and play the original 'Crash Bandicoot' level, a hidden Easter egg celebrating Naughty Dog's history.

Question 6

True or false: 'Uncharted 4' was originally conceived as a prequel set in a high school.

Accepted Answer

True. Early development of 'Uncharted 4' considered a high school setting for a younger Nathan Drake, but it was scrapped for the final treasure hunt.

Question 7

True or false: Elena Fisher was originally designed as a supporting character with no romantic subplot.

Accepted Answer

True. Early drafts had Elena as just a journalist ally; the romantic tension with Nathan was added later during development to deepen the story.

Question 8
