Forums - Sony - Do you believe naughty dog will still work at Uncharted franchise next-gen?

MARCUSDJACKSON on 04 November 2011

well everybody has made great points so far. and ND siad that if the fans want UC to continue then it will.

my thing is that i'd like to see them do something new and way out of what we know them for. i'd like to see them expand there studio and work on J&D4, UC4, and a new IP, but i'm more partial to a new IP. i'd lik to see the rumored fantasy game they were going to do with UC. that would be different and lets face it Sony fans love different/new ideas.

It's just naughty dog likes to try doing new stuff every generation. They aren't the kind of developer that stucks on the same franchise for ever.

*coughs*halo

wouldn't ICO do a great UC game? yea i think they have another studio that take the franchise and follow the formula/story given to them by ND. thats what i'd like to see anyway. ready at dawn or Alan wake dev's Remedy could do it.

Do you have any link for that?

AFAIK they said they're open to every possibility and that Uncharted might continue on PS4. So they're not like 'new gen, new franchise' just because.

But IMO they will move on.

I really think not. The best thing about naughty dog is they know when to move on with a franchise. Crash at the time was a monster hit and they just sold it when they saw they couldn't add anything interesting to the series. Uncharted vita will be done by another studio, i can see it clear they moving on and creating a brand new franchise for PS4.

 

I really wany uncharted 3, love the series, but the obsession for endless continuations really are bad. We need brand new games.


Sony will keep the main franchise in the hands of Naughty Dog, but they won't force them to make another Uncharted. That being said, Sony will spend a fortune for another talented developer in the stable to make an Uncharted game(s) if Naughty Dog wants to try another concept (as seen with Golden Abyss for Vita).

Sony won't pigeon hole their developers to make certain games. They never have. The developers always have had creative control over the games they develop. As long as they pitch it right and don't make the executives of Sony Computer Entertainment worry about the direction of the game.

I fully believe Jack Tretton is still in his position because of the success of Uncharted. With everything else that collasped for PlayStation in America (still sold over 20 million units of PS3, by PSP has been dead forever here and PS3 consistently trails behind 360) ever since Kaz moved up the ladder, Uncharted has established not only a franchise that gets the PlayStation faithful excited and rushes out to buy and make a big noise for it, but also characters that gamers love. Characters, that has always been Sony's toughest challenge. Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank and Sly (the mascots of last gen for PS2) all had spotty releases.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursors Legacy was loved, Jak 2 was hated, Jak 3 was good and Jak X was terrible

Ratchet and Clank was loved, but rough, Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando connected with the characters better, Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal was fun, Deadlocked was bad.

The Future series (Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty and A Crack in Time) was okay with only A Crack in Time really being great. All 4 One is rough, beyond rough. Feels juvenile at best.

Sly Cooper, none of the games really established a connection with the mainstream.

Resistance started to build something with the first game, but then Insomniac screwed that up with 2 and 3.

Uncharted has become Sony's greatest franchise (sorry Gran Turismo) because everything about it screams masterpiece.

IDK but if it goes the same way Crash Bandicoot went it probably won't be as good. The Vita game is probably not as good also. ND are just top-notch developers and difficult to imitate successfully.

excellent post. I do love gt5 but I am afraid the uncharted trilogy is now Sony's flagship title. I think in order to keep The uncharted series fresh, sony needs to make sure Naughty dog makes the next iteration. I can't stress enough that Naught dog and sony have created the most liekable and charasmatic protagonist in gaming. It would be acrying shame to see uncharted end after a trilogy. Sony know what their fans want and It will be uncharted 4 as a launch title for ps4.

ND will make UC4 as a launch title for PS4, then they attempt something new. MS is likely coming out with a new Forza, Fable, Gears and Halo (as they do every year) for the next Xbox. Sony and MS are going to want to come out of the gate next gen flexing there graphic power muscle to outdo one another. What better way for Sony to do that, then to have there top developer make another Uncharted game with next gen tech..

If only they could work on two projects at the same time :/

This would be great. Just finished Uncharted 3. Oh my what a game. I can wait for the next one but another uncharted would be great. Even indiana jones got his 4th. Now drake cart racing please.
