[[http://naughtydog.com Naughty Dog]] is an American video game developer owned by Creator/SonyInteractiveEntertainment, first formed as Jam Software in 1984 before renaming themselves to their current name in 1989. They are responsible for many hit franchises for the [=PlayStation=] consoles, and are considered one of Sony's top development studios, if not the best one of all.

* DarkerAndEdgier. The ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' series went this direction starting with the second game. Heck, generally speaking, their later games are this compared to their earlier work. Just compare ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' to ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs''. The difference is night and day.

Naughty Dog has something of a sister company in the form of Creator/InsomniacGames. Both companies started out working in the same building, and [[AlternateCompanyEquivalent even produced very similar games around the same times]]. Just to illustrate: Naughty Dog's ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' and Insomniac's ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon'', Naughty's ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' and Insomniac's ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank''. As far as game companies can go, these guys are pretty much the tightest of bros, though also sharing a FriendlyRivalry.
