While the first installment of the saga Uncharted It was a firm step towards the genre of adventures, it was not until the second part of Naughty Dog When the developer put all the meat on the grill with the spectacularity. The mythical sequence of the train by Nepal is iconic, in the same way that the persecution in SUV throughout Madagascar is legendary, but the truth is that Uncharted 3 deserves greater recognition in this regard.
The fire in the Château, the sinking of a cruise and the fight at the London bar have been recorded in the retina for any fan of the exclusive PlayStation. However, no other mission was so lived in the Yemen Rub al-Ijo Already a few hundred meters high. Of course, we are talking about the scene of the plane accident caused by Nathan Drake.
Again, Nate?
If the protagonist of the franchise is distinguished for something, it is because of his ease that everything around him goes to the reverey fuck but, in the same way, to be impregnated by a layer of fortune that no one can match. Esta fórmula creada por Naughty Dog daba pie a ser muy imaginativo en el estudio, aunque también obligaba a elevar el nivel de exigencia constantemente.
Uncharted 2 had left in 2009 and two years later the rod should point to the top. Kurt Margenau, video game designer, He reflected that vision that prevailed in the team to want to overcome themselves.
“It was a real effort to collaborate with animators, programmers, sound designers and all who wanted to contribute. She started with an improvised idea of 'What would happen if you could pursue a plane on the track and climb him?' And then in finding out how it could work and be playable '.
I was making small truck models on my desk to imagine how the player could climb these things while hanging from the back of the plane. Jeremy [Yates] I was doing a job with cables on the Mocap stage to capture the escalation in a load network that blew with the wind.
We had to implement some infinite displacement funds of the old school so that the desert could move infinitely below the plane (while the plane actually remained still. Shhh). We even had a totally playable sequence of zero gravity inside the plane that we cut into the last second“.
Margenau's last phrase speaks directly of the brutal ambition that was lived in Naughty Dog, but not including that section did not prevent them from shining with their own light. Although the section we refer to is what the plane is already in the air, it could well enter as a separate chapter the Nate attempt to sneak into its structure From Yemen airport. Elena Fisher appearing with a car in progress to jump to the landing train is impressive and gives rise to the true show.
That the party begins
El avión de carga está basado en el modelo ruso Antonov An-22 con motores turbohélice a ambos lados, pero poco importa porque va a terminar absolutamente destrozado. Su función es suministrar víveres y equipamiento al convoy que se dirige a Ubar, por lo que todo está dispuesto en la bodega para lanzar enorme cajas con paracaídas. Although Nate should have waited for that moment to happen, he takes the initiative to rise for the ship's ventilation duct.
Such imprudence allows one of Marlowe's minions to detect it, take it out of the narrow place and start strangling it. Para que se desencadene la catarata de estupideces, el soldado decide abrir la compuerta de carga para lanzar al protagonista por los aires, pero antes se produce una fuerte pelea entre ellos. Uncharted 3 has the best combat system in the sagaallowing to execute rapid counterattacks and present battle against enemies larger than normal. That is precisely what the title forces us, but the opponent is not completely eliminated.
In another play worthy of the Tons Looney, Nate has the brilliant idea of releasing the boxes to hit the agent and send him for a walk. He gets his goal, but he does not realize that he has caused all the material to start shooting outside and plays dodge it. Es fantástico como Naughty Dog crea la momentánea ilusión de que realmente se pueden esquivar todas las cajas, cuando en realidad estás destinado a terminar en el último tramo de un camión que está pendiendo de una cuerda hacia el avión.
That scene was so powerful 14 years ago that the developer used it in numerous promotional campaigns and I was fascinated for weeks, since I wondered How Drake would manage to get rid of such a situation. Un reclamo potentísimo que se resolvía con un héroe escalando poco a poco por las redes del equipaje hasta regresar al avión, pero eso no significaban necesariamente buenas noticias.
For some reason, everything begins to explode; The fire spreads as if the fuselage was made of paper and the lights begin to fail. The rest of the henchmen run through their lives, although always keeping in the spotlight to a Nate that must take refuge between packages that do not stop moving. We cannot advance too much or we will die from enemy fire, but staying in the same position also seems suicide. The tension is already in the clouds (never better) for those moments and Naughty Dog still holds it more until everything explodes.
A huge hole in the right side begins to produce an absorption of the entire interior of the plane and we have no choice but to try to slowly move away from there. In spite of this, there is no real escape because the suction is so strong that it is time to survive the vacuum, to nothing, while the remains of the plane are directed towards a little placid landing between the dunes. Despite Uncharted 3 He asks us to move Nate in the air to grab a lonely box, there is nothing that tells us that we have gone from a film to the gameplay, so many players died in the first attempt.
The transition is imperceptible and normal is to remain absolutely embobed before the Festival of Lights we are seeing. If you get Nate to grab the huge box, you still have to pull the release system to display the parachute and, now, contemplate from the heavens the impressive accident that you have caused in a handful of minutes. Being strict, they are just five minutes of action in which the pulse is accelerated to the maximum to achieve an unprecedented visual deployment to date.
A legend legacy
Uncharted 3 did not end at that point at that point And there was still the task of meeting with Sully, but nothing more could be compared to the plane crash. Naughty Dog included the plane in one of the multiplayer maps, at the beginning of the games, being able to jump from the trucks that circulate around him along the landing floor and just before taking off. However, the legacy of the mission went beyond the franchise itself.
Impossible mission: secret nation He started with Ethan Hunt climbing a plane that is about to take off in Minsk, Belarus and finishing off the beginning with the same idea of expelling the boxes through the cellar. The director Christopher Mcquarrie confessed that the inspiration came with the third installment of the saga and, despite the obvious changes we saw on the big screen, the adaptation with Tom Holland and Mark Whalberg fed from the same scene.
In this way, and through different formats and means, it is established that this Unexpected battle that Nathan Drake fought in the skies of Africa acquired the iconic status. The saga may have come to an end, but its legacy has remained in memory.
