Tim Schafer ‘Mystified’ By Uncharted Awesomeness

On the official Double Fine blog (or at least what passes as “official” in the minds of those people), legendary game designer Tim Schafer ponders what makes Uncharted so darn good.

The answer, he concludes, is simple: Nathan Drake’s half-tuck.

I just finished Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, and I will tell you this: I liked it a lot. It had beautiful environments, fun platforming, and the awesome phrase, “I’ll kick you to sleep!” You should all go play it right now. It was all super next-gen, but the most next-gen thing about it to me was Drake’s shirt. Check it out: Somehow it’s tucked in, and yet not tucked in, at the very same time. Of all the technical marvels contained in Uncharted, this was the one that really mystified me.

We hope someone at Naughty Dog can demystify this whole thing for Tim and maybe he’ll be able to include this revolutionary design achievement in his own upcoming titles.
