Happy New Year from Naughty Dog

All of us at Naughty Dog wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year!

2009-12-23-Holiday-Double-Cash-PSBlog

2009 has been both incredibly busy AND amazing year for us on all counts. We started the year off working hard on UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves and we had no idea what was going to be in store for us and for our fans as the year progressed.

We had our heads down for most of the year making sure we put together an awesome game that we think you would like, but when E3 came around, we took a moment to stop and realize that things were really coming together as UNCHARTED 2 picked up over 20 awards when all was said and done. It’s safe to say we were stoked to get this recognition and it made us kick things up a notch over the next several months as we were putting the finishing touches on our game. When we released UNCHARTED 2 in October to critical acclaim, we were looking forward to hearing what all of our fans thought on NaughtyDog.com, the PlayStation forums, Twitter and anywhere else on the internet you discussed our game. Now, we’re wrapping up the year watching our game win Game of the Year not just once, but many times over and counting — and we couldn’t imagine a better note to end 2009 on.

Everyone at the studio has been on a well-deserved break for the past couple of weeks, taking some time for ourselves and spending time with our friends and families who didn’t get to see too much of us as we were finishing up UNCHARTED 2. Hopefully you’ve caught a few of us enjoying our free time joining you in multiplayer here and there recently. We’ll be back in the studio next week and you’ll be hearing soon after that about some of the DLC we’ve been working on for UNCHARTED 2.

We can’t say it enough – thanks to all of you for being fans of Naughty Dog and our games! We work hard to make games that our fans enjoy and we couldn’t have done it without such great and vocal support from our community.

Happy holidays!

  • Happy New Year! Thanks for an amazing game. Single player was truly outstanding, and multiplayer is downright addictive, cant wait to find out what kind of DLC is in the works.

  • happy new year! Uncharted 2 is by far the best ps3 game ive played so far!although i am ready for MAG beta to start.
    oh and i think some of the developers have been playing online on uncharted 2 because as of late there have been many more good players online. but yes. great game!
    oh btw what is a DLC?? i havent been a gamer for long and im only 13 so yea i dont really know. so yea could some1 plz tell me what a DLC is. is it like a map pack add on?

  • Happy new years Arne and congratulations on game of the year! Definitely agree. Bring on Uncharted 3 (or a new IP)!

  • UnKn0nSldr86, the website VGChartz says that Uncharted 2 already sold 2.31 millions.Their number is got by research, so it can have 5% to more or to less in sales.Here’s the link:

  • Happy New Year, ND!

    are those DLCs for free? if not, this will split the community, which is already small as it is at. i remember buying the kz2 maps and after 2 weeks nobody was playing them.

    don’t get me wrong, i’ll be buying the DLC day one. just concerned i won’t have a lot of people to play with.

  • Happy Dog Year! You rock! =)

    Uncharted 2 was awesome

    @ 48 From 24th of December to the 27th all the peeps online had christmas hats :P

  • Naughty Dog do you know why everytime I play on multiplayer with 9 other people the character moves for a couple of seconds but then it doesnt move and i always get killed because of that. As soon as 1 person leaves the game it all goes back to normal the character moves and dont stop

  • From all of us Greeks happy new year and thanks for the great times you offered us with uncharted series and for your great profesional behaviour

  • Thank you Naughty Dog for making uncharted 2 the best game i played in 2009, keep up the great work.

  • nice to know that

  • Happy New Year Naughty Dog, keep up the great work with Uncharted 2 a fantastic game, and can’t wait for Uncharted 3.

  • Seriously, you guys are beyond awesome. Probably the only developers out there who listen to other players’ suggestions.

    Hats off for the brilliant Uncharted series, and happy new year to you too!

  • Happy new year NAUGHTY GOD!!!!!!!

    We are all patiently waiting for UNCHARTED 3… and a new Jak & Daxter looking like the first one on PS2 :D

  • Any chance u can add more co op modes?

  • Happy New Years to you guys too!

    You guys deserved all the awards and the break as well. Working hard too long n’est pas bon pour la santé.

  • Please Co-Op

  • galing nyo!!! (you guys are great!!!) How about a ‘mature’ jak and daxter rpg ala zelda? Uncharted is a masterpiece!!!

  • Thanks for all Naughty Dog. Oh and by the way somethings is wrong with the log in on you’re website. I can’t log in therefor can’t post or actually see the new stats web page.

  • happy new year to u guys also!!

    cant w8 for the DLC!!!!!

  • No, thank you guys for giving us one of the greatest games of all time, GOTY, is just not enough, congrats once again guys, well deserved!!! :D

  • Happy New Year… im lovin uncharted 2 loved the first and cant wait for what you guys have planned next

  • Happy New Year, enjoy the time off because you all certainly earned it. Thanks again for an amazing game.

    Cannot wait for more DLC free or paid. Also hope for some more holiday themed weekends. Perhaps a sexy Chloe vs. heart-broken Flynn for Valentine’s day? Green hats and 2.5x plunder for St. Patrick’s day? Bunny ears for Easter? Just some ideas.

    Oh and are we going to get a dynamic theme for the multiple winning game of the year?

  • I like the game, there are just two things I hope you will work on for the online this year: Give us less health! I know you had an experimental weekend not to long ago, I really hope you bring those changes! The second thing is please add an option so we can remove the aim assist from online if we want too. Great game though.

  • Uncharted 2 is on my game of the decade short list. Way to go!

  • The game without a midnight launch wins GOTY thats a big slap to gamestops face… I LOVE UC2

  • For DLC would you please make a 2x2x2x2x2 mode. That would be so cooooooooool. And please make the Rika Raja and Pinkerton available for the U.S. Maybe even for free!?! Any dlc will do though. Oh and Happy New Year ND!!! Make 2010 a great year.

  • Happy New Year to everyone at Naughty Dog! Thank you for the brilliance of Uncharted 2. Please keep it up!

  • Happy New Year! :)

  • I hope ND resolves to give gamers a proper *single* player game in the new year, instead of the slap in the face that was Uncharted 2.
