Naughty Dog, a key game studio for Sony, is celebrating 40 years of making games. It started small – founded by two teenagers, Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin – and has grown into a major developer. To mark the occasion, Naughty Dog released a new video looking back at their most popular games and hinting at what’s to come.
Gavin and Rubin talk about how the company started, going all the way back to their school days. While the video briefly mentions some of their first, now less well-known games like Rings of Power and Way of the Warrior, it really highlights the launch of Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter as the moment Naughty Dog truly took off.
The retrospective then highlighted the studio’s focus on cinematic, action-packed games, starting with Uncharted in 2007 and continuing through titles like The Last of Us Part 2. They also offered a sneak peek at their upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. During the presentation, studio manager Alison Mori stated her confidence that the studio will keep making impactful, story-driven games centered around relatable characters and the human condition.
Rubin expressed hope that Naughty Dog will continue to create high-quality, meaningful entertainment, staying true to its storytelling vision in the future.
As a big fan, I was really interested to hear Gavin’s thoughts on how the Crash Bandicoot remakes didn’t quite live up to their potential. It was also a bit surprising to learn Neil Druckmann took a step back from The Last of Us show to concentrate on games at Naughty Dog. Now he’s hinting that their new project, Intergalactic, is going to have incredibly deep gameplay, which is super exciting! Sadly, we still don’t know when it’s actually coming out, though.
