Wasn't it another developer that made the Vita Uncharted?

Sony gives ND creative freedom and if they didnt we wouldn't seen the last of us. So ND can make whatever they want. I think this is the last Uncharted made by them.

It was, and it didn't reach the critical appeal, which is what will happen. (It was Sony Bend)

lol I'm pretty sure they don't thats why they're retiring Nathan Drake. Sony will get another dev on it if they have a quality studio to spare, say Bend's new game flops. Actually, probably not....

Whatever they loose in Uncharted they will make up in with ND's new IP, just as Uncharted replaced Jak and the Last of Us outsold the OG Uncharted. The last of Us 2 will blaze past the UC franchise.

That's more Microsoft's MO.

Nah Sony will let it rest. I think Uncharted should be laid to rest anyway. Let it end on a bang and create something different.

Sony wouldn't step on ND's toes that way. ND is one of Sony's biggest devs.

It will depend on how well this new game sells. If it's blows away records, you can bet your ass that either they'll get ND to make a new one by pumping millions into them, or hire someone else.

Yep, but not in the near future, just in a long, long time.

What about Golden Abyss?

I dont think its because ND dont want to make Uncharted games anymore. Its more to do with the franchise has hit a dead end. Some games you can only do so much with before they become repetitive. God of War and Gears Of War are also in the same boat. Great games but after awhile the story hits an end. I think what MS did with 343 and Turn 10 are excellent ideas. Make a company sololy for that franchise and hire the passionate devs that want to continue to grow the franchise. Devs can get bored making the same games over and over again and in many cases they tend to leave or the company makes something else which can be a good and also a bad thing. Having a dedicated company just for Uncharted means the devs behind the brand know what there working on. I fear with Uncharted it doesnt have the density to grow. What happens after Nathan Drake? Is the next plot better or worse because many devs wont continue unless they know its just as good as there previous games. In this case ND dont see a future with Uncharted anymore, the next character in line wont be as good or fun as Nathan etc. Its all my opinion but alot of my faverite games end because some times the story just cant continue without ruining the franchise or going backwards. FInish on a high i reakon and move onto something else.
