Uncharted 3 - - G-Haven - 05-25-2014

EDIT:

Going to add newer images so I can submit something. Turns out even the wiki missed out of this stuff, so this is fairly fresh of a find.
-----
Apparently the people who worked on modeling the Pelican Inn Pub had hidden several things in the pub, mostly their names across the area;
           
The most notable names are Reuban Shah and Brian Beppu. Reuban is an Environment modeler and Brian is a Texture artist.


   
A larger plaque has more team members on it, including not just Reuban Shah and Brian Beppu, but also Charlotte Francis, Anthony ??VVAH [sic] (Who might actually be Anthony Vaccaro who is also an Environment Modeler), Paul Moya, David Witters and others who at the moment can't be figured out due to the current inability to see it clearly.


   
The bathroom also has a small name drop, with "Charlie Horsey", which is a bit of a moniker Brian Beppu used.

ND1 DOG, which likely means Naughty Dog, is found as a beer and also a sticker in the pub's restroom.


   
Also a Naughty Dog logo in the restroom.


   
Finally, a series of plaques with the Uncharted series titles (Uncharted, Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3), with the release dates on them (2007, 2009 and 2011.)

I can't make out the beginning of that last name either but I'm pretty sure those are Ms, not Vs.

Now that you mention it, it could be Anthony Newman.

Here's some extra things we don't know about Uncharted.



And this scene where Nate and Elena failed their kiss is because someone interrupted them, might be a reference to Jak and Keira's failed kiss moments.

NDI appears a lot throughout the Uncharted series, by the way. It's quite likely a play Naughty Dog.

I did manage to get a recording device, but sadly, it doesn't make the remaining names any clearer. I've also tried to contact Brian and Rubin about it, but that was months ago and they never replied. At this point, it seems like only a texture dump would actually spell it out.

That being said, I did find some graffiti in the restroom that also references the company and people.

"Charlie Horsey" is apparently Brian Beppu's moniker he uses, as that was his email when I tried to contact him.

I'm not sure what "Poly Contrast" means, but likely a test or something for lighting/textures.

There's also that Purple Crown right above the last urinal there. It pops up at least one more time in the same room, so I dunno if that means anything or is just generic assets.

"Logan Waz Here" might be nothing, but there is another "NDI" sticker there.

Darrell T? There is a Darrell Robinson, who was the Lead Animator. Who knows.
Another unknown graffiti behind Drake. "Epecee?"
Also, an unused condom in the toilet.

Naughty Dog logo.
