Naughty Dog’s game directory Bruce Straley told CVG that he believes the Uncharted franchise is as popular or more popular than Tomb Raider.

“Why, do you think he’s not already there, if not beyond that point already, in terms of popularity?” said Straley.

“I feel that Nathan Drake can stand on his own in any line up of the video game pantheon.”

As many of our own writers expressed in the Lara Croft article from last week, many found Uncharted to be more fun than recent Tomb Raiders.
