ND talks about the fire in Uncharted 3

In an interview published on the PlayStation Blog, Arne Meyer at Naughty Dog has mentioned the novelty of the new Uncharted, and the great work done by developers on the fire. "We are always looking for new technical challenges and we are very happy with what we are doing with our fire effects. It is not just a static element: fire in a realistic way the wood deteriorates and there are flashes of return, as we would expect.

The smoke, this time, it looks much better, "says Meyer. Speaking of the sequence in the movie that plays at the end of the article, Meyer points out that: "If you're still for too long, you could sit and watch you burn around the castle ... but we want the player to progress through the game at a pace acceptable, so this will not happen.

"Fire with procedural generation is a rather difficult technical challenge, especially in all the rest of the material to be included in the game but also create fantastic effects, such as the corners of the wallpaper starting to roll and then catch fire or embers that sparkle in the air.

Essentially, we program the oxygen and then we let him follow in the fire. "3 Uncharted: Drake's Deception will be available on PlayStation 3 from November 4.
