WHAT I REALISTICALLY EXPECT AND WANT ON PS4

So, we're all betting on Uncharted 4 being Naughty Dog Team 1's project then? Somehow, I don't see it.

Given the history of how Naughty Dog operates, the talented people there etc., I can't see them wanting to stay on just one project. Even with the runaway success that UC was, I think they'll move onto something else. Maybe give Uncharted to Bend or Team 2 or something.

Unless Sony forces them to of course, idk.

They were FORCED to stop making Crash Bandicoot since they didnt own the IP. 

Jak 2 and 3 had poor and declining sales, so it made sense to start a new IP on PS3.

 

 

It absolutely would not make sense to drop Uncharted at this point. Its become a big success and sells well (6 million). 

 

For Sony it wouldn't make sense, sure, but look what happened with the previous two transitions:

Crash -> Jak.  Changed from a 3D platformer in an essentially 3D field to a fully 3D, expansive, open world, critically acclaimed masterpiece.  They could tell a better story, create more exciting worlds, introduce etc.

Jak -> Uncharted.  Changed from a teenage-esque platformer with shooting elements to a fully fledged third person shooter with a grown up, exciting story with interesting set pieces, which just made an incredibly cinematic game.

I don't like overhyping companies, but I want to see what Naughty Dog can do next.  I genuinely believe that they can expand their games even further if they're not bound in by having to cater to a pre-existing franchise.
