Microsoft: Naughty Dog Is "A Special Studio"

http://n4g.com/news/1441443/microsoft-on-1st-party-studios-naughty-dog-is-a-special-studio-they-are-unique

Now, if they could just stop trying to break the law with their dubious PR stunts I might actually believe the good guy routine.

Translation we wish we had invested in them damn you Sony.

But Valves better.

yeah

Indeed. Makers of 2 top 5 games in all video game history. Special indeed. We are humbled by your greatness Naughty Gods. I'd like to give a special shout out to SONY for all the support they give Naughty Gods. Thank you Sony.

Lol even the chiefs of MS admit, playstation has the best exclusive games.

TLHBO

Inb4 butthurt lemmings

One of the best studios in the business. 2 games in Meta's top 5.

Translation: "We have been bribing them for a while now and they arent biting, we wont give up tho"

The PS3 was my Naughty dog console and the PS4 will also be my ND console.

TLHBO.

"B...bu...bu...but Uncharted is overhyped!!1"

Even M$ can't deny the awesomeness of Naughty Gods.

we've been over this, don't make me destroy your silly arguments again, no one even cares about valve as developer anymore.

LOL, Valve.

Try again if the release Half-Life 3.

Yes. These companies are not fanboys. They can acknowledge a good studio, or game when they see it.

Unlike the drones that support them.

@uninspiredcup: lol no...not even close

@freedomfreak: clap clap clap.

Eh, the only relatively decent-sized developers that are making really *unique* titles are companies like Double Fine and Media Molecule.

Naughty Dog is just really consistently good. That puts them with developers like Bungie, Valve, Nintendo, Turn 10, R*, and similar. ND hasn't really released any duds. Or, not for some time.

Naughty Dog makes 2 shitty Tomb Raidery games. Valve revolutionizes digital distribution, indie gaming, free2play, early access. Creates a diverse 90+ metacritic game collection and practically invented all the scripted sequences games these days do badly (Naughty Dog included, obv).

Valve are better. You young console people need to learn some dam respect rather than flavor of the moment, it's sickening.

exactly

Yes valve is was great but clearly they have not matched ND lately as a game developer. There can only be one and ND is that one right now. There are contenders but there is only one champ.

Valve is the most overrated piece of shit dev in the business. The source engine sucks balls and Although I'm a fan of half life series, that only allows them to get away with so much...

They're so jelly because they have zero talented teams. Sony has epic devs like ND. The only thing MS has is 1 month exclusive CoD dlc's lolol.

What has Naughty Dog done? Nothing. Flavor of the moment. For small minds.

You must have bumped your head and forgot what valve has done for pc gaming. People are still playing TF2 online if that is not greatness I don't know what is ??

I just went to steam and there are over 54 thousand people playing right now down from over 63k earlier.

Not even a bit shocking you're twisting his words, lol. You remain consistent:) Back on topic, nothing at all wrong with giving kudos to a great dev. Turn 10, Remedy, Bioware, and Bethseda are right there as well in my eyes.

The young console people play Call Of Duty every 12 months. They have no interest in Valves masterpiece (that is vastly superior to any Naughty Dog title).

Oh shit over 72k are online right now in counter strike global offensive on steam. Yeah valve is great what other FPS got legs like that ??

Gotta give credit where credit is due The last of us was Godly easily one of the best games of all time a instant classic. I talk shit about consoles but I have a ps3 and a ps4 for exclusives just like that.

Valve is crap, hermits must be snorting paint chips again

Wrong. They are the best.

Well, I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion, yours just seem to always be really stupid

Orly Team fortress 2 came out in 2007 and it's still one of the most popular FPS actively played today. Had over 63k playing online today alone. I will wait and you tell me how many people are playing your favorite old school console game today lmfao.

At least if he was going to troll be funny.

TLHBO how? lol man cows are so lame

Nice to see another fellow manticore here.

@uninspiredcup: how many games has valve released in the past 5 years? Left 4 dead and portal? Lol. Half life is an amazing franchise but they have literally abandoned the franchise. This thread is about developers, not about steam and valves other endeavours. ND has released more games in the past 5 years and games of a superior quality. This is a fact.

Dota 2, Global Offensive, Alien Swarm

They were better before they made TPS linear shooters.

Honestly, I give credit to their art and animation departments.... thats about it. and ofcourse the programmers that make it happen.

Only 2 of the biggest PC games, DoTA 2 and Counter-strike GO... you know, DoTA 2 being bigger than any console exclusive, has massive tournements, skill based and great production values.

Butthurt lemming confirmed.

Naughty Dog > Xbox devs

Great shame they don't make games anymore....

They are indeed amazing and Sony should for sure keep them close as many other studios would want them exclusively

It's called being a good first party studio. Something Microsoft USED to have.

pretty much, valve has done a lot for the gaming world, i love steam, but as developers they are not even close to ND, and im guessing since uninspiredmoron uses the word "young" a lot you are either a kid or a really stupid old guy.

This is very true.

Glad we agree

Yep they are amazing

I wonder if people will ever realize that apart from production values and presentation, ND isn't that special.

Uncharted 1 wasn't that good, guys.

@mbirdy88: oh you mean the games that NDs completely destroyed in metacritic reviews? How many goty awards did those games win? Face it, when it comes to games development ND >>> Valve
