Interview: Amy Hennig on Making Uncharted 2 from Industry Gamers: http://www.industrygamers.com/news/interview-amy-hennig-on-making-uncharted-2-maximizing-ps3-and-more/
IG: Finally, before we wrap, I wanted to ask you about Legacy of Kain, since I'm personally a fan of that series. I realize you
can't speak for Eidos, but do you think we'll ever see that franchise again? Did you want to continue work on it?
AH: Well anything I would say is complete speculation because I've been away from Crystal Dynamics for six years now, but I felt like I
got to do what I wanted to do. Do I feel like I got cutoff midstream? No, I'm the one that left and joined Naughty Dog, and I knew in the middle of
development on Defiance that I was going to leave and join Naughty Dog. So I was wrapping up my story. All I can tell you is that Eidos and Crystal Dynamics
legitimately love that franchise. If anyone thinks it's sort of been thrown in the dustbin without any thought or care, that's not the case at all. I
know they would love to revive it when the time is right and resources are there. I'm sure it's something they talk about; whether it'll ever
happen I don't know. I think it would have to be reinvented a bit at this point. If I was magically there working on it, I would look at it that way too -
you have to look at it from the perspective of the marketplace and the audience. You can't necessarily craft things for a fan audience because you'll
end up with a niche product. But I think they still see the franchise as a valuable IP in their stable, and they're just waiting for the right time to do
something with it. I know they're solely focused on Tomb Raider right now, and they're not a huge studio, but who knows if Eidos/Square Enix would
consider outsourcing it. [Editor's note: We reached out to Eidos for comment on LoK, but have not yet heard back.]
, that I called success, on a
hard work.
.I love Jak games, but Amy, give us some serious story a la LoK, maybe
a new IP as "dark" as Soul Reaver.....................I haven't played a game for a long time to "disturb" me as
LoK.........that story, man!I miss that.
.But seriously, we have a dilemma: Naughty Dog want to work on LoK? Amy wants to do it after
success of Uncharted?..........we may never find the answer.
