Exactly just because a new ip doesn't appeal to you doesn't change the fact that it is a new a ip.
That would honestly be a great team...Man whats happening in this industry lately. all the big players are making a lot of moves. Hopefully, that ends up being a good thing.

Yup. The Last of Us was a forced melodramatic experience with well crafted production values for me. At one point I thought the dialogue was pure sarcasm because holy crap was Drukmann trying hard to be the most serious thing to ever grace gaming.
Uncharted is full of charm, personality and charisma. It doesn't try to be the most serious game in the history of the universe and that's why I would even take Uncharted Fight For Fortune over TLOU any day of the week.
Maybe you quoted the wrong person, because your answer didn't resemble my question whatsoever, so I'll just ask it again, please tell me what new IP you are looking forward to?

I mean realistically it has to right? Or it'd be a new IP.
The foundation is already laid.

Great you pulled a list now how about naming the games that were actually good and the ones that were bad it's real easy to bust out that many games in a year but if the majority of them don't sell and and are crappy games guess what the ones that are really good sell decent are going get sequels plus that list has lair in it, let me repeat myself lair
...We know almost nothing about two of those games.
Why aren't you counting Helldivers, Shadow of the Beast, Everyones Gone to the Rapture, Rime, Hohokum and Planetside 2, all published by Sony and four of which are new IP?
And it's March, three and a half months into the console's lifecycle. We haven't even gotten to the console's first E3 and you're already complaining about lack of new IP.

PS2: Dark Cloud, Jak & Daxter, Ico, Kinetica are the ones I can vouch for
PS3: Uncharted, Warhawk, Folklore, Super Stardust HD, and Calling All Cars were good
On PS4 the 2 big games so far Knack and Killzone(1 of which was a sequel) both sucked and got killed in reviews.

It's simple. Things weren't as risky back then as they are now. Development costs are soaring, and publishers are banking more on established franchises. Not to say that we aren't getting new ips. We are. It's just that publishers are super careful nowadays. Atleast that's how I see it.
By his way of thinking we sure do.
The Evil Within = another survival horror
Sunset Overdrive = another TPS/FPS
Quantum Break = another TPS
It's all been done a hundred times before.

Folks, we're moving on from the derail about investment in new IP.
Yeah, I should have elaborated on that. I think the plots are told well

Not to mention it's entirely two different things, and none of the Uncharted games have particularly great stories or profound storytelling-- because they don't really need it. They're just fun. Uncharted 3 included. Uncharted 2 did not have some superlative plot, but it did excel at pacing (for the most part). To shit on Uncharted 3's writing but to put 2's on a pedestal makes no fucking sense.

They're completely different, I love LoU but I would NOT want Uncharted to go that deep and depressive route. The light-hearted humoristic take on adventure and the chemistry between the lead characters with strong females etc is what makes Uncharted Uncharted, imo. I guess we'll have to see if that is still there with new writers.

To add to this. Uncharted is the equivalent to a summer blockbuster movie that you really enjoy seeing but soon forget.
TLOU is the type of movie that gets nominated for an Oscar.
I get the feeling a lot of you don't actually care about Amy and just want to sling fanboy-ish fud around. I liked what she has done heretofore and I am sure I will like what she does in the future. Same goes for ND. Not too worried about this, but then I have come to terms with the transient nature of all things which could do a lot of you a lot of good.

I think she should do something on a smaller scale or join up with double fine
In a way, I feel like they were already starting to go down more serious paths with UC3. I found it to not have the spark and fun of UC1/2, and instead it felt like they just phoned it in, making Nathan feel guilty about his life choices multiple times, etc. I didn't appreciate them trying to make Elena more 'sexy' either (and Nathan remodeled to look like Gerard Butler). It's like ND missing the point of their own franchise, and is part of why it's a distant 3rd for the console versions for me.
Neil was a writer and Bruce a director for Uncharted 2. There's really no reason to suspect that they would change the series' tone.

Neil himself said he wanted to off Elena. What kind of tone does that sound like to you?
Uncharted 2 was considerably darker than 3 and Drake was a less likeable asshole in that game.

So much character attacking of Hennig, Straley, and Druckmann in this thread over baseless rumors and speculation. Such a travesty
The real disturbing thing is this and how one person is relating this to "Sony makes no new IPs!".

While I'd like to hear about her finding a new studio, and getting back to work, I wouldn't be surprised if ND had a non-compete clause in effect. It could be awhile before she's able to start working in the games industry again. I know that CliffyB and Patrice Desilets had similar clauses in there contracts when they Epic and Ubisoft respectively. I think Patrice's is still in effect until May of this year, not sure about Cliff.
UC3 is way darker.

I don't really mind.
The story in Uncharted 3 was ridiculous and her trying to explain the plotholes months after release didn't do her image any good. Not for me anyway.
I wish her the best of luck though.

I'm pretty sure those are only binding if you quit yourself, and not if you are fired.

Yes we do. Two of those games are exclusive to The One.

Patrice Desilets was fired by Ubisoft, a non-compete is in place until May 2014 (I think the exact wording of the non-compete stuff is in the court documents). http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/...silets-and-ubisoft-.aspx#.UbNpM83kw20.twitter
So? Doesn't mean the game would have been grimdark.

Did you finish UC2? It would've drastically altered the ending.

Uncharted 3 was much more somber, and inward looking than Uncharted 2. It's funny seeing all these "I don't want Uncharted 4 to get depressing if Neil and Bruce take over" posts. Did you people play Uncharted 3? That game was already way too introspective for my liking, and for what i think Uncharted should be. UC2 was fairly light and adventurous aside from the bad plot points where ND decided to bring up how much of a killer Nathan Drake is, effectively dooming their own protagonist to incessant criticism.
I'm pretty sure they'll be able to keep Uncharted on track, and if it does get darker, well it was heading in that direction anyway. How much losing Hennig will actually affect this we can't know maybe until Uncharted 5, if there is one.
