that s fine go wherever you want and develop those games ...leave ND alone to find the magic again

Snookies121562d ago (Edited 1562d ago )

Are you trying to imply that Druckmann is hindering the studio? Because he was a large part of the 'magic' behind the original Last of Us, as well as the Uncharted franchise. People seem to forget that little detail a lot.

Either way, I'd rather he just worked on a new IP or something honestly. As cool as one of those games would be, with a huge production value and a talented team behind it.

Sonic-and-Crash1562d ago (Edited 1562d ago )

i m bit sceptical about both games you mention .....yes he made LoUS and U2/U4 but he was always working with Bruce and other chief members of ND (which imo were the real talents behind the success) ....only LoUS2 had him as the sole director and no matter if you like it or not , didnt surpass or matched any of the previous games

also personally i dont find any of those IP s interesting for a big AAA production game that will be killer ap

bouzebbal1560d ago

David Jaffe created one of the most iconic franchises in video games history.. See where he's at now.. He could be the most talented, but he needs the right people around him.
Druckman is another story.. Yes he directed TLOU1, but the guy is so arrogant and many hate his narcissistic personality.

Snookies121560d ago (Edited 1560d ago )

@Sonic-and-Crash "only LoUS2 had him as the sole director and no matter if you like it or not , didnt surpass or matched any of the previous games"

Wait, what? That's an opinion. You act like it's a fact. Are you talking about sales or quality? Speaking from a technical standpoint, it's leaps and bounds better than the original in every way. Can't speak for the sales on surpassing the original. As I'm not sure on that front. Also, Druckmann was a "co-writer and co-creative director" on every Uncharted game aside from 3. You think he's just given titles like that for show? Obviously he had a HUGE part in these beloved games along with having a HUGE part in the original Last of Us that everyone seemed to love. The man has proven the quality of his work through and through. Sounds like you're grasping at straws there with no real proof.

Kaze881560d ago

I think Amy Hennig did more good as a writer back on Uncharted and original TLOU than what Druckmann. TLOU2 is his only project where he was the lead in story, vision and direction.

darren_poolies1560d ago

@Kaze88 Amy Hennig didn't have anything to do with TLoU.

gamer78041560d ago (Edited 1560d ago )

Last of us one was great but his giant ego and newfound muse have become his downfall. Also ND work life balance has caused high turnover so not the same people working on the same game.

RazzerRedux1560d ago

"Last of us one was great but his giant ego and newfound muse have become his downfall. "

When did his "downfall" happen again? He was promoted to c-president of Naughty Dog. TLOU 2 is running away with GOTY awards.

Downfall? Hilarious.

"yes he made LoUS and U2/U4 but he was always working with Bruce and other chief members of ND (which imo were the real talents behind the success)"

Wait Bruce was the real talent behind the success? Please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the story of TLOU 1 the most praised part about that game? And wasn't Neil the lone writer on that game? Also last I checked Bruce has never written anything at all so how exactly is he "the real talent behind the success" of a narrative driven game whose actual gameplay left much to be desired?

I swear ya'll could at least make better arguments and use better examples if you're gonna try and discredit Neil's talent!

frostypants1560d ago

@Snookies12 "Speaking from a technical standpoint, it's leaps and bounds better than the original in every way."

The director has relatively little to do with that.

RgR1560d ago

But besides the idea of the virus....everything else wasn't him.

If he had his way with the first game I gurantee you it would not have been the great game it is.

Bruce and others were able to take his idea and make it into the greatness that it was.

Time and time again his story was rejected. ND took it and changed it entirely in order to create a great game out if it.

RememberThe3571560d ago

Snookie standing on facts and reason, it's great to see. I don't even like TLOU2 that much but y'all are just making up shit to justify your bias. It's okay to just not like something without attacking the people who made it.

gamer78041560d ago

@razzer. Downfall happened when less people started enjoying the second game than the first.

Bobertt1559d ago

Look at Wonder woman and Wonder woman 1984. In the first one Patty Jenkins was the director but she did not have total control. Warner Bros and the other talent balanced out her shortcomings but when she was given full control in 1984 she fired those who made the 1st one great and we ended up a with a shitty sequel.

"yes he made LoUS and U2/U4 but he was always working with Bruce and other chief members of ND (which imo were the real talents behind the success)"

Only because you liked the previous games more. That is the only basis you have to judge "talent" on. TLOU 2 was factually a very successful game.

"and no matter if you like it or not , didnt surpass or matched any of the previous games"

Why are you applying your personal opinion to others?

Sonic-and-Crash1562d ago (Edited 1562d ago )

where do you see to apply smthing on smbody ??? ..

.i just mention facts ...either you like it or not, LoUS2 didnt have the same impact on gamers like the previous games...

TGGJustin1562d ago

@Sonic Funny because gamers sure are voting it GOTY just as much if not more so than prior Naughty Dog games. It's closing in on being the most awarded game of all time. Your opinion doesn't represent the millions and millions who played it.

Mr_cheese1560d ago

You stating that "LoU2 didnt have the same impact on gamers" is not fact. That is your jaded opinion because the FACT is, it sold a tonne, has a very high rating, a massive following and a tonne of awards including GOTY.

Please have your opinion but don't try and speak for everybody else.

Uh.....I quoted it. Again.... "and no matter if you like it or not , didnt surpass or matched any of the previous games"

"i just mention facts"

No, you just stated your opinion and somehow you think it is factual. It certainly is not.

Sonic-and-Crash1562d ago (Edited 1562d ago )

ok....but neither is yours where probably you r implying that it had big positive impact as factual opinion ...you do the same thing

Kilua1560d ago (Edited 1560d ago )

"ok....but neither is yours where probably you r implying that it had big positive impact as factual opinion ...you do the same thing"

So then what parameters can we use to justify whether the game had a positive or negative impact overall?

Metascore?
Game awards?
Sales?
Completion rate by gamers?

TLOU 2 passes all of the above categories with flying colours. But we all know the story behind those metrics: "Game awards are rigged and biased". "Metacritic is biased, journalists are shills and cant be trusted". "O but the sales dropped off after a month and then sold like crap". "Look how many people traded the game in, it couldnt have been successful" - I've yet to see anyone giving compelling evidence of any of these claims.

"also personally i dont find any of those IP s interesting for a big AAA production game that will be killer ap"

So you're saying the last of franchise doesnt qualify as a killer app in your opinion? How? Because it isnt "Interesting"? - Not a very good explanation if you ask me

lukasmain1562d ago

The magic hasn't left. It's still there and it's stronger than ever.

lukasmain1562d ago

"LoUS2 didnt have the same impact on gamers like the previous games"

https://www.gameawards.net/...

The game BY FAR has the most FAN VOTED GOTY awards than any other title last year by a bloody long shot.

So you tell your opinion, and I'm stating a fact here.... FANS loved the game. Loved it so much that they voted it, in more than 80 occasions, they voted it GAME OF THE YEAR. That means THE GAME HAD AN IMPACT. The next highest game only had 12 fan voted goty awards.

So spare people from your jaded bullshit. ND and Niel are Masters in their craft.

My opinion is my own and I've never said otherwise. Don't try to make it about me. Your opinions are completely fine. Just stop pretending your opinions are fact. There is a difference you need to understand.

Edito1560d ago

What magic are you talking about? Name a recent magic that has nothing to do with him.

VerminSC1560d ago

Bouzebbal

Can you provide 1 single source of him acting arrogant or narcissistic. A tweet, a video anything. I’ll wait

I follow him closely and he is ALWAYS very humble. Whenever he receives an award he immediately mentions THE TEAM not himself.

I have no idea how he has received a reputation for being arrogant.

jznrpg1560d ago

It’s just projection . That’s what narcissists do best .

Personally I like Ghostrider hate the shitty Nicholas Cage movies The Punisher I love on the Sega Genesis never seen the Dolph Lundgren movie the 2004 movie was good. Punisher Warzone sucked the Netflix series I liked loved how it connected with the Dare Devil series. As for the games that's up to Mickey Mouse and Marvel Spiderman is great yet The Avengers fell flat so it's hard to say what Mickey Mouse and Marvel might do. I wouldn't mind seeing Insomniac try and take on another Marvel hero or even a DC hero.

UltraNova1560d ago

Having a studio with Insomniac's pedigree work on franchise IPs only is a crime. I want them to make a brand new IP.

GottaBjimmyb1560d ago

They are literally releasing R&C in like a couple months.

MasterChief36241560d ago

So there is this new punctuation mark that was recently announced. It's called a comma. You should look it up! You might find something to love with it.

lukasmain1562d ago (Edited 1562d ago )

ND would make such a great Punisher game. Brutal in it's realism with violence. AND... they would never dream of changing any of the characters or put a new spin on them. They would be faithful to the source material.

cell9891560d ago

They would definitely throw in their agendas

kimbomma11560d ago

Why Portability Still Matters for Nintendo Switch 2—and What We’re Hoping to See

Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.

As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.

I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.

A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.

But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading

Goodguy011d 9h ago

Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.

jznrpg1d 7h ago

I was hoping for a little more than 540p upscaled

UltimateOwnage1d 6h ago

IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.

repsahj1d ago

Lol, even the impressive upscaling feature of Switch 2 can now spin to a negative one.

jznrpg4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Switch 1 was hitting 720p and above that with no upscale, so why can’t they have a higher res and upscale it more

repsahj3h ago

@jznrpg
Because of that even the current gen games will now run on switch 2 that looked as good and with decent framerate as the current gen consoles.

Do you watch Nintendo's hands on preview for switch 2? LOL.

badz14917h ago

because aside from Nintendo's own games which have their dedicated fanbase, portability is the only other thing it has going for it. Nintendo will be eliminated faster than xbox if they ever decide to do a dedicated home console again. going the hybrid way is the only way left for them and they are lucky they dominated the portable market all those years ago. imagine the power of the Switch 2 as a console this day and age with the same price as PS5. they will be the laughing stock of the market.

I do appreciate the changes to the levelling system in the remaster which lessens the hassle of min/max with regards to effects class skills have on attributes(missed these in Skyrim).

The level scaling is still a problem though as you end up with crappy uniques if you find them low level. They did fix this with regards to items from one of the DLCs but it should be across the board.
