18 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About The Uncharted Series

5. Uncharted 3 Pushed The PS3 To Its Limit

It’s obvious just by looking at them, that the Uncharted games are the most visually impressive titles on the Playstation 3, and still hold up to this day. With each new instalment, Naughty Dog made significant improvements over the last; taking full advantage of the superior processing power Sony’s console had over the competition.

In fact, Naughty Dog pushed the PS3 so hard when developing Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception that it overloaded the console’s memory, which caused the hard-drive to fragment, resulting in a completely broken and unplayable game about halfway through development.

This issue was discovered a few weeks before it was supposed to go gold, forcing Naughty Dog to scramble to resolve it as quickly as possible.

In the end, the game was finished just two days before submitting for production.
