Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is shaping up to be quite a different experience than the previous games in the series, as it places players in the role of Chloe Frazer and includes environments even larger than those seen in

Uncharted 4, but one thing won’t be changing from past games — its length. In fact, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy could be even longer than Uncharted 3 and we will be able to find out for ourselves much sooner than you might think.

Speaking to the International Business Times, Naughty Dog’s director of communications Arne Mayer revealed that shorter single-player stories simply weren’t in the cards when the team began brainstorming ideas for a stand-alone spinoff game.

“There’s no way we could, sort of, constrict and restrain ourselves, and that’s exactly what was happening here. When we were doing story pitches, we were coming up with a game that would be over 10 hours long and so we suddenly realized everything we said was true and we couldn’t keep it short,” Mayer said.

A 10-hour duration would put The Lost Legacy, unsurprisingly, well behind Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, which takes roughly 15 hours to complete according to player-sourced player data at the site How Long To Beat. However, both Uncharted: Drake Fortune and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception can be completed in under 10 hours. This would be the first time we’ve seen a stand-alone spinoff expansion last longer than a “main” game, but we certainly aren’t complaining.

For comparison, The Last of Us: Left Behind, Naughty Dog’s stand-alone expansion for The Last of Us, can be completed in less than three hours. Of course, length is not everything — it’s a fantastic story that makes the most of its time and helps to give background for the events of the main game.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy arrives on August 22 to PlayStation 4. It will be available both as a digital download and a physical disc for $40, and anyone who pre-orders the physical game will receive a PlayStation 4 version of the original Jak and Daxter game. Those who pre-order the digital game will receive a special PlayStation 4 theme, instead.

PlayStation State of Play returns this week, will feature 14 PS5 games
Three colorful PS5s float together in a line.

PlayStation will kick off the summer of digital video game reveal streams this week with a State of Play broadcast. The stream will take place at 3 p.m. PT on Thursday, May 30.

State of Play is one of Sony's primary livestream presentation formats. It tends to be slightly shorter than the company's flagship stream, the PlayStation Showcase. This State of Play is a significant one, though, as Sony's slate of first-party games for 2024 is entirely unknown at this stage. This stream should shed some light on what's coming later this year.

I would buy a PlayStation Portal 2 if it had this one feature
A Pulse Elite, DualSense, and PlayStation Portal sit on a table.

I've had a bit of a love-hate relationship with the PlayStation Portal since it launched. Initially, I was disappointed by Sony's cloud streaming device. I was impressed with its screen and appreciated its DualSense integration, but its slimmeddown features made it feel like a cheap version of a good idea. I've since learned to find a use case for my PlayStation Portal that turned it into an integral part of my gaming setup. It's very imperfect, but that doesn't mean it's not useful.

Ever since its launch, I've been hoping for a refreshed follow-up, whether that be a Pro model or a true PlayStation Portal 2. It may be way too early to start discussing that considering that the Portal just launched in November 2023, but the promising device has enough glaring flaws that I'd welcome a fast-tracked successor. If Sony were to make a PlayStation Portal 2, though, there's one feature that's nonnegotiable: Bluetooth.

Part of the fun of The Sims 3 is being able to, well, simulate real life.

After all, you're just trying to give you Sim their best life ... or worst, depending on what mood you're in. However you decide to use all these Sims 3 cheats, we won't judge.
