As part of their usual custom, Naughty Dog thanked a bunch of development studies in the Uncharted 2 ending credits, most of which are Sony's First Party developer. The odd in that list was a thanks to Bungie and Infinity Ward which puzzled many gamer being that Bungie works exclusively with Sony's rival Microsoft and as we all know IW are the people behind the CoD games. In a live chat session, Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann explained why they choose to thank them.  
 



Neil Druckmann, Naughty Dog:  

thanking other developers.  We try to be quite open with our technology and our process.  We exchanged technology and ideas with other developers. We wanted to make sure we thanked everyone that helped us out in some way.




 Quite a nice change from the usual "bashing war" some developers and publishers insist on doing.   For the full Live Chat Session just go here.

I don't see why there needs to be company beefs with one another, everyone just wants to make good games.

@Mordukai: This news made me smile. Any great developer that can lend a hand to another in order to help create a lasting, incredible experience is... well, they transcend the petty bickering we do on this level. And it makes me happy to be a fan of gaming.

Infinity Ward's Memo: "Yo dudes, make them enemies easier to kill. 2 or 3 bullets max."

Fanboys take note, you can play for the other team but you don't have to hate each other.

This proves Naughty Dog is a very respectable developer that doesn't fight with other developers and publishers but instead they get idea's and help to make a great games, They Earn respect for that.

Unlike gamers, who treat everything like an "Us vs Them" scenario, game developers all get along. Probably because they are grown ups who have lives.

this definitely earns Naughty Dog some respect in my book.  If only fanboys could learn something from this.  To bad thats never gonna happen :(

I still don't understand why everybody says it takes less bullets to kill enemies now. It still can take me six or seven bullets to take down an enemy without a headshot. I'm on hard though.

I think Turn 10 missed that memo.

That adds a ton more respect I already had for Naughty Dog, good to see a company that isn't full of greed and hate.

Good. Developers shouldn't be concerned about the politics of the video game market, that's for the bloodsucker publishing firms to worry about.

Nice to see that development companies for two competing consoles actually get along with each other.
