"One we didn’t do [that] I remember discussing for Uncharted 2 was Thor's hammer," he said. "What would that mean to do Thor's Hammer? We would actually do concept art and we got pretty deep down that road."
Of course, it wasn't meant to be and instead we got a spectacular game about the Cintamani Stone. Uncharted 4, meanwhile, is about the hunt for Captain Henry Avery's lost treasure.
The Uncharted 4: A Thief's End release date has been confirmed as May 10, after which Naughty Dog will continue to work on the project for its multiplayer and single-player DLC. For lots more on the game you can check out GameSpot's recently published hands-on preview, "How The Last of Us Made Uncharted 4 a Better Game."
