Uncharted: Drake's Fortune[1][2], formerly known by the internal name of Big, is a PlayStation 3 exclusive game originally announced at E3 2006 and currently in development by Naughty Dog.

The Drake's Fortune subtitle may be a reference to the abandoned treasure of Sir Francis Drake or to the name of the main character, Nathan Drake.[citation needed]

[edit] E3 Trailer

From the trailer[3], it can be seen that the game will be set in a jungle, is a lot more realistic and violent than Naughty Dog's last two outings (Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter ), and has a lead character who resembles Naughty Dog's former studio president, Jason Rubin.

As for the game's location, it is rumored to take place in the Bermuda Triangle as the islands featured in the map-like background towards the end of the trailer are shaped much like the islands located in and around the oft-claimed paranormal location.

[edit] Technical Information

Naughty Dog's main priority with their new title is on animation and camera design[4], and in an effort to provide cinematic views during gameplay the in-game camera will be heavily scripted by the camera designer from Ubisoft's Prince of Persia.

Featuring extremely realistic and fluid character animations and reactions to different actions performed, Naughty Dog's Uncharted has garnered the praise of several media outlets.[5][6][7]
