Neil Druckmann says he wants to "raise the bar" and criticises storytelling in video games.

Everyone at Naughty Dog seems to be in agreement that this is more than just a standard zombie game, and ND aren't usually so strong in their wording. I'm really starting to anticipate this game (though I am still skeptical until we see gameplay).

Haha, when I saw this game, I just knew it´d be your new avatar, CGI.

ND has become one of my favorite developers this generation, so I anxiously anticipate the game.

Perhaps I need to change it up! Me no like predictability!


Indeed.

But hey, I noticed you haven´t been posting as much as you used to...don´t pull a DMeisterJ (and several others) on us!

I'm pretty sure this is one of the ND guys we haven't really heard from in the past though. I think the wording has more to do with that than anything else.

OT: Show me the money ND! It's one thing to raise the bar for storytelling, but do it without locking the player into a rollercoaster like in Uncharted. Then I'll be impressed!

I'm still around, just have many more reservations with bickering and negativity towards my favorite thing to do in my spare time. I've gone back to how I was during my teenage years: enjoying gaming for gaming. All else is secondary.

Products like The Last Of US are one of the reasons I game, so that's where my focus will be.


That´s the correct attitude, my friend!

Though you can go back to being a bit more active without engaging in all the bickering and negativity.

It seems as though great storytelling includes the word fuck.

Call of Duty already changed (destroyed) the industry enough by copying Hollywood and the cinematic experience. In this console generation nearly all big budget games already turned from being games into being interactive movies. And now these guys are cheered for dumbing down gaming even more.
