Benson Russell har været en af de centrale designere på to Uncharted-titler, og han sidder stadig hos Naughty Dog i dag. Men han er ikke helt sikker på at det første spil i serien, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, bør få et remake, som rygter ellers peger på.
I et interview med FRVR siger Russell, at der allerede findes restaurerede versioner af spillet, og at et remake ville kræve en redefinering af hvad spillet er, og som jo så ville besejre selve ånden bag spillet projektet.
"Uncharted as a thing is still in the zeitgeist. System Shock ... a remake of that now makes a lot of sense, because not just can you play it, but it had horrible key bindings, it kept a lot of people out of it from wanting to play it. There's already a version [of Drake's Fortune] you can play on modern consoles [to] get the experience. What's the point of remastering [or remaking] it?"
"I just don't see the point of remaking [it]. You'd have to rewrite the whole story to make it better, which means you're going to change the spirit and you're going to change the scenes and what the first one was about, right? You're going to have to add all these scenes or take things away and a lot of the key set pieces — are you going to keep those? Are you going to have to redo them because they don't fit your story? It doesn't make any sense [to remake it]. I honestly thought the same thing about The Last of Us Part 1 ... these are old games for a reason."
Er du enig?
