Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Behind-the-Scenes Look

Naughty Dog has released a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming game Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Creative Director Shaun Escayg and Game Director Kurt Margenau discuss the origin of the story, the relationship between main characters and the villain as well as some new information about game mechanics.

Minor and major plot-points were discussed, such as the object of Chloe Frazer’s journey; the ‘Tusk of Ganesh’. The villain is Asav, described by Chloe as a Warmonger with no war to fight’. Escayg outlines the nature of Asav’s character as ‘he believes he owns rights to [the] land’. History seems important to the story as Asav is said to have ‘fought a war that has gone on for centuries’ but ‘recently he has started rekindling this war for profit’. Nadine Ross is confirmed to have prior contact with Asav.

Lock-picking is a new mechanic we see, from which players can find treasures and weapons. Ultimately, Margenau stressed their intention that ‘the player can decide what to do’, building upon the game’s commitment to ‘give the player more options’. Returning mechanics are confirmed to be rope climbing, driving, the winch and stealth options.

Perhaps the most interesting topic brought up was the ‘buddy system’ which sounds much more developed in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Escayg mentions that ‘if our characters in the story aren’t communicating well, or they’re upset, or they’re aggravated it will reflect in the gameplay… you will feel that tension’. The video ends with Nadine punching Chloe in the face; perhaps a demonstration of one of these instances.

We have not seen this kind of integration between narrative and gameplay in the past and it will be exciting to see if Naughty Dog can deliver another successful entry to the franchise to ‘carry on the Uncharted legacy’.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy comes out on August 22nd for PS4. Scott Lowe, Senior Communications Manager for Naughty Dog, added in the announcement blog post ‘we’ll have more exciting things to share in the days and weeks ahead’ and suggested to ‘keep your eyes peeled and be sure to follow Naughty Dog on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to see all the latest.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
