Old ND or new ND? Old ND pure fun. New ND politics and gore porn.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I've never been a fan of their story/slow walk/cutscene heavy elements but holy shit did TLoU2 play like butter. It's the first ND game that I was fully behind because they did finally let go of the reins at least a little and just let me play for long stretches. Just based on that trajectory, I'm really hoping their new IP is something that continues that direction because they've clearly been honing their grasp on satisfying mechanics, game feel and level design.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Last of us has arrived in most peoples eyes, last of us 2 was legit and it’s a story everyone assumes they’ll be a third.

 

[realcool]

"wow this story is absolute drivel"

"yeah but thats some good looking drivel though"

probably something like that

 

[MagnesD3]

Uncharted 5 with Drakes gender transitioned offspring.

She's searching for an ancient relic that will grow her a golden penis that never goes flaccid, the greatest treasure hunt yet.

 

[Gojiira]

This is exactly how it'll be if they make it. Planet hopping, large open levels. Think the Lost Legacy free roam level but per multiple planets. They showed with that game that they could make more detailed levels than the Jedi dev team with no loading issues of any kind.

Yeah they have been building towards those quasi open world structures for a while tbf. Could be really interesting, hopefully it wont be too long before a announcement

 

[twinspectre]

Same boring, linear, cinematic, slow, heavily scripted, dumb A.I movies.

 

[Badlucktroll]

They should do a narrative game that takes place in a single day during a horrific brutal alien invasion, like the spielberg war of the worlds

 

[T0minator]

Same boring, linear, cinematic, slow, heavily scripted, dumb A.I movies.

You know what they say.. boring people get bored. The Last of Us is far from boring or being slow, Part 2 has incredible moments.

But back on topic. I hope their next game is set on another planet(s) with horror elements

 

[Trunim]

I really hope they won't do a jax game again. They've moved away from childish games for a while now. Let's stay on course.

I'd definitely be down for some more Uncharted but for me what made those games so great and timeless was Drake & Sully, that duo was absolute perfection and their banter and incredible voice acting is what elevated it above everything else, without Drake & Sully, it's just going to be another good looking enjoyable adventure romp like the spinoff was

 

[ArcaneNLSC]

A family friendly title called Swinging & Clubbing

For me it's the gameplay, the Uncharted games are better tomb raider games than tomb raider (I still think the best tomb raider game was the first one, but that may just be nostalgia).

But yes, more Uncharted or a spin off, I don't really care so long as it plays and feels the same (with enhancements if needed of course)

 

[Team Andromeda]

At this point, it just be nice just to have a game

Uncharted 2 and 3 are still some of my all time favourites. I agree with the Tomb Raider comparison, I found the Uncharted games always had better and more interesting characters, stories and comedic elements.

Another thing I loved about the franchise, is the games always pushed the Playstation hardware to the limits, and were always visual benchmarks across consoles. I do hope that if Sony are making a new game, they continue with that tradition and push the PS5 hardware.

Obv nothing is gonna capture that first tomb raider experience where you genuinely felt like you where exploring some distant tomb filled with traps and hidden dangers, not to mention that feeling of isolation was second to none. The original tomb raider was a unique experience we never had before in gaming tbf.

I really enjoyed the reboot but didn't think the sequels where as good and they where certainly nowhere near the quality of UC4 or Lost Legacy, then again Naughty Dog are just way out in a league of their own when comes to these sort of narrative driven 3rd person games

 

[ButchCat]

I think Sony will have a bigger executive say in their next game, sure TLOUII sold well but was expensive to make (est. $220m) and I have a feeling that their profit margins were not as high as Sony had hoped and so whatever they're making might be "safer".

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Would like to see ND try its hand at near-future, speculative, or alternate history science fiction.

 

[nightmare-slain]

The same old game we've had for the last 15 years but, if we're lucky, a new setting/characters slapped on top of the boring old formula.

We'll probably get TLOU3 next so they can rush it before the show gets to it.

Would be nice to see them try something different but hey if people buy it you can't blame them for playing it safe and bring in the $

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

Another moviegames that just hardens my heart even more.

Possibly it will be the great Sony singularity, where it is both a moviegames and a marvel game at the same time.

Maybe Microsoft can save us by buying Sony and mismanaging them so badly that we never hit that point. That is the only thing that can save us from the great capeshit moviegame singularity at the end of time within AAA

 

[Hudo]

They're probably (I mean actually Druckmann, mostly) too honed into the "cinematic third-person" game to try something really different. I'd love a new Jak & Daxter game by Naughty Dog. But to be brutally honest, I'd actually love for them to try something completely new. Hey, maybe they can resurrect Motorstorm.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Naughty dog kinda goes through phases (Jak, uncharted, last of us etc.) I think they’ll be a new phase.

 

[=GabrielKnight=]

Nothing I would care about

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

I hope one day we get
"Playstation All Stars Team Racing"

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I hope we're talking about Factions II here.

If so, I want a more polished, bigger budget Day Z inspired game. It's crazy that they didn't start making that back in 2019.

 

[tusharngf]

A game suited for genz people with diverse cast plus graphics never seen before. May be a semi open world game with rpg mechanics or a futuristic mecha based title. I hope they go all out with this one.

 

[Hypereides]

Probably some pseudo artistic endeavor under Dr.Uckmann's leadership that'll make you continue to wonder if its the same studio it once was.

For me it's the gameplay, the Uncharted games are better tomb raider games than tomb raider (I still think the best tomb raider game was the first one, but that may just be nostalgia).

Are we talking the OG Tomb raider or the "new" Tomb raider? Even though Uncharted was enjoyable for what it was, the old Tomb raider games had supremely more gameplay depth than anything Uncharted could offer.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I just hope it's a simple old dime store adventure novel story with simple characters and simple but fun interactions. No revenge plots. No multi-dimensional characters, Just give me a good guy and a bad guy who butt heads in fun ways.

Set it in the 1930's With a big Blimp set Piece and Biplanes.

Uncharted is better than any of the new ones obviously. I already said that in my opinion Tomb Raider 1 is the best of the lot.

They are different games though, Uncharted main focus is guns really with some platforming and puzzles, Tomb Raider (originals) are all about platforming and puzzles with some gun play.

 

[Hendrick's]

Cutscene heavy pretentious story with repetitive gameplay.

 

[mrmustard]

Funny how different opinions are. I don't know the old Tomb Raiders, but i think the new ones have way better gameplay than Uncharted 4. Walk, Talk, climb, hours of driving that boring Jeepi in a wannabe open world, 2 button brawls, very rudimentary shoot outs, rudimentary ridiculously easy 'riddles', no skillsystem, no crafting, no upgrades, no items (except basic weapons).

So it's you who keeps buying Tomb Raider, stop it, they may go back to the original style of games

 

[MasterDerico]

Automatic and deep like a puddle combat, lots of shitchat and lgbt agenda!

 

[metaru_geah_sorrido]

A literary thriller like " The Alienist" or "Devil In The White City" . They have a knack for environmental design, it would be cool to see their version of Victorian NYC or Chicago.
That said, I would be surprised, and maybe happy, if they are not tapped to do an IP from Marvel or Universal...

 

[Robbinhood]

Whatever game you want them to make, there’s 10 more out there. Let them make whatever they want. That will lead to the best end product.

 

[Majormaxxx]

A pile of poo. But a very realistically rendered one. With great animation, environment design, and voice acting.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Continued greatness with untouchable production values.

 

[Danjin44]

At this point I honestly don’t what they make, I lost all interest in their games.

 

[Ivan]

I would love to see their take on FPS ...I wonder if they could move things a bit.

 

[VEZ1R]

They were best of the best but ND changed too much and in game industry they are not a flagship studio anymore. Their next game will prove that. They have unhealthy amount of woke poisoning in their bodies. I'm waiting next Cory Barlog game instead.

 

[-MD-]

Linear story driven games with tons of cutscenes and set-pieces

I wonder how long we'll have to endure this type of game from Sony cause it's basically all they do now.

Don't worry, they're branching out to live service games now

 

[Ar¢tos]

Crash Bandicoot!
But Crash is now a middle aged bandicoot in the middle of a bitter divorce after his teen lesbian slut daughter died from cocaine OD, stuck in a dead end job, constantly reliving the past in his head wondering what he could have done differently, addicted to sleeping pills and finding pleasure only in auto erotic asphyxiation, in a quest to find peace again.

 

[Hudo]

A golf game.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

It will look stunning, play boring, and be incredibly pretentious.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Definitely something fantasy or heavy exploration.

I think they wanna go really open world this time padding out the game time and fantasy secret temple exploration like Uncharted would be the key. No idea about combat, can't see them doing swords and shields though.

 

[RoadHazard]

Not a flagship studio? Lol, TLOU2 is like the most AAA flagship game ever made (you liking it or not doesn't change that).

 

[VEZ1R]

Not a flagship studio? Lol, TLOU2 is like the most AAA flagship game ever made (you liking it or not doesn't change that).

That game was made mostly in transition phase of ND, so it still had very high production quality and some artistic vision. I think current ND incapable of reaching to that level again.

How can you say that when they haven't released (or even shown) a game since then (except for the TLOU1 remake)? What is "current ND"?
