The problem is that you can't have her daughter following in his footsteps, considering that Nathan is an orphan bastard who was "tamed" by his wife. You can't put a normal girl born in a normal home killing hundreds of people and treasure hunting. It doesnt make any sense, it´s beyond retarded.
That's why in Uncharted Chloe and Nadine are shady characters at best. In TLOU, they are survivors in a harsh world, so that justifies their actions. Cassie has zero reasons to become like her father, moreover when her parents would never have it.
That's precisely the problem with the modern age Lara Croft, her character conflicts her actions and breaks the suspension of disbelief. With Cassey, it would be much worse.
Technically speaking, OG Lara Croft had a super-rich upbringing and was taken care of by her parents through her teenage and even early adult years IIRC, but she took up hunting relics for the thrill & adventure of it. Eventually her parents cut off her access to their money, so then it became a profession. What I'm getting at is: OG Lara Croft didn't have a harsh life with a rough upbringing. Quite the opposite in fact. Yet, that character still worked wonderfully.
There's no reason that can't be repeated with Cassie. Give her a time jump, have her take up adventuring out of being aspirational and inspired by her father's adventures. She drops out of college and takes up an adventure beyond her skillset, and Nathan's got bad leg and/or some other job responsibilities so he doesn't hear about Cassie's adventure 'till a bit later. Maybe Cassie and Nathan have a falling out because of her wanting to follow in his footsteps but he (wisely) wishes for her not to, yet she won't listen.
So, she sets off, Nathan & Sam find out, and Sam decides he's gonna go after her just to make sure she's safe. Nathan's cold towards it, but still wants her to be well. Cassie ends up in a dangerous situation, so now she's gotta level up to survive and get through it safely, she has to learn a lot of skills to do so. Sam's on her trail and tries reaching Cassie, but has to deal with pursuers of his own. Nathan finds out about Cassie's situation and goes after her and Sam. From that point the player plays segments switching between the three characters, who have some unique skills among them and learn new skills/upgrade current skills throughout the game.
At some point Nathan catches up with Sam, and together they catch up with Cassie, saving her from certain death. They're on their way back home but something happens in the story separating Cassie from the others, and she has to use her skills up to that point to save them from some entrapment (I dunno, a pyramid enclosing walls on them or something and the solution is something like a puzzle Cassie has to solve), which proves to Nathan that maybe he can worry less about his daughter. Maybe even they decide to go on a little adventure together or something to that effect.
Not the best example, but there are definitely ways it could work.
I think Druckmann created the characters.
Can't think of a single Sony games like this. Examples?
He has none, because he hasn't played them. Certainly hasn't played UC4.
I mean what a jump in culture war logic to make to attribute that crap to Uncharted simply because one of the pictures is a girl. We're at a point where certain people assume any game with any major character who's a non-white straight male to be woke, and it takes a mountain of evidence to get them to ignore going forward. Not even to acknowledge they're wrong; simply to stop with that game and try finding another game to claim as woke.
Like, why the hell are you mentioning Veilguard or Saint's Row as if Uncharted's responsible for those trainwrecks, or somehow Uncharted 5 is retroactively responsible for games that couldn't have even used it as influence since they would have released years earlier? Blaming games yet to come out for the mistakes & sins of games that came before them, even if they're from totally different studios and franchises. It's utter stupidity.
Could Uncharted 4 turn out to be a woke mess? Yes, that is possible. Is it currently a woke mess? No one knows, since we don't know the story, we don't know the setup or anything to that effect. Some people need to wait for the details that matter to come out, before throwing around labels. Otherwise you just look like a lazy bigot.
And if you're a corporate shill on
top of that? Yeesh...
