IGN: Find out why the PlayStation brand is the home of the most exclusive content.
Neil Druckmann, the creative director of The Last of Us, is working on a new, unannounced game at Naughty Dog.
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.
So, judging from the dislikes, hardcore Sony fans here don't like first person games, anymore?
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
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.
{ 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
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?

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“
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.
Yeah only a narcissist like Druckmann would announce a game this early that has a 99% chance of being cancelled.
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.
'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.'
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.
Yes because they didn’t make some of the greatest games. Right, we all just agree to live in your fantasy from now on.
yall say that about ever developer and then they end up becoming more successful lol
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.
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?
Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.
It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.
No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.
I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.
I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games
Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.
Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki and CFO Lin Tao talked about the state of the PlayStation business and the strategy and targets going forward, including how they're responding to the tariffs.
I think they take that into consideration when they announce their projections. Currently, after the xbox price increase, the PRO is cheaper than the series x! That is ridiculous, and it can’t last.
you keep saying that but the price of a PS5 Pro is S699.99 (US) and the price of a Series X is $599.99 (US)
The series x with 2 TB storage space is more expensive than PS5 PRO which also has 2 TB storage space.
Oh so you are pitting a regular Pro with a special edition X... got it. If you are going so far as trying to compare apples to apples... please add in the optical drive and stand to the Pro. Seeing as the X has both of those by default.
I will help you if you are unable to do so.
PS5 Pro 2tb: $699.99, Optical Drive: $79.99, Stand: $29.99 = $809.97
Xbox Series X Galaxy Black Special Edition 2TB: $729.99
The PS5 PRO has 2TB storage. The series X with 2TB storage and much weaker, is… more expensive! So yeah, Im pointing out that fact.
Also, the PRO does not require a stand.
Ps: regular series 2TB is $749 (where did u get 729?)
Its right here on the official XB site: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...
Okay, so no stand for the Pro, but you might still want the optical drive. So $779.98 vs $729.99. A properly outfitted Pro is still more $$ than a 2tb X.
Do I need to mention that the series x is not nearly as powerful as the PS5 PRO?
And no, the PS5 PRO runs just fine without a drive, and people don’t have to buy the drive right away, assuming they want it.
People are spending less time playing is a typical trigger for this.
The less time spent playing the less likely you are to spend more money on games and services including subs or even the next console.
Increased engagement equals more money.
Same reason Microsoft does it: it looks better to investors and it's a solution when unit sales slow down.
Personally, I'm not a fan of this metric; and by using it, you're kind of signaling that you're moving into the "This is a PlayStation" era.
"I wonder why they are shifting focus to MAU."
Because they´d finally realized that MS wasn´t wrong after all.
"The thing is, Polyphony lost some clout with Gran Turismo 5, not due to the game's quality but because it was heavily-delayed and took forever to come out."
The flip-flopping in the media is disgusting.... anyone remember "a 10/10 sim in a 5/10 game"?
damn that's a long list in 4 pages
that's why i love sony
they are as the article headline say :
"the PlayStation brand is the home of the most exclusive content"
i wonder how many pages will it take to count MS exclusives ???
"The thing is, Polyphony lost some clout with Gran Turismo 5, not due to the game's quality but because it was heavily-delayed and took forever to come out."
Yes it took forever to come out but the game was only delayed 'ONCE' due to the bluray production issue before the games release. How can a game be heavily delayed when there was NO release date mentioned until E3 2010?!
And the 10/10 sim in a 5/10 game was a joke of a description. Gran Turismo IS a sim just like Microsoft Flight Simulator is a sim but we don't call Flight Simulator a game do we.
GT5 was a great addition to the franchise that was probably the most 'nitpicked' game to be released ever.
"SCE Japan has lost a great deal of stock with players as of late due to its inability to release The Last Guardian in particular"
This statement makes me worried that when the Last Guardian does get released it will be subject to the same 'criticism' that plagued GT5....even if it is a work of art.
Sony's quality first-party studios have them in great position moving forward into next generation. If they keep their focus on making quality first-party titles instead of seemingly solely catering to the millions of casual gamers out there, their future consoles and games will always have a place in my home.
SONY might own a lot of first-part studio and have the most exclusive games "but" for me personally this tells nothing, the reason? because I buy a PS3 to play JRPGs how can I be happy when my favorite JRPG devs make games for 360 and Wii.. Sagakuchi didn't develop a single game for the PS3 he make his next 3 games after left SE & create his own company for 360 & Wii, & Takahashi make Xenoblade one of the best if not the best JRPG this generation as every1 say for Wii, so what we have on PS3?
I dont care about WRPG & dont any1 mention Valkyria Chronicles or Disgaea those r Strategy RPG or Demon Souls/Dark Souls those games r not a JRPG, where is my old favorite franchises? where is Suikoden? where is Breath of Fire? where is Wild Arms? where is Grandia? where is Legend of Dragoon (SONY WAKE UP!) ? where is Legaia? where is Chrono Cross/Trigger? WHERE???
The one and only true traditional JRPG that comes in my mind for PS3 is not even out yet and that's "Ni no Kuni", PS3 is out for 6 whole years and I dint play a game I can say that this was the reason I buy my PS3, at least I play MGS4 & UC 1,2 but still as I say already JRPG was the reason I buy a PS3 because I was sure that this will be the console for JRPG fans exactly how it was with PS1,2 where I play & finish countless games.
This generation suck for JRPG fans especially those with only a PS3 and especially if u live out of JPN, that's a fact and it's really sad my disappointment will never end.
