Well, maybe Drake will have an excuse to be likeable.

But then again the situation doesn't read nice 

I guess the key to success is to get rid of those that get you that success in this case.

not a lot of women in that position.  wonder what she'll do next?

Maybe she will be picked up by Bungie or another big Dev.

Man, that's odd news. I think that Nathan Drake's character definitely had a woman's touch. Uncharted series might be alright going forward considering how fleshed out that world is at this point, but it's a bummer to see she's gone.

Didn't like The Last of Us and she wasn't a part of that - I feel like there's a correlation there, but who knows. Guess we'll see...

I think she was more to the key of the Uncharted success, but hey, they want to make one for the PS4.... So good luck to them.

Man...what's up with that?  Of course...Sony ain't tell'n.

I hope more will come out as the days go on. Seems like a bold move on Naughtys part.

Such a Naughty Dog, putting her in the dog house. This makes me want to go watch more Rowlf the Dog videos, he was apparently one of Henson's first well-saturated muppet characters, appearing frequently on the Jimmy Dean show, and his segments on there were hilarious, I discovered yesterday.

Wow! I wonder what she will do next? I imagine she'll get another writing gig pretty quick with the reputation she's made with Uncharted.

I remember hearing an interview with her on a podcast, I forget which one.

Damn these edits not working. The interview was on Irrational Games' podcast a year or so ago.

Hopefully it means the series will die and Naughty Dog will go back to making good games.

Naughty Dog has good games that aren't Uncharted? /trollface

Every other Naughty Dog game is good. Jak and Daxter and Crash Bandicoot are amazing, and The Last of Us is pretty decent too It's just a shame Uncharted is terrible.

It's nothing against them, I'm just not a huge fan of their work outside of Uncharted. The Jak and Crash series are passable, though they've got some real duds, and I really didn't like The Last of Us at all.

Despite its criticisms, I still think the Uncharted series is great and I love it for the same reason I love Indiana Jones. If Amy Hennig is the reason Uncharted is what it is, I'm not sure I'll be back for anything Naughty Dog is dishing up.

May I ask what your problems with the Jak and Daxter series is? I haven't played the PSP titles so the only bad game I can think of in the series is Jak X, and even that isn't terrible.

Jak and Daxter, the original, was a competent and largely enjoyable platformer. On the short end and glitchy, but I had fun with it. Jak II is utter garbage. I mean, that game is just awful. I forced myself through it for the HD Collection review, but it was pratically torture. Jak III is alright. It's not great, but it's not bad either. It's just kind of there for me. PSP titles weren't done by Naughty Dog, but neither were particularly good.

I think I can say with confidence that Jak & Daxter (the original) is the only title outside of the Uncharted games that I've truly enjoyed from Naughty Dog.

Again, sorry if I'm asking too many questions, but what did you hate about Jak 2? It's one of my all time favourite games.

I feel like the series hopped on the "sandbox" bandwagon that GTA 3 had started and created something of a clone using the characters from the first game. Missions were often on completely opposite sides of that map, which made doing the simplest things aggravating.

The vehicle controls were poor, the AI was bad, and generally speaking, I didn't find the tasks to be fun. Furthermore, they gave the characters this new edgy baditude (particularly Jak) that made them intolerable to me. Instead of iterating on the concepts in the first game, they basically threw everything out of the window (except the name of the series) and started from scratch. Had they just improved what they dished up the first time around, which is more what they went for in 3, they would've had something more timeless on their hands.

Anyway, this is just my opinion. They aren't even that company any more anyway. I doubt we'll see another Jak game from them directly, because I think they're intent on blurring the lines between movies and games, which they can't really do with their older franchises. I've enjoyed Uncharted for what it is, but I don't know if it'll hold up for me for a fifth game. Things have already worn a bit thin with their current formula, so I'm not sure I'll be onboard for Uncharted 4 either.

lol, trollface. Nah Blake is cool.

I guess that's what happens when you focus your games more in-line with the limitiations of the PSN Pass. I know that's far fetched but we've seen content locked behind a paywall because of it, for all we know forcing a writer and director to work under those kinds of barriers might not mesh well with their styles given the linear style of what games use to be like, before they were cut to be used as locked content.
