Visceral’s ‘Star Wars’ game is going to be in style of ‘Uncharted.’ Bless The Force.
Well, I suppose this makes sense. According to the actor behind Nathan Drake, the collective talent that left Naughty Dog and the Uncharted series to make a Star Wars game will be making a game similar to Uncharted. Go figure. And I cannot fucking wait.

‘Uncharted’ movie loses its director, and is going in “new direction.” Oh.
BE MORE VAGUE, Sony. The fuck you doing with the Uncharted movie. Seems like the formula is pretty obvious. Mirror (to an extent) Indiana Jones, which is a pretty glaring inspiration in the first place.
‘Uncharted’ movie getting script from ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ and ‘Hurt Locker’ writer
I’m down for an Uncharted movie. Since it essentially is a video game that wants to be Indiana Jones. Movies influencing video games influencing movies. The cultural ouroboros that writhes just below our level of perception momentarily peeking its head out. So if it must happen — and I want it to happen — why not have the adaptation land a dope writer?
The ‘Uncharted’ flick will start shooting in early 2015
The Uncharted movie is one of those projects that’s talked about so fucking often, in so many contradictory ways, that I’ve sort of just tuned it out. So color me surprised to hear that the film will begin shooting in early 2015. ‘Cause frankly I had completely forgotten that it had even found a director.
‘UNCHARTED’ writer Amy Henning is now new ‘STAR WARS’ game’s creative director
I’m going to go ahead and say this now. Write it in digital stone. The next Star Wars game is going to rule. Drawing inspiration from the Batman: Arkham Games. Being spearheaded by Amy Hennig. This is fucking awesome.
‘UNCHARTED’ creative director AMY HENNIG leaves Naughty Dog. Perhaps pushed out. #BackroomDealings
The main brain-piece behind the Uncharted franchise has peaced the fuck out of Naughty Dog. Amid reports that the minds behind The Last of Us did some squeezing of her out, Sony has confirmed the departure today. I’m really hoping that this doesn’t impact the quality of the next Uncharted, but if she’s being squeezed out, it ain’t by fools of lesser capabilities. Maybe? #GamingBackRoomPolitics
Seth Gordon is directing the ‘UNCHARTED’ movie adaptation
Seth Gordon! I don’t really have an opinion on the guy either way. Saw Horrible Bosses. Shrugged. Saw The King of Kong. Loved it. So he’s batting 50/50 in the minuscule “Movies I’ve Seen By Seth Gordon” department. His next shot at blowing my nipples into a rugged mess? The Uncharted movie.
Monday Morning Commute: A CASCADE OF NONSENSE
Welcome to the Cascade of Nonsense. The white noise that keeps us complacent, ’cause otherwise we might be getting jittery. Someday you’ll die, someday we’ll exhaust this rotting Blue Marble, someday the sun will smirk before burning us up anyways. It’s all dumb and pointless and so we’re tasked with kicking it absurdity. Finding our own meaning, demanding our own purpose, but really probably just manufacturing our own cultural opiates to keep us numb to these nonsensical factoids of the world.
This is Monday Morning Commute. What composes your armature of pointlessness? How are you surviving this week? Hit me.
‘TOMB RAIDER’ TRAILER: Steal ‘UNCHARTED’, Steal ‘HUNGER GAMES’, Cross Fingers.
Tomb Raider is getting rebooted, and its makers are culling from burning pots of cultural gravitas. There ain’t much better a way of making Ms. Croft relevant again than by taking everything Uncharted and smashing it as hard as you can into Hunger Games. Over and over and over again, until you have some misshaped though potentially entertaining monster.
