Naughty Dog vet leaving to teach at USC

Bittersweet news, but alas -- time waits for no one, as they always say. (If that's...even related, lol. :P)

Wish him the best, and hopefully, Naughty Dog will be able to hold their own without the darn guy! (In all respect, of course.)

Well many thanks Richard for helping to produce my favourite franchise to date. It's been a pleasure. Now you teach them kids good and proper!! :D

It's nice to see professionals coming back to teach the students .In my school it's the opposite. Each teacher has a foot out the door and cannot stand the idea of students making more money than they do.There is very little pride in the practice of teaching sometimes.

I wish him well on his future.

It's good to see real industry experts teach the future generations. When these guys retire, we will still qualified individual to write the games and story lines.

I really wish him all the good fortune that may come his way, but I have to say that SC is going down.(I mean when we play them in Football)

my wishes good out to you love your work good luck i hope we see you again

All the cool stuff seems to go on at USC. I'm rather jealous. :P

I wish him all the best and my thanks for helping to bring us some truely awesome games.

@8a8eh911 Are you like mental or something?

Wish him luck and would like another jak game and another uncharted game near future plz

I wish him the best, now i know where i'm headed for school, lol!

I applied to this college, I hope I get accepted and have him as my professor.Wish me luck.

Best of luck. I have taken a few courses there, he'll be a great addition to the team.

Best of luck and teach your knowledge of making good games to the next generation so they don't end up making games like Activision and EA.

I respect his decision. But I will definitely miss his presence at Naughty Dog.

@WCU_deva I don't think anyone thinks that, lol.

.... I should transfer to USC.

So does this mean no uncharted on ps3 = XBOX BEST CONSOLE WITH MOST GAMES!

That's bad news very bad

i know where i'm transferring to next summer ;)

@Killer6b9, Couldn't have said it any better! Sad to see him go, but hey if you're gonna have Professor teach you the ways of game designing & developing; I can't think of a better teacher, lol.

Hope this does not mean U4 will not be as good as the first 3. I need more Uncharted goodness.

now Uncharted 4 will look like japanese anime

@Marky360 Well since he "can do" so your saying is fail

Why are all these developers leaving as of late, is the next generation really going to be that bad???

Well, they do say that if you love something, you've got to let it go.

Best of luck to him. Uncharted might just be my all time favorite trilogy. Thanks for the GREAT games!

Well I guess the sayings true those who can't do, Teach.

Well at least he is going to one of the best schools to teach how to make some stellar games! Mr. Lemarchand.....Good luck and hope to see your students make games at your par and better, we will all miss you!

Nooooo... Get back in there and start working on Uncharted 4. We need some good launch titles for the PS4.

Ugh...a teacher, really? Well thank you for contributing to Gex and Legacy of Kain.

Is it just my imagination or has there been lately a rather consistent stream of industry vets leaving the industry to try innovative or make retro stuff? Btw, @WCU_deva, I totally thought vet stood for veterinarian in the title before reading the article. ^^

Would like to thank him and wish him all the best.

Admit it, when you read the title you thought vet was short for veterinarian...

He shall instruct the next generation of creative designers. I wonder what games he will come up with. Teaching his craft to the game makers yet to come.
