Druckmann is a story writer. He creates stories. And produces documentaries. About himself. Self-promoting, his stories. That solve war and end hunger. With his man-bun. And his cardigan. That let you know he identified as a feminist for 3 years of the last decade.

Bruce Stanley was the true genius behind the last of us. He reigned Druckmans ego in and made the narrative coherent and believable. As soon as Druckman pressed Stanley out of the studio, you could see how the second game´s narrative turned to absolute shit. Neil has no actual clue how to make people relate , because he is so detached from what an actual human being feels. He is so far up his own ass and such an ideologue, that whatever he does next, is gonna alienate even more players.

Exactly, Druckman is a semi competent writer with some interesting but overly ambitious ideas. Part 2 just from a baseline writing level is all over the place, flashbacks within flashbacks, characters just not getting screentime and two separate timelines sort of interweaving but not really until the end. It's just a really messy game compared to the first.

Game Dev here. at 0:45 you ask what the Studio Head is. It's complicated lol, different companies can have someone with that title, but they will do different things. In my experience, the Studio Head makes decisions based on what's best for the studio and it's not strictly about the game projects. It can be facility decisions too, reviewing budgets, being involved with marketing, things the staff needs, etc. Generally, the Creative lead like a Creative Director will come up with the story or premise of a game, Design Directors come up with gameplay and system features. Stuff like that. The Studio Head can say "No" to what the creative leads come up with. And in some cases the Studio Head can make a call and say "Do this." A creative lead and studio head are not always the same thing. Most of the time it's beneficial if these are two different people.

Jason Rubin was proud of how smoothly the transition went, and I'm happy it was a great success for all parties involved. However, it's really not the same company, at all. It is much like a child will inherit genes from its parents, but very much has its own identity. When I see the outstanding quality in LoU, I think "yeah, that's Naughty Dog. No compromises. on quality." I want Naughty Dog to carry on. But honestly, it's not Naughty Dog without the exaggerated flair, the unbridled creativity, the punchy art and music, the gameplay rooted in pure, simple fun or challenge. This happened because the ND of this era have started building gameplay around their stories instead of stories around their gameplay. I don't know if they would deny this but it seems evident to me, even from the footage in this video. I think they would be better under Dan Arey, but he left.

His talk about AI seems very similar to the talk about emergent gameplay during TLOU 1. The AI seems like a continuation off of pushing for my dynamic fusion between gameplay and storytelling. TLOU Part 2 took it even further than the first game with how varied and "realistic" the NPC behavior was. It all played into the storytelling while being a part of gameplay. This is what I HOPE he is talking about anyways.

That's way too optimistic an interpretation, he literally spoke about AI in the context of _content creation,_ his cited example being motion capture at home and how AI can enhance that, thereby lowering costs. That sounds great and all... until you think about what actually goes into motion capture: it isn't just fancy cameras and silly suits with tracking points on them, it's all of the people employed by the studios too, the stunt coordinators, the line riggers (for those crazy jumps and flips), the specialists who set up all of the hardware, the actors themselves - all potentially replaced by a library of mocap data that an AI can be trained on to generate near infinite variations on. And so what if they reduce the cost of development? Are we going to benefit from that? Are the big publishers like Sony, EA, Ubisoft, etc. going to drop the price of games, or are they going to keep raising it and shoving microtransactions in at the same time?

@@blarghmcblarghson1903 That would be an awful direction for Naughty Dog... The reason their cutsscenes look as good in the first place is because they manually touch them up after Mocap. I also feel like those animations will start to look like Ubisoft with how Robotic and spliced together look. I'm trying to cope and hope for an optimistic possibility because this whole AI in creative fields has been very depressing.

The last clip of the Last of Us Part II documentary was from spring 2023, where Neil Druckman teased having a concept for part 3. This is speculation, but my guess is that Sony had a say in what was and was not allowed to be shown from the footage of the development process and all that jazz. They may have allowed that clip to be used for the end of the documentary because it is in fact the intention of NaughtyDog to pursue a final chapter of the Last of Us one day. I believe it’s probably at least 5-6 years away since they are most likely working on another game right now, but I don’t think it’s an accident for Sony to allow that teaser of sorts to be the last part of the documentary. If there is anything at all about the game right now, it is most certainly still in the earliest stages of pre production while they work on this new game.

@@jadedentity6170 The "poorly written" complaints are shit. The biggest one I hear is about the unorthodox rising action. While yes, you go from 100 to 0 real quick, you get a huge bomb dropped on you almost immediately (Abby's dad reveal), which should already significantly change the way you view this story, and you get put right back into action like 10 minutes later. Abby's flashbacks aren't executed as smoothly as Ellie's imo, but it's no where near bad enough to consider the whole story poorly written. Another stupid complaint I hear is about the characters being poorly written. This is definitely the dumbest one. If you can't empathize with a character, fine, just say that. But don't blame that on bad writing. I can't think of a single valid critique I've heard about a character that I couldn't easily dismiss with character development or lore established in the games.

@@johnmisley5411 Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just because mine differs to yours when it comes to the sequel it doesn't make it shit. I felt nothing for Abby or her backstory, because imo the way it was told/structured was done very poorly. One minute Joel is rescuing Abby from certain death and the next she is bashing his brains in with a golf club. And I'm supposed to feel sympathy? Congrats, by doing it this way I feel nothing good towards this character. Then to have you play as her with backstory sprinkled in just felt empty and insulting. Abby's dad reveal didn't change it for me, because her dad was an awful person too. I'm supposed to believe he was the answer to the cure? There is too much that is just implausible. If the story had been told or structured differently then it would have made so much more sense. Build some ground first before tearing it all down. Have us develop some sort of bond with Abby. The numerous flashbacks with swapping views was so jarring. Dina and Jesse were also really underwhelming as characters. Tommy somehow survives a gunshot to the head with no surgeon. Ellie goes on a murder spree twice and kills Mel who shouldn't even be there. Plus countless others. Then gives up in the end after all that? WHAT?! Swapping the strength of the original. The relationship built between Joel and Ellie for what we got in the sequel with the cycle of revenge? It wasn't for me. If there is a third game what will we get now? More flashbacks?

So he doesnt deserve your adoration. I dont care what happens to the studio. I dont want the employees to be fired or laid off but I have 0 interest in what games they make. The TV show last of us continues and if it is successful Druckmann will make another game in the franchise . He won't have the choice although he pretends he does.
