How Many Games Did Naughty Dog Develop?

Naughty Dog has been in the games-making industry probably a lot longer than you thought, a career spanning decades back to even before the name change you now know them by.

Did you know that Naughty Dog used to be a company called JAM Software, which developed its first game in 1985? That game was kno𝔍wn as Math Jam and there were subsequent releases of obscure titles such as Ski ꦏCrazed, Dream Zone, and Keef the Thief throughout the 1980s for systems like Amiga and the Apple II.

Naughty Dog solidified its name in the world of gaming with the 1996 release of Crash Bandicoot, now one of the m🍃ost iconic platformer mascots of all time, and that was followed♔ up by the Jak and Daxter series, s𝄹imilar in its themes to Ratchet & Clank.

After Jak and Daxter, Naughty Dog switched gears into character-driven cinematic adventures with the start of the Uncharted series in 2007, introducing gamers to the car🌼efree Indiana Jones-inspired explorer 🐼Nathan Drake and his partner Victor Sullivan.

And in 2013, Naughty Dog once again took things in a new emotional survival-horror direction and made what's still considered its best game and a masterpiece in storytelling and game design - The Last of Us.

From a technical achievement and gameplay standpoint, however, The Last of Us Part 2 still reigns suprem✅e.

Since the studio's founding in 1984, Naughty Dog (previously JAM Software) went on to create a total of 26 video games (including remasters and collections). That's a lot of characters to conceive and handle gracefully!

Here's a table of the full list of titles the studio developed, organized by release date.

Which Game Has The Most Characters?

With so many iconic franchises all made by one studio, like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Crash Bandicoot, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Jak and Daxter, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Uncharted, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us, it might be of interest to see which isolated game from all these series went above and beyond to deliver the greatest number of characters.

Much to no surprise, that game is The Last of Us Part 2, Naughty Dog's longest, most ambitious, and most technically and graphically impressive sequel yet. The main characters from the first game are now also joined by a whole new expanded set of characters in Jackson and Abby Anderson's camp.

The Last of Us Part 2's main story takes an average of 24 hours to complete, making it seven hours longer than Jak 2 and 10 hours longer than The Last of Us Part 1 and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.

The Last of Us Par☂t 2 had a budget of $220 million.

Ellie, Abby, and Joel, along with the rest of the main characters already make up north of 20. When you factor in all the ℱenemy NPCs like🌃 Seraphites, WLF militia, and the various infected like Clickers, Bloaters, Stalkers, Runners, Shamblers, and the Rat King, you're looking at a voice ensemble contributing to approximately 153 characters.

The game with the second highest number of characters is the equally ambitious finale to the Nathan Drake saga, A Thief's End, which still has precisely 123 characters credited in the voice acting department (given there's multiplayer and that the story also introduced Nate's brother, Nate's daughter, Rafe Adler, and Nadine Ross).

And in third place is 2013's The Last of Us with a cast of 67 characters that includes main, supporting characters, and en൲emy NPಌCs.

By comparison, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune has 23 actors credited for only nine different types of characters, Jak 2 features around 21 characters with 16 actors, and Crash Bandicoot: Warped has a mere 11 characters.

With such a large amount of characters seen in The Last of Us Part 2, every performance, no matter how small, transcends 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:and is absolutely Oscar-worthy, and that's quite a difficult feat Naughty Dog has mastered.
