(THIS BLOG ENTRY MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS, PLAY THE GAME FIRST IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED)
So when I was browsing on Twitter. I found out that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End contains one of the best Easter eggs in PlayStation history. And no it is not Jak & Daxter.
It's a scene where Nate uses a PlayStation to play on other than. CRASH BANDICOOT!!!
Crash Bandicoot was first released on PlayStation 20 years ago when Naughty Dog developed the game for Universal Interactive Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment to sell as a PlayStation exclusive title to compete against Nintendo and Sega. Naughty Dog felt they wanted to pay a homage tribute to the Bandicoot by including a scene where Nate felt confident to try and beat Elena's high score on some ''TV game thing'', alas being Crash Bandicoot on a original PlayStation and Nate doesn't even know how to play Crash. Despite calling him a fox.
The level in which the mini-game is based off from the level ''Boulder Dash'' where Crash had to run down the course without being crushed by a boulder, collecting wumpa fruit and smashing crates along the way. You can even play this as a mini-game.
In comparison. here's the original gameplay of the same level.
So there you go, A Naughty Dog developed game in an Naughty Dog developed game. Now if only Activision would seriously sell the IP to Sony because we would love to see a new Crash Bandicoot game in the near future. Is PlayStation really teasing us?
