We ended up putting the fix in and shipping Uncharted 3 with this critical bug fix just two days later." After an hour, the one tester that was running the 'broken' version of the game started seeing glitching, the other one did not. We all stood there watching them play, and lo and behold, the numbers started confirming the hypothesis. We had two of our QA staff play through the two versions of the game side-by-side. "If our hunch was right, we would be able to see that from the numbers printing on screen for the two versions. The second version was the 'fixed' version, and it also had debug text printing on the screen," Gyrling said. One was the current 'broken' version of the game but with some debug text printing on the screen. "Playing the game for a few hours on older PS3s would in almost all cases result in a broken game experience."īut Gyrling had an idea for what was causing the issue, and to test the hypothesis, the team created two versions of the game. I freaked out, and the next morning, I walked into office saying, 'We can't ship the game like this,'" Gyrling said. The glitches got worse and worse until enemies would be invisible, the ocean became blood red, and levels would be outright missing. After a few hours of playing, the game started having glitches. "I myself brought the game home and started playing the game from the beginning. The bugs and glitches-which in some cases turned the ocean blood red and completely zapped some levels-were serious enough for the studio to question whether or not it could release the game. Naughty Dog vice president Christian Gyrling revealed in the post that, just days before the studio planned to send the game to Sony for manufacturing, what turned out to be a very serious set of bugs were discovered in the testing process. The whole post is well worth a read, but there is one story that really stands out. To mark the occasion, the studio published a blog post featuring insights and behind-the-scenes stories from the team that worked on it.
Naughty Dog's Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception was released on November 1, 2011, meaning today is the game's 10th anniversary.
