Award-winning developer Naughty Dog has pencilled a five o’clock shadow on rumours regarding some form of Uncharted Collection for the PlayStation 4. Acting coy at a The Last of Us Remastered press tour in London today, community strategist Arne Meyer said that it would be “really cool” to see protagonist Nathan Drake’s adventures upgraded on Sony’s next-gen machine, and pointed to the popularity of the platform as evidence of why it should happen.

“When we look at the PS4 generation, especially in the US – I don’t know what the general feeling was in Europe – there were a lot of people who are new to PlayStation platforms, and may have not played Uncharted [on the PlayStation 3],” he said. “It would be a good time for us to leverage all of the attention behind it and make it look better. It would be really cool to have.”

He added: “Since it's the first time that we're releasing a franchise across different platforms, it would be a good way to provide a way for our familiar players to go back and play the entire series with visual parity. I don't know if we're able to do that, but it's a really clever idea. It would be nice to see if we can figure that out and pull that off.” Considering that it’s just converted its other PS3 title to the console, we can’t see what could possibly get in the way.

In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if this was in production right now. Group president Andrew House said recently that the platform holder is looking to leverage its previous platform’s library in order to get PS4 adopters up to speed with its most popular properties, and with Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End right around the corner, it really doesn’t get much bigger than this. You probably won’t see this compilation until next summer, but we’re almost certain at this point that it’s happening.
