Naughty Dog “surprised no one has [found] the secrets we’ve dropped around the internet”

One of Naughty Dog‘s web developers dropped the comment on a blog post about The Last Of Us. With one last multiplayer DLC on the way for TLOU you have to wonder if he’s teasing something related to Uncharted on PS4?

Naughty Dog continue to be very proactive with its fans, great team that works there.

medman4119d ago

Man, I really wonder what the clues mean because there has been no shortage of speculation regarding that Uncharted teaser. So is Naughty Dog saying all of the speculation is dead wrong? I'm intrigued.

SuperBlur4119d ago

where are these clues? i have yet to see them as i dont actively keep track of ND/UC stories

shivvy244119d ago

Ive noticed alot of jak stuff , and just recently some art work

tbone5674118d ago

I don't think this game is popular enough for people to look.

thorstein4118d ago (Edited 4118d ago )

I think, quite honestly, that the clues lead to Henry Every, Thomas Tew, or Captain Kidd.

Quite likely, Henry Every will be the protagonists forebear like how Nathan Drake's forefather was Sir Francis Drake.

Henry plucked down one of the greatest hauls as a pirate and he hailed from Ile St. Marie (off Madagascar.) He then disappears not much after Captain Kidd's death, supposedly to retire in either Ireland or the Caribbean.

I think the plot of the new Uncharted is to find where he went with all that treasure: £600,000.

Added in edit: The clues point to Every certainly and perhaps to the Pirate Round. Mayhap the story revolves around the archives of those pirates that felt betrayed by Every (whether Every betrayed them or not isn't relevant). The narration most certainly is dealing with this.

Perhaps he is seeking out Every in order to kill him. And perhaps the protagonist, years later, is looking for the final resting place in order to find the treasure.

Hahahahahahaha tbone ur a joke keep ur comments to urself

nirwanda4118d ago (Edited 4118d ago )

@thorstein I think the clues point to the game having a different lead character as the uncharted game didn't have a subtitle and also doesn't have anything to do with drake.
I think it will be a descendent from a pirate as noone still knows if libertieir (or however its spelt) existed.
Also there are alot of well known pirates that surposed to have lived there.
Henry every was known as king of the pirates.
Or the story may involve James Misson.

I'm as surprised they haven't responded to any of my love letters.

They respond to all of mine ;)

* If they are hinting to find clues it's because they want to reveal more, but we haven't found what they thought we would have by now.

The next reveal makes more sense if we figure out the clues.

just a theory though.

All I want to know right now is that Nate, Sully and Elena will still be in this.

I would hate for this to be some prequel or spin off...it's not Uncharted without Nate.

I really hope that guy in the trailer is someone who Drake screwed over years ago, it's a perfect time for Drakes past to see the light and we find out who he really is.

PS3and4_HAS_GAMES4118d ago

wow why the disagrees??? what you said was 100% true

kingduqc4119d ago

There is plenty of dev team that does much much more then sending a few hints before one of their games release as a PR stunt.

Like actually taking feedback, implemented features that the community ask and replying to the current stage of development of the game. Those "Secrets" aren't being pro active, it's just about starting the hype train.. learn the difference.

Gamer19824119d ago

When poeple know theres a hunt on they usually accept the challenge and the goal doesnt last long.. Remember that free Xbox hunt from the FIFA ad?? Didn't last long at all.. Now people know theres something to be found i'll give it a couple of days at most before the rumour mill goes into overdrive..

i read this in a sasuke voice in my head....

Hellsvacancy4119d ago (Edited 4119d ago )

A big bunch of trolls is what they are, i'm anxious to visually see what they've got lined up for us on the PS4

heisenberguk4119d ago

Me too after reading they're using the same engine they used for PS3 games

vigilante_man4119d ago

I hope the engine is not restricted by RAM as PS4 has 8GB compared to the 0.5GB of the PS3.

Most developers create awesome graphics and then shrink them down to fit the specific console. If they do indeed use the same engine but optimised for the PS4 then it may be true about an Uncharted Collection for PS4!

Uncharted 4 will be for the PS4 only, and not the PS3 so it will be interesting to see if they make larger environments or include more on-screen activities rather than just pimped graphics.

One thing is for sure - the world expects. ND are victims of their own success. The most important aspect will be a great story like in UC2 - UC3 was kind of mixed up on the story front.

imuze4119d ago

Why does that matter to you? Call of Duty has rested on its same old engine since 2005. All Naughty Dog games since have looked better then every call of duty. The last of us engine will be pure bliss on next gen.

heisenberguk4119d ago (Edited 4119d ago )

@imuze, You're really comparing Uncharted to COD and I'm anxious to see what they do because I'll be buying it day 1 like I have every other Uncharted! Why does what matters to me matter to you? Why did you feel the need to jump in to defend ND's honour like I was trolling or something? I wasn't even saying it in a critical way!!

styferion4119d ago

you must've not known what a 'game engine' is.

and yes, I know, I've created games using 'game engine'. 'game engine' is not console-restricted technologically, you can literally make 16-bit SNES-like games and full 3D games using a same 'game engine', it's a waste of tech if you make 16-bit games though.

MONKEYDLUFFY4119d ago

Naughty Dog knows how to make fun games. People overhype them like crazy but they know how to make a solid game.

Hellsvacancy4119d ago

If they make "solid" games the hype is justified

Blacklash934119d ago (Edited 4119d ago )

Yeah. Whether or not something is worth hype, or lives up to hype, is for individuals to decide for themselves and only themselves.

Jdoki4119d ago (Edited 4119d ago )

I know I'll get flamed for this. But for me, Uncharted 3 and TLoU were solid and fun - but they didn't blow my doors off the way the Jak and Daxter series, or Uncharted 2 did.

The hype for their games and fevered reverence of them as a developer is pretty ridiculous - but to each their own. If people want to deify them, they can.

I have no doubt they'll produce something awesome for Uncharted 4 - I'd just like to see something different than another cover based adventure game - no matter how profound the story is.

vigilante_man4119d ago

All 3 Uncharted games are in my top 10!

Trouble is we try to compare them against each of the UC games rather than against other games out there.

I have played each game at least 4 times fully through. Never get tired of playing them. If you have come from the 360 only world then beg or borrow a PS3 to play the past games. They really are fun.

Only a few games give you goose bumps when you just hear the music. Uncharted is one of them.

QuickdrawMcgraw4119d ago

I am a UC fan..That being said...I thought UC3 was not up to the standard of the 1st two games...I actually thought the new Tomb Raider was a a lot better...Both in visuals and game play...Hope UC4 takes back it's crown...This is just one man's opinion...

BlackTar1874119d ago

I can jump ont he agree train fro UC3. Last of us is amazing and could be the best game last gen.

I won't say it's the best cause i enjoyed Fallout 3 and NV so much i've played and beaten then more then once.

elninels4119d ago

No, solid doesnt justify the fanboyisms that people exhibit regarding anything remotely ND related. I immensely enjoyed the last of us, buts its not the pinnacle of gaming like so many say. The hype is almost always bigger than the game.

WalterWJR4119d ago

But if they made games for Nintendo they would be Gods's right?

SonyStyled4119d ago

oh no. that would be very Naughty of them

CEOSteveBallmer4119d ago

yeah right. then what games are worth the hype? titanfall?

Jdoki4119d ago

Unfortunately these days not a lot is worth the hype in my opinion - but I'm old :)

I find a lot of Indie games are more hype-worthy than AAA's.

Last game I would say that really deserved the hype was Batman Arkham City as it was the follow up to such an unexpectedly good game. Whether it totally met the hype is another story...

darx4119d ago

I see that the Naughty Dog blowing has begun...more to follow.

Mikelarry4119d ago

You seem no to like naughty dog but yet here you are commenting on a topic about them.... i mean come on

KingPin4119d ago

@mike so whats your point?
darx is allowed to express his dislike for something on the same board. last time i checked, its called freedom of speech. or is he only allowed to comment about something when he likes it or when his opinion agrees with yours?

im not agreeing with Darx either. im just saying everyone is entitled to their opinions, both good and bad, and you shouldn't be telling them whether they can express themselves or not.

its like me telling you, "oh so you dont like his comment yet you responded to it...i mean come on". see what i did there.

Mikelarry4119d ago (Edited 4119d ago )

@ kinpin

i never said he is not allowed to express himself whether good or bad but at least keep it on topic.

his comment " i see the naughty dog blowing has begun" is a childish dig at the other gamers who are excited for what the developer has in-store for them

saint_seya4119d ago

KingPin:
So darx can express his opinion about ND but mike cant express his opionion about darx comment?

And if everyone is entitled to their opinion, why are you trying to attack mike's?

LackTrue4K4118d ago

@ saint_seya

"it's very obvious, KingPin is blowing darx"

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.

RaidenBlack21d ago (Edited 21d 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

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...

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

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

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 🗿.
