The Last of Us 2 is long "because we wanted to do it so long," says Neil Druckmann

The Last of Us 2 is long "because we wanted to do it so long". It was none other than Neil Druckmann, the game director and vice president of Naughty Dog, who wanted to respond to some criticisms of the game, accused by some of being too long.

Druckmann touched the topic during the last episode of the podcast of the friend Troy Baker, of which you can find the recording at the bottom of the news: "I heard someone ... fuck I'll be in trouble as far as I'm going to say, but I don't care. Recently someone he said the games are too long, stating that it depends in part on the marketing departments, who want to be able to say that the games are big to be able to sell them. In my sixteen years of career in Naughty Dog marketing never has it (not even one time) given indications on creative issues, telling us "this must be in the game", or indicating the duration or asking us to insert some features. The game (The Last of Us 2 ed) is so long because we wanted to do it so long. "

For those who are not aware of it, it takes about 30 hours to complete The Last of Us 2. If you want more information, read our review of The Last of Us 2, which we remind you to be a PS4 exclusive.
