T🎃he Last of Us' original co-game director has spoken about being excluded from the HBO adaptation's credi𒈔ts.
Last week on January 15, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us TV show aired its first episode on HBO. The adaptation highlighted co-game director at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog, Neil Druckmann, as instrumental in the original game's creation, but curiously left out mention🥃 of Bruce Straley, who directed the or𓂃iginal 2013 game alongside Druckmann.
when asked about his credit snub from the series. "Maybe we need unions in the video game industry to be able to protect creators."Straley worked at Naughty Dog for a colossal 18 years, becoming instrumental in the success of the Uncharted series, before finally collaborat♉ing with Druckmann to launch The Las♌t of Us, a brand new IP at the time for the studio. Straley would then work on Uncharted 4: A Thief's End with Druckmann following original director Amy Hennig's departure, but would then leave Naughty Dog shortly after.
As such, Straley ultimately left Naughty Dog years before the studio would collaborate with HBO on The Last of Us, starring Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller, and Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Straley's relationship with Naughty Dog is now described as "strained" by The LA Times, and neither Sony♚ nor HBO have responded to requests for comment regarding Straley's remarks.
The Last of Us will continue to air episodes weekly on HBO every Sunday. Recently, showrunner Craig Mazin revealed The Last o🍷f Us series c💦ould eventually explore the Seraphites, and other elements not seen in the original game, that made their debut with 2020's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us 2.
