You do realize he is just a single guy. In past people have left ND and make lots of their own studio (Ready at dawn is made of ex-ND exployees). Plus Uncharted will be next gen only, better hardware, more install base and better developer. Its premature to talk. Only time can tell.

You do realize he was just joking right?


Shh, don't say that, let them fight!!

Well since he's a EX ND, it means he wasn't cut out to be with the best. lol.

He wasnt cut.  He left on his own along with other Naughty Dog members such Amy Hennig and Justin Richmond

Yeah, they left because they couldn't handle it. I remember in their 30th anniversary video they said they people quiting every day.

 I dont believe he gave a reason to why he quit so i wouldnt say you know either unless you have a statement from him.  My point however was that he was not cut and left on his own.




       

Nice. Good news for Tomb Raider.

So Nate Wells is the brother of Evan Wells (co-head) so just seems to turn up between jobs

He's only been at Naughty Dog since he finished work on Bioshock Infinite. Seems to like jumping between studios quite a lot

According to his Linkedin profile, he left Irrational Games in August 2012 (presumably to go to Naughty Dog) then worked at Giant Sparrow in 2014.

Given the timeframe he worked at Naughty Dog, I wouldn't say it was a particularly large loss.

Nevertheless, given that he worked on Bioshock Infinite & The Last of Us, he has an impressive resume behind him. Hope CD put him to good use. On a new Pandemonium game.



So the plan to sabotage Tomb Raider had finally been set into motion. Lara with a Sully-stache confirmed.
