Naughty Dog Did Hide PS4 Release Date in "The Last Of Us"

Naughty Dogs was well aware of the actual release date of Playstation 4 (even before its official announcement at GamesCom 2013). Not only this, Naughty Dog even hide PS4 release date in "The Last of Us".

Lovable4310d ago

Out of all the dates they would put that. They did this with U3 as well, but that one regarding The last of us game.

MajorLazer4310d ago (Edited 4310d ago )

@Mep

They get confused with a lot

Edit: accidentaly replied to badboy. Apologies

abzdine4309d ago

I wonder if 12/1 has something to do with some kind of announcement with their upcoming game on PS4. Maybe VGAs date? Or Some DLC announcement for TLG?

alexkoepp4309d ago

You guys are all high if you think it is anything other than coincidence

It reads 11/15 12/1... if you add the 12/1 you get 13, 11/15/13.... ND has been hinting us the whole time lol.

ABizzel14310d ago

12 + 1 = 13

That's a good one, but it could also mean they reveal their next games on 12/1 (December first, which should be around VGA time)

Last year it was held December 7 (Friday), December 1, 2013 (Sunday). Seems plausible, or at least an announcement trailer.

ginsunuva4310d ago

Yeah I dont think 12/1 means to add them.

11/15 is enough; we know what year it's releasing.

12/1 is probably something else.

filipakos4310d ago

11/15/13 is PS4 release date so they hid 2 things in one?:P

Ritsujun4310d ago (Edited 4310d ago )

12/1 is the announcement of UC4.

TheLyonKing4310d ago

There's not 15th months in a year!

U.K trolling ;)

mep694310d ago

@TheLyonKing

That's not trolling it's just a fact, it's common sense to go day month year. The same as seconds minutes hours. It's basic maths, start with the smaller and work up to th larger.

Somehow America got confused along the way.

Quicktopick4310d ago

@abizzel1
that would be a double wammy if they will show something on that date

hkgamer4310d ago

@mep69

Your digital clock/watch must look strange if it is in seconds:minutes:hours format...

dmeador4310d ago

I like the more relevant info first. When I look at a date for whatever (say a concert) I want to know the month more than the day. Never will you look at the day/month format and be able to disregard something, but if its in month/day setup you can quickly see if something has already happened in the past or is too far out for some reason. And when I say quickly its about half a second, haha.

Pixel_Enemy4310d ago

It probably meant that the release window was planned for 11/15 through 12/1. I am not sure the exact date was set when ND was still making TLOU. Just my two cents.

mep694309d ago

@hkgamer

Lol you use a Digital watch ? Not me, thanks to technology I have a phone. How ever if I was to wear a watch, it would be a trusty mechanical watch. Pfft digital watches.

Also for further reference, the seconds are what make the minutes. People don't need to mention them when telling someone the time, which I might add is completely irrelevant to you being butthurt over realising you've been doing it wrong all this "time".

ziggurcat4309d ago (Edited 4309d ago )

" ND has been hinting us the whole time lol."

no, they weren't. stupid people are overreaching in their assumptions.

remember when people thought that the ad for PSASBR was a PS4 announcement?

Sitdown4310d ago

If this is truly the case, it just continues to confirm how much Sony has had everything mapped out for a while....and their continued positive strides are not by accident.

Blacksand14310d ago

Your right they been working on the PS4 for 3-4 Years.

bigfish4310d ago

How dare they hide this information from us!, im not going to buy another naughty dog game again!

T24310d ago

Haha you got a disagree ... Someones joke detector is broken

camel_toad4310d ago

It's the Half-Life 3 release date! Naughty Dog is so sly!

iiwii4310d ago

Maybe 30% off was the Vita price drop or Vita memory price cut. Don't work out to exactly 30% though, but its in that general area.

hqgamez4310d ago

ps4 rounded to 30% off ps3 launch price

AKS4310d ago

It would have been amusing if the difference in price between the Xbone and PS4 worked out to be 30%, but you can't have everything I guess.

If only they'd made the sign read 25%.

kparks4310d ago

I like when company's do things like this but for me if they really collaborated to put the date in the game sony at E3 should of came out and said the relese date is out there already in a premier game see if u guys can find it that would of been really cool!

Lovable4310d ago

I know it would have been a huge hunt! I think that would be fun

timl2414309d ago

Orrrr, now get this, they just put in a random date and it just so happened to be the PS4 release date. Crazy idea, I know...

dragon824309d ago

It very well could have been dumb luck but ND are known for leaving clues of future products in their games.

Neil Druckmann Reveals He’s Working on an Unannounced Game at Naughty Dog

Neil Druckmann, the creative director of The Last of Us, is working on a new, unannounced game at Naughty Dog.

RaidenBlack23d ago

I know they've expertise in third person games.
But given the lack there of in PS catalog, I'd want the other project to be a narrative first person ND game.
Look, there are lots of 3rd person Sony games in variety of flavors. And ND is already doing intergalactic. And since they're pretty expert at gameplay and tech wise in whatever they do, they can easily venture a new genre and ship a first person game/shooter.

VenomUK22d ago

Hopefully the lead character is a boss babe who will challenge the patriarchy.

RaidenBlack22d ago

So, judging from the dislikes, hardcore Sony fans here don't like first person games, anymore?

arkard22d ago

Let naughty dog do what they are great at, 3rd person games

crazyCoconuts22d ago

I don't really have a big opinion on first vs third person perspective. That's one of the least important things to me when rating how much I like a game

Flewid63822d ago

Sounds horrible. The downvotes are right on this one.

badz14922d ago

I actually hate 1st person. very hard to associate with a character you only see their hands most of the time.

OtterX22d ago

funny thing is with failures like Concord and soon to be Marathon, Factions could have been Sony's guaranteed huge success with a shooter! I don't ever play online shooters anymore, but I would have come out of shooter retirement for a new Factions game.

RaidenBlack21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

{ coming from the above thread }
So PS Fellas hate first person games now? (Understandable)
But praise Killzone and Resistance series, as well?
And hope for a return of first party first person games? ~ but from where? insomniac is deep in marvel territory, guerilla is deep in aloy territory ... suckerP are not as big to undertake that change + dedicated to Ghost series
The only options are ND and Santa Monica, who are rumoured to be involved in parallel projects. ~ so take your pick.
And the other 'new' studios at Sony are not that hot right now with knee deep in live service fiasco

darthv7222d ago

...Way of the Warrior 2: Electric Boogaloo

Amplitude22d ago

It’d be cool if they bought the Parappa licence and made Parappa 3 that’d be the real good timeline

Lightning7723d ago

Wait I thought they cancelled a game? Or did they announce another project?

https://wccftech.com/naught...

pwnmaster300023d ago (Edited 23d ago )

I’m assuming it’s the unannounced game in the title you posted.

“Naughty Dog Reportedly Canceled a Single Player Game This Year, But Another Unannounced Game Is Still in the Works“

Lightning7722d ago

OK I gotcha. That makes sense.

jznrpg22d ago

Devs cancel games all the time early stages if it doesn’t turn out the way they envisioned it. We just don’t hear about every one of them.

Notellin22d ago

Yeah only a narcissist like Druckmann would announce a game this early that has a 99% chance of being cancelled.

badz14922d ago

so a 2028 release at the soonest

Lightning7722d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Some speculate it could be Uncharted spin off. It's already 3 years in production so yeah 2028 maybe 2027 at the absolute earliest but most likely 28 release.

Also to add. kojimas next game that's not OD is said to be 5 to 6 years out for PS. That metal gear inspired game. These games are just too far off it seems.

pwnmaster300023d ago

This dude is busy.
So who is running intergalactic?

Knushwood Butt23d ago

'We have several directors on Intergalactic. I work with two game directors: Matthew Gallant and Kurt Margenau, [and] I have a co-writer in Clair Carré.'

pwnmaster300022d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Okay you got me, I skimmed the article and video .
Thanks lol

vTuro2422d ago

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

itBourne22d ago

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

Flewid63822d ago

Sunlight is good for you, I promise. lol

vTuro2422d ago

Damage has been done but it's not too late yet if they dump him now. Probably won't happen though. It's sad, honestly. We'll see what happens after Intergalactic. That game is going to have a huge impact one way or another.

StormSnooper22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Yes because they didn’t make some of the greatest games. Right, we all just agree to live in your fantasy from now on.

Flewid63822d ago

yall say that about ever developer and then they end up becoming more successful lol

mkis00722d ago

Downfall? If anything he is a huge reason they are on the map! A few apes don't like the material hasn't stopped his games from being massive hits.

DarXyde22d ago

I have grievances with Druckmann, but he does deserve some benefit of the doubt. He's been in crucial roles at the company through all of their successes.

Maybe wait and see?

Ex-Naughty Dog Dev Says Resident Evil 4 Inspired Uncharted and Many More Action Games

Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.

CrimsonWing6924d ago

It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.

CrimsonWing6923d ago

No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.

I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.

InUrFoxHole24d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske24d ago

I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games

italiangamer24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.
