- Welcome to MojoPlays! Today, we’re looking at 10 times “Uncharted” got history wrong; does Nathan Drake really know what he’s talking about? We know these games aren’t meant to be taken too seriously, but they still have some glaring historical errors - which matters in a game about archaeology. Our list includes Francis Drake's Arabian Voyage from "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" (2011), the St. Dismas Cathedral from "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" (2016), Marco Polo's Journey from "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" (2009), and more! Did you catch these while you were playing? Let us know in the comments below.

Did you catch the part where this game is a supposed to be a fictional representation of events?¿
Playing Uncharted for the history is like playing Wolfenstein to study WW2, lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's like playing God of War to study Greek mythology
How can a fiction based story about fictional characters get anything wrong? These aren’t documentaries 🤦🏻♂️
my thinking exactly
Uncharted fans know the series is not based on actual historic events.
Nathan Drake "well, history can be wrong you know."
“Francis Drake never sailed to Arabia.”
Well, yeah. That’s the whole point of the game. I guess he forgot about the FICTIONAL part of this historical fiction video game…
I know, that was the entire reason for the game.
When did Uncharted get history right? That list I'd like to see.
Love this franchise so much, best in videogame history
Other things Uncharted got wrong:
- Casting Tom Holland as Nathan Drake
- Casting Mark Wahlberg as Sully and not Sam
Also it would have been nice if they stayed true to the games story wise insted of taking „the best parts“ and making a alternate thing. Nate and sully met when nate was like 15 years old, they could have made an original story that plays before drakes fortune and doesn’t contradict with the games.
Tom actually worked pretty closely with Nolan, even got his blessing if memory serves.
@@kensredemption imagine Nolan not aproving Holland. Obiously he would aprove, Nolan is a great guy but if you knew all the story you would know that Nolan said perfect casting would be Chris Pratt.
@@grenha8 oough, hadn‘t thought of chris but yeah, could have been better.
@@g57d Nolan have a RUclips channel and one time he mentioned that. And you have Nathan Fillion fan made short movie that looks amazing with higher budget it would be really amazing to watch in theaters
The best way I can argue this inaccuracies is as follows: Uncharted takes place in an alternate universe from our own.
That doesnt mean you cant learn from historical fiction
@@cakeassassin6277 Exactly. You can use historical fiction to get people interested in real history.
It's "Ubar". The "-bar" part is pronounced "bar", like a bar of soap or chocolate bar.
It's not supposed to be pronounced like "Uber", for fuck's sake.
Does anyone care they got history wrong, no, do I care either way, no, so what alright
Now that you ask.
A friend's uncle bought the game and was annoyed by it,
He gave part 4 to him for free and then we finished 2 times haha.
Uncharted was never supposed to be historically accurate, the history in it was suppose to be a jumping point for Amy Hennig in creating the games. For Drake’s Fortune, Sir Francis Drake was a privateer who brought back treasure to the Queen and was knighted (also applied for Drake’s Deception). In Among Thieves, Shambhala is a place in Chinese culture that is the physical embodiment of enlightenment, and for A Thief’s End, the Gunsway Heist actually happened with Avery, and all those pirates are real. I don’t know as much about Lost Legacy but those Hindu gods are actual gods in Hinduism
These aren’t so much as them getting history wrong as it is taking liberties with history for an intriguing story.
It's okay. Assassin's Creed has done history worse. In the end, it's all fun and games.
Ganj-i-Sawai could easily mistranslate to "Gunsway"
It doesn't help that your only clip of someone saying "Gunsway" is from a clueless character
I think the nazi zombies were the most realistic thing in the series *cough sarcasm *cough
In the end it's about the gameplay.
Climbing and fighting got smoother over the course of the series. Most of the puzzles are well thought out and the locations look nice.
The story itself is entertaining and has a few funny moments.
A few 😂?
What does this have to do with the video?
Wait..
You're telling me that El Dorado wasn't a golden coffin filled with an ancient curse that changed Spanish soldiers and Nazis into zombies that stayed "alive" for decades and even centuries?!!
No need to hate uncharted, they are all not real, still fun to play
This dude literally called ubar, uber
I love Uncharted because it's fun, not because its accurate but i'm still happy you made this video! Somewhere i read (probably from Defoe so not that reliable of a source) that according to Misson's memo, he did have a pirate colony north Madagascar called Libertalia, and Tew joined in later, but the natives turned against them so they sailed out. That was when Misson's ship sunk in a storm. I like to think of the Uncharted version of the story as " what if Tew survived the heist with Avery and years after Misson's death they re-built Libertalia"
At 8:03 - comedy gold listening to this guy take the time to remind us about fiction built into a video game to complete areas based on vague folklore or possible factual statements from the past. Enjoy the GAME people!
"history can be wrong you know."
“We know these games aren’t meant to be taken seriously” so then why was this video made?
Yeah cause uncharted is the gold standard when it comes to realistic games especially those purple guardians I come across those on a daily basis
Although it’ll be impossible to be accurate it would’ve been nice if they’d call at least the things that really exist right. But in the end it’s all fictional but therefore a fantastic fantasy game!
well just like Nathan Drake said, history can be wrong you know?
I ❤️ Uncharted video games franchise
despite everything, the series ever
10 times mojoplays makes a video on nothing
With the elaborate trap, bigger than gravity statues, zombies and drugs. You go criticize the fact that the ships name is in english.
I mean every city and place in the game is made up, from the u boat in the amazon to the giant lost cityes that no one could find on google view.
In the end its just a fictional story with historical figures they follow but given a fictional plot twist!!
Who the hell cares anyway it accurate or not, as long it a good game im all good
For Drake and marco May at least give good reasons on why they wouldn’t tell anyone for Marco he believed the treasure they God was cursed and I want to be surprised if Drake believed whatever The queen was after could’ve killed in England
Great video, good to see an original uncharted videos. I was always interested by the history. The narrator admits it's fiction but good still truth from reality.
Most of the list is from U4. The one Amy didn't direct, shows how much research she did and she references in a retro replay video about u3.
Good job
Speaking of the founders.....one of them is from a different video game franchise.....so yeah the games must totally be accurate
Hold on so drake finding elderado and Secret German bases and zombies was true?
It’s actually: 10 Times the Earth got the Uncharted History Wrong.
Still...Uncharted series has a lot of real life history event..so
those can cover these ones
What's next, 10 times Ghost of Tsushima got history wrong
Its not supposed to be accurate its a videogame sheeah
I play Mega Man to learn how to deal with blue balls.
Henry Avery is a real pirate!
Everything wrong with UNCHARTED
There is nothing wrong with uncharted
@@ryancharlton404 I still miss a co-op mode. other than that it's a nice game :)
You know what Fiction is right....
They said it in the beginning they know it’s fiction. But if you’re gonna use world history please get it right
@@Anni3sgotagun They know it is fiction. But does not stop them making money out of then making a video titled "10 Times Uncharted Got History Wrong"
comparing fiction to real life is fun
@@BigTiddyTheRapper yea and seems to be profitable. You do realize, tiddy means small right
Take control of own destiny
Love yourself first and most
Believe in yourself
Well Aaron dude .The Uncharted series as whole ia great ,and think the developers. were going a Indiana Jones thing on Drake and his crew of advertisers. And besides that every played to history in it ,has never been one hundred percent either. You just have look at Assassin's Creed the North America pack .Since Canada and America were more part each other .Since the French from Quebec. ruled all into the south ,in Cajun country .So they dumb down some the facts .
I don't think any of us played games for their accuracy of history. Otherwise, I would get a good grade for saying that Kratos is the Greek God of War... in other word, that video was made just because.
Thanks you for your video
O yea it was all based on truth, part where zombis are truth
Quitters never win and winners never quit
Ignore those who try to discourage you
Don't give up and never give in
Keep it up on your work and this channel
Thanks you for your channel
Hang on to your dreams
I ❤️ this video

The biggest time when Uncharted was confused up with historical facts was when it was stated that Uncharted was the series that revolutionised cinematic storytelling, voice acting and motion capture performances in gaming.
It wasn’t.
Games such as (you guessed it) Metal Gear Solid had already made waves in the 90’s back on the PSX for its cinematic in-game cutscenes and Hollywood quality level voice acting. The game even had playable cinematic action set pieces too- Uncharted is definitely NOT the first game that did this well. Not even the first PlayStation game to achieve this either!
What’s more, games on the PS2 were already utilising motion capture performances before Uncharted was ever a thing.
And don’t get me started on how The Last of Us is often sited (by kids) as the first game with emotional storytelling and complex characters 🙄😴😴
The same series on the PS2
age hasn't slowed you down one bit
@@BigTiddyTheRapper It has.
A lot of games involving real life history gets things wrong about history. For example, the Mario educational games. In the wiki pages of Mario's Time Machine and Mario Learns Typing, there is a whole section dedicated to things the game got wrong about history.
