Remember when people were "worried" about Uncharted 4?

Because ND was "bleeding talent" so something must be wrong....

Nolan North on UC4- 8mths of Hennig's story/performance work was thrown away - NeoGAF

https://youtu.be/YHWChn7AvoQ?t=18m A bit over a week ago, Nolan North did a series of Q&A panels at MetroCon and one guy finally had the balls to ask him about Amy Hennig's departure and the changes made to the game thereafter. It's probably the first time we've had someone gone somewhat in depth as to how the departure and change of teams affected the project.

Q: With Amy Hennig leaving, did they change the script at all to Uncharted 4? NN: Yeah. I can't really say too much about that...but I will. We had shot 8 months of her story and it was all thrown away. The Last of Us guys came in, and you have to understand, new producers, new people, they want to do it. I don't know what happened exactly. Amy is still a very dear friend of mine and she's brilliant but the Last of Us guys were the next team there so they took over and they just wanted their own flavour. They got rid of some of the other people that were involved and just redid their thing. Great move they made with Troy Baker (who) played my brother and they knew that was going to work because Troy and I are friends and he had done Joel and they knew he and I had good rapport. So it'll be fun, the tone I think is gonna be slightly different. It has to be, you know, you can't have a Robert Ludlum novel that's going to be the same as Steven King. It's just that they're different styles. But it's true to the story. Q: So it really hasn't affected it at all? NN: No, it's going to be along the same lines with the story but I think there'll be...I don't know. I don't know how it'll affect the how thing and to be honest I am just as curious as everyone to see what the final product will look like. I do know there's trust with the Naughty Dog designers and programmers, that place is still top notch and from the things I've seen and sound and all the stuff they've done, it's amazing. (...) It's gonna be phenomenal. I mean the story, visuals, the same wacky crew.

 

Nolan then goes on to talk about Hennig's project at Visceral but some weird wording. It's also not 1313 -

If you're a big fan of Amy Hennig with her styles of stories, the big thing bout her is that she's gone to EA and is going to reboot a brand new Star Wars franchise in the style of Uncharted and I happen to know a lot about it and it's gonna be awesome

 

I can't tell if she came in and rebooted what they had been working on or they're actually rebooting an old Star Wars game franchise.  _________________________________________ Other interesting tidbits about other games he's worked on -  As a joke, Naughty Dog replaced Chloe with Lazaravic in the hotel bedroom scene with Drake in Uncharted 2, including voice acting from McTavish. It was going to be included as a bonus on disc but Sony said no.  Assassin's Creed's original concept was Desmond to become the "ultimate assassin" by learning all the skills from his ancestors over a series of ~6 games. Nolan added he hated what Desmond had become by the end of ACIII. (https://youtu.be/5_kbIon1G98?t=34m6s) Activision prematurely cut funding to the Deadpool game. Apparently the final product was only 60% of what High Moon Studios wanted to achieve.

Interesting. If LoU guys are behind the departure then it puts the events months ago in a completely different perspective and never anything to worry about

[Cute Pikachu]

By dang I am so excited

We knew they took over long ago though lulz. Still don't know if Amy was basically forced to leave UC4 or if she quit
