Whelp, all hope lost for anything ND will put out now. What was the poison? Sony telling them to make Uncharted 4?
Could be growing pains. IIRC they had a difficult time transitioning from PS2 to PS3.

How many is this now?

4 I think. Not exactly as earth shattering as some would make it sound.
It is normal for top talent to leave the studio practically all at once?
I just love how this makes him look like a post-it elemental.

And yet, they've all been leads. So by the same token, you don't seem to give it the weight it deserves yourself.
It's not earth shattering, no. But we're not exactly talking about green thumbs or interns, either.

This guy wasn't even working on UC apperently, yet people are jumping on the "oh no UC doomed" train. It's ridiculous
To me, it looks like the videogame industry has a super high turnover rate ... just like the restaurant industry I know oh so well.
It's not that big of a deal, people come and go all the time, someone will always be there to fill the vacant shoes.

Honestly, like, what the heck? What is happening?
O...kay?
It's says nothing of UC, sure. They just lost another lead from TLOU, regardless. That's kind of a big deal. Uncharted is irrelevant in this specific situation.
Sometimes things just don't work out on a project, 4 departures in that regard is a small number, no matter their positions. Amy Hennig was a big loss, the others? Nah.
I would give a higher impact to the much higher number of layoffs at Sony Santa Monica than this.

Ok, but i am sure that if Real Madrid loses Cristiano Ronaldo, even being 1 of 24 players in the team, the team results will be affected...
Druckmaaaaaaaaann!!
Yes, hence me saying Amy Hennig was a big loss?
I can't tell if you're serious or if you're parodying some posts in the Hennig thread.No wonder they got rid of him. That beard and hair looks horrible. No doubt it took some other artist ages to fix.
Could it be poaching? I'd think ND would be prime target for that.
You'd think people would have gotten sick of beating this (unfunny) dead horse
Nope
Ugh. Begin the doom and gloom and wtf Naughty Dog and concern trolling and legitimate trolling and legitimate concern.
Didn't you post almost this exact same post earlier today?
ND is made up of a lot of individual people. I don't know why you think nobody at Naughty Dog wants to work on Uncharted. There's obviously a number of people there with a passion for the franchise. There could be people leaving because they want to work on new IP, or because they wanted to work on TLoU 2, and it's just as possible there are people staying because they want to work on Uncharted. Maybe the same people leaving are for better opportunities. And besides didn't this exact same thing happen before at the end of the PS2 Era?
Man, ND presidents mentioned the reason they expanding to 2 team is because they are bleeding talent and want to prevent them from leaving, obviously that didn't work out. Maybe the constant comparison between the team like us calling them A team and B team is the problem? ND had some very talented people there, some of the best in the industry, hearing people calling them B team could be a bit annoying, maybe some of them think they'll be treated better in another company.
They now have naughty dog in their resume and probably highly sought after by other developer.
There needs to be an official statement pronto.
Kind of is for ND since that's like a championship team losing four starters to free agency after one season.4 I think. Not exactly as earth shattering as some would make it sound.
