Naughty Dog Has “Several Cool” Things They “Can’t Wait to Share”, Urges Fans to Remain Patient

Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann has said that his studio has some things in the works that they can’t wait to share.

[TheExecutioner]

IF ND then I cannot wait too to see

I believe their next project will have something related to "space"

[RaidenBlack]

Yea, I want something sci-fi but also grounded. And a tease of it in late-2021 🤞🏻.
But before that, in near future, 4K@60 updates for Uncharted 4, LL and TLOU II.

[victorMaje]

🤞 & TLOU2 MP

[Sonic-and-Crash]

Personally i dont want to see any game from Druckman in collabaration with ND....and to explain myself i really would to love to see /play a game from Druckman separately that would have designed whith his own studio (team) and separately from ND .....ND is not a company to make personal opinion games and impact already successful IPs, ND is the best first party studio of PStation, is the tip of the spear for PS and needs wide acceptance , technologically perfect, super quality 3A games like Crash, Jak and Uncharted ...

Druckman needs his own studio to express himself however he wants (smhting like Kojima) i would really go buy and fully support his games but is not right to impact games that ve been created collectively , have tremendous success with their design/lore/type of game and are the flagships of one of the biggest companies in gaming

[cerpintaxt44]

@Sonic-and-Crash wtf are you on about dude? did you play the last of us 2?

[jznrpg]

@Sonic your out of luck then because he’s the head of the studio .

[solideagle]

uncharted and TLOU coming to PC /s

[Espangerish]

That would be a let down of comically epic proportions if it turned out that was the ‘big surprise’

[Atticus_finch]

You're going to be waiting for a long time.
You would be lucky to get U1.

[neomahi]

Kiss PS goodbye then, if its on PC, what need is there for a console, right? If console manufacturers just want to put it all on PC, why are they bothering with console exclusivity, do they figure by leaving the console war first, theyll look like SEGA? Honestly, SEGA left at their strongest moment and then once there was no console, somehow, the quality rappidly flew downhill like Sonic at the start of Sonic Adventure 2.

Its doing far more damage than it is good. Sonys install base is massive, they dont need the PC market. Theyre just doing it because Microsoft is and it seems like a good idea after as many years riding thr innovation highway, while Microsofts sales floundered, they had to come up with some way to get sales, and picking on the PC market seemed like a way to keep from drowning, problem is, even Microsofts PC service sucked so, now theyre hanging out at Steam.

[RaidenBlack]

( Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection + The Last of Us Remastered ) Bundle?

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

Savage Starlight

The comics Ellie collected.

*smiling*

[S2Killinit]

^ The comics, yes!

[ritchi45]

Hopefully Factions 2.0

[generic-user-name]

I really hope Factions 2 or TLOU Online or w/e they end up calling it, is truly expanded upon. They said the reason it wasn't included with TLOU2 was because they got too ambitious, so I want to see that ambition. I've seen rumours of a leaked 'Incursion' mode, would love if it was like an open Seattle map that you could scavenge in with friends and with PvP and PvE. That's what I would consider ambitious, if it's just the same modes from Factions 1 with no major improvements it'll be a let down (that I'll still play because Factions was great).

[SullysCigar]

Same here. They must have learned so much from Factions - even though they nailed it at the time - so I'm hoping for a huge improvement given the time that's passed between the two games' development.

So excited for it!

[rpvenom]

pretty sure it's going to be uncharted thieves end and last of us 2 ps5 versions included in this "several cool things". as well as the LOU2 multiplayer. Hopefully we see a new game announcement though.

[LegoIsAwesome]

Hmm several cool things. Either a TLOU2 MP or UC/Tlou series PC announcement. Jim Ryan is really the best if its the latter.

[SullysCigar]

Lol 0/10 for trolling

[LegoIsAwesome]

0/10 for trolling? Remember when HZD PC leak was laughed out by ppl? Look at that game now. Oh and Days Gone PC? Yep. So who's trolling?

You fanboys are quick to defend Sony. But when Xbox was in this situation laughed at them but with Sony "Its ok, its for so more people can play the game." LMAO. What a joke

[VenomCarnage89]

@Lego; you're being disagreed with because of the context of this info from ND. They wouldn't boast about cool things to come, while referring to pc ports, that's just obvious. I see it happening eventually, yeah, but that isn't what they're referring to here. Here they are talking about exciting stuff that will be relevant to their fanbase, which is on PlayStation.

Also, regarding the thing about Sony and MS fanboys you've mentioned, there's a huge difference between MS releasing every single game on PC on day 1, vs Sony doing it years later after sales have already dried up on their console.

[CrimsonWing69]

I'm hoping a new IP, which I know Jim Ryan said they're a big risk, but nothing ventured nothing gained.

[Jin_Sakai]

Some will work and some won’t. If not for taking chances no game would exist. We need new IP.

[CrimsonWing69]

100% in agreement with ya

[SierraGuy]

This ryan character needs to go.

[Tacoboto]

This was the only generation without a new IP from Naughty Dog too...

[mkis007]

Sony has more new ips each gen than any platform holder.

[CrimsonWing69]

Yet nowhere near as much as earlier generations.

You want to make comparisons? juxtapose the PS1 library original IPs to PS4 or even PS2 original IPs to PS4.

I get that game development is way more expensive, but giving consumers less and less original IPs isn’t doing the industry any favors.

[Army_of_Darkness]

@CrimsonWing69

Naw bro, you compare with other consoles and Sony is still way ahead in terms of new IP's... You can't compare ps4 to ps1! obviously the ps1 was a new platform so of course your gonna get shitloads of new ips! like duh...
ps4 on the other hand is more established so as a company of course they are gonna play it safe and use the more known ips like any other platform holder. which is why I have much respect for Sony's consoles cause they are still pumping out new ip's every gen unlike the other ones that play it way to safe.

[CrimsonWing69]

@Army_of_Darkeness

That doesn’t make sense. I’m comparing the companies previous generations to their current generations.

The PS4 was a new platform as is the PS5. I’m not sure what you mean by “new platform gets a shitload of new IPs”. Isn’t that how it should be with any new platform? ...like, duh?

Being more established means you play it safe? I’d venture to say if you were brand new to the industry you’d play it safe. It makes no sense to take risks starting out and being successful to take less risks. The only reason you see less IPs is the cost to develop games are substantially more expensive than in the past.

Still, my point is if you don’t take risks with new IPs the industry will get stagnant. Can you imagine if in the past they didn’t take a risk on something like The Last of Us just because they’re afraid to take the risk and instead just gave us more of a game that was successful from the generation before? It’d be like eating Thanksgiving leftovers all the time so-to-speak.

[jznrpg]

@CrimsonWings69 games cost a lot more to make and a lot more time these days so less new IP from everyone is obvious . But they still do it better than anyone

[kneon]

its really no different than the movie business. For every blockbuster movie that rakes in 100s of million there are a dozen that barely break even or even lose money.

[Abnor_Mal]

Currently play tlou2 for the first time, and damn what a game and story. So far ND have stepped their game up ten fold from the first, the story is engaging and as far as I can tell, realistic but I'm only at Abbys flash back foyr years earlier, thats where I stopped. Joel, oh man thats fkd but he had a past before Ellie and did things. The combat is so much better, the ability to go prone and use the tall grass as an advantage is awesome and I find myself stealing more than anything. I havent even started to use any explosives and traps. The shamblers, a new enemy type is a new twist and seem to be the missing link between clickers and boomers. Female clickers, nice, but don't know if there are any female shamblers boomers.

Why is Ellie still affected from infected spores if she is immune and can't be infected from a bite? Why are the infected even attacking Ellie as she is "tainted", thats different to the World War Z movie where the zombies ignored the old man.

I can't wait to see what Naughty Dog has in store for us next if tlou2 is anything to go by.

[Abnor_Mal]

Correction: stealthing not stealing.

Autocorrect I guess said stealthing isn't a word so he must mean stealing, imma hook him up and change it for him.

[VerminSC]

TLOU2 PS5 update or remaster
FACTIONS 2
New ip or tlou3

[Pancit_Canton]

Meh, I've lost interest of the current Naughty Dog now a days. It seems like force agenda is the only thing that coming out from that developer. Sucker Punch is my next Naughty Dog.

[PrinceAli]

loool... you people are genuinely SO weird looool

[PrinceAli]

@Zackeroniii

Looool.... ummm if you're confirming you that you accidentally replied to my reply using your Alt account then 100000000% you're biggest weirdo in this thread!! 😂😂😂
28514;

[Atticus_finch]

Funny because SP is following the footsteps of ND.
Grow up.

[Bebedora]

Surprise me, please. I beg of you.

[BlaqMagiq1]

TLOU2 MP incoming.

[Abnor_Mal]

The Last of Us3 Ellie is still the cure to the cordyceps infection, but it revealed that its Ellie who has to bite the infected. In doing so anyone infected but bitten by Ellie start to regress to their normal human self.

The earlier she bites an infected the more they are cured. So a runner is fully cured but a stalker will only regress to a runner. Soon the Fireflies are informed and they renew their attempts to harvest a serum of Ellie in hopes her saliva the key and an antidote could be manufactured. Bloaters would need five injections of the serum.

There still needs to be a new antagonist who likes the world the way it is and stops at nothing to prevent a cure being made by going after Ellie and attacking any Fireflies they cross paths with.

Ofc this is all bs, but what if...

[Espangerish]

I hope they go for a new IP entirely. Dont just want a prettier last of us or uncharted.

[yeahokwhatever]

please.

[Tetsdah]

I welcome it Druckman. I imagine the surprises tie to an upgrade for TLOU2, Factions 2.0, and maybe the new Ip. And boy have the rumors been all over the place. I think that it was pretty odd to have Dragon Slayer art claimed to be intended to be fan art for ACV. Then you have rumors tied to it being a sci-fi ip.

But I have been theorizing what it could be. What if it's the Time Splitters like premise, being heavily tied to time travel? So you may have scenarios being tied to Medieval fantasy eras or Sci-Fi era time periods. Of course with a mature, dark twist. And gimme that gore from TLOU2 for dark fantasy and sci-fi. Make me feel uncomfortable.

[Gamist2dot0]

But in the meantime, how about PS5 updates for TLOU2 and Uncharted?

[PrinceAli]

Absolute FACTSSS!!! I would finish Uncharted 4 again!

[Atticus_finch]

I think that's the surprise. 😀

[Ninver]

While they're at it we could use a patch for all Uncharted games for ps5. Imagine U2 60fps 4k with ray tracing 😮

[isarai]

Hopefully they still have the same quality after so many leads and veterans leaving the studio during TLOU2 development

[BehindTheRows]

Tell us, how many left?

[isarai]

https://kotaku.com/as-naugh...

[BehindTheRows]

@DarthMarvin

Evidently not, since Naughty Dog’s most successful games were not written by her.

I say that as a massive fan of Hennig’s and whose favorite Naughty Dog game was mostly down to her writing (Drake’s Fortune).

[BehindTheRows]

Though the article is both informative and heavily repetitive and drawn out, it stresses the ‘non-leads’ that have left. More importantly, Naughty Dog addressed this in more recent interviews...

https://www.google.com/amp/...

I’m not too worried it, particularly with Druckmann’s promotion and his tackling of this critical issue.

[Redemption-64]

Wow, you are one of those sheeps that post a link without even reading it. Tell me where in this article does it say so many leads and veterans leaving the studio during TLOU 2 development?

This is literally the quote from the article:
Of the 20 non-lead designers in the credits of 2016’s Uncharted 4, a whopping 14—70 percent—are no longer at the studio. Since you are obviously not smart enough to understand, let me break it down, since 2016, a team of 20 non-lead designers lost about 14-70% of its members. Basically between 2016-2020, between 3-14 people out of 20 left the company.

Honest question, why do you feel the need to lie? Then post a link you obviously didn't even read? Can't wait to read your response to this lie you just told.

[AmUnRa]

You guys keep repeating the lies dont you? Whats wrong with you people??

[Redemption-64]

I think it's the only way they can deal with reality. It's actually getting sad seeing them openly keeping to the same lie over and over again.

[MADGameR]

It better be TLOU2's multiplayer Factions with 60FPS and ray tracing gameplay in the campaign with extra modes for PS5.

[Binarycode]

New games please PS5, don't care about MP.

[Atticus_finch]

You will care once you see factions in action.

[Bigman4k]

Fingers crossed 🤞 for uncharted 5 or Jak & Daxter reboot

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Dude, that second one though.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

TLoU and Uncharted Collection on PC.

[Ausbo]

“Several”. So I’m guessing a last of us 2 ps5 version, last of us multiplayer, and a new IP?

[StormSnooper]

They are my favorites. I’m really excited for what they might have in store for PS5

[DigitalDaniel]

Overall I enjoyed TLOU2, but I didn't enjoy the story and how it was told as much as I did with TLOU1.
I honestly never thought once about the game being "woke". Had nothing to do with why I liked it less.
The way they told the story with constantly jumping back and forth in the timeline ruined a lot of the surprises when it came to key story events. Not a good move. And the ending was just flat out weird and somewhat illogical when taking the characters journey into consideration. Just wasn't really believable to me.

I would be perfectly fine with just having TLOU1. For me it was close to a perfect story told in a post-apocalyptic "zombie" world. I also feel they're a bit late with making in a tv series. It would have made more sense to build on the story after the first one for the tv format. Now that feels punctured given that we know the fate of some characters already.

[Pyrofire95]

I agree, the frequent jumping in time does not do it for me. In the first game you grow together but in 2 it's more like you're just checking in on everyone.

[Elda]

I really didn't get into ND until the PS3 & PS4 era with the Uncharted series & TLOU which I enjoyed. Hopefully they're doing something new/original & interesting.

[cd1]

Same here. I didnt even play an Uncharted game until after the 3rd was released, now ND are one of my favourite Devs. I'm hoping for something completely new and dont really care for the MP aspect of any of their current games if i'm being honest.

Something sci-fi would be good.

[InUrFoxHole]

Other than TLOU2, ND hasn't let me down. Excited to see what they're up to.

[DigitalDaniel]

I really enjoyed the multiplayer for TLOU1. It was a sleeper hit that deserved to be more fleshed out.
So I am really interested to see how fleshed out the standalone multiplayer will be for TLOU2. Sony barely got exclusive multiplayer games, and even fewer of them are good. Their strength is their story games like Uncharted, The Last of Us, Spider-Man, God of War etc.

When it comes to Naughty Dog I really hope they make something new next time. I wouldn't be mad if they made another Uncharted, I love those games. But it would be nice if Naughty Dog could do something sci-fi with RPG elements, while sticking to a very cinematic experience as they're know for.

[Pyrofire95]

I had some fun in MP TLOU but going back later was only highly skilled players. With no skill based matchmaking it was just wildly frustrating.

[Pyrofire95]

My hope is some experimenting with a smaller scale new IP. I'd really like to see them bring their sauce to different kinds of games.

[Aussiesummer]

Imagine what eye candy they have in store for us this gen, I cannot wait...but I'll have to.

[on_line_forever]

The last of Lesbian 3 !!

[plexdk]

Very mature.

[neomahi]

..... What happened to a silent Naughty Dog? They used to stay well hidden until there was something to show. I swear, Neil Druckmans the worst Co-President in ND history. What do you wanna best Anthony Newmans next in line. Eh, bring back Balestra. Things seemed far more balanced, made more sense, and overall just ran better when it was he and Evans Wells. Bruce Straley wouldve easily been a much better alternative but, he never stuck around. Eh, I hate what Naughty Dogs become.....

[Ninver]

Something new for a new gen of consoles

[moriarty1889]

hope we get a new Uncharted. Love that series.

[SaveFerris]

Titanic game? New main character an OAP?

[leahcim]

ND to PC platform... so obvious ...

[sourOG]

Every studio has things they can’t wait to share lol. What’s this captain obvious shit for exactly? For the comment section to speculate on things that probably aren’t going to happen lol

[yeahokwhatever]

i hope it has nothing to do with TLOU or Uncharted. Uncharted was great. But leave it alone. its done. in a good way. TLOU was never a fun game(IMO), so i really don't want to see the talent wasted like that.

[NotanotherReboot]

Jak and Daxter: A New Legacy

[jznrpg]

I am definitely interested but I don’t care for teases of teases just give a small taste at least!!

[Games1st]

Several can mean more than 3 and less than 10.

[DFresh]

I would love a remaster Uncharted 2 & 3 Multiplayer/Co Op which never made it into the BluePoint Games release apparently which is ridiculous.
I'd prefer them to do a new IP also.
