Guess that Mrs. freeze didn’t work out for ya, huh?

P_Bomb286d ago

I see they’ve brought back one of the Justice League members too.

Cacabunga285d ago

Imagine they made a new Batman non gaas..
10-15 millions sold by now and a strong community..

They instead decided to hurt their brand and break the very strong bond they had with their fans..

badz149285d ago

@Cacabunga

15mil? There has been no Batman game that has reached that figure. I think only Arkham City exceeded 10mil

Cacabunga285d ago

Badz

The hunger for solid SP games is unprecedented these days due to lack in quality and quantity..

solideagle285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

it did its job, froze the revenue, profits and sales :p /s

Hofstaderman285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

Beat me to it. It put their plans on ice.

Phoenix76284d ago

Guys...... that's just cold, ya know 😏

Rikimaru-00286d ago

lol, another company will follow right behind these guys. the game never did look in the first place

Knightofelemia286d ago

Should have gone down a different route then making a loot and shoot

Relientk77285d ago

Sounds like people want great single player games like Hogwarts Legacy and not GaaS garbage like Suicide Squad.

Take notes Warner Bros. I know that's really hard for you.

JEECE285d ago

Lol they learned the opposite lesson. They think they aren't focused enough on live service. From their point of view, Hogwarts Legacy would have sold just as well as a live service game, and then Suicide Squad's flop wouldn't have killed their revenue so much this year because they still would have had ongoing revenue from the live service Hogwarts game.

That's one of the limitations of voting with your wallet-execs who are clueless as to how gamers actually think, or who at best understand them on about a ten-year delay, will always learn the wrong lesson from those votes.

mike32UK284d ago

In that particular instance they are probably right, but the one and only reason being it's harry potter. You definitely can't apply that logic to every single game

S2Killinit285d ago

Warner Bros is simply a shitty developer.

raWfodog285d ago

WB is the game’s publisher. Rocksteady is the developer.

S2Killinit285d ago

I know but WB is just a crap dev/publisher in my opinion.

SonyStyled285d ago

WB is a publisher, not a developer. Are you confused between a publisher and a developer? Publishers print what the developer creates. A developer doesn’t publish the game, with the exception of occasional indy games where the developer self publishes due to not finding a publisher. One develops, the other prints and distributes

Green-Smurf285d ago

you obviously dont know the difference because if you did then you would know that they publish Mortal Kombat which is making gobs of money

S2Killinit285d ago

I know I know you are very smart and I’m dumb.

JEECE285d ago

I hope you are reading all the "hur dur hur WB is a publisher not a dev, yer so stoopid" responses as if they are in the SpongeBob chicken meme.

S2Killinit285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

Lol 😂 yeah

Im not sure why everyone who comes across it wants to make sure to let me know that they know the difference and I don't apparently. 😆

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.

RaidenBlack15h 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.

VenomUK15h ago

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

RaidenBlack13h ago

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

arkard12h ago

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

crazyCoconuts7h 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

Flewid6383h ago

Sounds horrible. The downvotes are right on this one.

badz1493h ago

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

OtterX15h 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.

darthv7214h ago

...Way of the Warrior 2: Electric Boogaloo

Amplitude14h ago

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

Lightning771d 2h ago

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

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

pwnmaster300022h ago(Edited 22h 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“

Lightning7711h ago

OK I gotcha. That makes sense.

jznrpg8h 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.

badz1493h ago

so a 2028 release at the soonest

Lightning772h ago(Edited 2h 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.

pwnmaster300022h ago

This dude is busy.
So who is running intergalactic?

Knushwood Butt20h 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.'

pwnmaster30006h ago(Edited 6h ago)

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

vTuro2414h ago

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

itBourne4h ago

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

Flewid6383h ago

Sunlight is good for you, I promise. lol

Flewid6383h ago

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

mkis0072h 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.

DarXyde2h 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?

A switch 2 update might be a nice way to celebrate it for people who brought the switch 1 version

This is exactly what I was thinking too.

gigoran83h ago(Edited 3h ago)

It will be for a price. unfortunately not like the PS5 where a majority of them were free.

anast17h ago

Cool, can we get a controller sensitivity option for the PS5? Geralt going full sprint when I barely touch the controller is keeping me from playing this game a 3rd time.
