[@joshcramer3578]

And now 11 years later, 25 years total, Evan Wells is leaving the company to retire. Good luck Evan! Remember the good times, forget all the rest!

[@JoaoFederle]

you can tell this is 10 years old by how open and casual the guy is talking about having crunch and people working late hours and having dinner at work lmao

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm3153]

He would be cancelled nowadays lol.

[@MrThatguyzappy]

Am I the only one who absolutely hated this guys camera work?

[@julianorozaa]

He didn't even know who Evan was lol

[@fosfode]

same

[@JoshMarshain]

Sir.Zappy I'm late but yes oh my god I hate whoever is behind the camera. He suuuuuucckkkksssss

[@aldjals54423]

Wow, that studio looks awesome. A great working environment to bring creativity to the max!

[@shahrzadketabollahi5496]

aldjals54423 Exactly.

[@cultofdis]

I hate how much the guy behind the camera interrupts. It's like he only wants to speak when the other guy does.

[@cultofdis]

Haha, and the video fades out while he's speaking, interrupting him again! Is this guy trolling?? TERRIBLE camera work and very disrespectful

[@JoshMarshain]

Principivm Angvis agree

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

ubisoft 400 people, does that really matter?!?! they shipped games for a 7.0 to 8.5 score, naughty with over 45 people they shipped masterpieces over 9 score

[@sahayayush987]

Nicolas Silva Quality over quantity

[@ronnieDaking]

deus ex got scored higher then then uncharted 4

[@JoshMarshain]

Nicolas Silva aren't the 400 people working at different studios around the world working on a number of games at the same time though? Makes sense

[@JoshMarshain]

Nicolas Silva also didn't Evan just say the dev team size was at 130 at the time? Not 45?

[@tr233]

Yeap with large team you will quickly drift in quality it just a nature of things, but i dont like how many cubicles they have its just not productive.

[@flower4536]

The crash bandicoot part of memorial lane was heaven for me

[@guitarhero174]

My soul aches for a new Jak game for ps4 :(

[@MetaBuddha]

the guy asking the questions would cut off Evan with bad questions, asked too loudly to the point where you can tell that he startled Evan multiple times

[@jaysondemarco]

Lmfao no fr

[@DESIT666]

omg you're right he scared the crap of him when they were looking at the magazines

[@DESIT666]

love how sometimes the camera guy stops walking to zoom in on something while evan is talking

[@joejohnson6722]

every game they have made has been either good or excellent. best developer in the buisness hands down

[@cultofdis]

Joe Johnson not better than Rare historically

[@axelraton5810]

R u serious?? Good or excellent?? Goddamn

[@MrSinister1990]

I'd love to work here!

[@FelipeAlves-jf1gi]

[@TheAireaidLord]

My dream is to have the jak and daxter swag!!!

[@mattcorbett9015]

Most people dont know who Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin are. Thats a shame cause of it werent for them we would have naughty dog. Crash, jak and daxter, uncharted, last of us would have never been made.

[@chiaratenconi]

Great video!

[@yobilllin9939]

[@apollowolf3970]

[@pineapplesquad6124]

[@deathwing7704]

[@LaraCroftEyes1]

Awesome video and Naughty Dog is one of best game developers for game industry.

[@bzd1983]

It must be a living hell to design video games, I'm happy to just play them.

[@aashrithmadagiri6711]

U R NOT Special I’m in high school and I take programming and it’s really difficult to even make a 5 min animation. Everything needs to be perfect and it’s difficult to do that. Imagine making a 15 hour game

[@จิรภัทรจันทร์โพธิ์-ว3อ]

concepts finally line up in my brain and...well, who knows? Maybe I'll be able to make sotNice tutorialng now.

[@adison8525]

Classic

[@jnightmare0]

good tour and questions, ino you wanted to get ur questions in but you kinda was interrupting the co president of naughty dog ....but i can understand from ur angle, also the co president of naughty dog he needs a rest and some more employees.

[@NeowiseTheOrion]

I'll try really hard to get there

[@naufalhaekal7439]

Thankyou that was ready helpful.

[@3LSonAG]

Naughty Dog is the Best Love you guys

[@swissgames]

@Ram777Ment: I am not sure, I don't think so. I mean feel free to drop them a mail and I think they probably do something like an "open day", but normally such tours are for press exclusively.

[@GCaptainGamerR]

Oh my God Jak and Daxter statue

[@kermmi8782]

How did you get a tour? I want so bad to have a tour of the place even if its just the outside!! would they give a tour for me? I'm going to L.A. for the first time and to be honest when I heard that their studio is near Santa Monica.. this is what I would rather see out of anything else.

[@lyhthegreat]

seems like everyone's away from the office

[@Kisshuthekiller]

I would gladly rob their jak collection :O

[@NoemiMoon13]

CRAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH yess :3

[@Sonicc10]

0:20 dios mio miren la espalda del tipo esta el cartel de crash bandicoot warped!

[@TheMudkip12345]

Anyone who doesn't know who Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin are isn't a Naughty Dog fan.

[@alau5643]

4:21 huge fucking face palm 🤦‍♂️ some random ass hat who knows nothing gets a tour when this is one of my biggest dreams to walk in this office n meet these guys

[@RoyalDog214]

Do you still want to meet them?

[@alau5643]

@@RoyalDog214 yes

[@wisdomincoming12]

Nerds like you are why huge companies get away with what they do. Hope you’re more of a man now but I doubt it

[@zacx6970]

Am i the only one here notice that evan is wearing Nathan Drake clothes? Haha!

[@mranonymousxs]

how do you add a sample in that you have on your mac already

[@rominaguadalupevegaalvarad3220]

project templates) and import stuff in.

[@wcostafree]

I WANT TO WORK AT NAUGHTY DOG!!!!!!

[@PashaDefragzor]

Cool office, they are developing for a consoles as I see. I've never been playing Uncharted because it console, reminds Max Payne and Tomb Rider

[@harmanjotsingh5904]

MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jjjjjjjjjj11ify]

The big statue of Jak and Daxter if fucking bad ass!

[@swissgames]

@TreasureMan123: He is a nice guy, just in desperate need of some holiday :) More or less the whole "Uncharted" team were in holiday, but he and Christoph (Balestra) had to prepare everything for the VGA reveal.

[@TechShredV0ci]

7:48 a transformers fan huh? :D

[@mamz21]

One does not walk into naughty dog and ask Chris Evans what he does!!!

[@MylzMoet210]

He said they need 2 full teams and they're at 1 and a half 0_o I need to earn my bachelors already. Naughty Dog here I come!! xD

[@TheSurgeExclusive]

[@alondrapena4319]

[@kevin27gattonero11]

You look at the comnt and is like "that's a relatable comnt" you look at the replies and lost hope in humanity

[@argha_since2006]

[@noneofyourbusiness6269]

[@mutaninff389]

[@maidencortez5325]

[@55fivefive]

Everyone had at work not making Jak 4. 10/10 every kind of mad.

[@sammy5294]

I feel like there is gonna be a r/whoosh joke here

[@laurofernandes9350]

sa for , did you find out the problem?

[@jenherjohngundran412]

All I wanted to know is how to play the soft through my headphones with a cord not Bluetooth. I take it tNice tutorials is not an option since I have

[@mariannerollon8115]

u change it to "Analog app 1 TE" to get the sa soft as Nice tutorialm. Hope tNice tutorials helped!

[@brooksparga3173]

I agree a new jak game would be bad ass like he starts out after the jak x race and then he must figure out how to get to his old home back in precursors legacy when torn tries to take over the world but must be made by naughty dog

[@joee1298]

Dude.....Have u even played jak and daxter?

[@joltagegyronicthehedgehog4911]

Joseph Elman I do play jak and daxter series some are easy and some are a little hard to beat or play ok

[@TheRainbowSMASH]

I wonder why they went from platformers to more realistic games like uncharted and last of us?

[@Darknessore11]

TheExclusiveMan Their ultimate goal from the beginning was to create video games that could be on par with the biggest summer blockbusters. The technology they had before held them back from achieving that. Jason Rubin (co-founder) in their book: "And when I sat down to play Uncharted 2: Among Thieves five years later, I realized that Naughty Dog had finally fulfilled our foundational dream: story and game interwoven seamlessly in a character action game".

[@jamifletcher8604]

Those are platform games.

[@jamifletcher8604]

U jump and climb in uncharted and there are short little puzzles in tlou

[@chili24137]

hmm, they need to hire, in like 3 or 4 years ill be out of college with a computer science degree, maybe I'll give it a shot

[@shahrzadketabollahi5496]

chili24137 Hi! So.... did you finally give it a try? Or have you changed your mind?(just asking due to my curiosity:p)

[@aaaswsheta6884]

Hey, asking the same question as Shahrazad, I'm already in an Computer Engineering Degree and my main goal in life is to Have a job at NaughtyDog. So, did you at least try to admit? (Also, asking out of curiosity XD)

[@dominykaszakrys3373]

Naughty Dog and FromSoftware are two pillars on which game industry stands...

[@fazsfaraz5]

Lol what

[@sneakysensei]

This there A office in London ? Out of a curiosity

[@TheGoldenPS1]

sneaky sensei No, this is their development studio in Santa Monica, California. Not far away from Santa Monica Studio and San Diego Studio.

[@sneakysensei]

H.Brandt hiya how are you ?Thank you so much for telling me I just really wish where was a office in London oh well easy come easy go lol anyway thank you very much for replying back to me and have an #awesome day From sensei

[@mcherifkouraiche8060]

with Ableton, soft One, Cubase and Logic and my idea about soft is why make tNice tutorialngs unlogic and difficult it it can be done easy. But

[@lyhthegreat]

why did they had ratchet and clank toys instead of crash bandicoot/jak and daxter toys?? its like they re pretending that those games did not existed..

[@swissgames]

@Ram777Ment: I would try it here: ndi-dog (at) naughty dog (dot)com Sorry buddy, but I don't think they want us to give out direct contact details for the creative director or Evan on youtube :)

[@geekgeneration]

Seems like this guy really isn't that interested in giving this tour and the person behind the camera needs to learn let people finish talking instead of interrupting them with silly questions.

[@AlexEditsBadly]

I guess I ARE ISN'T a Naughty Dog fan :P

[@retorara]

見学ツアーとかないんかなあ

[@KTAC1]

looks very basic and boring. they need to paint it or something to get some atmosphere going on

[@Somebody6789]

I'd like this video if it wasn't for the annoying camera man.

[@chivalrous86]

May u all guys down wth loose motions and hope u won't get treatment....cz u killed my favourite character ( Joel)))

[@deadlocked5337]

Jak and Nathan >>>>>> Joel
