VG247 apologizes to Naughty Dog

By Courtney Tuchman / October 15, 2015

VG247.com issued an apology to Naughty Dog, the developer behind the Uncharted series. The website published an article on September 30 under the title, "Is Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End too formulaic?" This opinion was based off the staff's playthrough during the Tokyo Game Show. Unfortunately for VG247, they had actually been playing a remastered Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, straight out of the Uncharted Collection. VG247 instantly took the article down once it was informed by Sony about the mistake.
