Forums - Sony Discussion - Should Naughty Dog Expand to 3 teams?

According to VGC the Uncharted franchise have sold nearly 20 million copies. And The Last of Us is confirmed to have sold at least 8 million copies (should be around 10 million now).


With all their talent and current success, wouldn't it make sense for them to open another team? 

And if they should open another team, what you like them to work on?



Around the Network

After all those lay-off? I don't think so, and btw they confirmed that the second team that's working on TLOU 2 / new IP is indeed VERY small and majority of ND devs is working ONLY on Uncharted 4

 

but I wish they will make an Uncharted collection even for the price of delay of a thief's end



If they made another team the new workers might obviously not be as talented.



Whenever they would start another team then I would like for them to work another new IP without affecting the quality of their games.



I don't think so. I already wonder if they didn't stretch themselves too much doing UC3 and Last of Us at the same time since UC3 was kind of a letdown to me after the first two. Though that was really due to design choices rather than not having enough manpower.



Around the Network

Only if they are really set on making TLOU 2. The team is far too talented to just reside to Uncharted and TLOU. I want to see them do something completely different with maybe a fantasy/sci fi/adventure element but I don't want to wait till 2017/18 (if we have to wait for the U4 team)



No. If anything Sony should acquire RAD and make them ND 2.0



Sure as long as they keep the same level of quality. Team for Uncharted, The Last of Us, and a new IP, have a 3 year development cycle.

Naughty dog like "any other" studio lost people. Its normal. They are crown jewel of Sony and many seem to make an issue about it.

Do you know that ready at dawn (the order 1886) consists mostly ex-naughty dog veterans. Many people left to form their own studio. Or do you know Naughty dog lost lots of people while making uncharted 1 (people thought it wont work)?

@OP - Nope. Two is more than enough. Better not spread too thin.



nah. 2 teams are fine. Dont want to overload them



Favorite games of all time:

1. Halo 2

2. Uncharted 2

3. The Last of Us

4. Read Dead Redemption

5. Dark Souls
