Craig Mazin, the Writer-Producer of the upcoming HBO adaptation forThe Last of Us, wasasked on Twitterto weigh in on the recently released sequel to the Naughty Dog title,The Last of Us Part II. He decided to give his thoughts in no uncertain terms:
It reassuring that someone who is currently working closely with the series director Neil Druckmann has such a love for the games, as that love will be reflected in the final product. Not only in terms of his passion itself being poured into the series but how he’ll break down and adapt those elements he loves – narrative, characters, and theme – into the script.
The Last of Us Part IIsound designer also recently took to Twitter to detail the processbehind voicing the various Infectedenemy types, as well as crediting the talented voice actors who gave performances for them.
Naughty Dog has been in the hotseat for quite some time concerning its own issues with the unfortunately common industry “crunch.” According to Druckmann ina new interview: “We donât try to babysit people. We draw people who want to tell these stories and who want to leave a mark on the industry. And theyâre gonna work very hard to do it. We need to put some guardrails [in] so they donât injure themselves, but I donât think we could prevent them from working hard and still make the kind of games we make.”
