Uncharted 4 Stage Fright trophy pokes fun at a notorious E3 fail

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was only released to the public hours ago, but fans are already discovering all sorts of nifty nods and references that developer Naughty Dog slipped in. One particularly funny in-joke is the Stage Fright trophy, which you get by having Drake stand still for 30 seconds. YouTube channel PS4Trophies demonstrates:

If you missed it, this is a reference to Sony's E3 2015 press conference, where a live demo of the game froze and they needed to switch to a backup before proceeding. It's nice to see Naughty Dog take such an embarrassing moment in stride and have some fun with it - a positive attitude from them means a positively funny moment for fans.

Speaking of moments, while the Stage Fright trophy is definitely noteworthy, there's plenty more waiting in Nathan's latest adventure:
