Man i can't wait to see it in action!

starchild4226d ago

Me either. Naughty Dog is the biggest reason I will own a PS4.

thorstein4226d ago

Naughty Dog is going to push the graphical boundaries?

That is awesome!! We win!

buddymagoo4226d ago

It's not just the graphics with Naughty Dog it's the set pieces.

They are the best in the industry at set pieces and plenty of times during a game I have to pick my jaw up off the floor.

That's what I look forward to most with Naughty Dog, how they are going to wow me. Can't wait!!

bornsinner4225d ago

and its the only reason, it seriously has no good games

Gazondaily4226d ago

I'm trying to imagine Uncharted looking even better and I can't!

Man, can't wait to see in game footage.

showtimefolks4226d ago

maybe i will be surprised but i don't think UC will be coming out in 2014. I see a Q1-2 2015

also it was never called uncharted 4, just uncharted. SO it could be something new in the same universe

sony hasn't been using many numbers for games for ps4, KZ:SA instead of KZ4. Infamous 2nd son, to infamous 3

either way its ND so the expections are pretty high and i know ND will surpass them.

BTW, maybe it was just me but i thought yesterday's spike TV PS4 launch was pretty boring. Now much was revealed. Also i thought it was the perfect place to announce The Last of Us for PS4

boneso824226d ago

It will be released in 2014. They have been developing it since Uncharted 3.

ipach4226d ago

Yeah. Felt like the last exhausted mile of a marathon. Excited. But too gassed to really revel in the #greatness...

But now that my ps4 is up and running with several games to play (so many free/cross buy owned already too!), I can forgive Spike/Sony. Would have been much worse the other way around with a great show and no system...

medman4226d ago

It's hard for me to fathom why Naughty Dog would reveal Uncharted if it weren't slated for a late 2014 release. Sony wasn't under any pressure to get them to reveal it early, people knew ND was working on something for PS4 and many suspected the next Uncharted. I don't believe ND would speak about the game if it were tentatively scheduled for release in spring or fall 2015. That's one and a half to two years from now!! Why bother when everybody knew you were working on something already?

TruthBTold4226d ago

Well, it was a launch party not E3 or VGA type of party. They have to save games for the VGAs. Announcing uncharted just builds good hype until the next event. I do think its a good idea to use different names so they can give more longevity to each universe as opposed to having Halo 8 or Uncharted 5. I am loving killzone more than the previous versions. I wonder why all the bad reviews. Anyways to all PS4 owners enjoy the new console and XBox One future owners, not too long now to enjoy your console launch. A lot of happy gamers this Christmas.

im willing to bet this game will rival high end pc graphics and beat most of them, if not all.

xxxsiegezzz4226d ago

No it won't beat any high end pc graphics.

Gamer19824226d ago

Beat high end PC graphics?? It couldnt beat them now.. It certainly won't beat them in 2014 when even more PC technology is released.. The new nvidia 780ti has just been released and single-handedly can blow anything the ps4 and xbone can do out the water with relative ease. Sure its more expensive but the savings in games and the lack of online subs makes it a worthwhile purchase..

PersonMan4226d ago

What people tend to forget it, the graphics on PC can only be as good as the developers who made them.

I still think Uncharted 3's graphics rival most PC games in terms of set pieces, animation, and lighting. It may not be 1080p, but it looks a lot better than most PC games that I've seen.

Ausbo4226d ago

The only game i dont think will be touched is witcher 3 on pc. That will look ridiculous.

Doink4225d ago

No way, sorry fanboys

Rodent854225d ago

way to go, of course it can,,,look what they done with TLOU on "low" ps3 gpu

This is Naughty Dog. They never have trouble showing AND telling!

CGI-Quality4226d ago

How j-blaze hasn't been banned yet for the amount crap he spouts is beyond me.

boneso824226d ago

Jblaze, there must be something lacking in your perception sensors.

I suppose Sony Santa Monica games are boring and generic, Media Molecule can't do anything original, and Polyphony know nothing about cars!

Now, if they all made sci fi shooters for Xbox they would be the best studios ever right? I bet you even think 343 are better than Bungie...

alexkoepp4226d ago

343 did manage to make the best halo since the original on their first try lol, time will tell if they are better than bungie

FriedGoat4226d ago

Hey Alex, Which halo was that? I own all of them and I'm not sure what you are talking about.

DigitalRaptor4226d ago (Edited 4226d ago )

@ j-blaze

Your comments are always full of false nothings.

Gamers around the world were blown away by Naughty Dog's storytelling in The Last of Us, and the best thing you could do was grasp onto straws and make crap up to support your own self-inflicted biases.

If the industry and gamers thought Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter, Uncharted and The Last of Us were average games, we'd have heard much, MUCH more about it.

plaZeHD4226d ago

Freedom of speech
But yeah j-blaze is one fuckin' annoying ass.

SoulSercher6204225d ago

Ignore j-blaze. He thinks Suda 51 is a legend in the industry. That shows his credibility right there.

@alexkoepp

Halo 4 the best Halo? Sorry that title belongs to Halo 2. There is nothing revolutionary about Halo 4.

what makes you think im calling bs? I want to see it, I dont want them to tell me it looks awesome. I also dont know why you are linking some other game?

MidnytRain4226d ago

Anyone who thought their games would look that was delusional.

Conzul4226d ago

@Kevinb
Naughty Dog is unique among developers in that they have earned the position to have everything they say believed without proof.

ltachiUchiha4226d ago

kevnb

Have they not "PROVEN" themselves yet with what they had to offer with the ps3? They have a chance to win their 2nd GOTY AWARD this year even against sum next gen games that are already out. Uncharted & The Last of Us are both PROVEN IP's. So why would anyone have ANY DOUBT. To be honest its kinda scary seeing what Naughty Dog can pull off especially when u see how amazing Killzone SF & Battlefield 4 look. I can bet money that Uncharted for ps4 will IMPRESS alot of PC Fans aswell. Thats how much confidence I have in Naughty Dog. Trust me, even u will be IMPRESSED when they finally show it running on the ps4.

HmongAmerican4226d ago

Bring it on ND. I have a feeling that Uncharted on PS4 is going to be the true next gen title. I don't know, but I am scare to even think about what ND has been cooking.

PoSTedUP4226d ago (Edited 4226d ago )

me too. i put ND up there right next to Konami. and it dont get much higher than that on my scale.

PoSTedUP4226d ago (Edited 4226d ago )

kojima? Meal Gear Solid? its like one of the biggest franchises of gaming and the guy is a mastermind. you should play them sometime.

oldassgamer4226d ago

Agreed. Kojima always pushes the visuals.

WeAreLegion4226d ago

That's just Kojima Productions though. You said Konami, as a whole.

4226d ago
DigitalRaptor4226d ago (Edited 4226d ago )

HAHA. ooooh look at j-blaze. He mad!

News for you, son. Naughty Dog have already reached the level of KP. And Kojima himself has looked to ND games as influence and aspiration in his own games.

Look outside your own unfounded bias, and get some perspective.

PoSTedUP4226d ago

yeah my bad meant Kojima. and jblaze, ND are at the top of the hill whether you like it or not.

SoapShoes4226d ago

Man I remember in 2007 when the first Uncharted came out. Best looking game I've ever played and it was amazing to boot! Uncharted 2 really upped the ante and was a huge jump over the first in graphics. Uncharted 3 wasn't a huge jump but it did have a noticeable refinement that gave it extra compared to the second one.

MRMagoo1234226d ago (Edited 4226d ago )

yeh, but look what they did with half a frigging gig of ram lol its amzing imo, try playing a game like that on a pc with half a gig of ram. I think they just ran out of room on the ps3 to really take it up anymore notches when it got to UC3. There is only so much water you can squeeze out of a sponge.

kevnb4226d ago

half gig dedicated to the game itself, sure. But we cant run games in dos anymore, so we need a little extra. I think a ps4 uncharted will play alot like the older ones, but it will look alot better.

DigitalAnalog4226d ago

@kevnb

Which is quite concerning really. They should try to incorporate riskier design choices because KZ: S didn't exactly get the reception needed simply because it "looked better"

ginsunuva4226d ago (Edited 4226d ago )

Then look at TLOU.

UC3 had to do 3d which limited it a bit.

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

darthv7223d 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

vTuro2423d 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 🗿.

Intergalactic Being a Hit Could Spark a Chain Reaction For Naughty Dog

Naughty Dog has a lot of scope to extend the Intergalactic IP to other mediums, provided the sci-fi game turns out successful.

Did you even read it? The article is legit. Can you elaborate?

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.
