IGN - Devs were saying porting a PS3 game to the PS4 would be hard, so is The Last of Us proof they were lying? No. No, it isn't.
who is now the sole leader of Naughty Dog, “I promise you, we will not be ‘The Last of Us’ studio forever.” Numerous games, he said, are in the works, including “multiple single-player projects.
I know he has a celebrity like status but unless he's announcing his game soon idc what he has to say from this point on.
We need announcement something from him.
Kind of a weird interview. No substance, hardly any questions. It's almost like they forgot to post the whole thing or something.
Oh brother...... It's like a balloon filling with helium. He's got nothing new to say. Naughty Dog went from being a studio of numerous developers to being about him and what HE does. Bruce Straley was the co-creator of The Last of Us, and he left--I think for the same reason Christophe Balestra left and since then, Naughty Dog haven't been the same. PlayStation is incredibly woke, as all businesses seem to be these days, ignorant to what's really going on sacrificing the greater for peanuts, but I think they left because of the uprising political atmosphere. They knew there was nothing they could do about it and an attempt to try and combat it, in today's society would end them up in legal trouble so, they just left, what else can you do when the opposition behaves like a child, screams and yells louder than you want to in raged fits, and will throw lawsuits at you at whatever chance they can, but you don't play that way, so they left. And Naughty Dog hasn't been the same since.
Naughty Dog was huge at one time! They were the underdog that became the top dog but, the direction it's fine, just watch and wait. It's ego, and Druckmanns ego of thinking they're untouchable and can just coast along, will drop them rock bottom, in due time, they could see the same fate as Xbox's teams met. Fans will turn on Naughty Dog because A) Naughty Dog aren't producing, they're not what they once were.
B) Gamers ARE growing tired of the woke culture overtaking their lifetime hobby. They're just more silent about it, it's the quiet cool
He's a solid theatre arts person, but he's not a philosopher. Being good at one thing doesn't mean he's Descartes.
Sony should try and stay radio silence outside of hard reveals.
It’s painful to wait for any info at all, but it’s less painful than skimming an interview that avoids all details whatsoever.
Commit to radio silence, Sony. You can afford to leverage the trust in gaming output that you’ve cultivated.

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
porting from PC is easy, porting from a PS3 games designed for the CELL is hard, it needs re-writing and re-synchronizing, but ND managed it anyway.
- the CELL has different architecture from 86x, so new code needs to be re-wrote for the PS4 CPU.
- the CELL(a CPU) handled some GPU jobs, on the PS4 it is the revers as the GPU is designed to handle CPU jobs.
- the CELL was proprietary so developers needed to learn new things to develop for it and only high level coders can work on it properly, also this leads to a small pool of API developers, on the other hand 86x is the standard as it has a long history of documentation and every coder knows it in and out.
Honestly if you actually know anything about game development. It's all bullshit. Any modern engine can convert your game into whatever hardware with only a few weeks worth of work. It's rather the company doesn't want to, lying to you how hard it is, or doesn't have modern tech. At least those were the words from my computer science professor
The port is really shoddy actually.
Glitches a lot, sound stops working at times, NPCs disappearing, NPC path-finding breaking, and the matchmaking is a pathetic joke that has caused me to trade the game in.
I played the game through again, played the awesome DLC, then went to MP and just couldn't believe how rubbish matchmaking is.
I'm not willing to sit for upwards of 10 minutes to wait for a game.
I thought ND were amazing. This proves they're human and make a lot of mistakes at times.
The port just completely lacks the polish of the PS3 version.
Only a person who knows nothing about game development would think that porting a game between two consoles with completely different architectures is easy. Kind of like people who still believe that a DDoS attack is a hack.
