It's gotta be Aloy. Screw you Nate, you boring jerk.
Nine months of polls have led to this moment.
Thanks for all the support and your votes!
Solid Snake was robbed.
Nathan Drake wins this then.
Aloy for me New blood over Old blood Aloy is the future of PlayStation.
Nathan Fill..Drake all the way. Sorry Aloy, your still a young pup in the playstation universe.
Hard to decide but in the end, I love Nathan Filli- I mean Nathan Drake.
@Elodin Ha darn it you got that joke in just before me!
This has to be the hardest vote of the competition for me and the only one that I have really struggled to pick. In the end, I opted for Aloy because it seems that Nate's time is over.
However either would be a worthy winner in my opinion and happy that these are the top 2...
Great competition, @ShogunRok! It's been fun following this every week.
I voted for Aloy just because i feel sorry for her I know that must people are gonna vote for Nate
I felt like voting for the underdog, but I liked Nate's character, and I haven't even finished Horizon. Nate it is. It's been really fun following this pole. I wish it weren't ending!
Neither. Geralt of Rivia.
Thanks for the tournament, Robert. It had drama, love, hate, happiness and sadness. Better than most of the stuff you'd find on Netflix.
I voted for Aloy!
Nate and Kratos are my favourite PS Characters.
Not the final I would’ve expected but a good tough choice nonetheless- gotta go Drake on this one though, he’s more established and I really enjoyed the series.
The poll was rigged so Sonic wouldn’t win. Lol, I went with Drake here. Unfortunately I haven’t played Zero Dawn yet. Currently in my backlog.
It took a long time, but I finally get to see Aloy lose. That's revenge for Trico, Ratchet, Sully, Cloud and Kat, you freckle-faced wench!
If I can't have Snake win, then at least I'll have Drake win. It's close enough.
It’s Nate, you guys.
Why fight it? He is the face that runs the place.
@shonenjump86
not even Russia can help Sonic now. Lol
There is no wrong answer here, as both are not only great characters with excellent games behind them, but both are synonymous with the PlayStation brand. Drake has more games so I give him the nod this time, but Aloy will probably surpass him in the next 3 or so years.
Kratos!
This final could've been epic! Now Drake will just murder Aloy
Nate by default, since I haven't played Horizon yet.
Got a feeling Kat will end up winning this one..
I cant choose!!! But i chose Aloy only because she has a sequel game in the work where as Drake's story seems completed. Love them both though! !!
hast to be Nate sorry Alloy do love you too
I like Aloy, but I like Drake more.
I’ve got to go with Nathan Drake. It looks like this won’t be a close match either.
Sorry Aloy you are great, but Nathan is just better.
Aloy for me. Uncharted is a great series but getting old after playing 4 of them. Horizon was fresh, exciting and I can't wait to see where they take her next. Horizon's settings will lead to more gameplay variations than Uncharted I think as it was getting a bit ho-hum been there. Here's to Horizon Two.
@ShogunRok Wow has it been nine months? Thanks for all your hard work putting this together.
Nate’s winning by a landslide. Somebody get on Twitter and rally some feminists to make this more interesting.
Nathan drake! No.1
No.1 game series
More uncharted please WANT IT!
@Neolit I honestly struggle to believe that we've been doing this for NINE months.
It's an appropriate final really cos in Nathan Drake you have PlayStation's immediate past through the turbulent PS3 era to the all conqueroring PS4 one. Then in Aloy you have PlayStation's immediate future from post Uncharted 4 through to PS5.
Drake may be a mass killer on the scale that even Schwarzenegger could only dream of...
But Aloy can take down Robot Dinosaurs!
Think about that before casting your vote.
Really easy one, sorry Aloy but you're still a newbie !
NATHAAAN DRAAAKE !!
NINE months to find out what we already knew.
Aaagggghhhhhh!
I finally went for Nathan Drake. Someone up there said Drake's time was over and this got me thinking - that's true - and he's proven himself.
Aloy and H:ZD is awesome but relatively new.
The best two certainly reached the final.
So who in this comp were the equivalent of England?
@Wesker That the majority of people on here have no taste?
i've gone for drakey boy. whilst aloy might be the future, i think it'd be a fitting farewell to playstation's most iconic hero of the last two generations to win. can't think of too many characters that have shifted 40 million units...
Definitely have to go with Drake, but I love that Aloy was 2nd. Kratos and Snake both deserved top 4 in my opinion, too. (Wait, Kratos isn’t in top 4? 😂)
Aloy, she's a much more interesting character.
Aloy is great, but Drake has 5 games to draw from here and also has some other great characters to have a lot of banter with throughout all of them.
Aloy is a bit more of a lone wolf and her circumstances in her one game are generally much more brutal so without having any real opportunity to see a more fun light hearted side to her, I think at this point in time Drake wins without too much of a struggle. Would be interesting to see who wins when she has a few more sequels under her belt.
My girl Kat did great!!
Hard to say 1 beat sepheroth the other beat cloud , dont guess I will vote , to hard lol.
Aloy, I wanna be your baby. ^^
Ugh, i hate nathan drake.
I dont care what you all think,
makoto wins.
I think I'm glad it's almost over... I think.
Gotta vote for Alloy she's the new playstation star and we need more women stepping forward for the future. But, I do love drake as well.
Nathan is as funny as only hemorrhoids can be. Being killed while playing the Uncharted trilogy was a relief. R.I.P. Nathan.
@RogerRoger so what you’re saying is that Naughty Dig successfully made a multifaceted character; strong and dependable, but also in touch with his emotions. A lovable rogue that makes mistakes; someone that has his own flaws but also can appeal to a wide audience.
@kyleforrester87 That hipsters comment a lot, but don’t reflect the majority of users.
How the hell did Aloy make it this far. She is a lifeless character and no way near fleshed out as some of the other many characyers in video games. Would've liked to have seen a Drake/Kratos final.
@Wesker yeah must be the same crowd keeping the Fast & Furious franchise, Love Island and Britains got Talent going, eh?!
What’s wrong with Fast & Furious? You’re just mad because Torque didn’t get a sequel.
@Wesker I'm mad Dredd didn't get a sequel actually
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Who is cervegantes? That should say enough. 😁 😃 😂 🤣
@kyleforrester87 Judge Dredd VS Death was as good as the movie!
@wesker COD Ghosts sold 4.2 millions units, Dishonored 2 only 1.9 R.I.P. common sense.
@ShadowWarrior I agree that Aloy is the future. But I guess you also have to think about history and how long they've been on the scene. I was a little shocked that Kat beat out Kratos. To me, he's a HUGE face of Playstation. But that's just my opinion.
They make a cute couple. #Draloy
@Rudy_Manchego haha, great minds and all that..
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Well looked him up nope hé isnt even close to being a Playstation Icon. 😁 😃
Nathan Fillion... I mean Drake...
@Suren1998 same here. Thought Drake vs. Kratos would’ve been the obvious finale.
I voted for Nathan Filli.. err... I meant Drake.
Drake is boring.
All hail the king of ludonarrative dissonance! (I just like saying that term, so I take every opportunity to use it. It makes me feel smart.)
@RogerRoger
Aloy is great, but it's gotta be Drake this time. It'll be interesting one day to see if Aloy overtakes him after a few more games though. The journey of Nate across the four games makes such a difference.
@RogerRoger Lol, well, I meant Nathan Drake — you know, the poster child for the ‘hero who does not act heroically’ or acts out of sync with the overall narrative of the game’s intent. But at least Naughty Dog doesn’t take themselves too seriously and they realize they created a thief and a mass murderer whom they portray as the good guy— Uncharted 4 has a trophy for killing 1000 enemies called “Ludonarrative Dissonance.” 😂
Horizon zero down is the sole representative of what I don't like about PlayStation today and I feel bad just to have Aloy as a finalist.
I don't care about Nathan, but he had my vote just because I despise Aloy and the dreadful future of generic unpolished mainstream games she represents.
I am quitting this community, Cuz majority of people here think Nate is better than Snake. If Snake would have lost to Kratos i wouldn't have cared much but Nate seriously. Voted for Aloy
Aloy is a good character, but compared to everything we've been through with Nate? No contest.
@Haris4Real I hope you're joking about leaving. I personally wasn't happy Lara got voted off. As for Drake v. Snake, the MGS games are odd and have those long laborious cutscenes I can't stand, so I could never get into them.
@VRDart I think Horizon is overrated, but unpolished? I don't see it.
@SegaBlueSky Oh gosh, I hope we never have to do this again. lol
@Th3solution What's funny to me, is I was always bothered how people complained about him being a murderous hero...But other characters in games do the same and are no problem.
Obviously context for everything matters, and every game is unique in its specific plots, but nearly all shooters end up applauding mass murders as heroes. It's rare that we get something that questions it or has a character who's tormented by it like Spec Ops: The Line or Tomb Raider/Rise.
Not saying that it's necessarily right to be ignored, but then Uncharted stops being Indiana Jones and instead becomes a game about a character who deals with PTSD and is a mass murderer. Just a different game entirely. Light hearted shooter may sound odd to say, but in the context of Uncharted, it's more or less fine. Obviously TLOU engages a more heavy side where there's more weight to killing.
kat!
no wait! what?
Nathan Drake :/ ♥
