Such a beautiful way to depart. I wish him the best.
They've made critically and commercially successful GAMES, bigger than Crash and Jak. I've really enjoyed watching Naughty Dog becoming one of the best in the business.Fuck, the last good director of Naughty Dog has left... ND no longer one of my top studios
Their shift to interactive movies instead of full on gameplay games nowadays is sad, gone are the days of Crash and Jak
I can see Amy pulling him to help work on the starwars games, but I hope MS nabs him. They need a big 3rd person adventure game as it looks like QB didn't fair so well. I would love it also if he went to work for CD, but they almost have it nailed IMO. Don't think they really need him. Him rebooting PD would be amazing.
Just curious, do you play any PS games?
Not looking forward to an entirely Druckmann-led Naughty Dog.
Lmao. He aounds like Kojima.Oh, man. TLOU Part II is gonna be super dark. Neil will have no filter this time around. He already said the game is about "Hate".
What exactly is this based on besides some made up version of him you/GAF has created from thin air?Thanks for everything Bruce,
You were the true mvp. I don't trust Druckmann on his own.

year long sabbaticals are a bad idea
Druckmann is awesome...
Awesome story, thank you for sharing.I only got a chance to work with him on Uncharted 4. I vividly remember the night very close to submission date, we were working on tuning the difficulty of the finalfight. We wanted to get Crushing just perfect. We were trying all kinds of things - modifiers to speed, different combos that only appeared at that difficulty, etc.Rafe
I remember the next morning, I forget the exact words but I see an email, something along the lines of grabbed coffee this morning and played it on Crushing, took me a few tries but I did it and it felt amazing.
Working with him was always a pleasure. He was always willing to try stuff just to see what it would feel like. Hed sit with you to hash out ideas until we both either walked away exhausted or satisfied. Ill definitely miss him. His way of development will stick with me for a lifetime. Cant wait to see what hes cooking next.
He should go to Santa Monica or Blizzard.
Bruce involved with God of War would be awesome.

MS would be smart to get him and have him lead his own studio, with less need to be over worked hopefully.
I don't think leaving naughty dog necessarily mean he didnt want to do AAA game anymore though. It's just that being in ND comes with extra pressure and expectation on the team.You stoopid and you petty. Dude is leaving to breathe and rest from the grind and all you can think about are warz. Lame straight up and down.
You as well. Go eat a beet Dwight.
They obviously could be working on something entirely new we don't know about but to your point ND is also still locked in to two franchises that he's been working on for a decade. Pretty understandable to be interested in moving on.I don't think leaving naughty dog necessarily mean he didnt want to do AAA game anymore though.

He could simply want to move away from that pressure and stress but still make AAA games.

I mean, I don't see ND making Uncharted for a while. I suspect TLOU II is being made while a new IP is under pre-production. It would be a massive disappointment if they went on making Uncharted games from now on, and it's one of my favorite franchises. I also don't know if TLOU III will happen immediately after II.They obviously could be working on something entirely new we don't know about but to your point ND is also still locked in to two franchises that he's been working on for a decade.

There wouldn't be anything disappointing to me if they made another Chloe helmed Uncharted game if that is what the people in that studio wanted to make. In some ways it'd be most disappointing if they didn't make a follow up given how good that game was and the potential it has to live on in a totally different way with a new protagonist.I mean, I don't see ND making Uncharted for a while.

My point was that when Bruce came back from his sabbatical, the studio was waist deep in two franchises he's worked on for a long time now and they will be working on them, in some capacity, for a bit longer as well. It probably helped the decision to move on.
