In the annals of Mortal Kombat history, Stryker stands out not for his prominence but for his successive series of blunders and near-misses.
Will focus on "art, merch, and more".
Naughty Dog has announced it'll be celebrating The Last of Us Day - its annual hat tip to the community - again this year, but has warned fans not to expect any game or TV show news.
Is that multiplayer EVER going to drop? Like good lord... I love Naughty Dog so much, they're definitely in my top 5, if not top 3 developers. At this point, it's just getting ridiculous though. There's never even been a trailer for it, right? What the heck is going on with that? Just kind of baffled by the lack of info because I was looking forward to that quite a bit before Last of Us 2 even dropped.
Last gen, 2 years after the PS4 released we had Uncharted 4 but we didn't get a new IP from them.
3 years after the PS5 dropped and we've had nothing new from NaughtyDog and still no sign of a new IP just a remake we really didn't need.
The only thing we know is coming is an online focused multiplayer game and while Factions was a great addition to the original TLOU it's not like any of us wanted a full on multiplayer game spin off to take time away from other things. We could have at least had a reveal trailer of their new IP by now by their second team if the focus wasn't so split.
Feels like they care more about the TV show, it's all they ever talk about even with the writers / actors strike going on.
Goes to show how boring this gen will turn out everyone's talking forever to craft their graphical masterpiece that the generation will be over by the time the next hitters come out
starting to get fairly fed up with all the lack of communication from 1st party. Even when the last of us started its hype was more interesting, showing the ants etc and no one knew what the game was about.
Being totally in the dark is much worse
"Just kind of baffled by the lack of info because I was looking forward to that quite a bit before Last of Us 2 even dropped."
Looks like the rumors surrounding that game been in development hell are accurate.
Based on their last update and some reading between the lines, it seemed like the work they had done was deemed as scrappable by the Bungie gods. I mean, factions was always kinda niche and this GaaS religion is probably looking for it to be a mainstream hit.
I'm guessing it's scrapped altogether. Maybe ND reworks it to be more accessible to the masses, but Last of Us doesn't seem to fit into the prototypical 3rd person shooter for the masses mold imo
Sold a wolf ticket with MP im still annoyed about that… Spent $60 on that game expecting MP to come in a reasonable time frane
They are my personal number 1 dev.
I think they will only drip it if and when its ready and up to their standards.
I don't know how they managed to do 3 uncharted and 1 TLOU on PS3 compared to now...Every Studio needs way more time now. This is a big problem with AAA industry. I think Sony should also have AA studios to make great games on shorter timeline. it could cost 30-40 dollars
Uh, they did. They just closed Japan and PixelOpus recently because AA titles didn’t sell. Guerilla Cambridge and BigBig also ring a bell from the last 5 years or so
Insomniac Games are the new flagship PlayStation studio in my eyes. Naughty dog peaked with Uncharted 2. They can’t get a new game out the door or even a multiplayer game for the matter.
Factions was a setback for sure, as their announcement stated.
I'm sure they're working on something good right now - it's an incredible studio
Agreed.
Insomniac seem blessed with the unique ability to crank out fun, graphically impressive, well-polished games at pace.
That said, I'm really wondering what's going on with Wolverine, which was announced two years ago now.
I wouldn't expect to hear anything about that until Spiderman is out. There were some updates from team members saying that they have started production of Wolverine now that Spiderman is complete. Given their pace, I wouldn't be surprised if the game is in fact still on track for 2024.
One of my must wanted games. It has my 3 top vechiles of choose to play with. Subs, Planes & Boats altogether.
