At GDC 2008 Naughty Dog showed an interesting video about the development of Uncharted, (aka Project Big) with some footage from beta-test levels and a different character design for Nathan “Nate” Drake. Even Elena Fisher underwent changes during development: in the early version the character had dark brown hair, but in the final version the color changed to blonde and the face was altered.
Thanks to trainer15side and Juanan for the contributions!

I'm an Italian gamer with not enough free time to play as much as i'd like to and sadly not enough time to write about cancelled and beta games. Founder of Unseen64 in 2001, i'd like to sleep more than 5 hours a day, but i have to pay the bills. I'm currently working for various italian & international websites for a better User Experience & Search Engine Optimization, you can add me on Twitter, Last FM or contact me by email.

Inside the zip there are two pics named UnchartedDrakesFortune – chase_04.jpg and UnchartedDrakesFortune – chase_05.jpg where your female companion is not blonde as in the final game.
Maybe also the other pics contain beta stuff, but i don’t recognize anything special :)
Thanks for the screens! I will add them to the gallery ASAP (this could mean a day or a year :P )
Early press from when game was still untitled sent.
Ya. Converse in the first video.
