Neil Druckmann and Cory Barlog met each other at #DICE2025 and exchanged thoughts about victories? Failures? And everything therein that inspires the act of CREATING–and the once-great health of the industry. Catch this full interview on YouTube NOW! A must for aspiring devs and fans alike.
AIAS put a zoom link to Twitter of Neil Druckmann from Naughty Dog & Cory Barlog from Sony Santa Monica sassing it up at DICE 2025? That talk must have gone deeper than surface chit-chat. These two LEGENDS speak about the making of *The Last of Us* and *God of War*–you dig?
The tweet mainly was putting out a casual plug for the link to YouTube. That’s where the tea lies: in the replies, really.
First to drop bombs, @AOviomo34967 says, “will never understand the disdain and contempt leveled against Neil Druckmann by the hate brigade.” Oh my god, they said it! Yes, I would agree with that! I mean look, *The Last of Us Part II* came out and all, but this dude really is setting out to inspire. Chill, people!
Love it! Then in comes slask77 to add, “many gamers are just becoming increasingly toxic. that’s it.” Couldn’t have said it better!
Next in is the comment, “This guy actually thinks creative directors are above game directors” from @SirDSCM. That is a totally diva response! Is it a real critique or some whining? Honestly, it’s up for discussion.
And then moving on to @alexplaysvg-massive accusations, dubbing him, the biggest conman in gaming. Wow! Shots fired! Definitely not lovey-dovey over there. But then, @BsCratos is all, “Hey Neil, you rock, your fifth franchise. 🙌🌌we are waiting.” Hype beast mode.
You’re vibin’ as I was saying! Pure gold, Jerry! Gold! These dudes are at the top of their game. Life experiences and mistakes are LIFETIME-LESSONS YOU CAN NEVER LEARN IN SCHOOL.
A deep dive into creativity and the perspective on the industry might get some indirect shade thrown through-the-replies? Oh, it should be watched yes! Definitely. Diving into the Twitter replies for maximum drama? YES! Anyway, let me go ahead and watch it for the second time…and light a casual flame war in the comment…Just kidding…unless?
