Uncharted 4 has now officially released to widespread critical acclaim and massive fanfare. It’s undoubtedly one of the biggest releases for Sony this year and on some people’s most anticipated games list. Naughty Dog can be proud in their accomplishments, but they also want to poke a little fun with their giant game.

Within the game there are two pretty clever trophies that display some self-awareness and cheeky self-deprecation. The first one is called Stage Fright and it tasks you to recreate that infamous E3 conference where the demo for the game started and the controller for the demo console stopped working .This caused Drake to stand motionless for a good while as people scrambled to fix the issue. The trophy requires you to stand still for 30 seconds at that exact spot in which the oopsie happened.

The second trophy is called Ludonarrative Dissonance, which requires you to kill 1000 enemies. This is an obvious poke at critics remarking that Drake killing hundreds of people to get to his often selfish goals doesn’t fit the tone of the game overall. Naughty Dog seem very much aware of this.

I love it when developers are humourous about their games and the issues/tropes within them. It almost makes the gaming industry seem human, bizarre as that is.
