A couple weeks ago I mentioned a game from Naughty Dog that was...well...let's say it was a foundation for a fledgling company with aspirations of making it big. They started getting big and well known with games like Crash Bandicoot, and Jak & Daxter. As many gamers will tell you, however, Naughty Dog became a household name and a powerhouse in the industry with the Uncharted series.
While this style of game already existed thanks to the Tomb Raider franchise, Uncharted looked fantastic, played fantastic, and gave us a character we all loved in Nathan Drake. In a way, Uncharted was the game we always wanted Tomb Raider to be like. We wanted a game to give us that real Indiana Jones feel. We got that feeling the second we put the disks in and heard this:
I present the newest entry into Awesome Video Game Music: "Nate's Theme" from the Uncharted series.
Above is a collection of the themes from all 3 games. You can hear the slight variations but they all give off the same feel of general badassery. You really felt like an Indiana Jones-type character as you barely escape death while trying to find the world's most precious treasures.
With every game series, everyone has their favorite (2 was best) but we all can agree that the series as a whole is very important to gaming. It gave us fantastic characters, gripping stories that even Hollywood can't pull off, showed how powerful the PS3 could be, put a company on the map, helped make Nolan North (voice of Nathan Drake and like a billion other characters) more well known, and helped define the "action/adventure" genre.
It will be very interesting to see what the plans are for the eventual "Uncharted 4" or whatever they end up calling it, but you damn well bet they will have some version of this song as its title.
Click "play" and enjoy, cause this music is awesome!
