Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is certainly channeling some Uncharted vibes, and Naughty Dog ought to push ahead with an alternate tone as well.
Little is known about Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, but it should learn from another Sony property for its tone, world, and story.
A tenuous link between a 6 year old game and a game not gonna be released for at least another 18 months of which we’ve had 1 video of 4 months ago.
A bit weird is good, but aiming to be weird for buzz and marketing appeal can get meme appeal but might not actually translate to appealing to the people you actually want to buy your game, it might do the opposite and drive them away. After 6 years and a lot of games bought, I have never given Death Stranding a second look to buy it as I genuinely have no idea about the actual playable bit of the game and my only reference is babies in tubes, black goo and Mads Mikkelsen.
Not that it matters, it’s a Naughty Dog game so I’ll be buying it (I expect many many disagrees because it’s a bit positive about Naughty Dog at any stage after 2020)
Please no. The weirdness in death Stranding is the only this that is putting me off. Normal ness please just in the future.
Normal is boring in videogames and movies. Why not let the developers go nuts with their wildest ideas? Thats what this medium is for
The last of us 1-2 is all about normal human struggle's. In a post apocalyptic world. Keep it normal around the theme of the game.
The silly fantasy in death Stranding is to ridiculous.
You probably never played Death Stranding, so you will never understand
And as you said it, keep it normal around the theme of the game. So in Inregalactic, where you battle monstrous things, and you cant leave a planet because reasons, the developers cant come up with something not normal as explanation?
I played death Stranding of cause. Loved the world and the walking around delivering packages. But the weird ass Story and monsters was not fun. Felt like it was some weird stuff from a weird dream. Classic Kojima who cannot just do without absurdly stuff. Only person it's fun to is himself. I love his creativity but please dial it down for ones.
Don’t worry guy, Sony does adult and weird games. It’s M$ and Nintendo that does the watered down stuff for the masses
In a rare Rich-less Direct, John, Alex and Oliver compare notes on the latest, news-packed Nintendo Direct - which raises plenty of discussion points and controversy despite no showing of Switch 2. Meanwhile, there are hints that The Witcher 4 and Intergalactic may well be cross-gen/next-gen titles, Alex vents on the quality of recent Nvidia drivers, while John shares impressions of his first ever GDC.
Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet reportedly won't make 2026. Neil Druckmann tells IGN: "We are playing it at the office and it's incredible."
We'll probably know how the PS6 looks by then. We really go a whole gen without a ND game?
If it's 2027 with no delays, it's probably going to be a late PS5 game, like the last of us was a late PS3 game.
They had also already launched three Uncharted games on PS3 before that lol.
Although in fairness if a studio like Naughty Dog released three games in a single series in five years like they did with Uncharted, fans would lose their minds with "they're milking the franchise and driving it into the ground" criticisms. I mean, people said they were driving Last of Us into the ground after one sequel that came out seven years after the first game lol.
@jeece Gamers now are so used to games taking 7+ years to make that if a fan wants a sequel to a game 5 years after the last one that its too soon and is going to feel rushed, like some gamers are saying its too soon for a new Far cry game when the last one came out 4 years ago. Games are too bloated now that dont need to be, too many devs trying to reinvent the wheel to a series that doesn't need it. Sometimes all we want is just more of what we just played just to continue the story, just new locations and maybe new weapons. A series known for being linear shouldnt try to become a game thats as open as GTA, maybe make it semi open but thats it. Killzone Shadowfall and UC4 found the sweet spot with their semi openness for a series known for linearity, more games should follow that path.
I dont think so. And it wouldn’t be the first time “an analyst” talks out of his a$$.
The article gives a lot of info based on that one on one interview with director of 28 years later. Im loving whats being said, but i think i reaally should stop reading all the articles about this game. I want to go in blind!
Ps: For this game alone I’m updating to PS5Pro. (And Yutei)
Right at the end. To think we not only got 2 new franchise Uncharted and TLOUS as well as 4 main games in the PS3 gen alone. Now this?
Insane isn't it. Poor leadership is the issue. This game came out of nowhere and we're just supposed to be excited because Neil thinks it's great...wow I'm excited.
Cringe. I can already tell you're one of those who follows their YouTube Lords and don't think for themselves lol
@bunt, and you already have so much games that gives you just that. Maybe skip this one if it doesnt appeal to you
@bunt-custardly
Just don't buy the game, you have plenty of waifu's at home to keep those hairy palms busy. Let games be games, not your porn fantasy.
See you guys are part of the problem. You guys are the reason why we have Ubisoft and tons of other western developers making their females look...well...ugly, manly and fitting the narrative that women in games must NOT be sexualized lest they won't be taken seriously (yet, JAPANESE, CHINESE and Korean developers says a big fat hello boys).
Erm, yeh am going to disagree with you. I can still enjoy a game if the lead character wants to look like Ripley from Aliens sure, but as a preference I like women to be women, not clones of men in a female body. But, when it comes to ND and their forced agendas. I honestly think their actions are more baiting than anything (cue Abi from TLOU2 and how much controversy she caused by-design).
A bit silly of some of you commenters assuming things about me on a personal level, just because I enjoy a bit of eye candy. But if back-handed ad hominem is your thing, then go for it.
@Bunt
"But if back-handed ad hominem is your thing, then go for it."
I mean if your vocal position on the game so far is "I like my female gaming characters to look less androgenous" it's already not a good position. Expect the back-hands... or just have a picture of you favourite cg waifu's you fancy sitting next to the screen while you play so you don't get overwhelmed by the scary androgynous character.
Imagine being so caught up in bs that he cant stop himself from commenting on the length of a female character’s hair as an “agenda”, then turning around and saying all of you guys are “the problem”. He must have drank the entire cool aid that one.
Bunt, has it occurred to you that people disagreeing with you don't do so because they "want females to look ugly and manly" but because they don't need every female character to look like a Barby doll in order to enjoy a game. Some people play games for reasons other than gooning, like, ya know, story or gameplay...
Another person that lacks experience and is proud of it. This is definitely a strange phenomenon.
Not seeing a beautiful woman as attractive is a you thing.
But it's okay. It can be confusing. Hope you figure yourself out.
Hoping we can customize the character with hairstyles or helmets (Ratchet and Clank-style) haha
Almost a 50/50 split on this rather silly comment, yet interestingly (and proving my point somewhat), the only people who are commenting, are the 50% who are in disagreement with it. The other 50% are staying silent. Sums it all up really who has the loudest voices and facilitates these changes.
Because the other 50% know they are being ridiculous.
And what “changes”? You think maybe you been lied to that short hair equals a bunch of other things? Snap out of it. You’ve been brainwashed!
@s2killinit depends how long you've been gaming for go back in time and you will see a massive difference in how lead female characters were presented compared to today. There has been a massive paradigm shift towards less sexualized female characters (not male) in Western developed video games due to a number of factors, but a big part of that shift is due to the fact that people who object, have gotten into roles where they can influence design choices and make decisions. It's not conjecture; it's a fact.
N4G has posted several stories on this topic if you look around. I'm all for diversity, and also don't really care what the character looks like if the game is good. But, I do have preferences (which I'm allowed to have). That's why, I love games that allow you to customize the character, so everyone is catered to.

Hmmm, not a western developed game methinks. Not going to see a shaved head version here.
Beating a dead horse here. I'll be quiet now.
You know it's a sci fi right bald space marine bounty hunter been done a million times since the 70s not everything is woke
You’ll live.
OT: Cook! As long as it’s great at launch (and it will be), take your time!
We had 3 Uncharted games and LoU at the end of the PS3 gen. U4, Lost Legacy and LoU2 on PS4. All we've gotten from them is a fancy asset swap for yet another port of LoU and YEARS of dev for Factions wasted after cancellation. I'll live but the fact still stands, this gen whomps yo.
Good thing I didn't buy PS5 Pro what a big waste lol I get the PS6 along side with this game in 2 years time.
I mean, if the gen hinges on the single actions of Naughty Dog for you, more power to you.
I tend to be a little more grateful than that.
And no, TLOU: R wasn’t an “asset swap”, but a full remake using the PS5.
@Inverno, who said that? Lol. Some of guys seem to love misery even when it based on nothing.
He's not wrong though, they haven't done anything brand new this gen other than remakes and remasters, there's literally not been a brand new game since TLOU2 and a new IP since the original TLOU in 2013
So it's not based on nothing, it's based on the cold hard truth. Are we really actually denying this?
Dood it's not coming out til 2027. Safe to assume that next gen will arrive then too, that's the whole gen without an ND game. Not just ND tho, many PS studios haven't or won't put out more than maybe 1 game built for the PS5, and not a cross gen release with PS4, this gen. You can't say that isn't disappointing when many of their studios worked on so many projects, big and small, last gen. Nothing from SSM, ND, BEND, MM, even Insomniac who has more put out slightly more has only put out Marvel related projects. Sucker Punch will be putting out a Ghost sequel built exclusively for this gen, 5 years into it! Which means it'll be their only game this gen. The excitement is dead, if not for third party releases this gen would not have been worth it.
They do. Lots of complaining and no appreciation for the things that have released. Of course, based on disagrees, we see that misery loves company. Just glad I’m not part of that.
Why do I get the feeling they’re going to release a statement in 2027 saying they’ve had to make the tough decision to release on PS6 in order to provide us with the best version they can…I hope I’m very wrong…
How can you go from so many great games to 0 new games?
I doubt it. Sony is also known for releasing major games for the previous gen while the new gen has started.

Would love to see them resurrect way of the warrior for PS5.
liars...Woke chracter.. Woke game...
'Again, not much is known about the upcoming action-adventure title, but its reveal trailer certainly gestures toward a swashbuckling, cheeky, and lighthearted tone that should feel familiar to fans of Nathan Drake's misadventures.'
Did we watch the same trailer?
I agree it looks like half of Naughty dogs winning formula
I'm hyped!
