Naughty Dog s Undiscovered 3: Drake s Deception was released on November 1, 2011, implying today is the game s 10th anniversary. To note the event, the studio released an article featuring understandings and behind-the-scenes tales from the team that worked with it. The entire message is well worth a read, but there is one story that truly attracts attention.
Naughty Dog vice president Christian Gyrling exposed in the blog post that, simply days prior to the workshop prepared to send out the game to Sony for production, what became a really significant set of bugs were discovered in the testing process. The insects and also glitches-- which in some instances transformed the sea blood red and completely zapped some levels-- were significant enough for the studio to question whether or not it might release the game.
I myself brought the game house and also began playing the game initially. After a couple of hours of playing, the game started having glitches. The problems became worse and even worse till adversaries would be unnoticeable, the ocean came to be blood red, and also degrees would certainly be straight-out missing. I went nuts, and the next early morning, I walked into [Naughty Dog president Evan Wells ] office saying, We can t ship the game such as this, Gyrling stated. Playing the game for a couple of hours on older PS3s would certainly in almost all cases result in a broken game experience.
However Gyrling had a concept for what was triggering the issue, and also to test the hypothesis, the team created 2 versions of the game.
I made 2 versions of the game. One was the current broken version of the game yet with some debug message printing on the screen. The 2nd variation was the repaired version, as well as it also had debug text printing on the screen, Gyrling said. If our inkling was right, we would have the ability to see that from the numbers printing on screen for the two variations. We had 2 of our QA personnel play with the 2 variations of the game side-by-side. We all stood there enjoying them play, as well as lo and behold, the numbers started confirming the hypothesis. After an hour, the one tester that was running the broken variation of the game began seeing glitching, the various other one did not. We wound up placing the repair in as well as delivery Uncharted 3 with this crucial insect repair simply two days later.
It all functioned out ultimately, as Undiscovered 3 was an important as well as a commercial success. Right here at Naughty Dog, we scored the game a 9/10 in our Uncharted 3 evaluation.
Additionally in the interview, Wells claimed he wanted Naughty Dog had not introduced the Uncharted 3 release day so early. To stick to it, the team had to pull programmers off The Last people, and this was not excellent.
Revealing your ship day the day that you announce your game is not a fantastic idea! Wells claimed. Our disclose trailer included our release day and adhering to that was very difficult. We needed to draw a lot of the (already very restricted) sources from very early advancement on The Last people, and also it was still a difficult advancement process for us.
No new Undiscovered games have been announced, yet Uncharted 4 and The Lost Heritage are involving PlayStation 5 and also PC in 2022 through The Legacy of Burglars Collection. Beyond that, Naughty Dog has actually claimed Uncharted 5 might occur some day.
