But Naughty Dog is owned by Sony right?

Or could Uncharted potentially go mutliplatform one day?

I see I'm not making myself clear:

Naughty Dog has never had a hit with quite the buzz/reception of Uncharted. What I mean is, they developed Crash, but it was never theirs nor Sony's. This time, it's theirs (Sony's), and is held in higher regard than Crash Bandicoot. If I say Naughty Dog, I'm essentially talking about Sony, as they are one.

Make sense?


Crash Bandicoot wasn't owned by ND, but that doesn't mean it wasn't ND's hit. That's their game, they developed it, big deal if they didn't own it, it's a big part of their resume and they had everything to do with it. Hell, Crash Bandicoot even holds the record for a non-japanese developed game to make a major breakthrough in Japan! that alone says a lot of the big hit Crash was, and that was indeed  BIGGER THAN UNCHARTED, if I may say so because it's a fact, numbers are there. Sure, now the success is even sweeter and legit, but Crash Bandicoot MADE Naughty Dog, make no mistake about that.

Buzz & reception also include what players thought, reviews, etc. While Crash did sell more, it DID NOT have the same reception, all around, that Uncharted has. The Uncharted brand is considered to be the premiere brand on the PS3. Crash, while big, lost a bit of that PS1 love when games like Final Fantasy VII, MGS, Resident Evil, and Gran Turismo came on the scene. It wasn't the defining franchise on PS1, as Uncharted is for PS3.

Basically, this is Naughty Dog's true hit. I will give Crash the credit for getting their foot in the door, but they will always be known from here on out for Uncharted before anything else. Bear in mind that Uncharted also has the advantage of time (era).


Well, of course. You speak the truth...Now, what would you like to see in this new Drake adventure? What would you improve (from U2), what would you change, and anything innovative to add to the gameplay you can think of?
