Uncharted 4

[PogoP]

Yeah but that was a marketing video

 

You always get people like that at every company (or so I've found so far), proper brown noses that think the world shines out of the managements' arse. It's never all rosy and nice, there's always stuff bubbling under the surface!

I believe i remember reading an artist posting here moved from Crystal Dynamics to Naughty Dog, and several employees interviewed in the "making of", said that ND "feels like a family"

 

Perhaps, but that's kind of a cliche. It'd be more surprising if they didn't say that.

Yeah... i wasn't able to make a sarcastic post, but that was my intention.

This.

WTF is going at Naughty Dog. First Amy Hennig, then Justin Richmond and now Nate Wells. That's two game directors and a Lead Artist.

More people left. 

 

Lead game designer and narrative design lead depart for Call of Duty studio

 

Should we be worried?

After a long project, you do normally get quite a big staff turnaround. From my experience, a lot of people, myself included, suffer from 'grass is always greener' syndrome (an actual medical condition), where you always see the flaws of the company you work for, and think things are always gonna be better elsewhere.

 

Chances are, other studios will just have their own set of problems, and things won't neccessarily be better.

 

But who knows, that's just from my experience.

Oh mannnn, Liam. I'm soooooo comfy right now.

Bastard.

But sometimes if you are offered something like a 25k salary bump (not too uncommon) people can be persuaded to ignore those problems

Wow, that certainly bodes well for the story in Ghosts 2, looking forward to it, although who really knows who does what any more... we've all worked at places, I'm sure, where titles and influence/talent haven't always matched...

 

Regarding the Uncharted 2 vs 3 debate a couple of pages (and months) back... I much preferred 2, but I don't know why.

On paper, 3 is just as amazing.

I think it's a weird combination of things, 2 being 'right time, right place' and 3 being more of the same (less step up from 2 to 3 than 1 to 2, for example). And then niggly things like I remember the aiming being too sensitive or something in 3, but could've been the AI moving around more... I'd need to look at both again.

i hope uncharted 4 will still be awesome though -_-

Where is it that this isn't uncommon? Because I want a job there.

Why'd you think I left CA for Sony?
