The level of hype in my brain for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is somewhere between “why isn’t it already May 10th?” and “I should probably buy a 4K TV to enjoy this game properly.” That’s why it’s good to know that between now and the game’s arrival, Naughty Dog plans on releasing a handful of videos to not only tide us over, but give us better insight as to how they were able to bring such an ambitious game to life. They include:

• The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: The Evolution of a Franchise
• The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: Growing up with Drake
• The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: Pushing Technical Boundaries Part 1
• The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: Pushing Technical Boundaries Part 2
• The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: In the End

The trouble for me personally is, I’m a bit of a spoiler freak in that I like to enjoy games and movies in a vacuum, knowing as little about the plot as possible. Arne Meyer, Director of Communications, Naughty Dog writes:

 If you want to avoid all spoilers, definitely try to stay away from just about anything we release about the game – but we’re very conscious of maintaining a great experience for all our players, so we keep that in mind with all releases. The game is really ambitious, so even then we’ve only started scratching the surface. 

According to Sony:

 Get a behind the scenes look at how Naughty Dog and the Uncharted series have evolved since Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, including the influence of The Last of Us on the team and their development process. 

If you’re not too worried about spoilers, prepare to be treated with The Making of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End: The Evolution of a Franchise video after the jump.
