Maybe it's a good thing, I enjoyed Golden Abyss more than Uncharted 3. It's sad that he's leaving, but I feel like the series needs some fresh blood. I want the series to be more about adventure than shooting bad dudes. There are enough non-stop action games out there already.
This is fine. Although Uncharted 2 is (in my opinion) one of the greatest games ever made, 3 really wasn't that great. Good, certainly, but couldn't live up to the second. It could only go down from there.
I'd be sad about this, but I've got nothing but respect for people who try to pass on their knowledge.
Good luck!
Good luck!
I'd be mad, but the header image is just gold. I can't be mad. I feel I should, instead, contribute!
I think this is good news, because it means someone in charge of the most well crafted single player campaigns in gaming is going to be teaching new developers how to do it right. Only good things can come of that.
Well this can only mean good things for the gaming world.
I'm also pumped to hear him say Uncharted isn't meant to be viewed as a trilogy!! More Uncharted makes me more happy!

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I enjoy some aspects of Uncharted, but the transparent, Kill box design where there is simply no way to advance other than shoot 40 dudes is pretty dated.
Meh I feel like he has too much credit for what happened.
I mean someday someone with actual film making skills is going to make a game that uses the correct angles and editing transitions to subconsciously tell the gamer what to do and feel.
I am just upset that it was not me...

I always love to have a lecturer that has professional experience in the related field.
I can imagine Richard Lemarchand goes into class and say
"Students, name one video game that is very successful."
"Uncharted !!!"
"Yep, and I am part of the game designer, now shall we begin the first lesson?"

I don't get it. Why teaching over making games when you have such credentials? I've never heard of a satisfied creator.
Always sad to see someone influential like that leave the industry, but I imagine he will be back someday. And if not, his students will carry on some of his legacy via his tutelage.

Sometimes you just need a new challenge. The way things are looking Naughty Dog is probably stuck making nothing but Uncharted from here on in.
Despite how much we've romanticized the games industry, making the same game over and over grows dull all the same as any other repetitive job.
It's also likely the teaching job pays a heck of a lot more, has a better pension, job security and perks. Summers off anyone?
Game design is hard, grueling work. Teaching is kind of cushy in comparison. I can see why he made this choice. He hit the height of his career then bowed out. Can't do much better than that!

At the risk of sounding assy, I've said it once and I'll say it again: No matter how high up you are on the totem pole, game development at this level is a collaborative effort that isn't completely on the shoulders of any one human being. Naughty Dog will survive this.
Its not to say I don't wish him luck, I do, I just don't think its a big deal to anyone other then him, his family and possibly the people he's worked, and became close, with over the years.
Besides folks, face it, a teaching position just about anywhere has got to have more job security then any developer in the industry could possibly promise. That kind of stability isn't something to take lightly.
