This clearly isn't a simple retirement as he was just tweeting about staying longer last year.



More exits from long standing members under Jim Ryan's tenure. Playstation hasn't been in this much disarray in a while.

The way everyone absolves the hack that is Hermen Hulst the person who is actually fucking up Playstation studios

Naughty Dog will never know peace. It's no coincidence the studio has been in disarray ever since they forced out Amy Hennig and Justin Richmond.... Which lead to Bruce leaving because they burnt him out, due to the gap left by the folks I mentioned.

Neil is great but his Ascension will never sit right with me...

There's been a million Naughty Dog and Sony guys who left and came crawling back

Remember when apparently everyone was leaving to work at the Initiative

Short memories

Not good either way.

Naughty Dog technical direction, ( facial animation, animation, voice acting, attention to details, action scenes ) is what made them so amazing and probably the best in the industry.

I hope it works out.
Some of you and your assumptions are wild though

i wouldnt call her garbage but she's extremely overrated. Uncharted 2 was her best work and thats because of Bruce. He changed the formula compared to Amy's
Uncharted 1.
TLOU 1, Uncharted 4 and TLOU2 showed how great they ar without her

This has nothing to do with politics lol

He probably didn't like the direction of the studio when it changed to chasing gaas.
1 Gaas game while also making another game does t mean there direction had changed lol

Amy Hennig saved Naught Dog and y'all dare call her overrated lol. Get a grip. Uncharted 1 was rough all around. It wasn't even properly optimized, so I guess EVERYONE who worked on that game is also mediocre just like Amy.

Only thing that can be classified as garbage is your opinion.
She was average at best directing by herself. Her last project was a disaster that had to be rebooted and she had had half a dozen cancelled projects since leaving

She is a decent writer, terrible everything else
