Naughty Dog has lost yet another high-profile employee, following the departures of Uncharted creative director Amy Hennig and Uncharted PS4 director Justin Richmond. Nate Wells, art director of The Last of Us, has confirmed that he too has left the house of Drake.


"Hmmm....seem to be some threads here. Yes, I joined the wild, wacky, and ultimately brilliant folks at #GiantSparrow on April 3rd," Wells confirmed on Twitter (via GI.biz).

Giant Sparrow previously worked on the PS3-exclusive adventure game, The Unfinished Swan. Their next game is Edith Finch, which isn't expected to be done until 2016.

exactly. unless ur a kojima ass nikka, one person leaving a development team ain't gonna stop the show.

last I checked apple hadn't approached bankruptcy after steve jobs passed.

 

[Heretic]

They'll be fine. They have a ton of talented people there ready to take over. I'm sure we won't even really notice a difference honestly.

Time to play it safe and reuse those assets.

When people left the Halo team, you guys didn't have a thread on it
The people who left Naughtydawg.. those where big sudden deals that doesn't make sense
If you on top of the game as YOU would like to act (The last of us was certified by you guys before a pic was ever seen)
Now the main ppl leave for another company? Now its happening again? It is interesting as to why

Then every studio under sony seems to have been closing shop over the last 2yrs
Its a clear FACT that sony isn't having success with developers in a retail capacity
I hear Titanfall is the #1 selling game right now.
But what I'm saying would only mean something to investors

Because who gives a shyt.

If it's like the "old" Infinity ward where over half the team left to join West and Zampella at Respawn, THAT is news.

It's actually not that big of a deal, this art director left Irrational Games when Bioshock Infinite was almost finished and he only joined Naughty Dawg when it was close to the end of TLOU's development cycle.

So basically he didnt contribute enough to the last of us to make his absence detrimental to the sequel.
