Apungar

I've played all except Golden Abyss (but I watched it as one big cutscene on Youtube.)
The first one was certainly influential and the second one raised the bar for video games as a whole, but the fourth is my favorite. Besides the technological feats, the story was incredibly gripping and the set pieces were fantastic. Really loved the relationship between Nathan and Sam as well as Nathan's struggle to balance married life and his longing for adventure.

Nathan is a great collaborator. He's very focused and very dedicated. To me, he's what every director looks for in an actor.

Thanks! Appreciate that.

Currently no plans to make more.... but we never say never.

Need to be careful with how I answer this one.

What I will say is that Naughty Dog's various members - both past and present - have been vocal on their appreciation for the piece. A colleague is friends with Amy Hennig (who wrote and directed the first batch in the series) and she was pretty thrilled. It was really nice to see all of them happy.

More than anything, I just wanted to create a love letter to the franchise and character. I was doing a film in the fall that got pushed and it left me with a window in my schedule. Rather than jumping onto another random project, I wanted to dedicate my time to something that I could really get behind and feel passionate about.
