Last week, Sony released a (now archived) Q&A with the The last of us creator on “the evolution of storytelling.” In the interview, Druckmann talked about the role of AI in game development, the impact of new technologies on storytelling, advice for new creators, and his hopes for a dream project.
“Additionally, AI will truly revolutionize the way content is created, although it raises some ethical questions that we need to resolve. With technologies like AI and the ability to capture motion right from home, we are reducing both costs and technical barriers, allowing us to take on more adventurous projects and push the boundaries of storytelling in games.
Druckmann also elaborated on other uses of AI, saying: “AI will allow us to create nuanced dialogue and characters, expanding the creative possibilities. However, it is crucial to precisely direct these tools to achieve the expected results.
Additionally, Druckmann shared his aspirations for future games, expressing his excitement for Naughty Dog’s next project: “I can’t wait to see how this new game resonates, especially after the success of The last of usbecause it could redefine dominant perceptions of the game.”
However, his comment about “redefining mainstream perceptions of gaming” is what appears to be why Sony removed the interview. Shortly after Sony published the Q&A, Druckmann wrote on social media stating that he had been misquoted.
“In editing my rambling responses during my recent interview with Sony, some of my words, context and intent were unfortunately lost,” he posted on X sharing his full, unedited comments.
Days after making this statement, Sony announced that instead of adding Druckmann’s clarification, it had removed the interview entirely, stating: “(We) found several significant errors and inaccuracies that do not represent his point of view and its values (including topics such as animation, writing, technology, AI and future projects).
