If Hennig is making a game, I'm down to check it out. Oh, it's a Marvel game. I still wish she had been able to finish that one Star Wars game.

Well, since Uncharted 4, she hasn't done much of anything. Supposedly she's involved with Forespoken.

I also wish she could have finished that Star Wars game, it sounded interesting.

Hennig didn't do Uncharted 4. I mean she kinda started working on it, did some pre-production stuff, but left ND before that really got anywhere. The version of Uncharted 4 that we got was from the two guys who led development on The Last of Us. I didn't really care for TLoU or Uncharted 4.

I also wish she could have finished that Star Wars game, it sounded interesting.

Indeed it did.

Supposedly she's involved with Forespoken.

Oh sh1t, no kidding. Wikipedia says she's on the writing team. Well I certainly did not know that.

So many titles drown each other out, stepping on each other's toes. I already can't follow the amount of announced / recently released / about to be released titles.
