Section 3:
- The games that Naughty Dog tends to produce belong in the action adventure genre, such as Uncharted and Jak and Daxter. The only game that they have made that is an exception to this rule is The Last of Us which is more of a survival horror game. They also include Third person cover shooting into their games which has been present in all of their games since Jak and Daxter. Naughty Dog work with Sony to make games. The games that they have made with Sony have been exclusively for Sony's consoles.
Section 4:
- Naughty Dog have only made games for the Playstation so I cannot comment on how they approach multi platform games.
Section 5:
- The regulatory bodies that the company has to adhere to the ESRB. They censor things like blood and gore Sexual content and nudity. A recent case of one of their games being censored is when The Last of Us was censored in parts of Europe due to local regulation boards asking them to censor the violence in the game.
- Naughty dog use their own engine for graphics in their games and update it between titles. And they use the Havok engine for game physics, which would affect things like rag-doll models and how objects in the world fall and react with the player and other objects.
