The Art of Naughty Dog (Close Look and Overview)

This is a close up close up look at an awesome art book detailing a lot of Naughty Dogs history and giving you a sneak peak at kick ass concept art. It's pretty sweet, and you should pick it up yourself if you're a huge ND fan. And if not, live vicariously through this video. It's a win win basically.

That last game Naughty Dog did some artwork for (5:28) Seems interesting. And it is really amazing to see how far Naughty dog has come. Cheers !

Oh my, I had been waiting for this video for ages! Good to see it finally is here! I might invest in one of these books actually...  

It's actually quite upsetting to see that all of that work on Jak 4 was scrapped.. The J&D series was, is, and always will be my favourite franchise of all time. The 1st one was very cartoonish, more child oriented, the 2nd delved into a darker story, and the 3rd one was the perfect middle ground of action, story, gameplay, and it showed a more matured Jak (with the intro of Light Jak). That being said, I feel like I've grown up with Jak as a character, and I would have really loved to have seen a more realistic version of him... I suppose we did get Uncharted and TLOU instead, but beggars cannot be choosers I guess. Thanks for the awesome video Ryan <3

i dont mind realistic Jak, but realistic Daxter is just ...

[jimjamespaultyrone]

You know what'd be great? If they made both a realistic and old school cartoony Jak 4. Make one last cartoony one then, reboot with realism. Or you know...a demo to see what people would think ONCE THEY PLAYED IT at least. They can TOTALLY keep the awe of Jak and Daxter and their world, creatures and eco, I think.

I'm so mad they didn't finish jak 4 one of my favorite game franchises ever

[nico]

I'm buying this too! Its awesome.

[MINETORIALS]

I really hope naughty dog just refines the existing jak and daxter models like realistic hair and clothing but cartoonish faces, would probably keep polygons lower and make the game run better :)

[willcarlson]

Damn I want this now so I can read the whole thing. I couldn't read the book on my screen.

[MagicTurtle]

One does not simply dislike naughty dog. It doesn't matter who you are. I mean come one, the last of us is just a true masterpiece.

[alextownley]

I just ordered this on Amazon and I cannot wait to get it!! c:

[aaronrobinson]

I actually wouldnt mind a jak and daxter with more realistic graphics. I think it would give it a shadow of clossus feel too it. Human like looking character exploring massive realistic structures with that fantasy/laid back feel to it. It's a shame they cancelled it 

[dylanconner]

Ryan, I would love it if you made a Jak and daxter explained series because I am very confused and would love to understand it, from what I have seen no one has done one, please consider it...

[SuperSkull]

Hey Ryan, I never had a ps2 so when I got the Jak and Daxter collection a few years back I was really excited to play it. I loved jak 1, I platinumed it as well. Although I could never get into jak 2. It was frustrating and felt klunky. Did u feel the same? Should I give it another chance?

[Jahsational]

Jak and Daxter is also my favorite game franchise also.

[justinritch]

I have this book, its a really nice book, I'd recommend it if your a big naughtydog fan.

[MattTheHuman]

Thanks for doing this, I've been wanting to get a bit of a look at this artbook. I'm glad they scrapped Jak 4, because being realistic wouldn't work. I think they should let Sanzuru Games develop Jak 4 if they trust them enough.

[bloody_outlaw]

i dont know what to say right now ..
i love all of the games of naughty dog, , dont get me wrong
but im tired, ,,i dont understand why jak and daxter has the less " recognition" i guess you could say
its by FAR my favourite franchise of all time and i will never stop until this fucking JAK 4 happens
it means a lot to me ..

Ryan, do you think Naughty Dog would produce another Crash Bandicoot game, sometime in the future? Could it happen? What about you, guys? Do you think? Why? I hope so.
