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.

Factions 3

[RaidenBlack]

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.

[VenomUK]

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

[RaidenBlack]

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

[arkard]

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

[crazyCoconuts]

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

[Flewid638]

Sounds horrible. The downvotes are right on this one.

[badz149]

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

[OtterX]

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.

[RaidenBlack]

{ coming from the above thread }
So PS Fellas hate first person games now? (Understandable)
But praise Killzone and Resistance series, as well?
And hope for a return of first party first person games? ~ but from where? insomniac is deep in marvel territory, guerilla is deep in aloy territory ... suckerP are not as big to undertake that change + dedicated to Ghost series
The only options are ND and Santa Monica, who are rumoured to be involved in parallel projects. ~ so take your pick.
And the other 'new' studios at Sony are not that hot right now with knee deep in live service fiasco

...Way of the Warrior 2: Electric Boogaloo

[Amplitude]

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

[Lightning77]

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

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

[pwnmaster3000]

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“

[Lightning77]

OK I gotcha. That makes sense.

[jznrpg]

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.

[Notellin]

Yeah only a narcissist like Druckmann would announce a game this early that has a 99% chance of being cancelled.

[badz149]

so a 2028 release at the soonest

[Lightning77]

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.

[pwnmaster3000]

This dude is busy.
So who is running intergalactic?

[Knushwood Butt]

'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.'

[pwnmaster3000]

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

[Knushwood Butt]

No worries!

[vTuro24]

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

[StormSnooper]

Stupid.

[vTuro24]

You'll sober up one day.

[anast]

Zero experience

[itBourne]

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

[Flewid638]

Sunlight is good for you, I promise. lol

[vTuro24]

Damage has been done but it's not too late yet if they dump him now. Probably won't happen though. It's sad, honestly. We'll see what happens after Intergalactic. That game is going to have a huge impact one way or another.

[StormSnooper]

Yes because they didn’t make some of the greatest games. Right, we all just agree to live in your fantasy from now on.

[Flewid638]

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

[mkis007]

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.

[DarXyde]

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?

[StormSnooper]

Interesting. So they are working on more than we knew.

[Amplitude]

I would prefer if Naughty Dog was working on an unreleased game without Neil Druckmann

[Eonjay]

Not sure that makes sense all all of his projects (including the TV show) have been wildly successful. Also keep in mind he is not making games by himself in a vacuum. He has is large team working with him. And Intergalactic looks really compelling so far.

[Rancegamerx]

I was thinking the same thing, does anyone else at Naughty Dog ever get the chance to make a game, or is it all controlled by the activist clown.

[Amplitude]

It was in every movie, tv show, and game since Obama. You can't even win an Oscar without strict casting guidelines. I worked at an non-profit arts counsel that used to do nothing but concerts - but by the end nearly every event was a gay thing or a race thing. Had to say land acknowledgments before every show (Good luck pronouncing those names in front of a crowd). That's all we could get grants for. Its cool - just like how when the US Institute of Peace was shuttered the Tesla riots stopped - most of the funding for the billions of dollars of USAID grants for LGBTQ have already been cut. Their new game was already in development but we'll see.

Be gay. Be trans. Be whatever you want. Just stop using American tax dollars to advertise it globally. Defund all censorship and let people be people.

Edit: Wait im on N4G. My brain was in 𝕏 mode. Pls don't ban me

[raWfodog]

Great news to me. I loved all of the games that he's been involved with. Looking forward to hearing/seeing more about it.

[northpaws]

Can we just add a slightly improved version of Faction to TLOU2 now?

[Npugz7]

Probably some tranny game

[DoubleYourDose]

So that means you will be first in line to buy it?

[Storm23]

You gonna be ok snowflake?

[coldfire984]

I read naughty dog and I thought "who cares"

[jznrpg]

But here you are

[Flewid638]

That'll show em 😆

[anast]

I hope it's Last of Us 3

[yeastori]

I honestly didn't think TLOU2 game was that bad, it was fun and the game overall was like an 8/10. The writing and story is where it fumbled due to Neil Druckman's bad decisions, character designs, the letting go of Amy Henning, and the direction. It all fell apart due to those factors. I honestly think that the devs themselves are talented and capable they just need to get rid of Druckman and put someone in charge that isn't idealists and lacking vision

[Yui_Suzumiya]

The Last of Us: Part III

[127maXimus]

Cuck simulator?

[InUrFoxHole]

FML! I thought it said Uncharted and I got excited 😢 😭

[__SteakDeck__]

It could be. The Lost Legacy director returned to ND a couple of years ago and he’s working on a game.

[InUrFoxHole]

That would be dope. Even the vita game was great

[Richhard1]

It’ll be a spin off of the last of us, with a tv series to help milk it.

[Mr_cheese]

Doesn't matter how much hate this guy receives, naughty dog as a whole always gets a lot of attention for good or for bad, and for me personally, I'll continue to support them and give them their props as I've enjoyed the journey so far, even if I don't always agree with the decisions. It's their vision and my choice to be part of it.

[Redgrave]

Ok.
