OK, ND. You can stop sucking yourselves off now and just wait for reviews, yeah?

Yep. Was going to mention that too. Have Flock of Seagulls made a comeback? I thought that ridiculous shit died in the 80's?

Being fair... the Halo franchise invented the self congratulatory "Dev Diary", and everyone seems to do it now.

I don't mind them if they focus on showing how a game is made. It's when they become "we did this, we're awesome!" and "we changed people lives. I'm gonna cry now." bollocks that does my box in.

??? They said it validates the work they do when they get feedback on how important the games are to some of their fans. Sounds legit. I think you are being a bit cynical. Either way, by the standard by which something might generally be admitted to be awesome, I think ND have achieved that recognition. They are good at what they do. I didn't see nor hear any baseless boasting.

Some gamers love watching their games but I prefer to play them. ND has done a great job in making the graphic, animation and story better each game. Can't say the same for the gameplay.

Here's hoping that they've done as much improvement in gameplay as good as the movie. That is what we are playing right?

Depends on how high you rate their games, doesn't it?

I just so happen to not rate them as highly as others. Their best game is arguably the Last of Us. Great game. Not the best game ever made, but good. Certainly not "The Citizen Cane of gaming" as it was touted as. Whatever that means.

Love these U4 diaries and also love your website guys. Can't find the quality of game videos you guys offer elsewhere. Is there any possibility you're going to upload the animated shorts for Overwatch in HD? Thanks either way ;)

I'll address the Bungie comment first: I think it's a little different here because they seem to release one a day for Uncharted. An exaggeration to be sure but they are super frequent. Bungie would do a couple over the entire marketing campaign of the game.
That said, I suspect this is just Sony pushing the game HARD because they have so much riding on EVERY major software title because they are so far behind MS in terms of quality exclusives (regardless of if they are to on person's tastes or another, you cannot deny that MS just has more high profile releases out/coming).
I like dev diaries, but I also do think the PACING has been pretty crazy for this stuff form this game.

You mean not to your taste. You cannot decide the quality of a game for the industry, only for yourself. The rest is observation and not concrete even then.

Naughty Dog can do what they want like praising themselves in dev diarys and having outrageous 80s haircuts. They are gods among us mere mortals. Who are we to criticize gods?

The Last of Us is the Citizen Kane of gaming imo. Best game I have ever played.

They have been working on this for 4,5 years, i think there are allowed to be proud of their work, even if the game ends up being disappointing to some people.

lol rekt.

Naughty Dog never seizes to amaze me, and honestly this game is the only reason I'm keeping my PS4 around (other than being my dedicated Twitch/Plex player in my living room)

Interesting video! A little skeptical though at the same time, it's mostly tiny clips about the story. not showing any spoilers is great, but nearing so close to launch there should be a gameplay blowout. most games usually have a blowout of single player gameplay at this close. MGS:TPP, fallout, the witcher, RTR, ect. they're probably reception critical at this close, which is understandable to say the least.

Cool!

Also, that man's hair in the video 30 seconds in... if he likes it that way then alright but i would cut that hair down a bit and slick it back if i was him.

So you are taking upon yourself to use critics quotes of praises to diminish Naughty Dog because they made FOUR dev docu vids which recounts the developers both creative and staff talking about their journey making and sharing their game?

You may not think their games are great then what are?

Apparently on the software and hardware front, Naughty Dog not only developed a way to push technical watermarks but along the way they got praise from gamers and on PS3 their games didn't even sell huge numbers because the hype wasn't there...CoD series was taking the thunder of any good or great games.

Also it sounds like you do mind...like you have a personal problem...otherwise you would have watched their videos and understood what they said...or are you a game dev? Please share your game so we can judge it and give you your medicine.

Gameplay has not improved at all over the previous games. I will never buy ND games again. I'd rather just watch a walkthrough without comments on youtube this time.

Have to disagree with you there, i played U4 beta and went back to playing the trilogy on the PS3. The difference is significant and the first 3 games hasn't aged well when it comes to gameplay mechanics.
