For me U2 was my first time stepping into the game director role, so that was a fresh & exciting (maybe naive but super open) time, but TLOU was something special, and challenging. I saw a video of U2 the other day and had some pleasant feelings of nostalgia bubble up, and seeing the fan art and people's reactions to TLOU has been extremely exhilarating.

One of my favorite moments in the game (alongside the giraffes and David's death) was the truck ambush in Pittsburgh, and one of the reasons for that was the music. Was Hank Williams always your choice to complement the scene, or would you have used something else in hindsight?</p> <p style="text-align: left">2. As female Hunters/cannibals/Fireflies/military exist in concept art and in the multiplayer mode, why do we only fight male humans in the game? (There are female soldiers but Joel doesn't fight them in-game) Is there any story based explanation, like keeping all the women and kids at the home base? Or was it for creative reasons, given the brutality of the combat?</p> <p style="text-align: left">3. What were some infected concepts and stages that you cut from the game? Looking at the artbook, there are a lot of concepts that seems pretty far-fetched for the universe you created, like the infected wielding tools.</p> <p style="text-align: left">4. Why are there no pictures of Sarah's mother in Joel's house? Is it because even before he lost Sarah, Joel wasn't one for holding onto the past?</p> <p style="text-align: left">5. Does Joel's last name start with an M or an N? I'm asking this because one of the ND forumers found the certificate in Joel's house with Sarah's (obscured) full name on it, and we were wondering if you had any last name for Joel in mind.</p> <p style="text-align: left">6. Regarding David: How long do you suppose it took for a man like him to lose grasp on his morals, accept the new world order as it is, and turn to cannibalism with his buddies? Furthermore given the rather hebephilic overtones of his interactions with Ellie, was this an intentional character trait or just part of Nolan North's performance? If intentional, did David always have such tastes or was that just a byproduct of post-pandemic lawless living conditions?</p> <p style="text-align: left">Bottom of Form</p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left">· <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/cbed4cn"><strong>permalink</strong></a></p> <p style="text-align: left"><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/">[–]</a><a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/Neil-ND"><strong>Neil-ND</strong></a>Creative Director 166 points 5 months ago</p> <p style="text-align: left">Top of Form</p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left">1) Hank wasn't the original choice, but he did turn out to be the best choice. 2) Development time & memory prevented us from seeing the female hunters to completion. 3) Fungus growing on the environments that shot poison darts at the player were at one point in the game. 4) The backstory was that she left Joel after Sarah was born. Not someone he looked up to to keep a picture around. 5) We didn't reveal the last name. 6) David's cannibalism came after the outbreak.

Thanks for doing this AMA, and thank you and the rest of the Naughty Dog team for one of the most epic experiences gaming has brought me. My question to you is:</p> <p style="text-align: left">Seeing as you've been looking over the game from the very beginning and through the development, was there anything that took you by surprise or anything you noticed when finally playing through the finished result that you were not aware of during the development? Or is it difficult to fully immerse yourself and enjoy the game after you've spent years making it?</p> <p style="text-align: left">Bottom of Form</p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left">· <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/cbecq50"><strong>permalink</strong></a></p> <p style="text-align: left"><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/">[–]</a><a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/Bruce-ND"><strong>Bruce-ND</strong></a>Game Director[<a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/">S</a>] 118 points 5 months ago</p> <p style="text-align: left">Top of Form</p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left">well, it's always hard playing a game that we've been so 'attached at the hip' to for so long without seeing the flaws.

But I can say when playing through the game more strung together, I teared up at moments that I KNEW were actually going to happen. That was cool!

I was <em>pumped</em> for this game after those videos! My anticipation for this game even beat out my anticipation for <em>Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time</em> - the first iteration of my favorite game series in 8 years!</p> <p style="text-align: left">I was so excited for this game! I was convinced that the week I bought and played this game would be the best week of my summer. But then life happened.</p> <p style="text-align: left">In a nutshell, the week the game launched was the week before I put my dog, Miles, to sleep. The day after I beat the game (Monday, 6/17) was the day he was taken to the vet, and that was that. I was sobbing my heart out that whole weekend. The only times I wasn't were when I was sleeping, and when I was sitting in front of my television, holding a DualShock, while Miles was chilling in his chair in the corner of the living room.</p> <p style="text-align: left">Your game made that weekend go from unbearable to heart-wrenching. That may not sound like much, but it was enough to give me some peace while the hourglass was dripping ever faster. I can't express how much easier your game made that weekend. There were some parts that somewhat mirrored what was going on in my life, namely Gadget from "Boy's Diary", that forced me to take a breather, but those were also just plain beautiful moments that most games today simply can't create.</p> <p style="text-align: left">I'm never not going to associate you guys with my dog, but I think it's good to have something to keep him in my memories. I believe you only truly die when everyone else has forgotten about you, so Naughty Dog will always keep Miles alive for me when I'm playing your games. And I plan on playing your games for as long as you make them. I don't want you guys to stop, just like I don't want to forget about my best friend.</p> <p style="text-align: left">I've played you guys since Crash, and there's not a single game you guys and your fellow Naughty Dogs have made that I haven't played, and that will never change. Keep on doing what you guys do - it's fantastic!</p> <p style="text-align: left">Regards, MrJAPoe</p> <p style="text-align: left">PS: Give Pogo and Trumpet an extra pat from me <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite80" alt=":)" title="1 :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p> <p style="text-align: left">Bottom of Form</p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left">· <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/cbecoeu"><strong>permalink</strong></a></p> <p style="text-align: left"><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/">[–]</a><a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/Bruce-ND"><strong>Bruce-ND</strong></a>Game Director[<a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/">S</a>] 170 points 5 months ago</p> <p style="text-align: left">Top of Form</p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left">wow. well, thanks and sorry to hear about your dog. that sucks.</p> <p style="text-align: left">Bottom of Form</p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left">· <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/cbef3d7"><strong>permalink</strong></a></p> <p style="text-align: left">· <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/#cbecoeu"><strong>parent</strong></a></p> <p style="text-align: left"><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/">[–]</a><a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/MrJAPoe"><strong>MrJAPoe</strong></a> 125 points 5 months ago</p> <p style="text-align: left">Top of Form</p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left">Thanks.

Jak and Daxter is my childhood game and The Last of Us just topped it for my all time favorite game. I still want to get the Crash Bandicoots, and the Uncharteds are awesome. You guys can make a game about reading a phonebook and I will pre-order and platinum that game.</p> <p style="text-align: left">Ok, now for the questions. I understand if you choose not to answer some of them.</p> <p style="text-align: left">1. Do you see yourselves ever making games for all platforms, or are you guys sticking with Playstation?</p> <p style="text-align: left">2. What was the biggest challenge NaughtyDog as a team had to go through?</p> <p style="text-align: left">3. Are you purposely making trilogy after trilogy or is that just coincidence?</p> <p style="text-align: left">4. I've read that during the development of Uncharted 3 you split into two teams, the second began working on The Last of Us. Are there still two separate teams? If so, does this mean you work on two different games simultaneously?</p> <p style="text-align: left">5. On <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/thelastofus">/r/thelastofus</a> I've seen some debate on whether or not Bill is gay and if David intended to rape Ellie. So, just to put the questions to rest, are those true?</p> <p style="text-align: left">6. In The Last of Us, there are stuffed giraffes scattered throughout the game. Were these intended to foreshadow the giraffe scene or are were they just props?</p> <p style="text-align: left">7. Do you plan on making more comics after The Last of Us: American Dreams?</p> <p style="text-align: left">8. In The Last of Us were Joel and Tess ever romantically involved?</p> <p style="text-align: left">9. What exactly was running through Ellie's head at the end of the game?</p> <p style="text-align: left">10. In The Last of Us campaign, why weren't there any 3 way fights between Joel, hunters, and infected? Was it a technical issue?</p> <p style="text-align: left">11. In The Last of Us, will Infected be incorporated into multiplayer?</p> <p style="text-align: left">12. In the Last of Us, when and how does an infected become a bloater? I know the four stages (runner -> stalker -> clicker -> bloater), but it was said that when an infected feels like it's about to die it finds a corner to release more spores. So does the bloater happen before of after the spore release stage?</p> <p style="text-align: left">13. I have a friend whom I regularly play The Last of Us with. He's currently attending DeVry University and is currently working toward a degree in graphic design, It's his dream to work with you guys at NaughtyDog. What are his chances?</p> <p style="text-align: left">14. What will be your next game be?</p> <p style="text-align: left">15. Do you guys plan on making a big entrance into next-gen with your next game?</p> <p style="text-align: left">16. Is it likely you will ever return to Jak and Daxter? And do you consider The Lost Frontier canon? Basically (this is the big one), <strong>will there be a Jak 4?</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left">Thanks!</p> <p style="text-align: left">Bottom of Form</p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left">· <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/cbecogt"><strong>permalink</strong></a></p> <p style="text-align: left"><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg952/hi_were_neil_druckmann_creative_director_and/">[–]</a><a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/Neil-ND"><strong>Neil-ND</strong></a>Creative Director 692 points 5 months ago</p> <p style="text-align: left">Top of Form</p> <p style="text-align: left"></p> <p style="text-align: left">Holy shit that's a lot of questions... alright, here we go: 1) We're owned by Sony.

Do you have any plans on expanding Ish's story? 4. Have you considered adding any infected game mode in multiplayer? 5. What game was better to work on, TLOU or Uncharted?

I think you can image some crazy shit that went down between them in that world... 2. Ellie. All of Ellie. and more specifically Ally AI in stealth combat. 3. not yet, but we really liked what we found with that story-within-a-story concept. 4. we've considered it... 5. shit. both have their ups and downs (in production terms). For me U2 was my first time stepping into the game director role, so that was a fresh & exciting (maybe naive but super open) time, but TLOU was something special, and challenging. I saw a video of U2 the other day and had some pleasant feelings of nostalgia bubble up, and seeing the fan art and people's reactions to TLOU has been extremely exhilarating.

Neil & I both read it... I think back during U2 development. It's a very impactful story. yeah, it was one of many influences. mainly the lengths the father is willing to go for his son, and the darkness of the world that surrounds them. it really shines a light on the things humans are willing to give up (morally) to in order to survive. we also read City of Thieves, the movie No Country for Old Men, the movie Children of Men, and the Walking Dead comic... among some more non-fiction reads about how the world falls apart in "World without Us" and "The Last Town on Earth".... check 'em out.

One of my favorite moments in the game (alongside the giraffes and David's death) was the truck ambush in Pittsburgh, and one of the reasons for that was the music. Was Hank Williams always your choice to complement the scene, or would you have used something else in hindsight? 2. As female Hunters/cannibals/Fireflies/military exist in concept art and in the multiplayer mode, why do we only fight male humans in the game? (There are female soldiers but Joel doesn't fight them in-game) Is there any story based explanation, like keeping all the women and kids at the home base? Or was it for creative reasons, given the brutality of the combat? 3. What were some infected concepts and stages that you cut from the game? Looking at the artbook, there are a lot of concepts that seems pretty far-fetched for the universe you created, like the infected wielding tools. 4. Why are there no pictures of Sarah's mother in Joel's house? Is it because even before he lost Sarah, Joel wasn't one for holding onto the past? 5. Does Joel's last name start with an M or an N? I'm asking this because one of the ND forumers found the certificate in Joel's house with Sarah's (obscured) full name on it, and we were wondering if you had any last name for Joel in mind. 6. Regarding David: How long do you suppose it took for a man like him to lose grasp on his morals, accept the new world order as it is, and turn to cannibalism with his buddies? Furthermore given the rather hebephilic overtones of his interactions with Ellie, was this an intentional character trait or just part of Nolan North's performance? If intentional, did David always have such tastes or was that just a byproduct of post-pandemic lawless living conditions?

Not someone he looked up to to keep a picture around. 5) We didn't reveal the last name. 6) David's cannibalism came after the outbreak. His other traits (both good & bad) were always there.

Thanks for doing this AMA, and thank you and the rest of the Naughty Dog team for one of the most epic experiences gaming has brought me. My question to you is: Seeing as you've been looking over the game from the very beginning and through the development, was there anything that took you by surprise or anything you noticed when finally playing through the finished result that you were not aware of during the development? Or is it difficult to fully immerse yourself and enjoy the game after you've spent years making it?

I mean, "art is never finished, just abandoned", right? And with video game development it's even worse. But I can say when playing through the game more strung together, I teared up at moments that I KNEW were actually going to happen. That was cool! I think some of it was the relief of 3+ years and a lot of blood, sweat & tears manifest on the joystick. What a relief!

Congrats on your success! Did the team plan any combat sequences in which Joel and Ellie are pitted against both infected and humans simultaneously? Was any sequence cut from the game that either of you wish could have made the final cut?

I was [I]pumped[/I] for this game after those videos! My anticipation for this game even beat out my anticipation for [I]Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time[/I] - the first iteration of my favorite game series in 8 years! I was so excited for this game! I was convinced that the week I bought and played this game would be the best week of my summer. But then life happened. In a nutshell, the week the game launched was the week before I put my dog, Miles, to sleep. The day after I beat the game (Monday, 6/17) was the day he was taken to the vet, and that was that. I was sobbing my heart out that whole weekend. The only times I wasn't were when I was sleeping, and when I was sitting in front of my television, holding a DualShock, while Miles was chilling in his chair in the corner of the living room. Your game made that weekend go from unbearable to heart-wrenching. That may not sound like much, but it was enough to give me some peace while the hourglass was dripping ever faster. I can't express how much easier your game made that weekend. There were some parts that somewhat mirrored what was going on in my life, namely Gadget from "Boy's Diary", that forced me to take a breather, but those were also just plain beautiful moments that most games today simply can't create. I'm never not going to associate you guys with my dog, but I think it's good to have something to keep him in my memories. I believe you only truly die when everyone else has forgotten about you, so Naughty Dog will always keep Miles alive for me when I'm playing your games. And I plan on playing your games for as long as you make them. I don't want you guys to stop, just like I don't want to forget about my best friend. I've played you guys since Crash, and there's not a single game you guys and your fellow Naughty Dogs have made that I haven't played, and that will never change.

Proof (hope you guys enjoy these): [URL="http://imgur.com/XPNlSoT"]1[/URL] [URL="http://imgur.com/MMEiW85"]2[/URL] Alrighty, now to the questions: 1) I was wondering about a possible sequel to The Last of Us. I recall reading some articles that hint at one, but without going TOO much into detail, what can/could we expect from a continuation of the story? Are there any plans for changes in gameplay? 2) We also had some questions concerning the ending. [I]SPOILER ALERT[/I]. What was the thought process behind the decision to have Joel lie about the Fireflies, and were we supposed to get the impression that Ellie knew that he was lying? Will this affect their relationship in possible future titles?

Jak and Daxter is my childhood game and The Last of Us just topped it for my all time favorite game. I still want to get the Crash Bandicoots, and the Uncharteds are awesome. You guys can make a game about reading a phonebook and I will pre-order and platinum that game. Ok, now for the questions. I understand if you choose not to answer some of them. 1. Do you see yourselves ever making games for all platforms, or are you guys sticking with Playstation? 2. What was the biggest challenge NaughtyDog as a team had to go through? 3. Are you purposely making trilogy after trilogy or is that just coincidence? 4. I've read that during the development of Uncharted 3 you split into two teams, the second began working on The Last of Us. Are there still two separate teams? If so, does this mean you work on two different games simultaneously? 5. On [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/thelastofus"]/r/thelastofus[/URL] I've seen some debate on whether or not Bill is gay and if David intended to rape Ellie. So, just to put the questions to rest, are those true? 6. In The Last of Us, there are stuffed giraffes scattered throughout the game. Were these intended to foreshadow the giraffe scene or are were they just props? 7. Do you plan on making more comics after The Last of Us: American Dreams? 8. In The Last of Us were Joel and Tess ever romantically involved? 9. What exactly was running through Ellie's head at the end of the game? 10. In The Last of Us campaign, why weren't there any 3 way fights between Joel, hunters, and infected? Was it a technical issue? 11. In The Last of Us, will Infected be incorporated into multiplayer? 12. In the Last of Us, when and how does an infected become a bloater? I know the four stages (runner -> stalker -> clicker -> bloater), but it was said that when an infected feels like it's about to die it finds a corner to release more spores. So does the bloater happen before of after the spore release stage? 13. I have a friend whom I regularly play The Last of Us with. He's currently attending DeVry University and is currently working toward a degree in graphic design, It's his dream to work with you guys at NaughtyDog. What are his chances? 14. What will be your next game be? 15. Do you guys plan on making a big entrance into next-gen with your next game? 16. Is it likely you will ever return to Jak and Daxter? And do you consider The Lost Frontier canon? Basically (this is the big one), [B]will there be a Jak 4?[/B] Thanks!
