Naughty Dog doesn't like Monetization?

Naughty Dog: “In general terms we don’t like monetization w/ our content, but haven’t created official policy yet.”

DeletedAcc4201d ago

Just give us some new UNCHARTED news ........

Amazingmrbrock4201d ago

Really? let them make new games. They've already shown they can do better than uncharted with TLOU. They should move on and keep putting out excellent content. Instead of milking a franchise thats arguably peaked.

king_george4201d ago

Knowing Naughty Dog i wouldnt doubt uncharted by saying it "peaked". These guys have a way of surprising us and Uncharted 4 will most likely do it again.

But yeah ur right i wanna see them spread their wings and take on all kinds of different ideas beyond just one genre

ShinMaster4201d ago

They already announced a new Uncharted game. So it's obvious that the fans will want some news about it.

Conzul4201d ago

uncharted 3 was great, but the ending was just a little lacking as a true finisher to the franchise, or even a long break.

I totally agree with those who are burned out on it and are lusting for new IP, but they need to end the story arc just right.

Otherwise it'll be like the X-Files by Chris Carter. We all know how THAT ended on an unresolved cliffhanger :(

Amazingmrbrock4201d ago

I said it peaked because uncharted 3 was not as good as uncharted 2. 3s story was all over the place and had unnecessary parts thrown in just to extend it. The whole game was kind of by the numbers.

Jubez1874200d ago

Uncharted is at the point where if U4 plays like the first three people will "same old same old, getting stale" and if it's much different people will say "franchise is killed, they changed too much"

Amazingmrbrock4200d ago

@Jubez187 I think if they kept the same gameplay and did a story with a different type of theme. Say leave the indiana jones theme behind and switch to something else, horror, or have it in some war torn country or something. Both would fit into the universe. Say with the horror they could put it in like a deep cave system where drake is searching for some relic or tomb or something... but theres some sort of paranormal monster of some sort. No bad group of people with guns, just these crazy cave creatures. Or the war torn thing have him trying to avoid getting caught up in the war while navigating a country to find various relics.

medman4200d ago

They can make both, as they have more than one team.

Stevino3214201d ago

It hasn't really peaked, its a game/story that still has soooooo much potential. They can go anywhere with Uncharted.

king_george4201d ago

Ur totally right Stevino321

:)

Snookies124201d ago (Edited 4201d ago )

Boo, come on Naughty Dog, I love you guys but that's crud. The person playing your game buys it. So you get a sale. Then they put up YOUR game to show off, while making some money off their own personality they bring to the table with it. So you get more people checking out your game that are potential buyers. It's a win-win for everyone involved. More sales for Naughty Dog, money to live off of for the YouTuber, and entertainment for the people watching.

staticdash224201d ago (Edited 4201d ago )

So we've still got activision, microsoft, nintendo, sony, bethesda, and a few others who haven't showed where they stand. This is going to get very interesting....None of the big three are getting involved and its making me nervous

Wierd to see companies that clam to be entirely consumer focused, and yet publishers like capcom who have been accused of being so anti consumer, have come QUICKLY out in support of youtubers. Something is up, and I don't like it. I fear that the big three are somewhat for the crackdown on monetization of their content.

xHeavYx4201d ago

According to Angry Joe, he got a Skyrim video flagged and it was reported by Kotaku, Bethesda contacted AJ saying they weren't the only who flagged the video (check at the 5:30 mark)

RetardedIceCream4201d ago (Edited 4201d ago )

It also seems nintendo is helping some youtube channels aswell, i expect the other publishers to do the same

Conzul4201d ago

Well, it's not like ND was perfect, was it?

Meh, it was.
Shame.

GameVerb4201d ago

I just don't get it. If a YouTuber is doing a good job of playing their game and showing it, it would be free advertising. It's very counterproductive to discourage the use of YouTube. It's freaking crazy!

Volkama4200d ago

Not all Youtubers are out to spread the good word about their favourite games though...

cell9894200d ago

I feel like in order to really make it a "win win" situation, the person using their content to turn a profit needs to give a percentage back to ND on what they make. Because the sad truth is this person is making a living off of someone else content, sure the exposure helps the creator but not always does it help, sometimes it hurts the product by rampant spoilers. The point is if youre going to make money from someone elses IP just pay some royalties, even Angry Joe agrees with this

MONKEYDLUFFY4201d ago

Well I'm not a huge ND fan but it makes sense for them I think. They make largely cinematic games so like 80% of the experience isn't playing the game but the story and cutscenes. It makes makes more sense for them to do this than nintendo. Still in the end it's free advertising and I hate seeing awesome youtuber affected.

Brix904201d ago

80% cinematic experience? ok lol

staticdash224201d ago

Well your comment perfectly matches your intelligence, it seems.

TheEnigma3134201d ago

Sooooo I assume you haven't thoroughly played Uncharted or TLOU?

ELCUCO4201d ago

I'm going to play devils advocate and say what you meant was heavily narrated stories.

MidnytRain4201d ago

ND has a good rep. They don't wanna ruin that.

Wow, a couple poorly chosen words and people flip out, lmao.

Drekken4201d ago

Are you kidding me? Once you are done playing ND's single player experience they offer hundreds of hours in multiplayer. Please get a clue.

FunkMacNasty4201d ago

MonkeyDluffy - Again, as is usually the case on N4G, people who havent even played a game are spouting off like they know all about it.

The Uncharted series has some of the best combat and platforming gameplay this generation! And If you had played Uncharted or The Last of Us, you would realize that "80%" of the story narrative occur DURING gameplay sequences!

XboxFun4201d ago

This just goes to show that every company (no matter how high their fans put them on a pedestal) is all about money.

GiggMan4201d ago

How are they all about money from this statement? Seems to me that they don't want others to benefit off of their work.

cell9894200d ago

youre going to tell me that the Youtubers that do Lets Play videos do it for the fun of it or just for hobby purposes? NO, the do it for money too, you have to look at the coin from both sides. This is the reason they are up in arms right now, because their income has been cut off with YouTubes ID movement. Its all about the money all around

svoulis4201d ago (Edited 4201d ago )

So maybe this is what should've been posted

Hope it helps you understand its not just Naughty Dog but a whole bunch of studios with "at your own risk" procedures

http://alloyseven.com/serie...

Literally read the whole list. I guess youtube LP's are going to be very scarce for content.

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

Flewid63825d ago

Sounds horrible. The downvotes are right on this one.

badz14925d 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

Lightning7726d ago

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

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

pwnmaster300026d ago (Edited 26d 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.

badz14925d ago

so a 2028 release at the soonest

Lightning7725d ago (Edited 25d 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.

pwnmaster300026d 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.

itBourne25d ago

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

Flewid63825d 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.

Flewid63825d ago

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

mkis00725d 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.

DarXyde25d 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.

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

Samonuske27d ago

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

italiangamer27d ago (Edited 27d 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

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.
