Intro Uncharted 4 is arguably the most anticipated
PS4 game of 2016.
The new story trailer gives tons of hints about narrative elements in the game.
And damn it looks like it's going to be a wild ride.
So let's take a look 6 new things we learned in the Uncharted 4 Story Trailer.
Antagonists / Nadine Ross, Rafe Adler We're learning more about the bad guys and
girls of Uncharted 4.
The main villain is Rafe Adler who's trying to stop Nate and Sam from retrieving a legendary
pirate artifact at the mythical priate colony in Madagascar.
Of course the the greedy villains want the treasure for themselves.
What's interesting is that Rafe is calm
and controlling.
On the other hand Nadine Ross is much more aggressive.
She's holding up Nate at gunpoint and pressuring him for the artifact.
Her aggressive tendencies make sense because she's a mercenary for hire and the leader
for the South African mercenary outfit Shoreline.
It turns out she has had a previous encounter with Sully in the past, but we don't know
the whole story about that yet.
More Characters Despite all the characters revealed there's
still more we don't know about.
There's an older character shown in the trailer who looks surprisingly similar to Nate and
Sam.
There's also several well known voice actor's who have been confirmed for the game, but
we haven't seen their characters yet including Robin Atkin Downes.

Young Nate and Sam The story trailer also showed off a young
Sam and Nate which means we're getting even more backstory.
There's going to be a lot of explaining involved regarding how Sam disappeared for all these
years.
Environments The story trailer showed off some grand environments,
the type we would expect from Uncharted, but we haven't seen enough of until this trailer.
Both interiors of temples and caves, and also exteriors of valleys and mountains.
Naughty Dog used the term wide-linear to describe the openness of the levels and the set design
definitely shows that off.
There's also a few locations that look new.
One of the early shots of the trailer looks like the Manhattan Bridge from New York.
There's Madagascar which we saw in the E3 demo.
And then there's the big shot of the landscape in Africa.
There's even an underwater section althought it looks like Nate is deep underwater and
he isn't using any scuba gear or a wetsuit.
Vehicles Vehicles may have an even bigger role than
we think because the two brothers are taking the jeep everywhere.
Even into the water.
This jeep might get them killed.
There's also the motorcycle which we saw in the E3 trailer and a boat.
Hopefully we get a lot of control over these vehicles and it's not just for cutscenes.
Controversies No game is without controversies and the new
story trailer had a unique one.
There's a framed photo in the trailer that's actually concept art from Assassin's Creed
IV Black Flag.
The resemblence is uncanny and it turns out it was taken from Ubisoft.
Naughty Dog made an official statement and admitted the mistake.
In our eagerness to get the story trailer out we made a regrettable mistake and didn�t
thoroughly vet the art work used for an in game painting.We�ve already updated the
trailer.�We hold all artistry in high regard and take full responsibility for having allowed
this to happen.
We want to sincerely apologize to everyone at Ubisoft, the Assassin�s Creed team, the
original artist, and our fans.
Naughty Dog I'm still not 100% sure how this happened,
but this controversy was addressed faster than I've ever seen.
