\"uncharted <\/p>\n

Platform:<\/b> PlayStation 3
Publisher:<\/b> Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer:<\/b> Naughty Dog
Release:<\/b>

After tackling Metroid in season 1<\/a> and then Halo in season 2<\/a>, Game Informer<\/em>‘s Video Gameography podcast turns its gaze to one of Sony’s biggest properties: Uncharted. Now, halfway through the series, we reach one of the more divisive entries: Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Developed by Naughty Dog, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception was a big release for Sony’s PlayStation 3 console on\u00a0November 1, 2011. After the success of Uncharted 2 and it’s blockbuster setpieces, Naughty Dog upped the stakes and pushed to include even more spectacular action moments.\u00a0Unfortunately, that put a toll on development. In this episode, we talk about Uncharted 3’s renewed focus on melee combat, how Last of Us’ development impacted the team, and why Uncharted 3 almost shipped with a game-breaking bug.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Join hosts Ben Reeves (@BenjaminReeves<\/a>), Marcus Stewart (@MarcusStewart7<\/a>), and co-founder and the CEO of Kinda Funny <\/em>Greg Miller\u00a0(@GameOverGreggy<\/a>) as we unpack the history and impact of Nathan Drake’s third outing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
