Just poking fun, but on a serious note this piece was set to be written awhile ago. I drew some real concern right around the time when I first read the news of Naughty Dog choosing not to upgrade their engine for the next generation console of games on the PlayStation 4. Here’s why.
"VoxPop Games Inc. and Ratalaika Games S.L are today very happy and excited to announce that their indie horror hit "OUTER TERROR", is coming to consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores on April 12th, 2024." - VoxPop Games Inc. and Ratalaika Games S.L .
Atlantic City - America’s Playground is the dark and dramatic sequel to the glitz and glam of Atlantic City – Boardwalk Paradise.
The combat in this and ESO are some of the worst combat I have ever seen in current games.
A Pure dogsh7 "expansion". Same typical fallout 76 recyeling of assets and every mission is more the same grueling shi7. Remember, this is the results of your 76 membership working for you. Nice to see you putting those funds to good use there Bethesda. A Mod team could have cooked this crap in a month.
The Nerd Stash: “The letter scene in Grandia is a magnificent, layered early example of the game's wonderful NPC interactions, and a real tear-jerker.”
Not worried about it, it's ND they have presented us with several masterpiece titles and the change of direction of titles while proving they can do it.
No need to fear Naughty Dog is Here!
With a few tweaks I don't think we can worry. I mean look how amazing the uncharted series and the last of us looks. Plus with the more available ram this Gen I'm positive they can produce something outstanding. Naughty Dog=Brilliance.
I don't think people have any idea how hard it is to come up with a "new" engine.
Why should we be worried? First of all, it's Naughty Dog. Secondly, if your current engine looks and runs great, then why not build from that and make it better? It would cost too much money to create a new engine from scratch.
are we also not forgetting Sony's ICE Engine team? Most of Sony games are built around resources and programs built by ICE.
