Say Anything About The Game You're Currently Playing...

It is crazy. Uncharted 2 was so advanced for its time but even nowadays where an indie team can pull off the same tech and production, it's just such a high quality package.

I think 90% of writers and directors just really suck at their jobs 

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.

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.
