Naughty Dog: We did not expect the critical reception we're getting


There's a saying that deems humble people as the most successful. They don't brag about what they've accomplished, they don't go around badmouthing the competition, and they certainly don't imitate. The Naughty Dogs have demonstrated their humbleness, even as they bask in the praise of rave reviews for the critically acclaimed Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
You'd think after creating such a genre defining experience that they'd have anticipated this was coming. Well according to Naughty Dog's Travis McIntosh, this sentiment could not be further from the truth. Speaking today in a live chat with the Official Playstation Blog, he said:
"We knew we had something special while working on the game, but did we expect the critical recognition we've been getting? No, when you're as close to a game as we are it's far easier to see the flaws than the full picture. It wasn't until near the end when the story and the cut scenes finally came together that we realized that the game was as good as it was?"
On an entirely different note, Neil Druckmann later added "We love that so many girls enjoy Uncharted..... it's part of our motivation in creating such strong, well-rounded female characters."
You can indulge here, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is now available. Can't make your mind up yet? Read our full review, no bias, but you'll be convinced.

They totally deserve it. I really really wanted to play Demon's Souls a bit more before I got U2, but I stopped by the mall to get some other stuff, and just couldn't help my self. I think it's safe to say I won't be playing any other games for quite some time.



I can't wait to see the week 1 sales, I hope it does really good.



Suuuuuuure you didn't. :P And well deserved too in my opinion... and others as well. I. Must. Have. This. Game!!!



Love that Naughty Dog.

And you're just plain trolling!



Wow, I wish more developers were like Naughty Dog when talking game quality.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Lol, they're like the complete opposite of Turn 10.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
