Moving to YMMV


* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: This game takes place partly in Syria and Yemen, which are both portrayed as (relatively) peaceful countries without a hint of civil war, firmly placing this game in a setting predating UsefulNotes/TheArabSpring (which actually began almost a full year before the game came out, but nothing was modified during development to reflect this). Could also double as HarsherInHindsight, given the explosive gun battles in those locations that Drake participates in.

Downes has played villains in ''Uncharted'' games [[VideoGame/UnchartedDrakesFortune before]] ([[VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd and after]]) ''Drake's Deception'', but those villains are Latin American (the Peruvian Atoq Navarro and the Panamanian Hector Alcazar, respectively), whereas Talbot is English, just like Downes himself.

* DevelopmentGag: The shirt that Young Nathan wears is the same one he wore in the original announcement trailer for [[VideoGame/UnchartedDrakesFortune the first game]], before it was changed. He also wears this shirt in ''Eye of Indra''. ''VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd'' implies it's the faded hand-me down of his older brother, Sam.

* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/NolanNorth mentioned in an interview that during parts of the motion capture for ''Drake's Deception'', he was suffering from broken ribs. While clearly not done intentionally, it meant the pain and anguish on Nate's face is actually ''real''.

* ActorAllusion: In "The Chateau" chapter, Sully tells Nate that the building "doesn't look old enough to be a Crusader castle. Looks more like Renaissance to me." At the game's time of release in 2011, who were [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Desmond Miles']] two known ancestors?

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** [[EnsembleDarkhorse Charlie Cutter]] was supposed to be in the entire game, but his actor unfortunately had [[Film/TheHobbit other commitments]], and so was written out early.
** A minor example. Early trailers showed a different, deeper sound for the AK-47, which didn't make it into the finished product.
* YouLookFamiliar: Creator/GrahamMcTavish previously voiced Lazarevic, the BigBad of ''Among Thieves'', [[spoiler:which helps to mask the fact that he's a good guy as Cutter in ''Drake's Deception'']].
