She made Uncharted what it is, I loved how Nolan appreciated her when he won the best actor for Uncharted 4

[@cammyplayer]

God, I love when developers are guests. I could listen to Amy forever

[@thiefswiller]

Me too :D

[@mr-bushido6636]

Yeah for sure, I'd like to know more about it from another point of view .....

[@shrewmastercomics]

i listened to her on a podcast that i cant for the life of me remember the name of. but it was great.

[@DakotaToDk]

Amy knows games. she’s such a great director. so sad we didn’t get to see her Star Wars project :(

[@jdt1981]

Yes, I'm still sad that EA canceled her Star Wars game.

[@ZoomingOut402]

The corporate assholes in Armani suits dont care about good writing. Fuck EA and fuck disney too

[@shafaatoo9328]

Fuck EA. I get so salty everytime i think about that, at least we got Jedi Fallen order, thank God. Disney and EA Star Wars is the worst timeline for the Star Wars franchise lol

I love how Troy talks to the guest the whole time while Nolan is so focused on the game he barely says anything lol a true gamer

[@devinforman8213]

😂 he be in the zone. Notice his gameplay gets better too.

[@agentandrewmiltonpinkerton9818]

To the guest? SHE WROTE THE 3 GAMES! And is far better than neil

Exactly i do the same. Im trying to beat the game lol.

[@Neo2266.]

Nolan got so good at this, he’s really good at some of the intense fight scenes, he even makes them look good

[@TimFisheroo]

Watching him go from the first game to this it's a huge, huge improvement. Good for him!

[@Karl666Smith]

he is still cant run and move camera at the same time, but its propably clunky uncharted1-2's controls

@@Karl666Smith controls always sucked but uncharted 4 is perfect.

[@shafaatoo9328]

@@Karl666Smith Yeah uncharted1 and 2 is awkward to control, 3 made it way better after the aiming patch, and 4 is perfection

[@hiddenassassin3233]

I hope these two realise how much of a positive impact they had on people childhoods by bringing our favourite characters to life.

[@GenerationWest]

Amy Hennig bringing some more info about one of her great masterpieces. Didn't k,now that the monastery was gonna be SO LONG, because with the puzzle section, I was there for hours. Also Chole and Elena walking animation really cleared some questions i've always had.

[@FirstPlace97]

what walking scene are you referencing?

[@MelodicQuest]

The acting is so good that these characters feel like actual people. Elena is very focused and goal-oriented so her run is just a means to get her to where she needs to go. Chloe on the other hand, like to play up her sexuality and keep people guessing so she accentuates those features a bit more even when she doesn't mean to.

[@FirstPlace97]

@@MelodicQuest Good analysis

[@GenerationWest]

My Steve Blum is my LONGEST one, besides the Mark Hamill one, and eventually, i'll have to update those.

[@GenerationWest]

I was working on templates for him and others months ago, but YT issues have stopped development for the time being, and trying to fix it for months now.

[@RarelyEvenn]

Wow, Amy Hennig! She's like Yoda. The wise master of Uncharted.

[@GabrielKnightz]

Before we go into the next year, can we just acknowledge how much better Nolan has gotten. He doesn't get flustered as often, much more relaxed body language, naturally reading the map and the situation. Here's to you my man and Troy. And the best gaming mom that ever was :) Happy Newyear.

[@wtatsea]

Her voice is so comforting for some reason

[@Parker--]

"Tibetans only have two names." "Like Italians." 😂 That's two great lines.

[@dooleh84]

Tenzin and Pema, Vinny and Tony.

[@thegamermansion27]

So awesome. Troy and Amy are discussing about how the game was born. And Nolan is happily playing the game. So beautiful .

[@BSAArklay]

Amy is so in touch with gaming. This is the second time now she has explained to me what I dislike about modern gaming before I could even figure it out for myself. Reffering to the overlonged padded plot. Its criminal Amy is not consistently putting out new games.

[@DOOMSDAYtm]

i think Troy's favorite quote from Last of Us is "Bye bye dude!" cuz i feel he says it at least once an episode

[@dontsubscribe7175]

Read this as he said it lol. I like his commentary though.

[@MelodicQuest]

It's the first scene he recorded for The Last Of Us and the first one he did with Ashley Johnson. It's not the line itself he loves so much it her delivery.

[@NotMakada]

Dude, it is ALL that the guy says, it's really anoying.

[@LikeVapor65]

That talk about longer games being an issue was so real, I’ve played so many that while at first I thought were so cool, by the end of the story or whatever goal in mind, I was relieved that I beat it. And the sad part is what’d get me back into a game that way would be ANOTHER long ass title. Reminds me of that Sequelitis vid where Ego said a good puzzle will end with you going “woah, the door opened!”, instead of, “fucking finally, the door!” Amy Hennig knows where it’s at.

[@andersaavatsmark8034]

Amy: We would have like 20 minutes of cutscenes back to back. Its good to let it breathe Hideo Kojima: Laughs in japanese

[@jabr0nidave262]

Dude Nolan was gaming this episode 👏🔥

[@thedreamcapture2681]

he has GOT GOOD.

[@fadzilnoir]

Nate: Thanks for the rope boys Uncle Noly: Thanks for the rope boys Troy: He did it better Hahahaha

[@blues1111]

I love how you can see Nolan getting familiar with the game

[@jonathanwilson7949]

I love hearing Amy’s anecdotes and insights. Great job guys!

[@jdt1981]

They could have Amy Hennig on every week and I would never get sick of it, her and Emily Rose are my favorite guests when they play Uncharted.

[@jessicawalton4690]

Schaffers just dying and they’re there like discussing paris 😂😂

[@kratosgow342]

I think if that was air after the VA passed away the conversation would be completely different

[@BenPole90]

The moment Amy came on- Nolan absolutely bossed one of the hardest parts of the game! I mean I know it’s on easy- but, still! Uncle Noly is for sure cool Uncle Noly now!

[@martynpotter21]

42:30 Drake: Argh, this one's in the wrong spot. Nolan: Yes, Nate, thank you for that. Dunno why, but I found that really amusing.

[@Ravenite456]

Nolan literally arguing with himself.

[@roxydzey]

Ye i love when he talks to himself too lol

[@ForeverDegenerate]

Troy: "Don't shoot them. Maybe you can stealth past them." Me: "Nope. He has to go up those stairs they're guarding that lead to that tree. Kill 'em all!"

[@MarcTRussell]

ForeverDegenerate “dont use the RPG”...NO! use every fucking weapon they give you even if you empty it!!

[@zap9124]

Past few episodes of the Uncharted 2 playthrough have had great guests who were a part of the game. Love it RR crew. Keep it up!

[@speedwaynutt]

Hope everyone had a good Christmas.

[@stellarhunterpigplus]

So glad to see Amy again. I am grateful for her work in Uncharted series. I really missed her in the last Uncharted 😉

[@Burentsu]

Man, watching them play and talk about the behind the scenes stuff makes me want to go back and play the trilogy again.

[@thedreamcapture2681]

damn here we go for the 15th time.

[@SolidGeordieMGS]

Yeah, same! The problem for me though is I've been on PC the past 2 years.... damn exclusives...

Nolan's grenade throwing skillz are lit! 😄👌🏻

[@gamerstu8559]

THE LEGEND that is Amy Hennig you guys are killing it with the guests!!

[@quinnmarchese6313]

im listening to amy talk about making these games with Troy Baker (absolutely surreal), while Uncle Noly is actually getting better at reading where to go in-game and its so cool. its already so much easier watching this episode than the first

[@KillerLatin30]

Can someone PLEASE teach Nolan how to properly use L3 & R3 for crying out loud. Like for real. It would be so useful for Nolan in gunfights especially when he has to switch shoulders to find better angles to shoot people and most importantly ZOOM IN on weapons using the R3. So I beg you @retroreplay , to properly teach him. Doesn’t take no more than 2 minutes... -sincerely a beloved Retro Replay fan who wants Nolan to have it easier in gameplay. 🤝

[@ForeverDegenerate]

THANK YOU!

[@madmajek]

@@ForeverDegenerate Especially because that's one of the things that Uncharted series did so much better than other games. One of my favorite features( that should be in all 3rd person shooters but it's not. FU Mass Effect)

[@benschroeder4036]

And while we're at it...the reload mechanic. So you don't charge into a firefight with one bullet left in your clip...

[@LudicrouslyLiam]

I love hearing Amy's thoughts on game design, so interesting.

[@Number1SensFan]

"Square for reload, square for reload" *punches the air* I'm convinced that Troy has to be trolling him at this point lol... Thanks for uploading so consistently guys, makes coming home from work on Mondays a lot better!

[@olesams]

I gotta say. I have never played Uncharted (and never will). But! Watching Nolan North tell stories and all that is very entertaining. What is the peak of this series though, is watching Mr. North improve! I honestly cheered at my screen when he perfectly took out those guys at 22-23 minutes! (And immediately felt embarrassed for shouting at my inanimate computerscreen) It is a joy to watch. Go north, Mr.North. All the way. Or something.

[@scarlettkara2762]

I echo this statement all the way -- I don't have the console for it, but man, watching Uncle Noly improve at his own game is epic

[@Neo2266.]

I knew that Uncharted is one of the most detailed game series, with so much heart put into it, but I had no idea it went as far as for the creative director to LEARN OTHER LANGUAGES! That’s insane If only there were more people so enthusiastic about their projects as Amy Henning

[@ReceitaFederal2]

Loved to hear Amy I hope she stays for the next one :)

[@B1GG1N]

I really enjoy when Amy is the guest. Her insight about the game is fascinating.

[@SleepyDroid]

I love the line "You're right everything you touch turn to shit" laugh at that.

[@kendwick0343]

Absolutely nothing to apologise for Amy 😊 I love the long levels it gives a real sense of achievement when you complete them. Love it 👍👍😊😄

[@thewitcherwiggle9816]

I’m so fucking proud of Uncle Noly. His skills on the stick have come so goddamn far from when they started playing Drake’s Fortune. We gonna kick it up to the crushing difficulty for part 3? I think Noly can do it!!

[@SiikkIndividuaL]

Uncle Noley is improving i'm impressed. *claps*

[@kdunc]

I just finished the entire uncharted series like a week ago and I am so glad I found this replay. I plan on watching all of them. Nolan is getting better and better each episode. My wife is doing a play through right now and people forget how hard it can be getting used to these controls. Love this replay and love the uncharted series. Thanks for making these videos.

[@robertcorr6971]

Nolan's getting a lot better

[@crystalp2312]

Awesome! Amy is such a treasure. She really has incredible vision for games. I wish someone would let her revive her Star Wars game. Amazing lady! Love you guys 💖

[@michaeltoler9648]

this was a fun one. its so awesome to see nolan really get comfortable with the controls and not struggle as much through some of these levels. especially learning playing as himself! what a cool experience for him

[@caelansloper2891]

I'm proud of you, Nolan, you've improved so much. You're not just button mashing that much any more, you've got the reflexes down.

[@moonstrike100]

yes!!!! so much respect for Amy Henning!!!

[@eiadtarabulsi]

Thanks to Nolan North, Troy Baker and Amy Hennig for making this awesome video possible. Having a guest on the show is always a major plus, especially when it's a developer, because he or she can offer some insight and info about the game. I'm absolutely loving this series. Keep it up!

[@tskwerl]

I'll take a hundred more videos just like this.

Yay, the return of Amy! What a treasure and a fount of knowledge. Super awesome lady. Also, can we talk about how much ass Nolan is kicking? Wowzers.

Man. I was originally commenting about that missed jump in the courtyard, but when he fell that 2nd time around the 32 minute mark,.. that one hurt. Especially because I missed that jump twice as well xD

[@Lunacamomila]

Amy is back! It’s always so interesting to hear her thoughts on Uncharted. And Nolan has improved so so much! Anyways happy new year guys! 😊❤️

[@zsuwolf]

I absolutely love having Amy around. She gives us great insights into game making, and quite frankly I think she is one of the greatest storytellers of video game history. It's an honour and a pleasure listening to her. The fact that she has not been glitched back means that she'll be back in the next episode, right?

[@thierryengelkamp]

Amy Hennig is such an interesting woman and a great guest!

[@ashleyryan1]

Discussion about completing games: personally I think it's all about what you prioritize. If you truly want to finish a game you will make the time. Even if that means you play 20-30 minutes every other week or whatever amount of time you divide the game into. It's possible. I manage full-time work and school, but I still finish games occasionally because I want to finish them. We make time for priority stuff.

[@Sphinxx_92]

Another great episode guys! I love hearing more behind the scenes stories from Amy

[@GGMattt]

48:20 gave me my first proper belly laugh of the day :') Amy is fascinating to listen to with all of her back stories for the games.

[@Zhamp0]

You nailed the firefights this time Nolan. kudos!

[@Gbomb82]

Amy is like the godfather (godmother?) of my gaming life. I can't thank her enough for some of the most memorable and replayable gaming experiences I have ever had. I also get the sense she kicks absolute ass at D&D and if Troy ever broadcasts a session of that, I'm so in.

[@dalepeters3841]

"Square for reload" I mean, you aren't wrong for a majority of games.

Uncle Troy : Jajaja you got an ashtray that crack me up , Amy : there was a early version i think his name was Simon Tov but it was like Seamen Tob , Uncle Troy : thats gonna get killed jajaja . Amy : the biggest part of the team is the art team of the environment , i think what always like about Amy its how clear the ideas she have when making the games its really amazing as artist myself it gives me a lot to think and use for , from the experiences and storys she tells . Im always happy when Amy is in the Retro Replay house , Uncle Noly is really doing a great job

[@JZStudiosonline]

Troys question about completion percentages are pretty trackable on PS4 through trophies. It's actually shocking how low completion trophies are. I'm not even talking about the 100% trophies, just the finish the games one. I think even God of War 2018 had something like 5-10% of people not even make it to the first fight with the stranger, and that's within an hour of gameplay. That game is single player only as well, so it's not like Call of Duty where people will skip the campaign and only play multiplayer.
