VGX 2013: Naughty Dog Wins Studio of the Year

Throughout the year, hundreds of games are released, and players across the world play these said games. They know the name of the game, but they don’t always know who created the game.

Up for the award this year were Irrational Games (Bioshock Infinite), Naughty Dog (The Last of Us), Rockstar North(Grand Theft Auto V) and The Fullbright Company(Gone Home). After the tallies were marked on the chalk board, it was Naughty Dog taking home the award.

pyramidshead4207d ago

Best studio but not best game. Does not compute lol.

But yes well deserved.

ABizzel14207d ago

@pyramidshead

I swear I was thinking the same thing.

How on Earth did Assassin's Creed 4 win over GTA and The Last of US, yeat GTA wins GOTY and The Last of Us wins best studio (which means they put out what they thought was the best game in some form)

curtis924207d ago

@ABizzel1, unfortunately they have to spread it around... can't have one game taking all the awards. Because in reality, ONE GAME should've won for all 3 of those awards. Can't really justify winning one but not another.

ColinZeal4207d ago

That is F*CKING HILARIOUS!!! =D

Riderz13374207d ago

Joel doing the Banderas gif at the end...Amazing.

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

crazyCoconuts25d 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

darthv7225d ago

...Way of the Warrior 2: Electric Boogaloo

Amplitude25d ago

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.

jznrpg25d 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.'

pwnmaster300025d ago (Edited 25d 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?

Interesting. So they are working on more than we knew.

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.

CrimsonWing6927d ago

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

CrimsonWing6926d 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.

InUrFoxHole27d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske26d ago

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

italiangamer26d ago (Edited 26d 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.

Opinion piece?
Can the mods add a new category for, 'Trash'?

Cellblock1145d ago

What makes this "Trash", exactly?

StormSnooper45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

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

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

raWfodog45d 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.
