Probably the best new IP series (not one and done) of this current generation. Can't wait for U4

Yessssssss!
Seems like a lot of people are burnt-out on UC but I'm definitely not one of them. Bring on UC4!

Great post, and I agree. But I have to ask. Was the last sentence bleed over from recent Seinfeld viewings?

I wouldn't mind an UC4, I just hope they take a bit from TLOU in their approach to combat. You don't have to throw 100 bullet sponge enemies at me in every encounter.

Sony have no problem showing a ton of hunting game for Vita, you have God Eater 2, Soul Sacrifice, Toukiden, Freedom Wars, probably more that I'm not aware of.
also, DeepDown is a free to play game, with random dungeon that will never look as elaborate as a properly crafted dungeon like Demons/Dark Souls.
I don't understand the reasoning.
Naughty Dog has limited resources, so i would like them to work on IPs i think have more potential left than something i'm not interested in.
It's not simply a matter of "just not play it" because as they develop Uncharted 4, they are also NOT developing something more interesting.
Of course they're free to do whatever they want, this goes for anyone including Capcom to transform Devil May Cry in DmC or Square rebooting Tomb Raider or what have you, however i'm just gonna keep pointing out how not ok with it i am.
Besides, it's not like i was opposed to the idea of Uncharted having sequels, infact, it had 3 of them (including Golden Abyss, though it wasn't from them directly), i just think it's really limiting them and i started to feel a fatigue, playing 3, where the awesome set pieces didn't impact me as they did in Uncharted 2.
It's not the same as those people who just ask for a series (Assassin's Creed, Silent Hill, etc) to be over, just because they don't like it, the point is that their resources are limited and i would like to see their talent applied elsewhere.

Haha I love it. It fit perfectly though, because I've noticed the same thing. It's tough to go into a thread for Uncharted and expect a different outcome anymore. The upcoming Gen has me really hyped for what's to come. I would love to see a new game but would also love to see a new IP from ND that establishes itself like UC did way back when.
I've never seen so much truth in one post.
Also Hip Hop Gamer spoke about this during this year's E3, he mentioned being told by a developer Uncharted 4 is in the works, and the trailer will premiere during this year's VGAs. (at the 4:47 mark of video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFlE1twTzSA
That's fine, I wouldn't mind UC4. Fuck a TLOU sequel.
Honestly did people expect the next ND game to be Savage Starlight? It was always going to be UC4. They probably started preproduction on it awhile ago and the rumors/hints out of the studio was closer in line to another UC adventure. Besides you should want Druckmann and Straley doing Starlight anyway.

Naughty Dog has 2 teams (afaik), 1 already finished giving you a new IP, the other one is likely working on a sequel to one of Sony's (not only ND) successful franchise.
Asking for another new IP after TLoU and dismissing those who likes a sequel of Uncharted is pretty selfish.
Wanting a new IP after a new IP is ridiculous and noone in the right mind will do that if their IPs are a success.
I understand some of you would like ND to work on a brand new IP instead of an existing one. It's completely understandable. (They just released a new one a few months back.) But you guys are thinking like a gamer. You are not thinking like a businessman. Both Sony and Microsoft don't care about launch as much as they do the 2014 holiday season. I mean, yes they still care about launch but they both know the hardcore members of their fanbases will be there at launch. They know their systems will be sold out.
The 2014 holiday season is very important to them. They both need a big IP to release during that time period to get the casual market to buy their systems. Microsoft announced back at E3 that the next Halo is coming out late next year. That's their system seller for the holiday season. Halo will draw in the non-hardcore fans and lead to an increase in Xbox One sales. Sony needs to match that with a big IP of their own. The next entry in their biggest IP, Gran Turismo, won't be ready for the 2014 holiday season. Uncharted is their biggest new IP this generation. While it doesn't sell Halo/GT numbers nor sell as many system as either series, Uncharted is still a system seller. I personally know several people who would buy a PS4 the moment the next Uncharted is announce.
Would I love to see a new IP from Naughty Dog? Yeah. Does Naughty Dog possibly working on a new Uncharted bothers me? Hell no, I love Uncharted. I'll still be there day 1 for whatever game they are working on. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go back to playing TLOU MP.

You're definitely entitled to do so, but I think the problem is: at what point does "Boo, new IP!" just become thread crapping noise in any thread about ND? I only read the first page but it's littered with it, and doesn't really seem to encourage discussion (IMHO).

Personally I thought so, the shooting mechanics, enemies and cover system were poor to me. Graphics, sound, production values etc. were all high but I was commenting as per the game itself. Just an opinion though and I realise I am in a minority.
Seemed a pretty generic formula to me unless they really take it a new direction with UC4, even UC fans would argue UC3 was essentially a remade UC2. And they both sold about the same so fans were obviously happy enough with that alone. I liked UC3 more though and do think there are a lot of differences, so not saying that myself. As for another dev, I thought the same about the likes of Bioware on KOTOR, Rocksteady on Batman etc. but I was wrong so would believe as long as Naughty Dog had creative control it would all turn out fine.
Anyway, too late now so wouldn't matter what anyone said... I hope they do ramp it up and take it in a new direction.

It could be possible that they're going underwater with this game. It's not space; but they could have been looking to experience the sensation of not relying on hard surfaces.
It would not be a big stretch for Uncharted; which has had a strong water presence in all their titles; which has even picked up over the titles. Deep diving for treasure?
A further out thought would be if the cordycep infection (mutation) came from an alien source? What if TLOU2 just goes completely insane and aliens just pop down half way through the game; with big messed up looking mutated freaks?
Those are some possible stretches for the existing projects; other than that, it could be a new title. Personally, I'd still like to see more of Uncharted and TLOU. They are both easily in the top ratio of best games I have ever played; both of which have a heck of a lot of room left to grow. Especially TLOU.

But yeah, I've talked about Uncharted 4 on these forums... like months ago. It's the worst kept secret at Sony.

Would love the see a new uncharted on next gen. The franchise is well known and its something that will sell well even to the casual market.
They have 2 teams and I'm willing to bet the second team will work on a new IP just like they did with TLOU. IMO It just makes sense to do it that way. You need some exclusive franchises that are well known to promote your platform.

Uncharted on the PS4 would make me crazy excited, I'd love to see how far ND can push it this early on. Glad I'm not the only one sick of all the bitching and crapping on sequels from high-tier developers, this gives me too much deja-vu back to the Retro outcry. (and honestly this situation is even more stupid when you consider TLOU just came out this year)
In regards to changes, I think Uncharted 2 almost had it perfect so I would like the team to look back at that. For instance, combat in Uncharted 3 got tedious at times due to the high volume of enemies that are bullet-sponges. I also thought the difficulty levels in Uncharted 3 were all over the place and "not fair" at times. Another issue I had was story, I actually love the premise of Uncharted 3's storyline but it was a little sloppy and could have used some refining. (Ex: Plot threads introduced only to never be addressed) Also they need to work on the pacing, I don't want to have several hours of shooting, do a single easy puzzle, and then have another several hours of shooting. Mix up the shooting/platforming/puzzle/adventure elements more so that the game feels more like an Indiana Jones style adventure rather than Gears of War. I would love to see more "open" elements of the game as well as some have desired, but at the same time I think the big setpieces should stay as they are in the series DNA.

And theres no indication at all its being made by ND? I mean, if they're making it its good in the sense that theres a 95% chance the game will be really good, on the other hand it means we won't see a new IP until 2016. On the flip side, wouldn't mind if Bend made it, but ND is a touch act to follow for those goes and I don't know if they can match that level of quality for a full console release.

Series go up and down. Sequels aren't always better. UC2 and UC3 were also different teams. If they still have more story to tell and want a safe financial bet, they can do that.
They also said they're only interested in doing character based, narrative drive games. Should we be whining they're not doing platformers anymore too?
That would be amazing if they used the AI systems from Last of Us in UC4 but applied the verticality of the series to it.
Edit: What are the chances of 60fps?
I thought the AI was a big weak point in TLOU. I do hope they give UC4 more of a tactical approach though.

Yep. Someone asked him to tweet "buttercup" and he did (which he has since removed, or I just can't find it). He also had a few tweets about... which he also removed.
But yeah, unless someone had control of his google and twitter account... it was him. He was only there for a little while... didn't give any info but did ask about PC games people wanted to see on the platform.
At times I agree, but I think TLOU was certainly a step up from enemy AI in Uncharted. There were times that I was significantly pissed off when playing high difficulty scenarios in Uncharted 3 due to poorly planned enemy encounters.

It's was expected and anyone that thought otherwise would be stupid .
The need a IP to push systems in 2014 if they can get it out , UC is big and can maybe grow some more .
My only worry was Sony handed it off to someone else .

ND has two teams now... as you know. And they already made a new IP... as you know.
That's why I don't get the whole "but they always make a new IP!" They did. It's called The Last of Us.
Just from a gameplay/setting point of view I would wholly support a TLOU sequel, but at the same time I don't know if it is really something that has to be made.
it's good enough, but uncharted 3 is a total disaster when shooting is involved. Unfortunately, that's 99% of the game.

Such whiners in here, yikes.
Yea, they made one new IP every generation. But they are much bigger now and can support two projects side by side and the console generations have been longer than usual. Quit your bitching.

They can have two IP running.
I'm not asking team A(let's call it that) a new IP after LoU, if they intend to work on LoU 2 and 3 after that, fine with me.
Team B just came out of the THIRD Uncharted, i don't think it's crazy for them to start working on something else.
Besides, LoU sold incredibly well, so it's not like a new IP would be a financial suicide.
Well in a thread about Uncharted 4 being a concrete possibility as their next project, i don't see people saying they're disappointed as someone shitting up threads.
If in the future, Uncharted 4 threads keep on having people complaining about how they wanted something else, then you'll have my sword.
I sure don't intend to stalk every Uncharted 4 thread in the future saying how bad of an idea it was, until they ban me.
Just to be clear.
However this thread's specific subject is a tad different.
What are you on about? I said they can do whatever they please, i'm free to say why i think it's a bad idea or that it doesn't sound intriguing in the least, to me, as long as i'm respectful and i'm not ranting.
Not every critical post is "whining".
