I forget nothing, nor did I mention sales in my other posts ..... so get it right.
The difference between UC3 and UC2 was the absence of Neil and Bruce, and the quality of their work on TLOU is apparent .............. that's the point.
Also I was pointing out the critical reception by gamers and the press, and UC3 was considered an inferior game to UC2 and TLOU is the best thing ND has done yet.
What I am really getting at is, although Amy maybe gone ............ quality still remains at ND ..... so a loss it maybe, but not that bad.
Plus Amy will still be making games, so she can continue to shine ....... plus it could be the best thing to happen to her to start something fresh and new.
We need to acknowledge a few key points about UC3 criticism that has been bothering me ever since I became aware of GAF.
First, NeoGaf is not the Internet overall, so I don't tend to feel that if its echoed here, its echoed everywhere.
Second, yes, there is a difference in the metacritic score between the two, although no one ever seems to bring up the fact that UC3's metacritic is based on fewer scores.
Third, Druckmann gets a lot of praise, yet he was one of two in a lead designer role. So please, do not treat him like Uncharted 2's shinning Messiah.
The truth is Uncharted 3 was still great. We can bitch all day about bullet proof vests and "broken aiming" but Uncharted would not be what it was/is without Hennig.
If true, I dont understand how Druckmann would have so much sway he would even feel he had the position "pushout" another developer. Uncharted isn't his project, it was Hennig's. Hell, Wells and Balestra even told me Uncharted 3 was their favorite at E3 when I ran into them. I just dont get it.
Sony, ship it as soon as you can. I dont want anyother influence coming near it.
