The Last of Us Director Teases Next Game

Neil Druckmann, director of The Last of Us, recently took to Twitter to tease about a possible concept for a potential game.

Crossbones4242d ago

Uncharted 4 - 2014
The Last Of Us 2 - 2015

Treezy5044242d ago

I would love a new IP honestly. Naughty Dog is one of the best studios that can keep coming up with original games that are bound to stand the test of time. Whatever they make it's going to be gold.

@badboy776

Way to waste half your bubbles...

Eonjay4242d ago

Sone people don't realize that Naughty Dog isn't just one team. They are two teams and together they form the most impressive Studio in recent memory. Where the Uncharted team excelled, the LOU team inherited, and improved upon. That studio alone promises to deliver first class entertainment at every turn.

Prime1574242d ago

/clap that's the best way I've ever heard that said, you bring a tear to my eye.

Crash for ps1, Jak for ps2, UC and TLoU for ps3, what's next? I hope it's new in conjunction with what you said.

SaturdayNightBeaver4242d ago

oh i would so love to see next-gen crash. but new IP is new IP :D

Honestly, I wish people stop talking about The Last Of Us 2. I feel like that game was a masterpiece all by itself. Let it stand on it's own. It doesn't need a sequel.

KillrateOmega4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

This.

I don't want to risk seeing it dragged through the mud for the sake of more money. It was a work of art and told the story that it wanted to tell. Let it end on a very high note.

Not all games need sequels.

rainslacker4242d ago

Maybe just bring one out at the end of each generation. It seemed a fitting title. Although Sony is still bringing out first party games on the PS3 post PS4 launch, but still.

Austin484242d ago

With all do respect I disagree the last of us is a big universe it doesant have to be Joel and Ellie again it could be a whole another group of people and trust me when I say this even if its a new group naughty dog will make an excellent game

brave27heart4242d ago

I dont think they'll do a Last of Us 2. Uncharted they can run and run with so I expect 2 more Uncharteds on PS4, but Im expecting 2 new games inbetween. My guess is Jak and Daxter at some point and Savage Starlight.

Summons754242d ago

Iagree while I would like to see that world explored more through the eyes of ths fireflies, or government. I don't wany a last of us 2

linkenski4242d ago

So true. TLoU ended perfectly and people saying it "leads up to a sequel" are wrong. Anyhow the franchise just doesn't need one. The more they expand on that universe the less significant the first game seems which is a shame, because I wanna remember everything I know about that universe by thinking "TLoU".

I hope their next project is Sci-fi as has been teased before.

Underworld4241d ago

I would love a sequel. There are so many stories that could be told in that world.

sobekflakmonkey4242d ago

I don't want another "The last of us", it would honestly cheapen the whole experience, it's a one off game that was so beautifully done and doesn't need a sequel at all, and there really shouldn't be one, it pretty much ended the current gen for me, and it was the perfect way to go, also, sequels usually aren't that amazing (when it comes to games that are heavily story driven), yes it may work for FPS games like BF, CoD, Killzone, Crysis and so on so forth, but that's only because those games focus more on a multi-player experience rather than a story driven one, not all games need sequels.

Irishguy954242d ago

Hoping for a new sci fi game from them. Apparently there is one too :)

I don't want another Uncharted or LoU. I want new ips. Look what happens when NDD do new ips

Crash > Jak > Uncharted > Last of Us

Keep new **** coming.

itBourne4242d ago

I hope with all my might that they are working on a new ip and not TLoU 2!

Sideras4242d ago

They've pretty much shown they are capable of whatever they want, so I'd prefer new IP's from both their teams tbh. The gaming industry is just to stagnant, and at the dawn of a new generation we need fresh titles.

Goro4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

Naughty Dog only make 1 game every 2 years...at least that's been the case up until now.

assdan4242d ago

Uncharted 4 will happen at some point. And I honestly hope the last of us 2 doesn't. That was a great stand alone game, and I feel like the story couldn't be as good in the same universe. The only chance at a similarly compelling story would be Joel and Tommy when during the beginning of the outbreak.

JoSneak4241d ago

the last of us is one of a kind! no sequel please!!!!

kungfuian4242d ago

As much as I'd love sequels to both Uncharted and The Last of US, I'd much rather see new IP's from them. They are such a talented team, it seems better to let them flex their creative muscles with original/unique IP's. Let Sony's smaller up and coming studios do the sequels under their supervision.

ELCUCO4242d ago

I want Alien abductions!!

MAULxx4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

If that movie poster was actually what they were doing....
How awesome would that be?
Am I sensing a Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon vibe here because it has 80s written all over it.
A space game with an 80s sensibility but with better acting & story telling.
Go for it ND. This would be epic.

NeoTribe4242d ago

If there looking for a concept of a game, don't expect this for a few years. They obviously havnt started making this new ip or whatever it is.

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.

RaidenBlack25d 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.

VenomUK25d ago

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

RaidenBlack25d ago

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

arkard25d ago

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

crazyCoconuts24d 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

Flewid63824d ago

Sounds horrible. The downvotes are right on this one.

badz14924d ago

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

OtterX25d 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.

RaidenBlack24d ago (Edited 24d 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

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

Lightning7725d ago

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

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

pwnmaster300025d ago (Edited 25d 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“

Lightning7725d ago

OK I gotcha. That makes sense.

jznrpg24d 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.

Notellin24d ago

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

badz14924d ago

so a 2028 release at the soonest

Lightning7724d ago (Edited 24d 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.

pwnmaster300025d ago

This dude is busy.
So who is running intergalactic?

Knushwood Butt25d 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.'

pwnmaster300024d ago (Edited 24d ago )

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

vTuro2425d ago

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

itBourne24d ago

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

Flewid63824d ago

Sunlight is good for you, I promise. lol

vTuro2424d 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.

StormSnooper24d ago (Edited 24d 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.

Flewid63824d ago

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

mkis00724d 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.

DarXyde24d 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?

Christopher65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

As expected. Unless it's going to Xbox or Switch 2, we can stop hearing about these older games now? We can move on to just news about new games?

darthv7264d ago

....until the PS6 remake followed by the PS7 reboot

Christopher64d ago

Man, first year of PS6 is going to be 90% remasters. I'm going to hate it and likely hold off until new games actually get released that I can't play on my PS5.

Cacabunga64d ago

Yes I’m waiting for complete remaster…. On ps5

OtterX64d ago

...20 years later, "you haven't heard the last of us yet!" *releases The Last of Us Retro Collection*

cloganart64d ago

@Christopher

Oof, yeah. I don't think I'm picking up the PS6 until "Pro" comes out 😂

Cacabunga64d ago

I haven’t played Tlou1 since PS3 and i have the greatest memory of it

Notellin64d ago

I'm already dreading all the cross generation games and remasters we'll see with the next round of consoles.

LonDonE64d ago

lmao this is getting ridiculous but thing is if people keep buying them.. then why would they stop making them?
Peeps STOP BUYING this game.. that actually hurts me to say this as the last of us is high up on my greatest games of all times.. its one of the few games i played through start to finish 3/4 times back to back as i loved it so much. But sony need to stop, give us a Resistance 3 remaster, i would love and buy that.. such an underated series as was killzone.
Or give us infamous.. so many great series and titles i would gladly buy but they just want to keep giving us last of us.

I am done buying that game.. i would only buy part 2 remaster if they remade it and kept joel alive, or i am not interested. Hate last of us 2s story killing off joel.. the actual game is stunning and incredible, they improved so much in the gameplay department but i hate the story with a passion.

We can stop hearing about it when they stop re-releasing them I guess.

I reckon the ps6 version will be 8k 240 and I'll still not care.

I miss new games from nd

Inverno64d ago

And HBO just announced season 3 even tho LoU2 couldn't possibly be so long that it wouldn't be able to fit in 1 season. They're just milking it at this point.

darthv7264d ago

speaking of the HBO series... I felt they should have made part 1 across two seasons, then address part 2 in seasons 3 and 4. so now i have a feeling they rushed through part 1 in season 1 to make season 2 a cliff hanger with Joel's impending demise being the starting point to Season 3.

-Foxtrot64d ago

I love how they decided to rush, chop and change things for Season 1 to get through the game yet for TLOU Part II it’s like “we’re going to do multiple seasons and take our time”

Inverno64d ago

Okay after seeing that there's only 7 episodes I take it back. Though I think it's incredibly stupid not to have just made the season longer. Another season just to finish what could've just been a 13 episode season seems counterintuitive but aiight. I put that on HBO tho.

Neonridr64d ago

This will be the 4th time Sony sells us The Last of Us Part 1.. And the 2nd time on the PS5.

Knushwood Butt64d ago

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

NotoriousWhiz64d ago

Strange, I thought the record went to Street Fighter 2.

FPS_D3TH64d ago

We are approaching Skyrim levels here

Profchaos64d ago

At this point we are at Skyrim in terms of frequency. Skyrim was one per generation. If you exclude VR Skyrim we've now exceeded it

Tlou 1 PS3, 1 PS4 2 ps5
Skyrim 1 ps360 2 PS4/x1/vr 1 ps5/sx

Tlou 4
Skyrim 4

Christopher64d ago

Not quite. Skyrim had:

PS3/360/PC
PS4/X1
VR
Switch
Skyrim Special Edition PC/PS4/X1
Skyrim Special Edition PS5/XSX

VersusDMC64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Also add skyrim bundles like the one below and all the humble bundles since that's what everyone is doing here

https://www.xbox.com/en-CA/...

darthv7264d ago

@Chris, LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base. At least Skyrim was able to sell to a wider audience via different platforms.

Christopher64d ago

@darthv72: I don't know why you're telling me that. I only corrected on number of Skyrim re-releases/ports/etc. I didn't say anything else.

Profchaos64d ago

@christopher guess I forgot just how much was out I think the special editions are technically one release despite being cross platform though would the Alexa version count

Christopher64d ago

@Profchaos: I guess, but I'd consider it a separate release since it rolled them into one at a later date but definitely there is a PS5/XSX version with PS5/XSX supported updates specific to them.

Chevalier64d ago

"LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base"

Weird. Like 35% of PS5 owners are NEW to Playstation. Plus this is really for new fans from the TV series for season 2 of TLOU.

I recall the same idiotic comments when the 1st one was remade just before TLOU TV Series came out and it went on the be one of the best selling games that year.

So maybe get your FACTS straight. Unlike Skyrim getting literally releases in 3 generations and 10 releases.

No. Those are remakes. Not remasters

@FPS - we've had quite a few RE4 remasters, only 1 remake.

CrimsonWing6963d ago (Edited 63d ago )

@FPS_D3TH

It blows my mind how people do some mental gymnastics to try to cope with a game they like doing the same thing (technically more) they’re complaining about for another game.

RE4 - PS2, GC
RE4 w Motion Controls - Wii
Literally RE4 HD Remaster - Xbox 360, PS3
I’m assuming a port of RE HD - PS4, Xbox One
RE4 Remake - PS5, Xsex

1 Remake and the bunch are Remasters… how, I mean how—Y’know what, it doesn’t matter anymore…

P_Bomb64d ago

Store says I already own it. I guess it’s just a straight twin-pack. Looks like they added 4 maps to ‘No Return’.

VersusDMC64d ago

You don't need to buy this to get the maps, marlene and bill. It all got patched in to the game on the 3rd.

P_Bomb64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Good to know. I’ve watched runs of ‘No Return’ but have yet to try it myself. Soon, soon 😉

Knushwood Butt64d ago

Yeah, No Return got a content update.
Three new trophies too.
