One of the things I've always liked about Naughty Dog is that they've continued to push the envelope.
Every generation, they've pushed things further by doing what wasn't capable on the previous generation.
You couldn't do Jak and Daxter on PS1, that massive world with no load time within the world. You couldn't do Uncharted (especially 2) on PS2. Way too much action happening at once and then TLOU really pushed the PS3 to its limits.
On PS4 things kind of just changed and so did the whole industry. The PS4 was about making more polished PS3 games, rather than games that couldn't be done on PS3. Uncharted 4 and TLOU 2 are extremely polished PS4 games, but I'd really like to see Naughty Dog go into a different direction with the PS5.
So far their efforts remind me of TLOU Remastered, which is fine, but their next game being a MP game leaves me hard-pressed to believe this will be the pioneering game though they've never done a standalone MP game before, so maybe this is a good opportunity for them to maybe not pioneer, but diversify themselves.
I'm more interested to see what Neil is working on. I firmly believe Neil and Cory's next games are what will help define Sony for the start of the PS5 generation.
