Wow.. Leaving after finishing a game, hold the presses!!
Usually people move onto different projects WITHIN the company that they're working for. They don't just leave the company after a game has been finished.
Actually, that's not true at all. It's quite common practice for development companies to get rid of a chunk of staff of all experience and skill levels after any given project, and rehire new staff completely.
I think people should really read up on how contracts work.
Not surprised. If I was a dev and had to choose between doing something creative with my time or work on another Uncharted game I would definitely jump ship like everyone else has.
Fresh ideas, Fresh concepts and an invigorating jolt of 100% balls to the wall, put that mother fucker to the floor, pedal to the metal. Awwww yeahhhhh. The BEST games are yet to come from this #legendary, top GOAT dev.

That seems to be in line with what Giant bomb has been saying (though at this point i'm starting to become suspect). Studios bulk up big for projects and it's the start of a new generation. If they wanna get creative with new stuff now's the time. Especially with the way self publishing and DD has grown. It gives them the means to do things they may have no been able to do under a big studio.
Who knows? Maybe he left for another job offer. Its no different than other businesses in that respect. Also, I would guess that developing a big budget title can be extremely stressful. Perhaps time to cool the engines a little bit.
@MBirdy88: more than 200 award >>>>>> your opinion! FACT!
Linear 10 hour shooter with no re playability value... and not even the best mechanics in their own genres.... is also a fact.
Ever heard of multiplayer? i personally spent over 100 hours on uncharted 3.
There is a difference between a fact and a fanboy and i believe you are the latter and once again, let me quote you on that titanfall avy

What the **** is going on with this studio that their big employees are all leaving?
My guess is.... Naughtydog pushed the boundaries of gameplay and style at one point..... the first uncharted and last of us were interesting.
But now the studio is getting too much fame for creating graphic-whoring linear shooters... they are forced to keep making them over and over for the bro-cow gamers .... if I was a leader in the creative role there... I would leave.... as its now devoid of any.
"Whats our next game guys" "A ZOMBIE SHOOTER REPLACE DRAKE WITH AN OLD MAN, ADD A LITTLE GIRL MAKE IT DRAMATIC" .... jesus christ.
Says the person who has a titanfall avy
Lems these days :/
Uncharted MP NEVER took off, I don't care if you like it, its mundane/mediocre at best and received that way. why would I play that MP when I can play mnany better ones, ironically Titanfall.
PC/PS4/Vita player sorry to dissapoint. linear 10 hour shooters never make the top of my lists... and are not creative,.
Mediocre? In what way? last time i checked uncharted 3 received a 9.0 here and has a meta of 92 and considering multiplayer is part of the review, it does not make it mediocre
Don't start forcing your irrelevant opinions as fact
... oh please Sweenix..... multiplayer was in Crysis 1... and it was S*it... its also in alot of games that are 9+ but still absolutely sucks. no reviewer gave a damn about the MP portions of these games, they were written off. its MP doesn't hold a candle to any of the greats.... its a mediocre pass-off... their populations are crap... even with free2play.
so no, its not just my opinion. its just common sense based on none of the big MP communities give a flying f*ck about its pathetic half-baked existence.
These games got their 9s for their flashy tech/art and presentation, excelling at absolutely nothing else as a video game.
Huh, this is pretty weird now, so many people all leaving like this, something must be going on behind the scenes. This guy actually went to my university and they constantly showed us his work because it's God damn amazing, Naughty Dog basically head hunted the guy because his work was so good, flew him to LA for an interview, that sort of thing. Seems weird that he'd want to leave after only 3 years there for no reason at all.

That may be true for low-level employees but big names stay with that company and go to different projects.
@Mr-Kutaragi: you're right..........I mean look at the concrete!!!! All fanboys are bottom feeders. Denying yourself games, for a gamer doesn't make sense.
Can't wait for lems to say that MS are "staffing up hard" at their shit studios for Kinect games.

...lol? Who cares?
Xbone can only dream of a game like TLOU and a studio like Naughty Dog.
the way people are leaving they have a studio like ND, its called Rare
Rare's been shit for ten years. ND?
Can't wait for the E3 gameplay footage to silence the shitposters.
Ten years starts some where. I'm kidding, relax cow. But it is alarming that a lot of people are leaving this studio. We will never know what is truly going on because none of us work there. I know you love Sony and they do no wrong and xbox bad. Its all going to be alright, and remember its not your fault.
Worked on TLOU, quit after it finished, by that point UC4 was two years in development. I was unaware development staff were contracted to studios for life.
Imagine if MS or EA had a dev studio as good as Naughty Dog, they might get this much attention on their personnel turnover.
