In previous games, players could unlock the overweight model, whose voice is also a lot deeper than Drake's normally is. And the character was originally in series' final game, but Naughty Dog ultimately decided to pull the skin."I didn't want to have a laugh at someone's expense," Neil Druckmann, creative director at Naughty Dog, told GamesRadar . "I thought we'd matured beyond that."Internally, the team had a "big debate," approaching the subject from "all kinds of angles." After having "the whole thing modeled and in there," the developers at Naughty Dog decided they "weren't comfortable having it in [their] game."Uncharted 4 will release May 10 for PlayStation 4. Earlier this week, IGN spoke with Druckmann at an Uncharted 4: A Thief's End gameplay event , and said it was important for Drake to "leave his mark" on the game. Naughty Dog had a "'go big or go home' kind of mentality" when designing the game.
