Thats something ! Got the reason back

S2Killinit4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I wonder what they are working on. But the prospect of multiple single player games from ND makes me giddy.

Stanlittle1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Me too, but I'm scared. The team is a shell of its former self, but fingers are crossed! I feel like he is just talking to stay relevant. The PlayStation showcase a few days ago was the time to show or say something.

mandf1h ago

Stanlittle shell of themselves? Says who you? You internet clowns are lost to reality. Naughty Dog has done nothing but gory titles.

They do a little lesbian stuff and now they are crap? You internet losers are ruining gaming.

OtterX7h ago

I'd like something more lighthearted up next. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed The Last of Us, but I sure do miss the Naughty Dog games that didn't leave me feeling like someone just kicked my dog into traffic.

Cacabunga5h ago

I honestly just want a new Uncharted.. i remember the first time they revealed gameplay trailer of U4.. blew my mind !!!

KyRo5h ago

I'd love a new Uncharted game too. If they did, I'd want a return to the massive set pieces of the first three games. I felt U4 was missing that one set pieces like the train/cargo plane moment of the previous games.

Hotpot6h ago

I hope they have something ready for next year, last time they released a new game was TLoU part 2 4 years ago

RaidenBlack6h ago

Hope one of them is a FPV game. They can try more immersion with FPV.

anast3h ago

I never felt anymore immersion from an FPV game. To me FPV feels more like a business decision.

Stanlittle1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Not many console exclusive PS games are 1st person. I can only think of Killzone back in 2013. So RaidenBlack has a point 1st person would be a nice change. 3rd person has always been less immersive to me than 1st person.

RaidenBlack44m ago

lol,
FPV is always more immersive ... hence most VR titles are FPV centric.

anast11m ago(Edited 11m ago)

@Raiden

nice acronym

VR is VR

RedDevils3h ago

Hopefully not. Not my type leave it other developer who specialised on it.

RaidenBlack46m ago(Edited 42m ago)

They have multiple single player games in development, so one of 'em can be a FPV project. All Sony titles currently are third person games, the few first person ones are live services.
Plus we dont know how a Naughty Dog FPV game can be. It might be really immersive. We can never know unless they try. Try something different other than the same old trope.

Yui_Suzumiya6h ago

The Last of Us: Part III as a direct continuation from II. The series doesn't end until they have a cure.

-Foxtrot1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

The game didn’t even need a sequel after Part I

We don’t need Part III unless they want to do a spin off set in another country / state with a new cast

The story is pretty much done.

cooperdnizzle45m ago

How is the story done? Ellie still has the ability to cure the world potentially. I mean that is pretty much the whole driving force of the first game.

I don't know how people can claim the story is done. The biggest question is still can Ellie really cure the infection. Now that she knows would she sacrifice herself? Will they try to figure out another way? Or do they try and it doesn't work and it was all a waste? I don't know, I think it would be cool to see the next one set in New York with a huge amount of infected roaming the city. Abby and Ellie reunited both with the same mission of figuring out how to make a cure! While the huge drama could be if it is possible to cure the world while keep Ellie alive. But at the end Abby has to kill ellie who is now her "best friend". I don't know. That's just one idea. The story is not over and could go in a bunch of directions.

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff21833d ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan3d ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin3d ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_3d ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Co CEO prefers gamers to boycott.. so be it. I’ll never buy a gaas.
Just imagine buying a game you cannot replay in some years.. this shit must stop.

Days Gone did zombies in a very original way. The story was also so engaging. You actually only meet Zombie hordes later in the game. There are many more enemy groups to deal with.

MrNinosan3d ago

@Notelin
I am one of the few who bought Days Gone on release day and loved it completely.
However, "more online trash" is phrased like Sony has put out alot of trash online games.
We got what, 2 games? Helldivers 2 and GT7, 2 of the most sold Playstation games where both is loved by millions.

You, me and especially shinoff has no idea if Fairgames, Marathon and Concord will be trash.

Just because we (as in you and me) don't love or support online games, doesn't mean millions of other do.

And we don't know what Bend Studio is working with? We don't know if they're forced to make a online game or another amazing single player experience.

The only thing we do know is that it's not Days Gone, sadly due to poor sales the first 6 months.

shinoff21832d ago (Edited 2d ago )

More online trash wasmt meant how insee it comes across. I should've worded it different I was meaning the focus they currently have on it.

Anything online is online trash to me. How long did naughty dog spend on that dumba last of us multiplayer, how about Concord, or even the other couple we hear about. I fk with Sony because rpgs and their 1st party single player games. Been like that for years. I hate seeing them waste time, money, and talent on trash. I understand bot every game is gonna be for me but this focus they've seem to had on multiplayer is extremely disheartening. Even at the state of play the only things I was really feeling were Astrobot and silent hill 2 and I'm content with that, not everything is for me. It's just the online focus I hate. Ms bought up 3 to 4 wrpgs developers, Sony just ignores rpgs 1st party wise.

And a days gone 2 would've been much better then whatever online sht bend is working on. I do know sometimes I get very idk emotional. I do need to work on toning that down a bit lol

SimpleDad2d ago

Ammm let's see... That All-stars, Foamstars, Babilon 5 wass gaas...
Concord... can wait to play that...Marathon uuuu... Last of them gaas... U
Horizon Zero dawn has a project that leaked as a Fortnite lookalike.

They bought Destiny that is a dead gaas...people love ti.

Helldivers 2 was luck.

Jimbo was all in and pushed Sony single player games 5 years behind.

Spiderman gaas was cancelled... I mean every 1st party studio was doing gaas.

Bend had to pitch a gaas game... Open world coop something

I can't remember more... Of that crap.

tay87012d ago

@simpledad. Destiny 2 isn't a dead game. Its the number 5 most played game on steam. I dont play it, but alot of people do.

MrNinosan2d ago

@SimpleDad
You failed to mention a single PS Studios game that has been released last 10 years.
Either your reading skills are crap or you think Sony own every studio in the world.

just_looken2d ago

I rolled my eyes at concord not only was it just yet another cookie cutter hero shooter but that qucik look for the hero select.

Already has a free section then paid section along with a they/them she/her dei crap top right.

Nothing like a day off of work to fire up concord to read about the new characters sexual identity and or preference then a paywall do you want o buy this character shit like no i just want to shoot my gun have fun.

-Foxtrot3d ago

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink3d ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

shinoff21832d ago

I mean it's not out of the realm of possibility at this point.

Grilla3d ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5233d ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin3d ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-643d ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

Cacabunga3d ago

The guy’s just a moron.. he should have stayed within game development. His choices will have a terrible impact on the brand in the long run.

tay87012d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Dude is pretty pathetic. Sounds like a guy who's girl left him for someone better. Always talking about days gone sequel that never was, even though he is no longer at bend and hasnt been for a while. I for one am not upset about the lack of a sequel. It is one of the worst 1st party games in recent memory. Completely jank, played like an xbox game. The only redeeming quality was the hordes.

excaliburps3d ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla3d ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

derek2d ago

@Notellin, of course you'll believe an embittered ex-employee with an axe to grind because it's evil Sony he's complaining about. You guys act like days gone was this huge success and somehow Sony hates easy money a sequel would have generated. The game was mid and so was the response to it. They're still supporting the developer who is making a new ip that could be great.

shinoff21832d ago

Days gone was fantastic. I bought day one but didn't get around to it for months. When I finally did I was pissed at myself for waiting so long lol

P_Bomb3d ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing693d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip3d ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.

-Foxtrot2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

But if it’s true what this guy says it sold better than Death Stranding

Yet that got a sequel and Kojima aside out of them both DS didn’t really NEED a sequel compared to Days Gone which ended on such a cliff hanger twist.
