Speaking with Digital Spy, Naughty Dog have expressed their interest in a possible Uncharted PS4 Remaster. It could potentially be a way of reaching new audiences, explains community strategist Arne Meyer:
“When we look at the PS4 generation, especially in the US – I don’t know what the general feeling was in Europe – there were a lot of people who are new to PlayStation platforms, and may have not played Uncharted,“
Meyer goes on to discuss how Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide studio boss; Shuhei Yoshida, has a keen interest in the Uncharted series, and how an Uncharted collection of sorts would be a good thing for the PS4:
“It would be a good time for us to leverage all the attention behind it and make it look better. It would be really cool to have. Shuhei really likes the Uncharted series quite a bit, and I think it would be a great way to introduce – I wouldn’t say a new generation – but to expand the people that are bound to know Uncharted.“
He then speaks of how improved visuals would be a good way to encourage players to replay the games through a different graphical lense:
“Since it’s the first time that we’re releasing a franchise across different platforms, it would be a good way to provide a way for our familiar players to go back and play the entire series with visual parity.”
“I don’t know if we’re able to do that, but it’s a really clever idea. It would be nice to see if we can figure that out and pull that off.“
The chances of this happening at the moment are quite slim considering Naughty Dog are busy working on the next chapter in the series; Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. However, The Last of Us: Remastered is an example of how it can be done.
