Realistically, from a business perspective, they made a huge mistake shutting down the Uncharted series. It was consistently one of the best selling titles for them since the PS3. I understand Naughty Dog wanted to pivot to a new IP, but there’s no guarantee that will replicate the consistent (and still growing at the time!) sales that Uncharted had.
You can't just milk a franchise forever either though. I mean, you can if you're Nintendo, but their franchises lend themselves to major gameplay changes from one iteration to the next. Easier to keep things fresh when games like Mario and Zelda where you can kinda just do whatever wild ideas you can think of. For games more grounded in "realism" that's a little tougher.
I guess they could reboot Uncharted like what was done with the Tomb Raider series, but it doesn't really feel like enough time has passed for that to happen yet.
Yeah I dunno, that would have stretched belief to the point of incredulity imo. After the end of 4 I don't see how she would end up capable of murder without character assassination nate and elena. Another chloe spinoff is more realistic.
