Forums - Sony - What does Naughty Dog do after Uncharted 2?

Theyve already gone on record to say that there will be DLC for U2, as well as inevitable patches. Those are a given.

 

So after that... What's next for Naughty Dog? Start work on Uncharted 3 or a new Jak and Daxter game on ps3?

 

IMO Uncharted is an amazing series and is looking like Sony's first ever action/adventure TPS that could have longevity like the Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid franchises. Perhaps to avoid oversaturation, it might be smart to save Uncharted 3 for the Ps4? If you look at most series with longevity they only had 2 main games per gen.

 

Jak and Daxter... the hardcore want it. But is there really a market for it anymore? I think there will be, since at $299 the Ps3 will be affordable for younger ppl that J&D caters toward. I personally would love to see it. However making a game with animation/cartoony graphics seems like a bit of a waste of the beastly ND Engine. Something more realistic looking would probably get the most out of the engine. I think a lot of people have forgotten about the Jak series since it's been such a long time too. People who were 15 years old when Jak first came out are significantly older now and probably outgrown the Jak games.

Does Naughty Dog start something completely new and if so, what direction do they go? Personally they are my favorite devs dating all the way back to Crash Bandicoot on the original PS, and Ive liked all their series so I'm pretty confident with ND. I know what ever they put out will be quality.

Overall while I'd like another J&D game I think that part of ND has moved on and would love to see them start another series and let someone else pick up the J&D development on Ps3. It would be too much of a waste to have your best graphics team using 1-2 years on a game with cartoony graphics when they could be using their time developing a new blockbuster exclusive

Is that the fanboy in you speaking, or do you guys think that from a business standpoint that would be the best decision???



Jak and daxtar on the ps3.Naughty dog said they would love to go back to jak but are to busy with uncharted 2.

I say create something new with the Uncharted engine. Maybe something with Sony's motion controllers.



Ratchet and Clank has been pretty successful on the PS3 and I feel that Jak and Daxter could do even better.

I like Uncharted, but it just doesn't seem to have that endearing quality to me that J&D has.

Personally speaking, I will be pissed if we don't see another J&D game soon.



They said they would love to, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they will.

Personally I think it's better they don't. Leave it to one of the smaller developers to take the series over on Ps3.

Start something new, instead of limiting themselves with an old franchise that saw it's sales slipping with every new release.

R&C hasnt been that sucessful. It only sold 1.5 million and came out at a time when there was very little competition on the Ps3.

There also seems to be very little to no hype for the new R&C. I think that series is at the end and Insomniac will be starting something new.

 

I'm not saying we won't see another J&D game...I just dont think it should be from Naughty Dog. Outsource the project to another developer and let them use the ND Engine... kind of like they are doing with the J&D game on PSP.

 



If Naughty Dog isn't making Jak 4 I would rather not see it grace the platform. Crash didn't do too well out of ND hands and I wasn't a fan of Daxter. I would rather see the series fade to obscurity than be butchered as such.
