The PlayStation Experience Event brought together the developers of Naughty Dog’s upcoming game, Uncharted 4, for a discussion about some of the games features and general game design. With Uncharted 4 predicted to be a massive blockbuster hit, fans were anxious for any information made available at all.

The developers revealed that by making use of the power in the PlayStation 4 they are able to give Nathan Drake, the game’s hero and protagonist, a total of 800 facial animations. This is in stark contrast with the PlayStation 3 games which currently only has 120 facial animations.

A bizarre boast that is without a doubt the first time I’ve ever heard of something so superfluous in a game is that Drakes chest hair is actually influenced by the wind. I’m honestly not sure if that’s a brilliant attention to detail or a waste of in game resources.

They also revealed that a “considerable amount of time” has passed since Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception, thus explaining Nathan and the “support cast” look noticeably older.

The PlayStation Experience is on its way, and the hype for the Sony exclusive event is growing and growing. Set to take place in Las Vegas, the event will play host to all manner of Sony related content, be it publisher and developer talks and exclusive hands on time with upcoming games.

In their newest teaser for the event, game developer David Jaffe makes an appearance. Covered in and eating…something, he sports a manic look and spouts gibberish at the camera. People took the undeniably weird teaser as a hint at his new game which they assumed to be horror orientated. Jaffe then took to Twitter to clarify that his next game isn’t in fact a horror title and that he would love to do one, though he would hate to go up against PT, also known as Silent Hills.

He said, “Those expecting a horror game from us (much as we’d love to make one 1 day) will be disappointed. Plus I’d hate 2 go against the amazing PT!”

What do you think of this then? What’s Jaffe up to?

Tickets went on sale October 24th and since then the event has been hyped up considerably with all manner of show events being detailed.

Earlier in the week, PlayStation figurehead Scott Rhode told us that the PlayStation Experience Event was “unprecedented” and that “This is an event for the fans”. Well as if to emphasize and reiterate upon that, Sony have released the PS4 – PlayStation Experience Trailer.
