Her i Gamereactor har vi lite annet enn lovord å komme med i forbindelse med The Last of Us fra 2013, men skal vi tro utviklerne selv var de langt fra selvsikre mens spillet var under utvikling. I programmet Conversations with Creators kommer Naughty Dog nemlig med noen veldig overraskende avsløringer til vert Will Wheaton. Underveis i utviklingen fryktet de nemlig at spillet skulle floppe og at det skulle ødelegge studioets gode navn og rykte, som du kan se i videoen.
Bruce Straley, Naughthy Dog:
"We thought it was going to tank. We thought we were going to ruin the name and image of Naughty Dog that's been so heartily built for years with blood, sweat, and tears. We thought we were ruining Naughty Dog's image. The joke we would say throughout production was that ‘This game is the downfall of Naughty Dog."
