Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann Clarifies Comments About New PlayStation Game

Naughty Dog boss Neil Druckmann recently had some of his words shared in a"Creative Entertainment Vision" post put together via an in-house interview with Sony about the"future of entertainment" among other topics wherein he was quoted as saying the next game he was working on could"redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming." But according to a clarification from Druckmann shared afterwards, it seem he never actually said those words.

In the Sony interview, Druckmann was asked if there was a vision or project that he hoped to see realized in the realm of entertainment. Druckmann answered by saying there was a"new appreciation for gaming" spurred on in part by TV and movie adaptations of games that put the properties in front of more people that otherwise wouldn't have experienced it.

Most of his answer was about those kinds of new entry points for gaming and how they could make someone interested in the hobby that otherwise wouldn't have known something as engrossing as The Last of Us or Fallout was based on a game.

"So, I'm not only excited for this game that we're making – and it's, it's something really fresh for us – but I'm also excited to see how the world reacts to it," he said."Because of The Last of Us, and the success of the show, people even outside of gaming are looking at us to see what it is that we put out next. I'm very excited to see what the reaction for this thing will be – and I've already said too much about it. I'll stop there.

It's also been pointed out that the published interview removed his comments about adaptations where he said he finds these kinds of cross-medium successes exciting but"not because games need to be movies, or they need to be TV shows, but I think it just kind of opens the eyes of a bunch of people that just weren't aware of the kind of experiences that exist in games.
