Naughty Dog Reckons Drake Famous As Croft
In the world of video games there’s nothing that can make a company money quite like a recognizable, popular character. Nintendo has filled their stables with recognized icons and profited greatly because of it. Every studio hopes to get that famous money-printer who guarantees financial success.
Naughty Dog’s game director Bruce Straley reckons that Uncharted star Nathan Drake is on his rise to stardom, even saying that Drake “might already be there” when asked if the character could become more famous than Lara Croft. “I feel that Nathan Drake can stand on his own in any line up of the video game pantheon,” he said, going on to assert that the character was a ‘breath of fresh air’.
Quite a boast when you’re discussing a character who has only been featured in a single game so far. Uncharted was quite a success and it may be that people are feeling some sense of real-world nostalgia. Some of the popularity of the title could be that for once someone’s making a real world title that isn’t a World War II game. Regardless, it’s definitely to say if Drake is a video game icon.
