Naughty Dog is not averse to returning to its roots and creating a cartoon game for the PlayStation 5, but there is one “but”

Command Naughty dog, in recent years best known for franchises such as The last of us and Uncharted, do not mind to return to their roots and create some kind of bright family game, similar in spirit to the classic trilogies Crash Bandicoot and JakNevertheless, it is not at all easy to implement this, and the problem lies in the banal limited resources – the studio is extremely attentive to the production of any of its projects.

The relevant detail in a conversation with the publication GameInformer shared by Naughty Dog executives Evan Wells and Neil Druckmann

“If we had unlimited resources and time, it would be very cool [поработать над новой семейной игрой]… Just look at Insomniac Games and the Ratchet & Clank series – it’s extremely entertaining. It’s just nice to see games like this. But we are very limited in time, I am already 48 years old, and it is difficult to say how many projects still lie ahead of me. You have to prioritize and choose, “explained Evan Wells.

“When we finish working on a new game, we always allow ourselves to spend enough time in order to determine the further course of development – are we going to create something completely original, or are we going back to existing franchises. If we showed you our folders with concept art … you would be greeted by a collection of all kinds of illustrations. We often look at the available options and ask ourselves: what fascinates us the most? Will it make us grow, help us push the boundaries of the industry even further? That kind of inspiration and passion is essential when it comes to several years of active work, “added colleague Neil Druckmann.
