Uncharted... On the moon... Lol.

xHeavYx4242d ago

Hey, maybe he is after a secret artifact that Neil Armstrong hid when he went to the moon

Thehyph4242d ago

Oh, that silly Nathan! He always does the darndest things!

I don't even want to think about a next gen Uncharted, especially if some of those guys have been working on it since Uncharted 3 and were using next gen hardware. If they keep the linear nature of the game then the visuals will certainly set a standard for console games.
One can dream.

Ezz20134242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

i bet my arm on it
it's ...The Savage Starlight

mp12894242d ago

Uncharted 2 was released 2 years after drakes fortune and it was basically a 5 year quality game. Point is they are fast, and don't be surprised if they announce their next game soon.

Lovable4242d ago

sHIIII great idea there xHeavYx

This is Ancient Alien stuff here!!! Can't wait

Reverent4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

You're making too much sense. This is happening now thanks to you.

@Ezz, THAT would be incredible.

lsujester4242d ago

Ancient Aliens?

Don't tell Giorgio Tsoukalos.

ZodTheRipper4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

lol my reaction when reading that headline should have been taped

I really hope they drop a new IP before the next Uncharted.

Kingthrash3604242d ago

TIME TO REPLAY TLOU! GOTTA LOOK FOR SPACE REFERANCES! KNOWING ND THERE A HINT HIDDEN SOMEWHERE IN THE GAME.

turgore4242d ago

I dont want to be a party pooper, but wouldn't that lead to some very weird platforming sections. Nathan would jump 10 feet...very slooooowly.

shivvy244242d ago

If I remember correctly, there was a scene in Jak 3 darkmaker ship in space

Rageanitus4242d ago

@MP1289.

They release the game fast because they already had the base engine in place.

Just look at COD, the reason why they keep releasing it so quickly and with the same "feel" is because the engine is already developed.

HammadTheBeast4242d ago

Uncharted 4: Drake's Decepticons

You heard it here first.

mattdillahunty4242d ago

it would be nice if it was in space. because that would likely mean it's a new IP, which the industry needs more of. Uncharted and The Last of Us were amazing, but we don't need sequels. we need NEW franchises that continue to blow us away (like TLoU recently did).

pixelsword4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

*Drake hanging on the edge of a comet about to smash into the Earth*

"How the #@%& did I get here--I was just going to the fridge to make a sandwich!"

rainslacker4242d ago

Since Drake can't get into a vehicle without it eventually being destroyed or attacked, it makes me wonder what kind of cool things will be happening to him in space.:)

x5exotic4242d ago

No it's just that uc1's graphics were so mediocre thatuc2 fell victim to low expectations and got praised shitless, but i you want godly gfx AND GOOD stories, Sony Santa Monica is the way to go

President4242d ago

What a ridicilous title, nowhere does it imply their next game is in space. What the fuck.

AlexanderNevermind4242d ago

Savage Starlight....That sounds like a Helluva title.

GarrusVakarian4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

If there's one genre i would want ND to explore it would be sci fi. Imagine the Vistas, the sci fi music, the level design, the (alien) characters and story. Mmmmmmm.

@Lord_Sloth

Haha, yeah i agree. Im thinking more along the lines of the 'Alien/Aliens" OST. Some nice sci fi ambience.

Lord_Sloth4242d ago

As long as Sci Fi Music doesn't translate into Dubstep I'm all for it.

Pintheshadows4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

Jak and Daxter is sci-fi.

I hope so as well Lord_Sloth. Science fiction needs to have an awe inspiring soundtrack and I sincerely doubt Naughty Dog would do anything else considering the scores for Uncharted and TLOU. They both fit perfectly.

-wub-4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

I don't like Sci Fi, but ND could make me like it.

GuyThatPlaysGames4242d ago

@Lord_Sloth I'm with you on that! I'm tired of everything sounding "wubbbbbwubbbwubbbbbbbbrr rrrrrrbbrbrrbrbbrrrwubbbbwubbbw ubwubuwb" lol

I can imagine them making a firefly-esqe sci fi adventure.

It's a real stretch but I've been wondering if those comics in TLOU were the REAL Easter egg.

pyramidshead4242d ago

The Savage Starlight thing?

GribbleGrunger4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

Yes, I just noticed they mention it in the article. I just looked at the picture and the tweet. That would be a great place to do some gravity free mo-cap.

NateCole4242d ago

We are all hoping it is. Imagine a Sci FI bounty/alien relic hunter with a mix of indy/Han solo. Lots of humor and amazing action scenes.

It would be incredible.

The name Uncharted and the moon go well together lol.

hay4242d ago

Or dark side of the moon.

camel_toad4242d ago

I'd love it if they came up with a new space/interplanetary-based IP but I love me some Sci fi. They would have a very nice rotation of very different games - Uncharted for the Indy in all of us, The Last of Us because everyone loves a clicker, Jak and Daxter for platforming goodness, and then a space IP because space is cool.

cyclindk4242d ago

There IS a lot of charting needing to be done on the moon... in space... no one can hear... Nathan's witty sarcsm

Beastforlifenoob4242d ago

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING... After watching Gravity, I want an amazing space survival game and one thats made by Ndog? YES FUCKING PLEASE SIR!!!

Maybe drake was an alien all along

boneso824242d ago

Almost had an epileptic fit then... Dayum, that's trippy!

Syntax-Error4242d ago

You Sony fanboys kill your brand. So because it's in space you're looking at it as UNCHARTED ON THE MOON? Wow, what a bunch of kids. ND makes a great IP and everything they do now will be compared to UNCHARTED. Way to kill a franchise you idiots. Exclusives never survive on PS because of childish thinkers like yourselves.

boneso824242d ago

Woah calm down dude. Why the aggression? People are clearly just having a laugh with the moon ideas and such, take it all with a pinch of salt, its humorous then instead of rage inducing.

Also "exclusives never survive on PS"! Really? Gran Turismo, Uncharted, infamous, ratchet and clank, god of war, motorstorm, metal gear solid... I could go on... These are all high quality, long lasting playstation exclusives, and that's just for this gen, never mind ps1 and 2. What have MS got? Forza, Halo and Gears, oh and Titanfall is coming, that's it and that's all it ever has been! So if you don't like sci fi shooters or racing sims, you have no reason to play Xbox

trenso14242d ago

the way you make your point is unnecessary, but i do agree, while everyone is having a bit of a laugh with the uncharted moon thing. I don't see why people want another uncharted, since people are asking for a 4th. Three was very well done, but we don't need to see another one

Syntax-Error4237d ago

Bones maybe you haven't seen the sales of those games because if you did you would notice they all didnt sell that well except for Gran Turismo which has been around since 1995. None of those games come close to the 2 I mentioned. BTW I knew your lame ass would mention those titles and that's why my response was cued. Why dont you check on VGC and feel the embarrassment

Open World Game from ND will be great for a change.

Beastforlifenoob4242d ago

It wouldnt be great....
It would be THE greatest thing in gaming since PONG.

Y_51504242d ago

I don't know why you got disagrees. Jak series (mostly 2 & 3) were open world sci-fi adventure games.

I think people are wanting a new open world game from Naughty dog?

HammadTheBeast4242d ago

I dunno. The cinematics are what make Uncharted great. Open World would be hard and require a lot of resources.

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.

VenomUK23d 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.

OtterX23d 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.

RaidenBlack22d ago (Edited 22d 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

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.'

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

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

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 🗿.

On topic: the article has a point. I can see that happening

raWfodog42d ago

I could see this game having a similar feel to 'The Expanse' if it was to be adapted for TV. That's just based off of the looks and vibes that the trailer gives me since we don't know anything else about this game LOL.
