Uncharted: In Search of the Treasure of the Gaming Industry

The fate of the Uncharted game series resembles one of Nathan Drake's numerous adventures. It features incredible highs that take your breath away and grand failures that cast doubt on the future of the franchise. But in the end, Uncharted,... like its main character, always achieves success, as evidenced by its immense popularity among millions of gamers. It is very important that Uncharted is a series created by passionate and dedicated people, which is easily seen in the meticulously thought-out details of gameplay, storyline, and charismatic characters. This book will take you behind the scenes of the development of Uncharted, and you will learn: • Why did Naughty Dog's journey resemble a swim against the current in the ocean of the gaming industry? • How did Sony Interactive Entertainment initially categorically oppose the name Uncharted? • What inspired the character of Nathan Drake, and why does this hero resonate so much with gamers? “The Uncharted series rightfully deserves to be considered one of the main treasures of the gaming industry. And the story of its development, described in this book, turned out to be as exciting as the adventures of Nathan Drake—a young adventurer without fear, reproach, and conscience.” — Konstantin Podstreshny, “Navigator of the Gaming World”
