 I remember lems saying Drake couldn't be bad-a because he was a pretty boy. I remember cows calling Sam Fisher emo because he grew some facial hair. Nathan Drake, pretty boy or emo?

Wasn't Drake the likeable, funny, down to earthy guy? I mean, he wasn't a buff hero, he wasn't a hardass, he wasn't the silent/load/arrogant cool type, he wasn't the dude that looks like a chick, he sure as hell wasn't emo, he wasn't the sword-wielding gun touting badass, etc.

Actually, the whole point of DRAKE was to be a non-stereotype.

He's just a regular Joe, and that's what the appeal was. We always see BIG, HUSKING BUFF, MUSCLY MEN in movies, usually bald, with Deep voices. 

If you compare Drake to GeoW, then he's EMO, but in reality, he is just a typical guy.

Go look in the mirror, are YOU EMO?

Judging from Naughtydogs previous games, it seems to be a high-res ingame model.

I like Nathan, regardless. Seems like the average Joe of video games... only he's a pretty boy. But hey, he isnt afraid to crack some heads and get dirty, so he cant be too pretty, right? Cant wait for Uncharted 2, the original is one of my favorites of this gen.

Drake is far away from being emo. He's the most awesome new character this gen imo. The new look is badass. I'm just saying, I remember people called Sam Fisher emo. Why? because he has facial hair. Drake has some facial hair now, why isn't he considered emo by the cows that called Sam emo?

That's what's impressive, Naughty Dog doesn't do CG, that's all in game stuff.

I don't get it, what does having facial hair have to do with being emo?

By your standards, I'm a pretty boy.

What did you want Naughty Dog to do, give Drake an EyePatch, a Bionic Leg, and a Beard? Can't someone look normal in a game, or have we gamers just become used to seeing squshy alien's, bone eating zombies, and crazy buff guys?

Have we gamers as a whole become reverse desensitized?

Sorry folks, what is emo? Does it have something to do with dating his own gender? I think he's just a game character.

I was taking up for him man. I was being sarcastic about people calling him a pretty boy despite him rolling around the jungle with a gun, punching people in the face while jumping ledge to ledge. He's just a guy, an average Joe. If people want to call him a pretty boy they can, but I dont really see it that way.

I know, my post was more for others that judge Drake by his great looks.

I have 5 Drake Posters in my bedroom, and one in the bathroom where I shower. When I put my eyeliner on, I always see my Crow and Drake posters on the ceiling, and it reminds me he's just a normal guy.

From my uderstanding:

1. probably has something to do with cutting oneself and hating the world or

2. a character that is very emotional driven.

Drake is the laid back cool guy that always finds himself in trouble but at the same time always finds a way out of it, even if its not the safest.

Men want to be him and women want to be with him as the old saying goes. Underneath the looks , he is just the , funny , sarcastic , cool , and adventurous guy. He rises to the occasion to kick some arse. He can fight , he can handle his weapons , he is a badass .... no doubt about it.

The nice thing about the character is that he is not just one-dimensional ... he naturally gets scared at times , he is a smartarse at times , and he is greedy as well. He has his share of flaws.

Pft, no. I strongly oppose the idea of Nathan Drake being an average Joe. This "average Joe" crap some games are going for is just boring and uninspired. Characters need to be appealing and memorable in one way or another, not some dull ass, supposedly "realistic", douche you're supposed to relate to. No, the appeal with Nathan Drake was that he was Captain Mal Reynolds.

Facial scruff now means emo? It's snowing, I'm stuck on a mountain, I've been in a few fist fights. Ya, I would really care about shaving too! I like the rough image in the teaser. I hope Drake stays with that look if it's taking place in snowy territory. It reminds me of Indiana Jones during the bookends for Mystery Of The Blues (Obscure reference for us Indy fans)

This is why Drake is awesome, he really doesn't fit into any cliche hero. He's just a normal funny guy.

Since when is facial hair emo? People who can't grow facial hair are probably the ones saying garbage like that.

I think people were amused when they found out Sam was looking more and more like Snake with the long hair. People started calling him HOBO-Sam because of the facial hair and overall look.

Ah poop. Again, Captain Mal Reynolds, dammit. That people exist that haven't seen Firefly bothers me. You should end yourselves. Or watch Firefly. Whatever.

Hobo-Sam was awesome, hope he'll still play a part in the game (if it still exists), angrily throwing chairs and various other objects at people and pushing them into counters for no good reason. "Me Hobo-Sam GRRAAAWWR!" "I'm hungry! Feed me sausage!" Or something like that he would say. Oh Hobo-Sam, you silly goof you. If not Ubisoft, someone needs to make a game with a character like that.

his facial hair and long hair made him look like a hobo not like a emo
