Trivia
Creative director Amy Hennig explained that the desire for a desert-themed Uncharted stemmed from wanting to push the team creatively and technologically, as "organic" elements such as sand, water, and fire are "technically difficult to credibly render with animation".

Goofs
The vista after climbing to the roof of the dingy pub in the prologue implies it's somewhere in Southwark. Rather than being a rundown neo-Dickensian slum, it's one of the most multicultural, and more importantly most expensive, areas in London. The chances of finding a dive like that, which openly breaks the smoking ban too, are slim. The abandoned section of the London Underground is a bit of a stretch too, since not only is the actual Tube network not that extensive south of the river, a lot of what's there is far more modern than as depicted (The Victoria and Jubilee line sections south of the river are both post-1950) and in extensive use. The closest part of the network to what is depicted would be the Aldwych branch, a complete section of tunnel closed in 1994, which is north of the river.

Quotes
Nathan Drake: [Nate is quoting from a book] "All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. This, I did".
Victor Sullivan: Uh-huh. That's all real pretty but, what the hell's it mean in English?
Nathan Drake: It means, be careful what you wish for. It might just get you.

An Adventure of a Life-time...

Out of all the video games ever released in gaming history, the Uncharted saga stands out as one of the best. Ever. Calling this series the "modern-day Indiana Jones" is pretty close to what is it, but in all respects, it's a mix of Indy and the Lord of the Rings. "How does LotR fit into the picture?", you might ask. Well, here's how: the scope and scale of the Uncharted games/stories is so massive, you are truly thrust into a whole new world (almost literally in the last 2 games). But in all respect for the games, there is not much i can offer but to say that these games are works of art. There are very, very few game sagas that truly deserve universal acclaim, or near-universal, and the Uncharted saga is one of them. Drake's Fortune was a spectacular, ground-breaking set piece for consoles, and then Among Thieves was released; a landmark and milestone of the gaming world. Drake's Deception is as good as Among Thieves, and completely awe-inspiring; an adventure epic.

P.S. To those staying on top of the movie adaptation news, please help try to find a way to get Sony to pick new writers because, The Wibberleys, really? They are one of the WORST choices to write the film for Drake's Fortune. I say either Jonathan Nolan & David S. Goyer, or William Monahan & John Logan
