<p>This year will mark the fourth time Nathan Drake&#8217;s been pulling death-defying stunts on a Playstation console and after a year of teases, <em>Uncharted 4: A Thief&#8217;s End</em> is becoming more and more tangible of a game as we speak. Developer Naughty Dog has graced us once again with some rather detailed screens of Drake&#8217;s latest exploits and, by all accounts, Drake&#8217;s certainly not in for any vacation.</p>
<p>As it was revealed in GameInformer&#8217;s February issue,<em> Uncharted 4</em> provides us with yet another island locale for Drake&#8217;s travels. The unnamed island in question appears to be the one featured in both the game&#8217;s <a href="https://bagogames.com/meet-drakes-uncharted-4-thiefs-end/">recent Playstation Experience demo</a> and E3 &#8217;14 showing, but in still frame, it&#8217;s apparent how large of a jungle Drake&#8217;s dived into.</p>
<figure id="attachment_71017" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71017" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Uncharted-4-GI-Screen-1-BagoGames.jpg"><img class="wp-image-71017 size-full" src="https://bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Uncharted-4-GI-Screen-1-BagoGames.jpg" alt="Uncharted 4 GI Screen 1 BagoGames" width="800" height="465" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-71017" class="wp-caption-text">Drake gazing wistfully at a foreboding horizon</figcaption></figure>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Like we first saw <a href="https://bagogames.com/drake-returns-uncharted-4-2015/">last E3</a>, Drake&#8217;s left on another god-forsaken jungle and the man appears to be just a bit perplexed as always what to make of it in the screen above. There&#8217;s a waterfall to his left as the doctor ordered and a roaring sea to his right just like, well, an island.</p>
<p>The entire scene&#8217;s arguably darker than what we&#8217;ve seen yet in the series and we&#8217;re not quite sure why Drake&#8217;s wandering around the unnamed island in question. We assume it&#8217;s about nothing good, or else Drake will just wake up on the couch with an ice-cream bowl in his lap.</p>
<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Uncharted-4-GI-Screen-3-BagoGames.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-71016 size-full" src="https://bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Uncharted-4-GI-Screen-3-BagoGames.jpg" alt="Uncharted 4 GI Screen 3 BagoGames" width="800" height="465" /></a></p>
<p>The second screen lightens the mood a bit, showing off what&#8217;s likely the beautiful results of only a Playstation 4 hard-drive can do. The graphics shine to a crisp with a certain focus on lighting, complete with Drake jumping over a large gap willy nilly like he does.</p>
<p>The particular scenario above appears to be what we&#8217;ve already seen from the said PSX demo, but it doesn&#8217;t hurt appreciating the graphics in their still form. Notice the <em>Lion King</em>-sized rock in the distance. Yes, Drake&#8217;s likely not going to know the meaning of the Circle of Life anytime soon&#8230;right?</p>
<figure id="attachment_71019" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71019" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Uncharted-4-GI-Screen-2-BagoGames.jpg"><img class="wp-image-71019 size-full" src="https://bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Uncharted-4-GI-Screen-2-BagoGames.jpg" alt="Uncharted 4 GI Screen 2 BagoGames" width="800" height="465" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-71019" class="wp-caption-text">Sam (left) and Nathan Drake (right) are reunited.</figcaption></figure>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Lastly, we have our third screen dedicated to <a href="https://bagogames.com/meet-drakes-uncharted-4-thiefs-end/">the Drakes of our game</a>, namely Nate and Sam. Both are voiced by none other than Nolan North and Troy Baker, respectively – the latter filling in for actor Todd Stashwick, with a fine shirt to boot. The two are likely considering their sweaty t-shirt contest behind the guise of their brotherly interplay, or so I like to think.</p>
<p>What brings them together or drives them apart is something we&#8217;ll have to wait to see, but it likely has something to do with either treasure or women. It&#8217;s always one or the other in video games, isn&#8217;t it? We&#8217;ll find out when <em>Uncharted 4: A Thief&#8217;s End</em> hits shelves later this year only on the Playstation 4.</p>
