I loved Factions don't get me wrong but as a huge stand-alone game? I would have just preferred a mode similar to the one in the original but in Part II improved upon.
Just worries me one of the best multiplayer games on the PS3, along with Uncharted 2 is going to be littered with GaaS features.
Same worries here, i really dont know if i should be excited or not for factions. I hope they realize the simplicity of factions was a big part of what made it good,....i dunno, we'll just have to wait and see.
I feel like Factions is a smaller part of what this will be. It seems like a story driven multi-player with coop. One imagines classic multiplayer modes to return as well.
If anyone remembers, TLOUT1 multiplayer was rife with pay-to-win BS. That's one ot the main reasons it flamed out. It was insane and not talked about enough.
Naughty Dog has been really good about presenting their vision for their titles and launching an excellent product. The time in the oven with little shown is a testament to their commitment in my opinion.
That said, I suspect Sony as a corporation is going to try something nefarious for monetization. They've try to do this before (e.g., GT7 and Horizon: Forbidden West). On one hand, I'm not worried because PlayStation gamers are outstanding at getting Sony to do the right thing by slapping down these dumb ideas. But in the other hand, pressure may only work if there's a precedent set; it was clear they were going back on their word about Horizon— they ended up honoring it because we're a rowdy lot. But there's been no precedent for this game. Eh.. Worst case, we ignore the game and Sony makes things right. I've no questions about the quality, just how they plan to extract money from us.
Once Factions has been released later this year the next game will be teased, probably with a title card or some teaser trailer. ND tend to work pretty quickly given the depth they put into their games, so it will likely be out within 3 years, it's probably already in deep development anyway and they're getting close to making the final push on Factions before it goes into beta for gamers to start trying it.
Maybe 6 months to a year from when Faction launches they'll reveal whatever it is.
Would love that but in general just a new ip from naughty dog would make me happy, it's been a while now, so after factions hopefully we get something new from them.
There is a possibility that ND already teased their next game in the form of the cards we found all over TLOU2. They intrigued me. Im pretty sure they had something to do with their next project.
I'm anticipating Faction to be a large, connected experience, with story elements baked into some Last of Us centered MMO style title. Maybe not an open world, but hubs, which connect into large areas.
Think TLOU2's open area, many times that size and expanded over time, with persistently changing storylines going on throughout the Factions World.
Alongside Factions I hope we get an approach like The Last of Us or Uncharted, but tackling a Science Fiction, futuristic or Fantasy narrative.
ND could even go for something like a more grounded, dramatic, action story set in the real world, not post apocalyptical, but gritty and character focused.
I can't wait to see what Naughty Dog does when they move away from The Last of Us and Uncharted. Taking that approach to a story driven science fiction or fantasy setting would be great IMO.
Something wide open, with a series of paths through the story, but a detailed open world game, that takes advantage of PS5 would be fantastic from ND IMO.
Open worlds aren't inherently bad, they just have to be used to explore free exploration in the environments of those games. Designed well the possibilities of an open world game are limitless and can be just as fun as more linear options.
Whatever game it is, i'm praying for a VR mode. That said it would be nice to give ND a creative break and ask them to re-visit an old PlayStation classic ie. Syphon Filter.
VR as a perception option would be awesome IMO. I hope we also get a Jak and Daxter remade like Ratchet & Clank 1 (only taking advantage of PS5), I'm sure loads of people would want that.
I would love a Jak & Daxter game, the only issue is ND are so invested in performance capture now, that stylised games probably don't even cross their minds anymore.
Please dont do that. I liked syphon filter way back but I would rather nd do something new. Sci fi sppace or a fallout type of game since we dont have anything like that on the ps side any longer
It would be a massive surprise if Naughty Dog did a game with Pixar style visuals, but I was thinking more of another studio taking it on, not sure who would do it though. Perhaps Bluepoint Games.
I'd just love to see a quality remake done for at least the first game or a trilogy like Crash Bandicoot or the Spyro remakes.
ND will for sure do something realistic and gritty in some way from a visual perspective IMO.
Question is. How can they go more woke. They have gone down the homosexual path. Now its up to them to show us what other obscure gender or identity they can incorporate into their game.
Cry some more, like this: Waaaa gay character waaaa I dont want to see it exists waaaa.
Nobody gives a fu&k, grow up and find a more meaningful purpose in life than bitching about the others to feel part of something bigger than yourself, like political movements and dogma.
First game was great because the main protagonist is Joel, and You are Joel. Ellie was annoying kid that you had to transport and a burden, but as you play the game you start to like Ellie just like Joel... and at the end you, as well as Joel, save Ellie rather to let her die for humanity.
This was not written by Druckman. It was Amy Hanning and that other dude... Druckman directed the scenes.
Then Dlc happend under Druckman.
Now Druckman couldn't change the first game...remaster and a remake... but oh boy did he changed the show... because he is now writing the adaptation.
Now Joel is the bad guy... who ended humanity and Ellie is the main protagonist...including all the supporting cast to take time off of Joel.
It is absolute garbage.
Certain portion of gamer audience, who are fans of the first game... actually give a fuck.
I’m honestly glad they chose not to run uncharted into the ground it would have been a horror sight to see uncharted turned into some mmo styles battle royale bs
"look, we’re already into our next project. So the decision has already been made"
Pheww.. I was getting worried they had only just decided which would mean a game is 3+ years away. What if you read the article that is not the case. Could he the scifi game rumour was true afterall. :)
Info? Just show us the game already.
Sci-Fi or Fantasy please
Bruh, crazy it's taking this long for factions...
I really wish they included factions 1 with the part 1 remake...but nope.
Cant wait to see what they do with the PS5.
Dark Souls clone or live service ga, whch one is it going to be.
