Will Uncharted: Golden Abyss make its way to the PS4? "Anything is possible" says Naughty Dog

When PS Vita and PSP ports are slowly coming to the PS4, it might be possible for Uncharted: Golden Abyss to make its way to the platform too.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Nice naughty gods at it again

[thatguyhayat]

Wrong studio dude. Its the ones who are making days gone

[naruga]

these games (Uncharted golden abyss and Killzone Mercenary ) imo were the cause of demise of PSVita....the console (Sony basically) relied on western made game which were overhyped and selled well on PS3 (because the lack of exclusives that time but generally had medicore appeal (and imo always mediocre quality also) ..these games failed and Sony instead of keeping the support to the console with AAA japanese devs and let the console literally bloom, ditched the support whole together , most lame descision by Sony ever .....as much i loved the legendary PSP so much i hated Sony for Vita

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Oh thanks man didn't read that

[_-EDMIX-_]

lol I'd say neither.

Its likely Blue Point games would do the port job considering that is what they actually do. They did the collection, so I'd see Sony giving them the contract for a PS4 version of Abyss

@naruga

Both UC:GA and KZ:M were very good games. They didn't really get the credit they deserved. They were a victim of the "Vita has no games" and no matter what they did to support it, people, and often the media, wouldn't give them credit for delivering games.

I can see why Sony would "rely" on them, because PSP really took off when MGS and GT released on it. Sony promoted a console experience on the go, and those kinds of games gave a console experience. While KZ:M wasn't a full experience, a lot of the other games on the vita in the first couple years certainly were.

The failure of the software came from Sony's inability to sell the hardware and get more western support. It was never lacking eastern support, but that eastern support ended up being a way to criticize the Vita as some pervy Japanese system.

I loved the Vita, but I felt that Sony didn't go far enough or wasn't persistent enough to make something happen. I feel Sony was more concerned with preventing piracy, that they made the system less appealing as a whole by making things which just don't attract the customer. Over priced memory cards, Content Manager, inability to use the same memory card for multiple regions, etc were all things which turned people away, or at least gave the impression that the system wasn't worth owning.

@naruga

Killzone Mercenary was fricking awesome, so good that it was better than the PS4 Killzone game from the parent company. 6 awesome and well developed maps plus Blood Gracht and Tharsis Depot, and the story mode was great as well. A shame that CoD Blops Declassified murdered interest in the Vita before KZ:M released otherwise we could still be seeing Guerilla Cambridge today.

[TitanUp]

I don't see anything great about Naughty Dog saying "possible". They are a great company and I try to play everything they release but your statement doesn't match the article.

[RememberThe357]

I don't see it either. They say the same thing about Jak, and I dont think we'll get that any time soon, or ever.

[Deep-throat]

Naughty Dog isn't even in the top 10.

[TitanUp]

Serious? I completely disagree I think Naughty Dog is number one. My opinion of course.

[BrettAwesome]

@Deep-throat
Well...then who is? Please name your personal top 10 devs

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Why are you here everyone knows you're a Sony troll so seriously why come to Sony articles. Nd are def top 10 hell top 3 in gaming and there's plenty out there to prove that so yeah nice try. Listen go see a therapist or talk to mommy and daddy and ask them for help do something instead of wasting time trolling for a company who doesn't know you or care about you it's truly sad and you need help

[_-EDMIX-_]

Come on bruh, you know MS doesn't have 10 teams...

[RommyReigns]

Deep-throat, guess what... you now hold the rolling 'Most Deluded Comment on N4G - June 2017' award! Naughty Dog are easily one of the finest developers around - not opinion but legitimately considered throughout the gaming industry.

[Rimeskeem]

They are too good. They are like top 0

[Knushwood Butt]

That's all he wrote.

[snoopgg]

Oh go play some Scalebound. Haha

[rainslacker]

Top ten what?

Not in the Top Ten Xbox developers?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

[-Foxtrot]

I think a good Uncharted Collection next gen would be good...the Ultimate collection including Lost Legacy and Golden Abyss.

Maybe get Drakes Fortune - Drakes Deception to run on the U4 engine and have a similar style to it, like the layout etc.

[Ceaser9857361]

i want it on PS4.. didnt play this game.. since i didnt owe the vita

[PhoenixUp]

Can Daxter come to PS4 as well

[nucky64]

love to see J&D but ND keeps saying "not at this time".

[RosweeSon]

Ordering the new uncharted lost legacy Is it it says I'll get a free download for Jack and daxter precursor legacy. I guess that's PS4 version but prob wrong gsme you guys are are after I'm not too clued up on jak and daxter remember them on ps2 tho

[PhoenixUp]

Naughty Dog didn't make Daxter

[ocelot07]

Yes they did but didn't do the PSP games I think Ready At Dawn did the ones.

[PhoenixUp]

That PSP game is the one that I'm talking about. Naughty Dog didn't make Daxter, Ready at Dawn did like you said.

[Summons75]

Probably the worst one in the series, though still a fun game, but I can imagine with a little work they can fix a lot of the issues and make it enjoyable.

[AspiringProGenji]

I like it better than the first and the 3rd due to all the exploration and collect-a-ton treasure and puzzling things together. I really wanted ND to carry some of that stuff over U4. Bend Studios seem to have a much better idea of what Uncharted exploration can be than ND themselves

[luckytrouble]

I would say in some ways it is stronger than Uncharted 3 and held a lot of potential as a handheld offering. Getting Bluepoint on porting it would likely have great results and really polish up some of the original rougher edges.

[OB1Biker]

It was very enjoyable...on the Vita. Main fault was with too much swiping IMO. I'm not sure it d be as enjoyable on PS4 though. It's uncharted alright though so it's nice for people to play all of them.

[rainslacker]

Yeah, the little mini games to show off the Vita features were mostly lame. I can see some things remaining....like brushing off stuff using the touch pad, everything else can go and not be missed.

[Deep-throat]

The worst one is Uncharted 4: Walker's End

[bluefox755]

That would be awesome, I never got to play this.

[Kurisu]

You're not missing much, really. It was a good game, especially for a handheld, but it lacked the "wow" factor of the Naughty Dog games.

[Abnor_Mal]

In your own words it sounds like he would be missing a "good game". The "wow" factor of the Naughty Dog games was probably missing be cause it was a Sony Bend game, but I'm just guessing.

I also would like to play this game as I never got a chance, because I don't own a Vita, but have the game as a "free" PS Plus offering some years ago.

[yeahright2]

It was a really good game. I'd say about on par with uncharted 3, better than 1 but admittedly, 2 and 4 stand head and shoulders above all of those.

[MrSec84]

As was written by awdevoftw it's not a Naughty Dog game, Bend made it, they should be asked, not ND.

[AnubisG]

It would be great if it would come to the PS4 with updated graphics. It was the weakest Uncharted game but it's still worth a play and many people who did not play this on the Vita could play it on PS4.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

I think it was better then Uc 1 which is the weakest one imo

[ninja2ri]

NO!

[monkey602]

Yeah there's nobody really missing anything not having this. The game isn't great. It's just horribly uninteresting.

[yeahright2]

most disagree.

[Dirtnapstor]

Yes please!

[Hallgeir]

I would love to see Bluepoint Games giver the same remake overhault like they do with Shadow of the Colossus. Take the graphics up to console quality and adjust the mecanics and make what worked on PsVita's touch functions work with a controller. I enjoyed it, even though it was far from the overall quality Naughty Dog delivers. It still had some elements of what makes a good Uncharted game. Give it a 40 dollar price tag and let Bluepoint Games do the work and we could have a another great game on the PS4.

[deafdani]

I hope it does. It's the only Uncharted game I haven't played.

[Imalwaysright]

Old games aren't needed on the PS4.

[Kiwi66]

Then why are they done then, as why port them if they aren't needed ?

[Razzer]

True. Thankfully old games are not needed as a crutch for lack of new games.....on PS4.

[Imalwaysright]

Yeah, no gamer in their right mind wants more games to play.

[Razzer]

"more games"

Uh....I can jump on steam and download 100 games for $100 that will run just fine on any old piece of junk PC. Number of games has never been a problem. But there is a reason I bought a PS4. It wasn't for old games. But hey.....that's me.

[Imalwaysright]

That's right, you can but you shouldn't be able to do so.

[Razzer]

60 million+ bought PS4s knowing full well what games were and we're not available. Someone will have to explain at some point why previous gen games are so important.....other than snarky bullet points on silly forums and such.

[Imalwaysright]

Exactly! Old games don't give value to platforms or make them better. No one cares about TloU, GOW3, Crash or GTA5 even thought there are/will be remasters/remakes of them. They're irrelevant today and crap games by today's standards despite today's games being nothing more than last gen games with improved graphics aside from Shadow of Mordor that truly introduced something we had not seen before.

Those remasters and remakes are a complete waste of time and resources by the companies responsible for them because NO ONE will buy them. It's like those companies don't do any market research whatsoever!! All they need to do is come here and realise that old games aren't needed because today's games are factually 100% better in every single way and the only games worthy of being played today!

[Razzer]

Blah...you are just talking out of your ass now

[The_Hooligan]

Hope it comes to ps4 since thats the only uncharted game i have not played.

[feraldrgn]

It's on the Vita, play it there if you want to play it & support Sony.
Unless you're one of these people who have been saying Vita has no games, yet want to actually play games that are on the Vita (lol).

[Inzo]

Never played Golden Abyss, Id rather pick this up than Lost Legacy. I dont know if its because Nate wont be in it or if its that Nadine is or a bit of both but I am really not interested in picking this up, it just doesn't get me excited.

[stevansavic89]

epic game for vita alongside kz and tearaway

[chobit_A5HL3Y]

i'd actually much rather have a crash team racing remaster than anything at this point lol

[REDGUM]

This was the main reason for not purchasing the Uncharted collection in the 1st place. It was the only game out of them all that I hadden't played. I hope the do come to the party with this and maybe with a super collection of all 5 games would be really cool.

[yeahright2]

Yeah, I feel the best time for this would have been the collection.

[trooper_]

I never played it so I'm down for it.

[ziggurcat]

It's a pretty decent Uncharted game, and I would not mind one but if they made it available on PS4.

[gutteranthems]

Will Uncharted ever go away and make room for something new?

[yeahright2]

On the naughty dog side, do you mean like the last of us? Or were you talking about sony Bend? in which case do you mean like days gone?

[Profchaos]

The game itself was not that great compared to full titles still as a portable it was amazing just not compared to any other uncharted it should have been the collections dlc

[NotAfanBoyy]

Love to play this again on console, especially HD Remaster. Tried whitelisted PSTV but looked washed out.

[GhostlyJunior]

Please make this happen. Love Uncharted, but never got around to finishing this one. I'm just not a portable player. I wanna know what happens!

[Segata]

That game was awful. It's made made as a gimmick just to sell the touch screen. Same thing that plagues many early DS games.

[COZMIC]

Never played this one, but if it was out on ps4 I would get it. Love me some uncharted, also if it didn't look like a ps vita game and it got a proper remaster treatment that would be a plus.

[ocelot07]

I hope so give it to Blue point games. They have so far done amazing workj. Did amazing job with the Uncharted collection as well as Gravity Rush for the PS4. MGS HD Collection for the PS3 and 360 as well as Titanfall for the 360 I believe.

[SirCharles]

You aren't missing much.

[yeahright2]

First thing I thought was "what about all the touch controls?" then I remembered we have that touchpad on the DS4 that we never use except as a map button. Then after that thought I started hoping if this comes about they nix all the touch controls.

[The7Reaper]

Hope so, it's the only Uncharted I haven't played.

[BioShockGX]

I hope not, game was awful.

[GamingGod72]

Great, but they're gonna have to remake alot of assets, Golden Abyss in 2017 on a 4kTV is gonna look hideous.
