10 Biggest Video Game Blunders Of 2016

3. Naughty Dog Lifts Concept Art From Ubisoft For Uncharted

It's not quite often that developer Naughty Dog makes a mistake in the video game world. They're quite regularly regarded as one of the best in the business, but in 2016, they made one fatal mistake - laziness.

At the beginning of the year, a new story trailer was released for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. And while it went past most of the world without notice, some watchful eyes over at Ubisoft saw something very familiar. Aymar Azaizia tweeted about the familiar looking painting on the wall in the Uncharted trailer, stating how the painting sure looked a lot like Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag concept art.

Even before Naughty Dog made a comment, which they did and I'll get to shortly, it's extremely obvious the image is in fact Assassin's Creed concept art, albeit with a pirate standing in the water, digitally removed. A big mistake from an even bigger company.

However, Naughty Dog would eventually comment on their mistake, stating they were so eager to get the trailer to the public they overlooked the painting.

Naughty Dog immediately removed the art and replaced it with some of their own. They didn't beat around the bush, and owned up very publicly, handling the situation with as much class as possible and apologising to Ubisoft.
