Naughty Dog told why they decided not to release the first three parts of Uncharted on PC. The reason was outdated visual and technical aspects

In honor of the release of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PC, Naughy Dog studio in its blog decided to tell why it released Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy at once, but missed the first 3 games about the adventures of Nathan Drake.

Here's What We Know

The studio said that the first three parts would have to be seriously redesigned for computers.

"Now, you may be wondering why we didn’t start with the original UNCHARTED. We felt that, while Nathan Drake’s first three adventures from the PlayStation 3 console still stand the test of time narratively, they would require a major overhaul visually to stand-up to modern PC releases and the expectations players may have"

Naughy Dog noted that each part of Uncharted is a separate adventure and it is not necessary to play all parts to get a unique experience.

"The UNCHARTED franchise comprises standalone adventures that players new and old can jump into, and so while there’s still incredible stories and character development in those first three games, we felt players could easily dive into UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End story. And UNCHARTED: The Lost Legacy, which is also included in the collection, offers a new playable protagonist in Chloe Frazer. Fans who know the original trilogy will be delighted to see her return, but newcomers will have no trouble understanding her wonderful story"

Naughy Dog also said that the debut of the Uncharted series on PC is amazing. This is a chance for developers to learn the lessons learned when promoting their games on a new platform. This was helped by Iron Galaxy, who were engaged in the transfer of the game to computers. Now the creators of Uncharted can look into the future of Naughty Dog games on PC with even more enthusiasm than ever.
