《最后生还者》总监布鲁斯·斯特拉利解释为何离开顽皮狗

Uncharted 4 showed up and it was like, I guess there's a difference between doing something for yourself which feels passionate--and I had my own theories that I was trying to expand upon between Uncharted 1, 2, and The Last of Us--and then Uncharted 4 became more like, 'How do I do this for the team and for the company?' （制作）《神秘海域4：盗贼末路》的时候，我觉得在自己想做的事情和（被要求负责）这个游戏上还是有区别的。自己想做的事情会让人充满激情，而且我在做《神海1》、《神海2》和《最后生还者》时是有自己想要施展的一套理论的。而在做《神海4》的时候就变成了，“我该怎么为我们组和顽皮狗做（这款游戏）？”

We needed to get the game out the door, and we needed it to be something good, so that it didn't put a mark on the Naughty Dog name. I felt like, I guess in hindsight I took on that role more for the team than for me personally... Two years to create that beast, that then became the hardest project (I had worked on).​​ 我们需要把这款游戏（《神海4》）做出名堂，我们也需要把它做出花儿来，这样这款游戏才不会给顽皮狗的名声抹黑。事后我想了想，做这款游戏时我扮演的角色更多是为了整个组而不是我个人……所以花费两年时间做出这头“怪兽”，成为了（我制作生涯中）最难的一个项目。

It had nothing to do with Naughty Dog, nothing to do with games, it’s just me, I’m a perfectionist, what we’re going after, just triple-A. Everything all culminated into, 'Oh my god, it’s time to take a break. It’s just time to step away.' （离开公司）这件事跟顽皮狗无关，跟（《神海4》）这款游戏无关，这只跟我自己有关，我是个完美主义者，之后我们要做的游戏是另一款 3A 作品。一切的一切都达到了一个极限：“我的上帝哦，该是时候休息一下了，是时候远离这些事情。”
