Uncharted Devs: We're Not Afraid to Kill Off Characters

[Sniper Team 4]

See, they've already blown it by admitting they have no problem with killing people off. By saying that, fans will now be expecting it--even disappointed if it DOESN'T happen. Only two games have ever handled death well. And by well, I mean shocking, tragic, and a real sense of loss. Something that made me go, "No. Not him/her. That's...that's not fair."
Anyone who's played the Brothers is Arms series knows that there are several deaths throughout the series. The death of two characters is particularly hard to take.
The other is Aeris. I know it's cliche and most people disagree, but when that first happened, it floored everyone.
Halo: Reach gets an honorable mention for Kat's death--literally came out of nowhere, wasn't expecting it like the others--but since we know they were doomed from the start, it doesn't qualify.

If they kill off any of the main three (Drake, Sully, or Elena), I'm quitting the series.

itll be too late by then. after 3 they just gonna make the racing one then move onto sony's next console. some other dev will make cheap versions from then on

I see what you did there.

OT: It seems like they're setting it up to kill off sully. Just my guess.

Somehow I doubt this.

If they were that serious about killing off one of the main characters why...

Spoiler

...didn't Elena die at the end of Uncharted 2? I mean, she caught the full brunt of an exploding grenade and was hemorrhaging all over the place. She was at the point of dying, but then she miraculously survived anyway.

Not that I mind too much, Uncharted has always been about lighthearted pulp action adventure. I mean, it's not like Sallah or Marcus Brody were ever in any real threat of actually dying in Indiana Jones, right?

To be honest, I'm surprised Sully wasn't killed off sooner seeing how characters like him usually die, provoking a nice predictable vengeance spree by main character. I hope to God that isn't the case here cause that would mean story writers finally hit rock bottom in series that was never original in the first place. And besides I like experienced father figures with fabulous moustache. Oh boy, that came out wrong XD

I have to say, I am LOVING the fact that "Game of Thrones" is becoming synonymous with "Kill off the main characters"

I refer to it as "Getting George Martined."

 

[Zeema]

i hope it isn't Sully i still love his line

Sully: Jezz im sweating more then a hooker in church
Drake: you brought a hooker to church?

 

[standokan]

Pooh, I'm sure that it won't be the old guy because mentor/father types rarely die and that would be really unpredictable.

Are you serious? Jak III, Star Wars, Escaflowne, etc. C'mon.

I was being sarcastic, emphasizing how obvious they are going to kill off the old guy with the mustache.

This time round the emphasis is on Victor Sullivan and his mentor/protégé relationship with Drake."
