Naughty Dog gave their thanks to other development studios during the closing credits of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The most surprising of which was Bungie, developer of the Halo series for the Xbox systems.

During a live chat session with fans, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann explained why they choose to thanked Bungie and other development studios:
Re: thanking other developers. We try to be quite open with our technology and our process. We exchanged technology and ideas with other developers. We wanted to make sure we thanked everyone that helped us out in some way.
It seems quite a bit unusual seeing two exclusive developers for rival systems exchanging ideas and technology with each other. However, the exchange is working out quite well for both developers since Halo 3: ODST for the Xbox 360 and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for the Playstation 3 are two of the most acclaimed games of 2009 so far.

Very classy act by Naughty dog, it's good to see this open comradeship between studios. :)

I hope everyone learns from ND about how to cater presentation values - specially Kojima should take a lesson or two about how to blend cinematic story telling and gameplay.

Nopes, it wasn't perfect. It was bloody good but put it beside UC2 and you'll see the weakness, how most scenes tend to drag on longer than they should've - how certain characters were overdone. Anyways, let's not go off topic on this one :D

This move shows ND's greatness. Mutual respect, even with your competitor is a very important thing. In contrast, look at how Turn 10 behave towards competition. lol.

(lmao)
Perhaps they're sitting wondering what they gave to ND in the first place :D

One thing's for sure though. They definitely didn't learn the network setup information from these two <_<

Thats prolly one of the best things Bungie did with their game....It must be something very little that Bungie might have helped out ND with...

Bungie's thanks could very well be two friends from Bungie and ND drinking at a bar, the bungie guy goes "HEY YOU KNOW WHAT, NATHAN'S SHIRT SHOULD BE TUCKED IN THE OTHER DIRECTION NOW"

Its probably going to be the best selling PS3 game. Also, the real GOTY war is between Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2.

^ I don't expect Modern Warfare 2 to be as good as Uncharted 2. Although it will most definitely sell more than Uncharted 2 as it is a multiplatform title.

^ Modern Warfare 2 may not be better than UC2 in Single player but I'm expecting it to beat all other MP games out there. Besides, Killzone 2 also qualifies for GOTY 09 from my side.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
