Sorry, this wasn't the best thread for them. It's not really about the videos themselves. Just that there's a lot of drama - there's a lot of pushback where people are questioning a lot of Pirate Softwares life.

The code stuff is particularly silly. There's not even evidence that some of the code is even being used anywhere. I have some really bad code too.

I have even seen a video that he's supposedly faking his voice. He has a story that he tells that he had second puberty, so his voice is lower now. But there's some segment where his voice goes back to what it used to be, and he panics and he seemingly adjusts something on his computer and it's back.

The drama is  more and more annoying. I'm seeing followups to followups. "This is the response to the response to the response to the response".

It's funny how the guy is getting more and more hated. I've seen so many channels attacking him.

I watched a bit of the video, but in general I'm not a fan of shaming people for their code. End result of the code is all that matters.

Yeah shame it's not Sci-Fi or a new IP. But let's see. I wonder what it is. Saw some comments that people were hoping for an The Order 1886 sequel.... Honestly ... I wouldn't mind at all.

That sure would be unexpected. Doubt the ip is worth reviving though.

I think it'll be something from the 90s, a niche nugget to an otherwise origional world. Like Polygon Man.

I'm still on Episode 7 or 8. Just over 30 hours so far. Played somewhat last weekend but hope to play a shame ton this weekend.  Suppose to be cloudy and rainy here so good excuse to stay in all day.

Great ending, incredible game. I just wish early and mid were also as awesome.

Okay so we have even more new information on Santa Monica's new game from Jason Schreier.

- It's not a new IP but something unexpected and will feel like a new IP.

- It's not Sci Fi

- It's not a licensed property. pic.twitter.com/npadFbqzYc

For me, it just kind of reaffirms the complaints I've been making about the industry. 

The AAA space is hit with a lot of bloat, and probably a lot of issues that few people are really publicly talking about. 

But there are plenty of AA games that have similar or even bigger budgets to Uncharted 2. 

It just feels like no one is making a game with this kind of scope. A lot of games are trying to compete with bigger - even if they shouldn't and they don't have the resources, and most indie devs naturally have to make something much smaller.

I don't think it was that they suck at their job. It's that it was one of the best teams in the world at the time. Sure indies can have the same tech, but they don't have the same resources or level of quality that ND had.

It's crazy to think they pulled it off in 2 years though. That and with a fantastic multiplayer

Uncharted 2 was made by 85 people on the Naughty Dog side.

Making a game like Uncharted 2 felt in 2009 would of course be very very hard in every way. Making a game like Uncharted 2 feels in 2025 however really does just require a great smallish team.
