Amy Hennig on Uncharted: Proud to Have Something Everyone Loved, Says It’s “Adventure Comfort Food”
- Thread starter Ankit Gaba

It's Indiana Jones in gaming format basically. It's fun and at times thrilling adventures in search of treasures. Whats not to like.

While I prefer Druckmann's approach to storytelling (I think TLOU and U4 are the best games of the studio), I think what Amy Henning did originally is fantastic and really underlooked. A lot of games have tried to have the same style and tone, and most failed the point by a lot.
As someone that loves travelling, I fucking love Uncharted. Also love watching Drake get all excited and go on a monologue when he discovers shit; I watched Lawrence of Arabia a few Christmases ago so I also felt super excited finding out that the journal he found in 3 belonged to TE Lawrence. The music is great too.
It's just a vibes series, I love it.

That video was so emotional for me.
I love Amy Hennig for creating my favorite gaming series of all time. <3

I don't think I'll get tired of Uncharted games any time soon.
Lost Legacy proved they don't need Nathan Drake. Gimme more.

Maybe there is a kernel of truth that nowadays games and movies are trying too hard to add minority character and political lessons when people just want to enjoy a fun lighthearted story adventure with attractive white protagonists in it.
Uncharted 2 is my favorite game of all time,it changed the way I saw games.
Sure,there are better games than it mechanically,graphically etc.. but no game has ever gave me this, I dunno,warm feeling like seeing a really good,fun and roller coaster type of movie before,it really was the first.
This game means a lot to me,and I keep coming back to it almost every year,it's just has this perfect blend of characters,story and pacing the 3 & 4,while I LOVED them,were kinda lacking here and there.
I always connect the Uncharted games to freedom,freedom to see the world and its beauties,freedom to go wherever I want and freedom to lvie the life you want to live,I know it's kinda cheesy but this is really what this games means for me.
Special game,special franchise and I would love to see more of it down the road.

I restarted uncharted 2 yesterday and I couldn't stop.
that game is simply amazing. The pacing is perfect. It's really incredible how well that story was told.

Are these joke posts?
"Adventure Comfort Food" is a great description. I've played all of them at least twice, great games to play again when there's a lull in games I'm interested in.
Can't disagree with that description. It's really like watching an Indiana Jones or maybe a superhero movie. Lots of fun action, exotic locations, you walk away satisfied enough, even if you hardly crave for another x hours of the same.
I agree. These games never get boring to play and it's always so much fun delving back into them
Might go and play U4 and get those collectible trophies

Don't think she's had any titles released since she lefgt ND. I think she moved to some film company to work in their games division last year so I wouldn't expect to hear anything for a few years.
Hopefully this thread about the video goes better than the last one where the OP got strangely argumentative.
The whole video is well worth watching. You see they all get along great and have their own in jokes. Like Richard McGonagle being a murderer.
After I watched it on Friday I ended up getting that Goonies reunion video recommended on YouTube too. Both helped to kill an hour.

It's comfort food until you play the games on Crushing (or Brutal in the ND Collection) then it gives you indigestion.
It's true and I wish she was still there at the studio and contributing.
I didn't care for uncharted 4 and I think alot of that was the tone that 2 and 3 carried. It was more subtle while still very accessable. I still mostly love Amy for her Kain work, she's a gift to the industry
No doctor in the game diagnose those people as diseased, though.
They're way, way worse than their main inspiration. Granted, I only played 1 and 2 but neither of them can reach or even get close to the quality of Indy movies and Fate of Atlantis. Drake and his friends feel like a bunch of annoying assholes, even if what they do isn't that far from what Indy and his friends do.
Yea,I've played lots of incredible games this gen......but playing Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy back to back was probably the most sheer enjoyment I've had....those games just put a smile on my face all the way through.
The first one especially is someone I play every couple of years. Really feels like a "gamey game" before ND got too concerned about the narrative side of video games and their games got more and more filled with cutscenes and forced walking sections.
I do enjoy all of their games but the original Uncharted is something special imo yet always gets bad mouthed lol.
