Online man-about-town Pete Dodd revealed Wednesday that breaking reports from IGN about creative director and writer Amy Hennig's department from Naughty Dog were incorrect:
Just keep in mind the first story to come out of situations like this are usually laughably incorrect. Give it time.

Armed with Dodd's insider knowledge, we took a look at IGN's original text, ignoring the update, to determine exactly what they got wrong:Sony later confirmed it, so this was true and we've read about her involvement in Uncharted for PS4, so that is true.
Amy Hennig, the creative director and writer on the Uncharted series, has left developer Naughty Dog.
Numerous trusted sources close to Naughty Dog have verified Hennig’s departure from the studio. She was writing and leading development of Uncharted PS4. Her final day at the studio was Monday, March 3.
Sources claim Hennig was “forced out” by The Last of Us’ Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley, and explained that Uncharted may now come under their control.Numerous websites have reported the same information, so with such deep reporting resources turning up the same news, this must be fact.
Hennig recently celebrated her 10th anniversary with Naughty Dog, where she served as director and writer on Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves , and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Her work was recently profiled in IGN’s The History of Naughty Dog.All true!
We’ve contacted both Sony and Naughty Dog for comment and will keep you up to date with any developments.There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the smoking gun.
