Might be for studios which were using older engines or UE4 like Bend Studio.
Sony's big 5 studios' engines are all unique to some degree and I want it stay that way for future new games.
Remakes can be done using Decima if required like Bloodborne or Uncharted 1.
Imagine From Software embracing Decima for future titles.
But then again Until Dawn Remake was done using UE5, when the original was made using Decima.

VersusDMC127d ago

Maybe ease of use is what made it a better choice. And it was already tested by a another studio with kojima productions having shipped death stranding on Decima.

Eonjay127d ago

I wonder if this is for studios beyond SIE and KP. Decima has also proven itself of platforms beyond PS5 so I wonder how comfortable they would be with allowing non first party use it wherever?

Minute Man 721127d ago

They should use the Ready at Dawn engine

DarXyde127d ago

That engine is mighty impressive, even by today's standards. The cloth simulation and gun animations are absolutely chef's kiss.

But I think it's one of those very intensive engines that will choke the hell out of the hardware and you're looking at a short and linear but very detailed experience. More or less what you get from a UE5 game that really forces the hardware (e.g., Hell blade II).

For that reason, Naughty Dog's engine is probably more practical: still extremely detailed (albeit less so) but allows for a more wide-linear experience and you're still left in awe.

But if we're going open world, absolutely Decima.

porkChop127d ago

They don't own that engine, and Ready at Dawn doesn't even exist anymore.

anast127d ago

They already have embraced it along with some other engines.

They need to put that Decima engine to work for Killzone 5 or a remake of Killzone 2.

anast127d ago

This would be a cool gift to the fans.

jjb1981127d ago

I'm a huge Killzone 2 fan. It's my favorite shooter of all time and I wish they'd revive the IP. I know a remake of KZ2 would do very well. My original PSN friends I met were on KZ2 and and we formed a clan. I've been itching to get that 3 star badge. Only made it to 2-star.

Eonjay127d ago

Fun fact Decima IS the evolved version of the Killzone engine.

OlderGamer17126d ago

Noppe, its build from the ground up....

CrimsonIdol127d ago

A Killzone 2 remake where the controls are actually responsive could be cool.

mike32UK126d ago

The character has weight, it was a design choice which many people happened to like. You're probably too used to the floaty controls of COD

CrimsonIdol126d ago (Edited 126d ago )

yeah I remember that argument too. Then how that argument went away when they fixed it for the sequel. having massive input delay before anything happens due to technical issues isn't an artistic choice. It's good copium though

RaiderNation127d ago

Rather than a KZ2 remake, I'd rather see them do a KZ reboot! If they're going to do a remake, I'd rather see a PS5 remake of KZ Mercenary! Hands down one of the best Vita games and the 2nd best Killzone game in the series (after KZ2).

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.

RaidenBlack14h 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.

VenomUK14h ago

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

RaidenBlack12h ago

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

arkard11h ago

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

crazyCoconuts6h 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.

badz1492h ago

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

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.

...Way of the Warrior 2: Electric Boogaloo

Amplitude13h ago

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

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

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

pwnmaster300021h ago(Edited 21h 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.

badz1492h ago

so a 2028 release at the soonest

Lightning771h ago(Edited 1h 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.

pwnmaster300021h ago

This dude is busy.
So who is running intergalactic?

Knushwood Butt19h 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

mkis0071h 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.

DarXyde1h 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

4Scarrs_Gaming14h ago

This is exactly what I was thinking too.

gigoran82h ago(Edited 2h ago)

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

anast16h 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.
