Neil Druckmann, director of The Last of Us, recently took to Twitter to tease about a possible concept for a potential game.
Neil Druckmann, the creative director of The Last of Us, is working on a new, unannounced game at Naughty Dog.
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.
So, judging from the dislikes, hardcore Sony fans here don't like first person games, anymore?
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
I actually hate 1st person. very hard to associate with a character you only see their hands most of the time.
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.
{ 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
Wait I thought they cancelled a game? Or did they announce another project?
https://wccftech.com/naught...
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“
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.
Yeah only a narcissist like Druckmann would announce a game this early that has a 99% chance of being cancelled.
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.
'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.'
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.
Yes because they didn’t make some of the greatest games. Right, we all just agree to live in your fantasy from now on.
yall say that about ever developer and then they end up becoming more successful lol
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.
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?
I would prefer if Naughty Dog was working on an unreleased game without Neil Druckmann
Not sure that makes sense all all of his projects (including the TV show) have been wildly successful. Also keep in mind he is not making games by himself in a vacuum. He has is large team working with him. And Intergalactic looks really compelling so far.
I was thinking the same thing, does anyone else at Naughty Dog ever get the chance to make a game, or is it all controlled by the activist clown.
It was in every movie, tv show, and game since Obama. You can't even win an Oscar without strict casting guidelines. I worked at an non-profit arts counsel that used to do nothing but concerts - but by the end nearly every event was a gay thing or a race thing. Had to say land acknowledgments before every show (Good luck pronouncing those names in front of a crowd). That's all we could get grants for. Its cool - just like how when the US Institute of Peace was shuttered the Tesla riots stopped - most of the funding for the billions of dollars of USAID grants for LGBTQ have already been cut. Their new game was already in development but we'll see.
Be gay. Be trans. Be whatever you want. Just stop using American tax dollars to advertise it globally. Defund all censorship and let people be people.
Edit: Wait im on N4G. My brain was in 𝕏 mode. Pls don't ban me
Great news to me. I loved all of the games that he's been involved with. Looking forward to hearing/seeing more about it.
I honestly didn't think TLOU2 game was that bad, it was fun and the game overall was like an 8/10. The writing and story is where it fumbled due to Neil Druckman's bad decisions, character designs, the letting go of Amy Henning, and the direction. It all fell apart due to those factors. I honestly think that the devs themselves are talented and capable they just need to get rid of Druckman and put someone in charge that isn't idealists and lacking vision
It could be. The Lost Legacy director returned to ND a couple of years ago and he’s working on a game.
Doesn't matter how much hate this guy receives, naughty dog as a whole always gets a lot of attention for good or for bad, and for me personally, I'll continue to support them and give them their props as I've enjoyed the journey so far, even if I don't always agree with the decisions. It's their vision and my choice to be part of it.
PlayStation - The Concert is a magical musical experience for fans of the brand.
Two award-winning masterpieces, together in one incredible collection.
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?
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.
...20 years later, "you haven't heard the last of us yet!" *releases The Last of Us Retro Collection*
@Christopher
Oof, yeah. I don't think I'm picking up the PS6 until "Pro" comes out 😂
I'm already dreading all the cross generation games and remasters we'll see with the next round of consoles.
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
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.
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.
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”
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.
This will be the 4th time Sony sells us The Last of Us Part 1.. And the 2nd time on the PS5.
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
Not quite. Skyrim had:
PS3/360/PC
PS4/X1
VR
Switch
Skyrim Special Edition PC/PS4/X1
Skyrim Special Edition PS5/XSX
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/...
@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.
@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.
@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
@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.
"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.
@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…
Store says I already own it. I guess it’s just a straight twin-pack. Looks like they added 4 maps to ‘No Return’.
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.
Good to know. I’ve watched runs of ‘No Return’ but have yet to try it myself. Soon, soon 😉
It's a package with both games (part 1 and part 2) like the FF7 remake twin pack or the RE raccoon city edition...why are people treating this like its another remaster?
It is just another way for the studio to bring in revenue without actually putting out any content. We as a whole need to stop supporting these rereleases and pay premium for it.
Naughty dog has gone through the entire PS5 generation so far without putting out a single new game. Just rereleases and remasters.
The fact that this edition is called complete also indicates that there will be no part 3. Naughty dog is now all in on their next gen release Intergalactic the Heretic prophecy.
Yep... this is just like Razor & Tie and how they repackage the same songs on the various Monster Ballads CD's. People think they are different because the artwork and track order are different.
Anyone over the age of 40 should get this reference.
***The fact that this edition is called complete also indicates that there will be no part 3. ***
Druckmann has already confirmed that there won't be a Part 3.
Receipt: https://www.polygon.com/new...
That is slated to come after the reboot on PS7. Part 3 will be a key release for the PS8
I was already aware of his previous statements but I always thought anything can happen. The studio could have even chosen to do a part 3 without him while he works on the new game.
Now that we have received this edition, it is now safe to say Naughty dog is done with the last of us. Atleast until the next remaster.
Just when you think it's over lmao
I thought tlou2 remaster on pc would be it for a while
Last of Us Complete... but only because Last of Us Hyper Deluxe Ultimate Edition X & Knuckles doesn't fit on the box.
I really wish they would cut this out. I mean there is only Last of Us 1 and 2 and they act as if there are 3 or more of them. All the repackaging and reselling is getting out of hand.
It feels like this franchise has been shoved in our faces every 2 years for the last decade.
I already own both games on PS5 as they are amongst my fave games. I understand the discussion around Sony's release of the games but I will say, it seems like an understandable and sensible business decision to release this double pack on just as Season 2 of the TV shows.
So, we’re upset because they bundled both games together and are selling them? If you have them you can, I dunno, walk away? Clearly, this is Sony capitalizing on whatever new interest gets drummed up from Season 2 of the show…
Here’s what I do in situations like this, I just don’t buy it. I’ve seen these bundles for things like the Far Cry series, Ass Creed series, hell just go on the PS Deals page and you’ll find a bunch. I don’t see why this is anything to complain about. It’s not like a “new” remaster or anything.
assassins creed games weren't re-released multiple times at that point, same with far cry
How is this a re-release? It’s a bundle, plain and simple.
Exactly like all the bundles I see when going on the deals page on PSN. If you have the The Last of Us Part 1 Remake and The Last of Us Part 2 Remaster, this isn’t for you. If you don’t, then this is a great buy to have them all in 1 along with a unique collectors steelbook and some extra goodies.
I don’t see why this is anything to get upset about.
^^....because they are releasing it again, what don't you understand about that term?
Bundling it does not absolve it from being released 'again'. There are countless things that have an initial release and then any time they are repackaged or rebranded or repurposed... they are considered re-released. it's pretty self explanatory.
@darthv72
What the f*ck does it matter if it gets re-released!? If you already own them, who gives a sh*t?
I’m not the one with the confusion on what this is. I see people treating this as if it’s another Remake or Remaster, when it’s a bundle of the games in a single package. Did you get your panties in a bunch when a Plague Tale did this or the f*cking Batman Arkham trilogy did this? So, what’s the major issue with this?
^^ "How is this a re-release? It’s a bundle, plain and simple." ...I answered your question and because you didn't like the straight forward answer you choose to go after me???
Sounds like panties ARE in a twist but they aint mine.
@darthv72
I’m referring to how people are considering a Remaster a re-release of a game or a Remake. Most comments are “how many times are they going to re-release this game?” It’s not a re-release in the vain of a game that’s been developed into another remaster.
This is a bundle of both games that we’re currently available separately. It’s Remake of Part 1 and the Remaster of Part 2, in a bundle. This isn’t some newly developed version of the games. If you have these games it’s not a product directed to you. This is a convenient bundle of 2 games for new comers or collectors.
Is that easier for you to understand? I can break it down further if that’s still difficult for you to get.
Yeah, I noticed recently you can buy a bundle of all or most of the Yakuza games. Quick, let me throw my toys out of the pram.
Exactly! Like it’s absolutely nuts with the reactions to this. If you have them just move on and enjoy your life. If you’re new to the series and the show got you interested, well here ya’ go, a bundle with both in a nice collector’s set.
Like holy sh*t, movies even do this… do people go ape sh*t over those? Like I see so many Lord of the Rings bundles and re-releases for the movies and never once did I have a reaction to set the world on fire over it.
yakuza games aren't remastered every gen
stop comparing things that aren't the same please
@jambola
So, I’m just gonna leave this here for you…
Yakuza 1 and 2 -PS2
Yakuza 1 + 2 HD - PS3
Yakuza 3, 4, 5 - PS3
Yakuza 1 Kiwami, 2 Kiwami, 3, 4, and 5 Remastered -PS4 (So far 1 and 2, have been remastered for the gen after and remade for the following gen)
There was a physical release for 3,4, 5 Remasters on PS4 and Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 2 Kiwami on PS4.
There is another new physical release for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Remasters on PS4 and Xbox during this current-gen… granted it’s Limited Run Games, but still, for arguments sake, there ya’ go.
Yakuza 0 - PS4
Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut - Switch 2
So, uh, stop trying so hard to correct people when they’re right, please.
you made it sound like you didn't understand the difference
I explained the difference
Except you didn’t explain the difference. Your answer was and I quote, “ assassins creed games weren't re-released multiple times at that point, same with far cry,”
There was a remaster of the Last of Us on PS4, a Remake of The Last of Us on PS5, and a remaster of The Last of Part 2 on PS5… there are several remasters of some Assassin’s Creed games on PS4 like off the top of my head 3, Rogue, and the Ezio Collection… so literally just as much Remasters of the Last of Us games, sans a Remake.
So, I don’t think your “explanation” is some grand revelation to whatever “lack of understanding” you think I needed an explanation on what the “difference” is.
This isn’t a new remaster. It’s a bundle of the current separate released games in a single package… ffs. Understand?
never said it was a new remaster, please don't lie and imply that I did
also your comment basically says "except you didn't explain the difference, you just explained the difference"
assassins creed has 1 collection if you're saying the ezio collection
that is not the same as last of use having as many as they do
sorry I didn't explain it so simply, I thought it was obvious enough that 1 remaster is different than having 2 games remastered for 12 years
Last of Us has one collection… this one 🤦♂️
The Last of Us literally has 1 Remaster -PS4
One Remake - PS5
Last of Us Part 2 has one Remaster -PS5
You might want to do research before you try to “explain” things, but there’s several Ass Creed collections/bundles: The Ezio Trilogy PS3, The Ezio Collection PS4, Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles, then you have other digital bundles like Heritage Collection, Anthology Bundle, Legendary Collection, and yadda yadda yadda.
Try again.
I'm confused, is it just a bundle or does this include something the separate PS5 versions don't have? Cause right now the PS5 Part 2 is 10€ on PS store and part 1 has some decent deals from time to time too. I've just been waiting for a moment when I'd have time to play them before buying.
110 is a step price for games that are .. essentially 4 years + old, and were released multiple times ha.
It’s not “complete” when a part 3 is clearly planned for the distant future.
Kinda sad. Love the franchise and love ND. But isnt it becoming a kinda joke now how much you can milk it?
Uncharted 4 - 2014
The Last Of Us 2 - 2015
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.
I want Alien abductions!!
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.
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.
