PS4 Uncharted 4 Nathan Drake Close-Up Revealed — What Do You Think?

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End lead game designer Kurt Margenau has shared a new image of what Uncharted hero Nathan Drake will look like in the upcoming game, due out in 2015 for PlayStation 4.

Margenau released the image on Twitter, with the caption: "Drake looking next-gen as f*ck…"

He snapped the shot at the Naughty Dog 30th anniversary art exhibit, which is currently on display at a the Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, California. The exhibit premiered on September 27 and runs through October 12. You can read more about it in this post.

It is unclear if the image of Drake you see above represents what he will look like in-game or only through cinematics.

A teaser trailer for the game released in June 2014 gave us a first look at how Naughty Dog had re-designed Drake for the new game. This image matches up with what we saw before, in that Drake's hair is now graying, he appears somewhat thinner, and his face is scruffy and slightly bruised.

Naughty Dog said previously that A Thief's End will tell a "more personal" story that delves into who Drake is a person. "It's his greatest adventure yet and will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he's willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves," Naughty Dog said in June about the game. The game also promises to be an "edge-of-your-seat" roller coaster ride.

Suarez Bite Results in FIFA 2015 Suspension

Barcelona forward Luis Suarez will not be playable in FIFA 15's career mode until October 26--a virtual suspension mirroring his real-world ban.

On June 26, Suarez was banned from "football activity" for four months after playing for Uruguay in the World Cup, where he was caught biting the Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder.

This marked the third time Suarez had bitten another person during a football match, and resulted in FIFA implementing one of the most severe bans in the organization's history (he is also suspended from nine international matches, which makes it highly unlikely that he will play a part in 2015 Copa America tournament).

Electronic Arts has elected to imitate this suspension in FIFA 15, by informing players who choose Barcelona in career mode that they cannot play Suarez straight away.

Those who select Barcelona in career mode are informed via a notice from the club's chief executive, which reads:

"Please be aware that Luis Suarez is serving a suspension and will not be available for selection until 26 October 2014."

Suarez, who in May won the Barclay's Premier League Player of the Season award, signed for Barcelona weeks after his ban, in a deal believed to be worth in the region of £75 million.

FIFA 15 shipped across North America and Europe last week, and accounted for 80 percent of all physical game sales in the UK for that week.
