Leaves, they told that bytch, we dont need you anymore, the new pioneers are here. Hopefully they'll bring a more realistic tone to uncharted instead of all that extra silly shyt.

Cats were like amy im sorry but this shyt Light. We need to do some rewrites you know, so this shyt will sell. We only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow. Her writing probably been flabby. Heard these 2 faggy white boys helped write UC 2, the gawd and Amy wrote 3 herself. Go join Tomb Raiders team, Amy, but i dont think they need her either.

The real question is. WHO LEFT WITH HER!!!

*crickets*

Nice. UC4 with some TLOU gameplay elements and maybe grittier story

LOL at Neil coming back from the goat of us and giving her the

Treatment

I don't necessarily see why this is good news. Yes, Uncharted 3 was a step down from 2 but she was game director on the entire trilogy, so obviously she got a whole lot more going on than just ruining Uncharted 3's plot.

Umm, ya'll must be tripping if you think Uncharted needs to be "Gritty" like TLOU. Uncharted ain't about that.

Why does this shyt matter, video game writers must be the most untalented human beings ever created, they are less important to society than the people working in the local McDonalds.
