Watch All Three 'Uncharted' Video Games Edited Into Movies
Nathan Drake, the star of the Uncharted games, is the video game Indiana Jones. He's charming, he's a bad-ass and he travels the world getting into ancient-themed adventures. In video game form, the Uncharted world was built to be cinematic and that's why Hollywood has been trying to make a live action movie for a long time.
Unfortunately, that has yet to take place. But now anyone who wants to see these games as movies can do just that. Reddit user morphinapg edited the cinematic cut scenes from the PlayStation 3 games Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception each into their own individual movies clocking in at about two hours, three hours and three hours plus respectively. That's an eight hour Uncharted trilogy that you can watch right now.
Thanks again to Reddit (via Kotaku) for the heads up on the films. Here's part of morphinapg's description of the project:
With these projects I was trying to make movies that would be viewable whether or not you had played the game, or even care about playing video games, so I wanted to make them as close to a real movie as possible. This meant taking out as many chapter titles, button prompts, and more to make it seem less like a video game. There were certain aspects I wasn't able to remove, such as the current weapon selected, or an occasional button prompt. I tried to focus mostly on the cinematics, but also include the minimum amount of gameplay to link them, especially focusing on the more cinematic elements of gameplay. I wanted to make sure not to cut any cutscenes or any gameplay that would leave the viewer confused if they hadn't played the game, so in the end Uncharted 2 and 3 were quite long, but that's just because the stories are much more complicated than Uncharted 1's.
Here's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune:

Pretty cool, huh?
