Naughty Dogs sjefsdesignere Josh Scherr og Ricky Cambier hadde nylig en samtale med spillmagasinet Games™ om hvor mye lenger utviklerne hadde presset grensene for ansiktsanimasjoner og reaksjoner i deres kommende kapittel i Uncharted-serien. Ansiktene i Uncharted 4: A Thief's End skal angivelig bestå av over 500 ansiktsben som skal gi en så livaktig reaksjon som mulig under mellomsekvensene.
"We've completely revamped our facial animation systems. The previous Uncharted games, and in The Last Of Us, the characters all had about 90 to 100 bones in their faces which we used to move the meshes around. Think about that, about how detailed Joel and Ellie's pained facial expressions were, how well the game captured the respective actors - Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson - seminal roles. All that was achieved on the old tech. Now, the faces have anywhere between 300 and 500 bones."
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End ble nylig utsatt til våren 2016.
