Uncharted 4 writer & designer react to The Order 1886 & explain The Last Of Us' impact on the studio

After showing the world it can spin mature, emotional storytelling with The Last Of Us, Naughty Dog is ready to return to the story of Nathan Drake, and mix that bombastic Hollywood adventure movie with the nuance and craft the studio has become known for…

Do you think there’s been a game this generation that has been a standard bearer for what we can expect from this new generation?” we ask Josh Scherr and Ricky Cambier – writer and lead designer of Uncharted 4, respectively.

Shame we have to wait until 2016...

Good things come to those who wait :)

spicelicka3690d ago (Edited 3690d ago )

Except for those waiting for Half life 3...

gamesTM_dom3690d ago (Edited 3690d ago )

It's from a print magazine - released to the shelves a couple of months back. We have a 'cooling off' period before we can post it online, so as not to cannibalise our own content etc

Oh cool, you've deleted the original comment.

For context: Guy above originally asked why the article states it was written 'just after The Order was released'

OB1Biker3690d ago (Edited 3690d ago )

I apologise I was interrupted while editing and wasn't sure it was relevant
Thanks for reply I appreciate

LordMaim3689d ago

The title of the article is "Can Drake Save Next Gen?"

I think this article needs to cool off a little longer.

The_Sage3690d ago

Man.... I hate to wish my life away, but 2016 can't get here soon enough.

jhoward5853690d ago (Edited 3690d ago )

Good read.

I think today's Games are becoming more like Films as gaming technology evolves.

From the article:
So how did Naughty Dog react to The Order: 1886 – did it panic the studio, did it make the developers question the games they’re making? Of course it didn’t.

Personally, I think 1886 is an awesome concept but I just wished R@D would've used some of their ideas for 1886 in a different way.Fist off, I really didn't feel afraid of the halfbreed because I think the technology & weaponry used in 1886 seems to powerful and made the halfbreed look powerless imo.

For example, the 1st Alien movie had very primitive looking technology - the computers all looked like they were from the 70's. James camaron did this on purpose because he wanted to give us the feel that the humans on the ships didn't have any advantage over the aliens. Camaron believes had he used high tech weapon in the alien movie the level of anticipation would've change the entire dynamic of his film. I think 1886 should've used the same approach(or similar) imo.

Tyre3689d ago (Edited 3689d ago )

Alien 1 was directed by Ridley Scott, Aliens (the sequel) was directed by James Cameron. You probably meant to say Aliens, because you talk about more than 1 alien in relation to the power of the weapons...or you are just confusing a lot of different elements of both movies. btw i agree with you on your valid argument about the errors in 'the Order 1886'.

I missed it when games use to have a multiplayer to them.
Hope Sony revives the game at one point

KyRo20d ago

Killzone, Resistance, Uncharted, TLOU, Motorstorm. Great times. Its a shame how far they've fallen this generation

Muigi20d ago

Oh they still do…its just the whole game now 😂.

-Foxtrot21d ago

Why add multiplayer when the single player (despite enjoying it for what it was) had flaws?

You'd work out the issues with how you craft the single player then once you’ve perfected it do multiplayer after.

RaidenBlack20d ago

"Two sequels were planned for the franchise, The Order 1891 and The Order 1899. While the third game was never in development, Weerasuriya says he had planned where the story of the franchise was planned to go, if he had been able to develop the full trilogy."
...
Alas, we'll also might never get the PC version of 1886, which is currently residing in some dev's hard drive, nearly ready for a release if required.

Charal20d ago

It’s a shame we didn’t gave its chance to this franchise.
Game world was very interesting, and gameplay could have evolved to a major hit with sequels.
Not even speaking about graphics that were way ahead of their time.

Reaper22_20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

If "we" is sony, i agree. I liked the game but it was metacritic that contributed to it's death. It's a shame.

AshleeEmerson20d ago

No, we are "us," the gamers who rated it so low on Metacritic, hurting... Killing its sales. I agree it is a shame. I loved this game.

Charal20d ago

No it is not, it is us has a community which crucified this game, which is happening much too often.

CrimsonWing6920d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I think MP being co-op would’ve been awesome. Essentially, I always viewed this as Sony’s take on the Gears series.

However, it really failed to measure up to what I expected. I definitely saw the potential but there were some things that really bogged it down for me like the forced slow walking segments (which I know was to hide loading), the repetitive warehouse werewolf fights, not enough variety in enemies, oddly we fought more humans than Darkstalkers, and the stealth sections were infuriating.

One thing there’s no denying though, this damn game was a looker. Such a shame at the wasted potential.

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.

RaidenBlack28d 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.

VenomUK28d ago

Hopefully the lead character is a boss babe who will challenge the patriarchy.

RaidenBlack28d ago

So, judging from the dislikes, hardcore Sony fans here don't like first person games, anymore?

arkard28d ago

Let naughty dog do what they are great at, 3rd person games

crazyCoconuts28d 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

Flewid63828d ago

Sounds horrible. The downvotes are right on this one.

badz14928d ago

I actually hate 1st person. very hard to associate with a character you only see their hands most of the time.

OtterX28d 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.

RaidenBlack27d ago (Edited 27d 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

darthv7228d ago

...Way of the Warrior 2: Electric Boogaloo

Amplitude28d ago

It’d be cool if they bought the Parappa licence and made Parappa 3 that’d be the real good timeline

Lightning7729d ago

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

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

pwnmaster300029d ago (Edited 29d 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“

Lightning7728d ago

OK I gotcha. That makes sense.

jznrpg28d 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.

Notellin28d ago

Yeah only a narcissist like Druckmann would announce a game this early that has a 99% chance of being cancelled.

badz14928d ago

so a 2028 release at the soonest

Lightning7728d ago (Edited 28d 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.

pwnmaster300029d ago

This dude is busy.
So who is running intergalactic?

Knushwood Butt29d 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.'

pwnmaster300028d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Okay you got me, I skimmed the article and video .
Thanks lol

vTuro2428d ago

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

itBourne28d ago

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

Flewid63828d ago

Sunlight is good for you, I promise. lol

vTuro2428d 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.

StormSnooper27d ago (Edited 27d 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.

Flewid63828d ago

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

mkis00728d 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.

DarXyde28d 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.

CrimsonWing6930d ago

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

CrimsonWing6929d 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.

InUrFoxHole30d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske30d ago

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

italiangamer30d ago (Edited 30d 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 🗿.
