Let’s be honest here - I read this primarily for the Uncharted/Nate Drake section.
Of course the Nate section was the best in my opinion (I just love the look of those games!) but I enjoyed the others as well.
An interesting look at the creative process behind video games. Naughty Dog has really come a long way in 30 years.

The Last Uncharted Crash, With Jak
This was a great art book.
An excellent glimpse into a future potential sci-fi property too!
Look for that!
That is my next Naughty Dog property prediction!
Mark my words, there will be a fantasy / sci-fi game in the near future.
4.4/5

The last of us and Uncharted is one of the few games I have actually finished so I wanted to see more about them.

Un golpe directo a la nostalgia si eres fan del estudio, datos interesantes sobre la inspiración y desarrollo de los juegos con increibles concept arts de los mismos.

Hard to believe that Naughty Dog has been around making games for 30 years. In that time they've created some of my favorites including the Jak series, Uncharted, and Last of Us. The book goes through each series individually, including Crash as well, and gives you lots of concept art and some background on the development. There is also an unreleased section with some concept art for Jak 4, as well as a science fiction game that was never made. Finally there is an upcoming section, which has some concept art for the highly anticipated Uncharted 4. Naughty Dog really is one of my favorite studios, so I hope they continue to do what they've been doing.

Really cool look at the Company from their early stages all the way to present day with the Uncharted and Left Behind series. Kind of a nice glimpse into the history of Video Gaming, as you can see how things have changed and watch as their company grew.

A very nice overview of the history of Naughty Dog. I really enjoyed seeing the art for the projects that were not made into games.
