Forums - Gaming Discussion - Bruce Straley Leaves Naughty Dog

So the last good director leaves Naughty Dog, I know ND still have Neil and he is a good writer but his agenda to push social issue through his writing feels forced, and UC4 was evident of that. I geniuenly believed that Bruce was really good Director considering he helmed two great project at ND co-directing with Amy and neil (Uc2 and TLoU). I knew he was on sabatical for a year, but i was really hoping that when he came back he would get to work on his on solo game as a director. Now lets see if he joins some other studio, that is if he decides to stay in game development scene, coz if he does stay then there is definitely something wrong at ND.

But Anyways Good Luck to him for his future endeavors, Now all eyes on Neil and how great TLoU2 turns out to be.

Care to elaborate?



Probably not paid enough..who knows. Devs leave all the time. He probably wants to expand his portfolio etc.

well for starters forcing nadines character into UC4 just because there should be a strong female character. even if there is no reason for her to be in the story. and nerfing the combat with her. 

Would have been perfectly fine if elie and riley were just good friends and not associate their sexual prefrence. I dont mind having these in the game. but reminding gamers that they are in the game because gaming community needs them, just pisses me off..
