| wfz said: I thought Naughty Dog and other studios were pressured by Sony to make grittier, more realistic shooters in the beginning of the PS3's life since Sony said it was the trending thing. I know Uncharted started off as a very, very different game than it ended up as, and due to the pressure to make it more realistic, a lot of ND developers were upset (and I believe they left the team). Interesting news to see Sony's completely turned that mindset around - apparently. |
This is true. They pushed for more realistic games in the begining. However, they may very well mean that they made ND cancel/shelf their original game for a game in a different genre. It doesn't exactly mean that they dictated would Uncharted should be afterwards.
Now in the case of Zipper, it's not officially confirmed, but supposedly Zipper got a lot of restraints and conditions from SONY based during the development of SOCOM 4 and that turned out horribly. If true, it was likely because they really underperformed in the years prior.
