Hook them all together. Dev kit daisy chain sounds nasty.

A terabyte of GDDR5 would probably come in handy.

 

[Rizsparky]

I kinda hope it isn't Uncharted or TLoU..

More TLOU, less Uncharted..

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Please, no Uncharted or TLOU.

While those games were amazing, a new generation of consoles should be seen as an opportunity to show off new ideas and new stories with new IP.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

cannot wait for that Devkit to drop on nov 15!

-haha

 

[The_Monk]

Thank you for posting fellow GAFfer, that is indeed amazing.

I can't wait for what they are cooking next, but I trust them. Story wise and Audio wise, really curious.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Do they? I thought Naughty Dog had simply signed a contract to work exclusively with Sony and Sony were getting worried that Microsoft would try and buy them for an exclusive XBONE game.

My bad.

Is this some poorly masked FUD?

Sounds like something from Mister X.

 

[Ding-Ding]

You got an article on this? That I imagine was a good read, who is ice team.

No article in afraid. The Ice team is a central technology group within Sony. They provide alot of Sony 1st parties with graphics technologies and debugging tools etc to 3rd parties.

It was only found out because Cort Stratton, an ice team & ND programmer told people he was working on the ps4's graphics driver & api on his twitter feed

The next Uncharted game is going to be fucking rad.

As much as I'd be happy to see anything from Naughty Dog I think Sony would benefit from another Uncharted title if Naughty Dog are interest as there isn't a franchise out there with as much spectacle and "wow" as Uncharted.

Looking at inFamous on the PS4 which is out in a few months makes me drool at a new Uncharted.

 

[Yonafunu]

The more devkits, the better the game, right?

I think ND will do one more Uncharted themselves then let another team take over. One last hurrah from ND would let them dictate how the franchise would proceed and would be a gorgeous blockbuster title for early on in the PS4's life.

 

[DR3AM]

120 MORE, they already had some

edit: its 125, not 120?

 

[ICPEE]

Looking forward to whatever Naughty Dog puts out.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Can't wait for next gen ND.

 

[jonnyp]

More TLOU, less Uncharted..

More of both god damn it!

I'm thinking along the same lines, I know it's one of the main games but the Vita version was handled externally with Naught Dog keeping an eye on stuff and that seems to fit on with the way Sony like to do stuff now.

Thinking about inFamous which is out in just a few months and how good that looks I just can't imagine the scale of the spectacle that an Uncharted game which was maybe due for release next Christmas would have.

 

[Gskyace]

Go Go Dogs!

 

[andrerobot]

Why are the boxes that huge?!?!

 

[SnakeEyes]

Uncharted 4 + The Last of Us 2 + New IP.

Gods, please provide Naughty Dog with more of that great game secret sauce.

 

[Septimus Prime]

How about Crash Bandicoot with dynamic fur shaders!?

[jayu26]

Lol, this thread is awesome. Folks are excited about a developer receiving dev kits. It also shows how much pressure is on Naughty Dog to deliver on their next game.

@cbalestra @geoffkeighley those boxes look EXACTLY the same as the ps3 devkits. i do not know why that occurs to me.

[PairOfFilthySocks]

I wonder what happens when you spill coffee all over your dev kit at your desk.

 

[LastNac]

I think ND still has two teams. The Uncharted 2 team that did Last of Us, and then the Uncharted 3 one that is working on...?

There are not two full teams. There are two sets of directors.

Yep saw his comment, the guy is trying really hard to get a job at MS.

 

[RustyNails]

Hey ND, can you give some of those to Ueda?

 

[Celcius]

I don't even want to develop anything, I just want it for the rare-ness lol.

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

How many employees does ND have? They could get one dev kit per person at this rate.

Jesus christ....a box looks like another box? Time to tweet about it!

Not if the 3rd game is anything to go by.....

You sir are crazy.

Who takes Gies serious anyway? He is the laughing stock of "games journalism", that's an incredible achievement in itself.

"And now with U....uh...I, uh, don't remember what game it was but it was test footage on PS4."

Smooth cover, North.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Sony really want Naughty Dog to remain exclusive.

Naughty Dog is Sony, ever since the PS2.

 

[TAJ]

Hey, guys... Remember when MS bought Bungie?

 

[Jezbollah]

Why are the boxes that huge?!?!

Because the dev kits are large?

 

[RoboPlato]

Hey, guys... Remember when MS bought Bungie?

Bungie only bought themselves back because MS wouldn't give them enough freedom. ND can do whatever they want.

 

[KaptinKeezey]

The Last of Us 2 better be fucking awesome.

The thought alone makes me kinda hard.

 

[TAJ]

Bungie only bought themselves back because MS wouldn't give them enough freedom. ND can do whatever they want.

That must be why Bungie used their newfound freedom to make a game that was such an incredible departure for them.And committing to a huge amount of sequels was really something.

 

[LastNac]

I've garnered that its a cinematic experience via presentation and probably Uncharted 4.

Sign me the Hell up.

Nothing gets by the investigative journalism skills and keen eye of Arthur Gies. Not many people would have noticed the similarity between a brown cardboard box and a brown cardboard box.

 

[TheKastorian]

I want to see how Elena looks in Uncharted 4

 

[Skeff]

There are more than 120 Devkits there.

stacked 3x2 with a height of 5 per pallet, 4 pallets = 120 and some more stacked on top. It's all lies!

EDIT: I count 125 boxes, so 1 TB GDDR5 Da PoWaH!

 

[xxracerxx]

Hey, guys... Remember when MS bought Bungie?

Remember when Sony allowed ND to develop more than just one game series?

 

[Lonnie413]

Nothing gets by the investigative journalism skills and keen eye of Arthur Gies. Not many people would have noticed the similarity between a brown cardboard box and a brown cardboard box.

Not to mention the fact every Sony electronic good ships in a box with similar printing from a$5.99 pair of headphones to a case of PS3s.

 

[TheKastorian]

This.

 

[Nexter]

There are not two full teams. There are two sets of directors.

They actually have two teams now. Since 2011 if I remember correctly.

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

A facsimile of Emily Rose. It'll be glorious.

 

[Gbraga]

Naughty Dog is Sony, ever since the PS2.

Well, yeah, but the people working there are not Sony's property, and it's pretty much the thing that matters.

So I guess having a good relationship with them and making them happy could be one of Sony's priorities.

It most likely was not what he meant, but saying "ND is Sony, this doesn't matter" may not be exactly true.
