[Neil Druckmann] - "I've started thinking about how many of these games I have left in me - And its not that many" (at least not at this scale)

The DEI team will make sure he's replaced by a more inclusive choice, preferably someone who has demonstrated their ability to not work too much so they don't stress out the rest of the studio.

There must be loads of people in the wings at the company that can take over his position and i would imagine many of them are incredibly talented.

I don't know that much about Naughty Dog, but Uncharted 2, for example, was done by that Amy Hennig chick; that particular game was incredible. ( i know she left the company but there most be loads of good people like that still there)

There is and I'm sure Neil is also prepping senior staff just like Evan prepped him to eventually take over.

What I find funny in all of this is that people love to suck up to Amy while shitting on Neil, however.

Uncharted 2 (OMG AMY IS SO AMAZING)

• Game Director: Bruce Straley
• Creative Director: Amy Hennig

The Last of Us (OMG BRUCE DID EVERYTHING NEIL SUCKS)

• Game Director: Bruce Straley
• Creative Director: Neil Druckmann

It's fucking selective and based on feelings against Neil

But we have more people who claim Bruce is the reason Uncharted was great and Amy is trash? It's all over the last two pages as well

 

[Entropi]

Go play nintendo

I do, a lot. Have you ever heard of Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, and the Uncharted series?

Nah, it's actually split in this whole thread. You did still miss the point.

 

[flaccidsnake]

If you're trying to be a non-political message board, but you allow half a dozen people to whine about "wokeness", you are a political message board and you chose a side. if someone were to have a different viewpoint, it would be clear to you that politics is taking place, which tells you what you need to know.

Both things can be true, it isn't mutually exclusive. But also, both can be wrong.

We can't know for sure.
It could be that people value differently based what they brought to the games.

People complain about Neil Cuckmann simply because he is enforcing his political views in games! Your personal political stances should never be embedded in games. That’s also why TLOU 2 is so controversially discussed. TLOU 2 was ass.

All i remember was, when i was researching getting a ps4 pro back in the day as my first console her name came up a lot, and people were extremely positive about her, i don't remember reading a lot about that Druckman dude, then again i was not really looking at the last of us but more at uncharted 1+2+3

We are still pushing this nonsense? Uncharted 3 suffered? Straley was replaced by the incomparable Justin Richmond. We already know the fallout became that Hennigs Uncharted 4 team wanted more resources and The Last of US was sucking up the resource air within the company which started internal issues. And then she went and publicly criticized Neil's use of feminism by making Ellie kiss a girl... And the fallout happened

Yes Uncharted 3 was the worst ND game of that era

Please stop the corporate fanfic

Ok, there is an escalating issue that I would like to address here.

I don't know how you identify yourselves politically or otherwise, if you consider yourselves "left", or "right" or if you think you're righteous or not. That should not matter.
This forum is about gaming, not a ground for attacking or provoking each other over petty crap like politics.

No more jokes about "woke" or whining about "snowflakes". This childish shit stops now.

ENOUGH

Not you thinking your subjective opinion = Fact. And apparently you can't spot the irony in your comment. Implying it's "corporate fanfic" while you're here doing the same thing you're telling me to stop .

Uncharted 3 was the best Uncharted that era actually and definitely the most complete content rich package as a Naughty Dog game we ever got.

Smooth brain

Nah, I see it in the same ballpark as Uncharted 2 and TLoU... But my favorite of the time period is God of War 3.

Neil Druckmann: next game is "really ambitious" and will be "really hard" to make

In an interview with Logically Speaking, Druckmann describes the project as "really ambitious" but says that aspects of its creation are "really hard" on him and the team. "I've really surrendered to knowing it's going to be really hard, knowing it's going to stress members of the team out," he says, adding that he strives for ways to make it a "joyous experience" for him and everyone else.

The Last of Us director says Naughty Dog's next game is "really ambitious" and will be "really hard" to make

We can expect big things from the studio's next title, which may or may not be The Last of Us Part 3

Another GOTY incoming!

 

[gokuss4]

Excellent news
I hope he will fuck off from naughty dog soon
And joins sweet baby Inc
I'm sure he will fit there

 

[anonpuffs]

"really ambitious" - because it's multiplat on pc
"really hard to make" - because it'll be day one and optimizing for pc is hard
