What they need to do is The Last Outbreak Us.
All of this.
The Last of Us became my favourite game ever last year. This was a one-and-done game for me and I feel like it told as much as it needed to without the need of a sequel. I'm glad we got Left Behind, but after it, no more.
I'll take this instead.
these games don't sell anymore
even the latest mario game bombed

So they probably feel pushed to do something different. They're probably toying with Jak & Daxter right around now, again. Then, soon, they'll probably look into a genre they haven't tried yet ("Let's make a driving game"). I don't think they'll go with TLOU 2, and they'll probably end up doing a really sexy Jak & Daxter with gorgeous space exploration.

Neil Druckman On Jak said:We felt like we weren't doing service to what the fans of this franchise really liked. ... So we went to our boss and said, 'Do we have to do this?' And he said, 'No. I thought it would just be easier for you guys if you started with something, but if you want to do something else, come up with something else.'
It's not "their" game, really. I mean they had an entirely different studio create a game using their premiere IP. A TLoU port would do well.
Might as well start crying now. In their IGN Spoilercast when asked about a PS4 port they said something along the lines about it being a matter of resource management. I don't think ND will let their games leave their studio.
Well they considered it, but bowed out because the intention for a sequel was solely for marketing reasons. Luckily they chose to do TLoU instead.
No new cast. The original characters are the reason we love the IP. Anything without Joel and Ellie is a cop-out.
If you're going to have a new cast it might as well be a new IP with a world that is more designed around their character arcs.
It's not really a question at all. They only started on the Left Behind DLC immediately after finishing the main game.I think the real question is why the hell have they not started working on something at this point? 50/50? The previous game came out 8 months ago. I love these guys but at this rate they aren't going to release the next game for 4 more years at this rapid pace.
I'll buy anything they make, just don't Last Guardian it in terms of pacing. I'm pretty confident that team 1 is likely to release U4 by summer 2015.
Hmmm. I suppose so. Perfect amount of implied snark in your reply btw.
Eh, honestly Joel and Ellie made TLOU what it is for me.I disagree with this. Neither of them are really that stand out compared to Drake or Sully. They could easily be replaced with characters just as or even more interesting.

Sly 4 though personally I think that went really well.
They also usually have other studios do side games, such as with all the Vita/PSP spin offs that sometimes find their way to consoles as well.

What a weird thing. So people don't want more TLOU? The world is amazing. I want to go back.
I am neither going to agree or disagree with this statement. But your opinion on the subject does have merit enough for nobody to bash it. Though, some may consider their relationship and the characters mutually exclusive.I didn't really find either that interesting alone, it was their relationship that was interesting.
Same. I doubt they want to spend the next 4 years stressed out with another new IP right off the back of TLoU. I doubt they'll do another Uncharted seeing as how that's Amy Hennig's baby. And they already said all that stuff about Jak and Daxter.That isn't what they wanted to do at the time, and neither is TLOU 2 what they want to do now (otherwise it would be 100%).
So, realistically, they can create a new universe or they can make a Jak and Daxter. I think they'll do the latter, mostly because it's different and it's a solid base they can build on. Starting another IP is a risk, I can't imagine the team being all-in so soon after just doing that, and they'd have to be able to challenge TLOU. Then they would have to balance TLOU and this new IP, making sure they are relatively unique. And they'd probably have to commit to this new IP within the next ~6 months before production really starts.
I'll put my chips on a new Jak and Daxter, but anything is possible.
I'm fine with that too, though my preference would be to see Joel and Ellie again.And so will other characters once you've met them.
I had a mostly bad experience with Uncharted 3, so what exactly should I call it? If "bad" is sacrilege for whatever reason, "highly disappointing" is a fine alternate that doesn't seem to rile people up as much.
Just do TLOU definitive GOTG edition on PS4 and call it done.

They even started Last of Us using their engine because people were asking them to share their engine and they wanted more games to use it, but didn't want it to leave their studio. I agree, I don't think they want their games out of their studio. They'll let IP's go to others like Golden Abyss, but their work stays within the studio.
Shouldn't they be cooking something right now? His quote gave a vibe they still haven't decided anything which seems weird. Anyways, i don't mind TLOU 2. But a 3 year wait is brutal.
Well, I'll just say I trust them to do it right if they choose to. I feel they know what they're doing, and if you they really feel like they have another story to tell, I won't be the one to tell them no. More power to emEllie is young enough to change but Joel's character is more or less at the end of his journey. But how would you change Ellie to keep it interesting without destroying the person we grew so fond of? It's a really difficult ask from ND to do more than simply touch upon the two main characters again. Use them as reference points, yes, but TLOU 2 needs new protagonists with fresh hurdles to overcome.
Nah, they said this story of Joel and Ellie is done.I'm also pretty sure they said that Joel and Ellie's story is done. So it wouldn't be a true sequel, just a different story set in the same created world.
