They ”talk to those guys a lot” over at Naughty Dog and Santa Monica, and enjoy trying to outdo one another technically. They’re gunning for ‘em.
”We need to, right?” said Guerrilla Games boss Hermen Hulst to VG247, asked if they are aiming for Uncharted’s Naughty Dog and God of War’s Santa Monica.
”That’s what we do. We talk to those guys a lot, both the Santa Monica team and the guys at Naughty Dog, and that’s the little game between us as friends of the studios.” The studios are forever in an arms race with another, to develop the best tech level game.
”Yes, we do that, but then again they’re working on their next games and they’re going to have to do better again. So absolutely: we need to do that.” As for Killzone 3’s multiplayer, ”we can safely say we’ve addressed pretty much every wish list out there,” he teased.
Naughty Dog is certainly leading the pack for technical achievement with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves as it is perhaps the best out there for efficient use of the PS3.
Good luck Guerrilla Games.
