Naughty Dog's Jonathan Cooper speaks out on animations in games and how animation isn't the focal point of a game. He also mentions shipping Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
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.
A stunning Uncharted Unreal Engine 5 imagining has been released, featuring cutscenes, platforming, combat, stealth, and vehicles.
Created by Daniel Arriaga, a level designer at MachineGames on the upcoming Indiana Jones game, this fan concept is a solo developer project.
This Valentine's Day got me thinking of some of my favorite video game couples. Specifically, Nate and Elena from the Uncharted Series.
Well the animations featured in the demo are pretty terrific for a pre alpha build, so I guess they're setting the bar pretty high. I'm sure they'll manage to bring the best out of every department, as they always do.
Title is very misleading. His comment was in reference to animating female characters and is a retort against Ubisoft's claims about female assassins. The author then turns around and attempts to make it about Uncharted and graphics over ganeplay... basically saying that Uncharted looks to good to have good gameplay.
Why can't we keep clear straightforward comments in context? That is a hell of a spin. Not best animations refers to the fact that Ubisoft is claiming females are too expensive to properly animate... which is straight bull.
Well it looked awesome at PlayStation Experience. I am beyond excited for it.
It's insane to realize the gameplay they showed was pre-alpha.
I said it before and I'll say it again...I cannot wait for this game.
