Port the Uncharted Trilogy original PS3 editions to the PC


Port the Uncharted Trilogy original PS3 editions to the PC
The Issue
The original Uncharted trilogy from the PlayStation 3 needs to be preserved. Their multiplayer - including co-op levels with their own stories - is already currently unplayable.
For me and many others, the Uncharted trilogy was a massive inspiration and remains one today. It has become increasingly difficult to acquire a working PS3 and a working controller, and it's a hassle most people don't want to contend with to play three video games.
Uncharted, the original trilogy, should be preserved by being brought to the PC.
Sony has announced their intention to port Uncharted 4 onto the PC, which opens this possibility. However, they have announced no intention to do the same with the original Uncharted games - and if they did, at this juncture, they would port the "Nathan Drake collection" from the PlayStation 4.
However, the Nathan Drake collection is not a proper preservation of the Uncharted trilogy, which are timeless works of art created by an impassioned team headed by the longest-standing and most successful woman writer in video games. They deserve to be preserved in their original form.
The Nathan Drake collection alters many things about the game - it changes the character models (Nate's in particular) and loses the different, unique stylization of each game, making it feel strange and inconsistent in both art and the aging process of the characters. Using the UC3 models throughout the series was never the intention of the creators. Likewise, the ND collection changes the lighting throughout the series and entirely alters the color keys of key levels, removing a great deal of the atmosphere. Even in-game triggers were altered, and the game is rife with glitches that the original trilogy never had, including characters suddenly having black teeth during important cutscenes.
Every single aspect of the original Uncharted games on PS3 was a calculated and artistic decision - the lighting, the models, everything. They are works of art and should not be tampered with during the porting process. They need to be preserved in their original form, especially as the PS3 itself is fading fast.
The PS3 editions, the original editions, of the games need to be preserved - utterly unaltered, brought to PC to be played again and saved forever across multiple generations. Even if these PC ports still do not include multiplayer, though it would be nice to see that playable at least on a LAN, it would be a vast improvement over seeing these games fade away as PS3 exclusives.
The Uncharted trilogy is a timeless masterpiece. We cannot afford to lose it.
Please let Sony know that we want to see the original, unaltered PlayStation 3 versions of all three Uncharted games - NOT the BluePoint games Nathan Drake Collection from PS4 - playable on PC.
