Naughty Dog: "We want to change the f***ing industry" with The Last of Us (with a focus on storytelling)

I also wish when a developer wants to try something people wouldn't argue with the same boring all generalities.  They aren't trying to make every game story lead nor is that their goal.  They want their game to be that way and they want to offer better than the medium has historically in that regard.  Is it really necessary to start panicing for all other genres every time there is a focus by a single developer in a single area.

This mirrors my sentiments to a "T". Naughty Dog isn't looking for followers (if anything, they're looking to distinguish themselves). That would be the greatest reason my hype is sky high. I'm with Slimebeast in not wanting every game to follow this trend, but disagree that it's a bad route for Naughty Dog to take.

That's what I love about Naughty Dog. They do what they love. Once they get burnt out on something, they move on to something else. I'm glad they still have Jak and Daxter and hope that plays its self back into their mindset, but they have always strive to stand out. By doing something new.
