And the character was originally in series' final game, but Naughty Dog ultimately decided to pull the skin. "I didn't want to have a laugh at someone's expense," Neil Druckmann, creative director at Naughty Dog, told GamesRadar. "I thought we'd matured beyond that." Internally, the team had a "big debate," approaching the subject from "all kinds of angles." After having "the whole thing modeled and in there," the developers at Naughty Dog decided they "weren't comfortable having it in [their] game."[/quote] [url=http://uk.ign.com/articles/2016/04/05/donut-drake-removed-from-uncharted-4]Source[/url] Remember kids, no fun allowed.
IIRC he wasn't in Uncharted 3 either. edit: wait nvm I'm fucking blind and didn't see the video in the OP. Looks like they added him for the PS4 remaster.
[quote]"I didn't want to have a laugh at someone's expense," Neil Druckmann, creative director at Naughty Dog, told GamesRadar. "I thought we'd matured beyond that."[/quote] My cousin is an obese Nathan Drake and he was always deeply offended by this.
Fuck you Naughty Dog, Doughnut Drake was the best unlock
oh no the developers are adults and decided to act like it how dare they though including a Big Head cheat wouldn't hurt
This blatantly pulling a "look at us, we're on the not offending people train! Aren't we clever and wacky!?" If it had been some company removing big head mode from re-release of an old game citing "to not offend", it would have actually been funny rather than " look! us too!".
[QUOTE=Levithan;50077134]oh no the developers are adults and decided to act like it how dare they though including a Big Head cheat wouldn't hurt[/QUOTE] offensive to nathan drakes with hydrocephalus, cant do that
[QUOTE=Levithan;50077134]oh no the developers are adults and decided to act like it how dare they[/QUOTE] You have to be joking. No come on you [B]have[/B] to be.
As a fat man I have to say removing Doughnut Drake is the worst thing I've seen in Uncharted 4, and the only bad thing. Doughnut Drake is hilarious and the main reason I replayed the games.
[QUOTE=Levithan;50077134]oh no the developers are adults and decided to act like it how dare they though including a Big Head cheat wouldn't hurt[/QUOTE] Heads are cliche. How about big feet? Enourmous extremities? Ludicrous limbs mode? Doughnut Drake was the dumbest thing ever to look at, so goofy that all it really needed was that one trombone tune to go with his walking and it'd be perfect.
Wow fuck them. They just told every BBM out there they can't be a globetrotting explorer
[QUOTE=pointyface;50077167]Wow fuck them. They just told every BBM out there they can't be a globetrotting explorer[/QUOTE] At least we still have Saint's Row 2, where the large can be in charge.
[QUOTE=Levithan;50077134]oh no the developers are adults and decided to act like it how dare they[/QUOTE] video games are serious business
and the game'll probably be fine without it
[QUOTE=Levithan;50077134]oh no the developers are adults and decided to act like it how dare they though including a Big Head cheat wouldn't hurt[/QUOTE] Removing content because you don't have a spine and can't bear taking responsibility for your own artistic creation isn't acting like an adult, it's the complete opposite.
[QUOTE=Levithan;50077134]oh no the developers are adults and decided to act like it how dare they though including a Big Head cheat wouldn't hurt[/QUOTE] yes, jokes are stupid and for children I'm glad they've grown up and thrown out all that useless "humor" rubbish so they can be serious, important adults
Is it just me, or is there seeming to be a rapidly-growing trend with this tip-toeing around "offensive" bullshit with games?
[QUOTE=Levithan;50077134]oh no the developers are adults and decided to act like it how dare they [/QUOTE] Fuck them, not offending people over something like this is stupid. Hell people who get offended make no sense as if you're offended over something you most likely hate yourself for that reason.
[QUOTE=Robman8908;50077210]Is it just me, or is there seeming to be a rapidly-growing trend with this tip-toeing around "offensive" bullshit with games?[/QUOTE] Yeah and there's also a very worrying trend of people rolling over and accepting it because it's "fine without it".
[QUOTE=Hogie bear;50077157]You have to be joking. No come on you [B]have[/B] to be.[/QUOTE] believe it or not, Levithan is in fact a real person. Doughnut Drake is the greatest thing to ever exist, and I'm disappointed that Naughty Dog is following the trend of removing small things from your game because a vocal minority, who aren't going to buy your game anyway, would be upset about it, under the guise of "w-we never really wanted it there!! we were gonna remove it anyway!!!" Come to think of it, did anyone complain about Doughnut Drake? Was there any outrage about it? Who was offended? fuck off that said, I love every uncharted game and despite them removing THE BEST FUCKING PLAYER MODEL I'm gonna buy this and enjoy it anyway. Still bullshit tho
Obviously this franchise about male model man mowing down hoards of goons and with magic legs stronger than every basketball player known to man is too [I]grown up and mature[/I] for such [I]low brow humor[/I]
[QUOTE=pointyface;50077167]Wow fuck them. They just told every BBM out there they can't be a globetrotting explorer[/QUOTE] Not really because Doughnut Drake was pretty obviously a gag and a joke and wasn't a genuine attempt of including a serious overweight player model option.
A guy shooting other guys is offensive because it promotes violence. Better remove that before it offends someone. Better stop Nathan from going into ancient civilizations raiding ruins and shit because that's disgraceful to the cultures he's disrespecting. God forbid if someone makes a video game with a little bit of fun or has an extra unlockable skin that's totally optional be tongue in cheek. I really wish we'd stop with this constant worry of offending people.

Doesn't donut Drake need you to be like level 99 or some shit and have a dickload of money from playing multiplayer? Did that change in the remaster?
[QUOTE=Duck M.;50077267]Not really because Doughnut Drake was pretty obviously a gag and a joke and wasn't a genuine attempt of including a serious overweight player model option.[/QUOTE] a morbidly obese person doing the things that Nathan Drake does is absurd and by extension, funny That's just the fact of the matter. There's no way to make it respectable because it is inherently ridiculous. You can't make a morbidly obese person jumping out of planes and leaping across rooftops not funny.
[QUOTE=Duck M.;50077267]Not really because Doughnut Drake was pretty obviously a gag and a joke and wasn't a genuine attempt of including a serious overweight player model option.[/QUOTE] There is no joke other than him being fat, and that isn't really a joke unless you make it one in your head. All the mode is is him.... but fat. You take it as an (offensive, apparently) joke because you think that the concept of a fat person moving like that is ridiculous. Because it is. Because obese people cannot do things that drake does.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;50077229]Yeah and there's also a very worrying trend of people rolling over and accepting it because it's "fine without it".[/QUOTE] i'm sorry i don't care about optional unlockable skins in a singleplayer game now if the devs redesigned drake to always be doughnut drake for the sake of 'breaking barriers' with a fat character (heh) and went on like nothing happened, then there'd be a problem
[QUOTE=Levithan;50077134]oh no the developers are adults and decided to act like it how dare they though including a Big Head cheat wouldn't hurt[/QUOTE] Way to punch down on people with Hydrocephalus you ableist shitlord.

Dont get the wrong idea I think that removing it probably wasn't justified because it wasnt really anything people complained about, I'm just pointed out the flawed logic in the post I originally replied to.
