Hobby Consolas sits down with Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells to talk about how the industry has changed in the last twenty years, whether we can expect to see a remastered collection of the first three Uncharted games, and the possibility of The Last of Us 2.
The game's huge marketing budget has worked out for it, bringing in $2 billion revenue in its first 10 months of release.
I think it's about time for government agencies to step into mobile gaming and look around, this is shit.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland. On April 28th, 2024, the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw will once again become a place to celebrate the art of video game music, featuring scores from The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II." - The Game Music Foundation.
Speaking on what’s coming next for Naughty Dog, which could be either their new IP or The Last Of Us Part III, Druckmann gave what he seems to feel are realities of the project he’s talking about. That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”

"I’ve really surrendered to knowing it’s going to be really hard, knowing it’s going to stress members of the team out"
As if crunch wasn't stressing them enough
That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”
Not 'is' but 'will be', kinda suggests that they haven't started yet, hope not.
Come on ND, a game PLEAAAAASSSSEEEE. Desperate this gen.
Also, just off-topic slightly but..
Does anyone think that layoffs now may well be making space for AI integration of game development, and 'crunch-time', 'unsustainable', 'big budget' are all terms been used to butter us up to receiving the news that AI integration will help and maintain the level of AAA games that were accustomed to? Perhaps the layoffs were the devs that didn't join a union quick enough and if only they had the smarts of SAG members and strike while the time is right, before its too late?! Imagine DEV's on strike at a time like this, there's already a game drought.
Don't bother, Naughty Dog are capable of so much more than reviving some E-rated platformer franchise from 15 years ago for nostalgic people, focus on new IP's and The Last of Us 2, some things are just better left in the past...
It all started at that playstation 4 commercial. And it seems that all the "easter-eggs" are there for reason. First I thought wtf Ryu as a taxi driver.... And what THAT turned out to be... Street Fighter game, PS4 console exclusive!
I think Crash is coming back alright... ;)
The thing is that a Crash game now would be also a much easier game for ND to make. With a much smaller team and less money, time, etc they could easily pull it off. And commercially it would be an INSANE success! I see nothing but positive results by such an effort. The same goes for Jak too imho.
