Druck's feeling the pressure to shit out Last of Us content for another HBO season...

 

[Saturn Dragon]

I just want a fun game with a cool entertaining and not forced woke storyline.

That said. I hope they can push the technical aspect to the absolute limit.

Is it too much to ask for a game as fun as U2? (Or even U3...)

Yes.

 

[Majormaxxx]

It will look and play amazing. Not sure if we are going to enjoy the themes and narrative.

 

[Hypereides]

Bold claim. Have to see some actual game footage before I start getting excited about anything AAA-related. Sounds like low-key PR.

 

[Ozriel]

"Naughty Dog's next game will look visually amazing" may well be the safest 'prediction' an insider could make

 

[StueyDuck]

I'm tepid on being excited for Sony games.

Which is sad because it wasn't too long ago I would have said naughty dog is one of the best.

After ragnarok and forbidden west and SM2 Sony needs a shot in the arm with a new ip that is interesting.

 

[Fess]

Fans are getting impatient, it's been fucking forever since they've released a game. Remade stuff doesn't count. At least show a teaser trailer or something.

TLOU2 released 4 years ago, that’s nothing today. Your name says that you’re a patient gamer so let them cook. I expect it to be a launch title for PS6, with simultaneous PS5 release for maximum hype and a big userbase.

 

[Randall365]

The raytracing on the Adams apple of the lead female character!

 

[Calverz]

Crash Bandicoot 2
Jak and Daxter
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 4
TLOU
TLOU 2

Those are the receipts...

They've always pushed ahead of what the rest of the industry was doing.

 

[Loboxxx]

I'm sure ND will bring out a 10, adult and powerful game, but if they've gone open world and with all the development of TLOU online, I'm afraid we're still many years away from seeing this game in stores.

 

[MALpractice311]

Between giving Druckmann almost complete creative control of all of Naughty Dog, the nonsensical story of TLOU2, and the shit canning of Factions 2, I'm just going to sit back and wait to see actual proof.

Open world shouldn’t delay it, it’s in their blood if you know Jak, and they released The Lost Legacy a year after Uncharted 4. Plus they might be able to reuse some Factions content depending on the theme and art direction

But it’s 2024 and game development seems time consuming now and they released TLOU2 4 years ago. So yeah I think you’re right that it’s years away.
I’m thinking the new IP is a PS6 launch title plus crossgen PS5 release, in 2028. Slight chance that it’s a late generation PS5 title, then they can release a remaster later on PS6, if so 2026.

 

[Panajev2001a]

Crunch them bitches

Druckman to the team:

/s.

Did you look read the thread title?
It’s talking about the visuals and the scope. Those are basically a given

 

[Trilobit]

This was one of the most excruciatingly boring games I've played. It was the intellectually stimulating equivalent of this toy:

But it was visually gorgeous and the animations were awesome. I wish they had made it as an animated movie instead.

 

[Moses85]

30 fps meltdown incoming

Not on Pro only on Amateur

 

[Boss Mog]

A lot of player freedom could mean GTA.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Nah, I'm good.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Whatever it is, Im sure it will gather the biggest hate and cancel campaign of the year.

 

[DeadOblivion78]

Whatever it is, Im sure it will gather the biggest hate and cancel campaign of the year.

And 90% of it will come from this forum because that's all they can do is hate.

 

[GigaBowser]

love norty dogs buuuuut please dont be woke please dont be woke

 

[RJMacready73]

Tbh I could do with a Saturday Morning Matinee type game from these guys, with some globe trotting adventures with characters I love solving some deep mystery, make it light hearted... The world needs Nathan Drake back

 

[nkarafo]

No but i'm ready for how pretentious and woke it's going to be.

 

[kubricks]

Impress me by how well it plays first, how good it looks comes second. Thank you.

I mean... are you surprised? New age, modern AAA developers aim to capture exactly "that" audience. It has to be accessible to everyone at the expense of depth and replayable longevity.

I don't doubt ND will deliver on the visual presentation. Its probably going to be sharp. I'm more curious and concerned about what will be underneath that "paintjob".

 

[Brigandier]

Wasn't it confirmed about 2 maybe 3 years ago that ND was working on a Fantasy RPG?.

 

[RJMacready73]

Jesus some takes in here, this is Naughty Dog FFS, they don't release anything that isn't damn near perfect in every way, for every hater of TLOU2 there's a ton more that thought it was incredible, personally I hope they go more uncharted than TLOU style with their next game, I want pure escapism over nihilism

 

[Musilla]

The first page is embarrassing, I suppose the rest are the same but I haven't even wanted to read them.

So much hate can't be good for your health

 

[MALpractice311]

Visuals? Yes, I agree. Scope? I don't. Their recent games have all been single player and narrative focused. These are not wide open worlds with branching storylines. Their games are largely driven by their narratives, therefore much of one's enjoyment come from whether you enjoy said narratives. And given my issues with some parts of the writing in UC4, UCLL and TLOU2, I'm taking a wait and see approach; i.e. will Druckmann double down on some of worst parts of his writing? Is this an overly controversial stance to take on an optional hobby? Especially a hobby that I'm finding less and less time to devote to due to being a father to a toddler.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Player freedom as in strongholds, checkpoints and lockboxes similar to a few of the missions and U4 and lost legacy that were mediocre as fuck and all had the same loop of every other open world game out there? Because I prefer linear.

 

[TitusTroy]

any hint of a release date?...Game Awards reveal in December?

 

[Kokoloko85]

And 90% of it will come from this forum because that's all they can do is hate.

Yep.

Also expect a return of “Pacing issues” to come back. Timed exclusive phrase only for ND games lol

 

[Kokoloko85]

30 fps meltdown incoming

Has there been a PS studio game this gen that didnt give an option of 60fps?

 

[Hypereides]

You're absolutely right. Its all hate. We should all clap like seals with zero thought in the process. Cautious expectations are disadvised. Throw away any amount of restraint/inhibition and let's f-ing go!

 

[CLW]

To be released end of ps8 cycle - still gotta remaster tlou2 6 times before then

"you are not ready for how amazing it looks"

Sounds promising, but i think i'm gonna wait for the first or second remaster to be really blown away.

You will wait for the remaster, I'll wait for the remake.

 

[King Dazzar]

Not ready? No, I think you'll find we are.

 

[RoboFu]

Every time I hear that it ends up being the same small boring gameplay loop in a big open world.

Go to spot on map and kill/retrieve something.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

You're absolutely right. Its all hate. We should all clap like seals with zero thought in the process. Cautious expectations are disadvised. Throw away any amount of restraint/inhibition and let's f-ing go!

Honestly? I think that would do you some good.

 

[th4tguy]

Just a reminder that gaas is the reason we haven’t seen a new ND game this gen.

 

[Jibran#one]

Last of us 3 open world more LGBTQ+-updown drama.
Jokes aside we have been waiting and ready for like 5 years now

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Game must be close to release if its looking good.

Graphics these days, they get good pretty close to release.

 

[Saber]

Go to Resetera so you can spread your love.
Or maybe twitter, all they do is love.

 

[Cr1ptkeeper]

Of course it's going to look amazing, it's going to be a PS6 game. ND seems to skip this generation.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Of course it's going to look amazing, it's going to be a PS6 game. ND seems to skip this generation.

N D's next game probably won't launch until 2027, but Playstation will be supporting the PS5 generation well past 2030. Definitely Won't be a PS6 exclusive

 

[TheKratos]

No doubt the gfx will be great. All the rest, probably not.

 

[BouncyFrag]

I wish we could have dropped Sam off a cliff in UC4.
