In a post on EA.com, Steve Papoutsis announced that Amy Hennig has now joined Visceral Games, makers of the Dead Space franchise. As Steve said in the post, she’s most likely working on a new Star Wars game; “Over the last few weeks, Amy and I have spent a lot of time talking about what her first project would be. There are a lot of different directions we could have gone, but I could sense that what really excited her about this opportunity (because let’s...
UPDATE: In a statement from Naughty Dog, its co-presidents had this to say, “We feel it necessary to clear up a very important point that was unprofessionally misreported when the story broke. Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann were NOT involved in what transpired.” Amy Hennig, creative director for all three console iterations of the Uncharted series, has left Naughty Dog after 10 years. March 3rd marked the end of her work on the upcoming Uncharted game for...
During tonight’s Playstation 4 All Access event broadcast on Spike TV, Naughty Dog officially unveiled the next installment in the wildly popular Uncharted series. Apparently someone is out for revenge. Who that vengeful individual is, no one knows at this stage of the game. Are we even dealing with Nathan Drake? Who knows?! I sure don’t!
Over the past three years publishers’ sales expectations for their projects have risen dramatically. Games like Dead Space 3, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Tomb Raider all carried a heavy burden to sell millions upon millions of copies to be considered a success. By all accounts, these three games have been critically acclaimed and are worthy of a purchase yet some in the industry look upon their sales numbers as failures. It is no secret that the cost to...
The Last of Us hasn’t been a game I’ve been eager to revisit from a single player perspective since I wrote my review. The campaign is dense and left me with a myriad of emotions. I’ve been chewing on how I feel about the way things ended and wrapped up with Joel and Ellie and have been listening to others on Twitter, podcasts and through reviews. There’s nothing good about the Last of Us in the way that it makes the player feel. It’s...
The Last of Us may well be the pinnacle of this generation’s games. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on, and in so many ways. It transcends everything that previous Naughty Dog games have been and is maybe, in some respects, what they’ve tried to be. The story that the Last of Us tells isn’t necessarily a new story, especially in movies, but it is a new perspective. Never before in this sort of tale does the viewer, or in this...
If you’re looking for news about the Last of Us, I am probably the last person you should talk to regarding Naughty Dog’s upcoming summer blockbuster game. Although, depending on your perspective, I could be the very person you should talk to. I have put a media blackout on myself for what is quite likely the most anticipated game of 2013. Outside of the basic plot and characters, I don’t know much else about the game. The reason for my information...
Compared to its competitors, the video gaming industry is a juvenile upstart. From some pretty humble beginnings, this industry has grown into a media force with annual earnings that dwarf the record and movie industries combined. Yes, gaming has grown up, it has even earned its stripes with giant publishing corporations in the form of Activision/Vivendi and Electronic Arts. With all of the new found maturity and revenue, the video games industry is still finding it...

Along with the release date, the second trailer for the game has been released, which you can watch below. Arne Meyer recently told readers of the Playstation Blog, “We’ve tried to keep the trailer as spoiler-free as possible, while giving you some hints at the tense, emotional narrative the development team has crafted...
