This trailer was a treasure. During the event, the game showed off its real-time gameplay footage, and its Indiana Jones-style protagonist Nathan Drake. Drake is seen climbing around lush environments, while delivering one-liners to seemingly no one, according to The Verge. Then Drake comes face-to-face with looters, so he takes to sneaking, fighting and shooting to get out of the situation.
The game itself is rich in texture with landscapes and foliage. It is very realistic. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is created by Naughty Dog, and it is coming to PS4s in 2015, Polygon reported.

The well known voice-over actor in video gaming is Troy Baker, who can be heard at the end of the Uncharted 4 trailer voicing Drake's little brother, Gamerant.com reported.
Baker even tweeted his excitement and involvement. Baker wrote, "'Good to see you're alive, little brother.' Yes, that was me. Damn proud."
