EW: It's not so much a transition period, actually. We've asked them to lead the project. They are excited as veterans of the Uncharted franchise to take the responsibility and they're doing great.

GI: Did those guy work on the PlayStation 3 Uncharted games?

EW: Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2, yeah.

As far as the perceived exodus, or real exodus, from Naughty Dog, what's your take on what's been going on?

Evan Wells: To us, it's kind of strange because the perception and what's being "reported" is in stark contrast to the feeling here at the studio, Everyone here is energized and excited to show off what we've been working on. There are no doom and gloom feelings, unlike what's being portrayed by the "journalists" that are writing these stories. It would be comical if it hadn't persisted as long as it has - it's just not going away. Every single departure, or now even hires, are being reported as if it's big news.

Christophe Balestra: If you look back at the last 10 years, it's been happening to us. You have to deal with these things.

So you would say it's normal attrition?

CB: Statistically, it's not unusual.

EW: It's not significant at all. In the course of the last generation, we've had art directors, creative directors, co-presidents, and co-founders, leave the company and we just keep going. We've replaced that talent and we've filled the gaps. Some bumps are harder to smooth out than others. We work it out.

I dont know where they went wrong with UC3. They really had all they needed for the game to be better than UC2. Just didn't pan out that way but UC3 had way better action when I think back.

UC3 was rushed and they build around setpieces instead of having a more cohesive and consistent story.

uc3 lacked variety of enemies...at the end of the game all the enemies are the same and basically bullet sponges. Thats what killed it for me

Bruh, you should be.
First off, of course everybody at the studio is upbeat. They all got raises
But even more REAL, what did you expect them to say? Oh man, since such and such left, we strugglin hard doggy!
Lets be reality, if Uncharted 4 was coming along nicely? There would be more than a Tech Demo for E3
Only a fool would actually believe that Uncharted isn't up in the air right now. The only definite?
It won't be what it was supposed to be. That could be a good thing, might not. But that is what the situation is
And while ppl like to act as if The Last of Us was so great that this game will be too?
No, TLOU benefitted from uncharted's team. It wasn't this completely new team, all new ppl. And pow... TLOU!


TBC...
