Hey there everyone. As you’ll likely be aware, today sees the release of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection across much of the SCEE region (with UK and Ireland to follow on Friday). Not only does it package up three of the very finest action/adventure games to ever grace a home console, but it also serves as a mouth-watering appetiser for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, which follows next year on PS4. In short, you should probably get involved.
Speaking on what’s coming next for Naughty Dog, which could be either their new IP or The Last Of Us Part III, Druckmann gave what he seems to feel are realities of the project he’s talking about. That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”

"I’ve really surrendered to knowing it’s going to be really hard, knowing it’s going to stress members of the team out"
As if crunch wasn't stressing them enough
That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”
Not 'is' but 'will be', kinda suggests that they haven't started yet, hope not.
Come on ND, a game PLEAAAAASSSSEEEE. Desperate this gen.
Also, just off-topic slightly but..
Does anyone think that layoffs now may well be making space for AI integration of game development, and 'crunch-time', 'unsustainable', 'big budget' are all terms been used to butter us up to receiving the news that AI integration will help and maintain the level of AAA games that were accustomed to? Perhaps the layoffs were the devs that didn't join a union quick enough and if only they had the smarts of SAG members and strike while the time is right, before its too late?! Imagine DEV's on strike at a time like this, there's already a game drought.
'The Last of Us' co-creator Neil Druckmann shares his experience revisiting the 'Part II' story with the upcoming remaster and how fans responded to the original's twists.
The co-director/writer of the Last of Us games is being awarded for his 20-year tenure at Naughty Dog and progressing from staff intern to co-president.
Oh my
*The Andrew Yoon Legend Award recognizes those who have propelled the gaming world forward, celebrating their profound impact on an industry that continues to captivate and connect people worldwide.
Revenge is bad, ok. Mutilate the character in front of the audience's eyes with a golf club and forgive'em in the last act because we must learn to forgive or learn it's an endless cycle of Naruto hate if with don't forgive this person.
"Runs away from this discussion because it'll only go one way, ./bows out"
This is a nonsensical award anyway. I worked with Yoon back at Joystiq in the mid 00s - he was just some guy. A minor videogame journalist who made one game and then died in a tragic accident.
The award was literally created by a friend/partner of his to keep his legacy alive, but he really didn't have a legacy and definitely wasn't a major contributor to the videogame world. No more than any editor / writer on IGN or something.
The only person who cares about this award is Yoon's friend. Definitely not something the people getting it particularly care about, since why would they? It's like me giving out the 'StarcrossedBits' award to Miyamoto.
I really enjoyed Last of Us 2, but I remember reading an interview with him where he wants to push diverse characters in a way that seems disingenuous and almost aggressive for the sake of brownie points and that doesn’t really sit well with me.
I felt The Last of Us 2 was handled fine with that, but I can see this guy getting way overzealous to the point it becomes too in your face.
Without balance you almost become the very thing you’re trying to champion against.
My favorite moment in Uncharted when the game did a 180 in the first game and The Descendants/Zombie Monsters came into play. Thats when the hip fire was freaking awesome, i loved that moment so much. It turned from an action adventure game to a horror action game. I loved that.
Also its great that Sean murray played it. The guy has an awesome taste in games. Cant wait to play No Man's Sky.
Also i noticed everyone is loving the train sequence but it seems nobody is giving credit to Syphon Filter 2 which made train sequences badass. I am pretty sure that is where Naughty Dog got the inspiration.
Syphon Filter 2 train sequence was so damn epic at its times with some of the best OST in gaming.
Sony Bend should remake Syphon Filter 2 for PS4.
Uncharted 3 when Drake has a few nice words with Elena as he must leave and then later grabs on the plane s wheel as it takes off.
First Uncharted.
First Scene/gameplay on the boat.
Because, i realised that i had made a good choice, in buying the PS3 instead the X360. When i knew ND will do a action game, i was very skeptical. But i decided to trust in the talent of ND. And already in the beginning of the game i knew that Uncharted will be another great series of ND.
Top Uncharted moment? Anytime Elena Fisher is on screen....
Great video and can't wait for my pre-ordered copy. ^^
