I don't blame people for dropping a video game adaptations. For Uncharted, you're adapting series known for its big budget visuals and insane set pieces, and it's hard to capture that "I can't believe that was playable" hook in a non-interactive live action medium. It feels inevitable that you'd make something inferior to the original. I'm not sure if the characters and stories are strong enough to carry a movie either. They were written to be the filler between the actual draws of the games. Set-pieces, art direction, and game design first, and script comes after to try and weave it all together. Movies don't work that way, trying to push that stuff to the foreground would probably just make it come off like a cheap 90s or 2000s TV show, or that Sahara movie. I don't think it's going to be worth anyone's time.
