Let's look at it this way: if Sony had kept hold of the rights to Crash, somehow, you just know there'd be Crash games still being made up to this very day. Probably at least one of those would have been a Naughty Dog game. Jak got ditched because it was a shitty franchise (and even then it got a fourth game this gen). Uncharted will return. And with a 2-team Naughty Dog, I bet it'll return under their roof.

Lol at huge corporations making decisions based on "tradition". What the hell is wrong with you people?
They said they wanted to ditch the cartoony games and do something more realistic because the hardware allowed them to render realistic humans and environments convincingly. It was also a way to challenge themselves and avoid being pidgeonholed into the cartoony platformer genre which was obviously the right thing to do in hindsight.

That's a rather simplistic view, though. Crash largely defined the PlayStation but it wasn't a Sony-owned IP and Jak & Daxter couldn't quite fill those boots vis-a-vis the PS2. Looking to ND's past and saying with absolute confidence that Uncharted will adhere to history is simply being wilfully ignorant of just how important the franchise has been to the PS3's momentum.

Your statement is wrong. Bookmark this.
There will be a TLoU 2. They have two teams. ND did go from Crash to Jack between gens because they didn't own the rights to Crash. They were still a small team then. As they grew making Jak 2 and Jak 3 they decided they wanted to move into something with a more serious but still fun story. So they made Uncharted. Uncharted is Hennig's creation, and she is still a creative force there. She isn't giving it up and neither is ND. There were reasons why they changed IPs between gens before this... there isn't a reason to now. Especially considering that they already did make a new IP as well. That's the entire point of the two team setup.
I guess we should be thankful that they are using a two team setup to make different games instead of yearly uncharted's. Because you know if Ubisoft was the publisher that's what we would get...

It's not about tradition. It's about a company generally knowing when enough is enough and knowing something new is far more attention grabbing than another by the numbers sequel to a franchise that doesn't really have anywhere to go.

Please be fake, let the franchise rest.

I would like for the next game to be focused on Antartic and to show us that "Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration" was in fact race to find some ancient treasure [that is off course guarded by some ancient evil].

No, they weren't. In the comment section the author said he was hinting at what he wanted.
Why wouldn't Amy Hennig get to make her own new IP? She's still the biggest name at ND.
agreed it's only logical
though I want to explore it a lot more instead of it being like in 2
where we are only in shambhala at the tail end.

The problem is that you think they're going to make a by the numbers sequel. What indication is there that they'll do that? At the very least they're going to have three years to work on Uncharted 4 if that's what they're working on. That's longer than they had with Uncharted 2 or 3. And with them using their existing engine that'll make the console transition smoother for them which should make it easier to implement big changes to the franchise even early on in the generation.
I expect both Uncharted and a new IP from ND in the next generation:
If Uncharted showed something, it's that they're very talented and can create a successful franchise. If TLOU showed anything, it's that if they have the passion for something, they can produce something incredible and be extremely successful with even a new IP.
When they're producing hit after hit, if they have a passion project, they'll be allowed it. They have earned that trust by making their name synonymous with quality amongst gaming fans. I fully expect a return to previous hits, some surprises, and also a venture into new directions.

Also the Plato quote is paraphrased and seems to be more based upon the line from Disney's Atlantis film, rather than his actual dialogue lol

I guess I prefer Druckmann, but there are a lot of possibilities since they have two teams now.
Well, that's one to
Always liked Atlantis related stuff so would be cool with this.
First thing that came to my mind as well haha.

I want Naughty Dog to make a sci-fi game.

I love Uncharted but it is disheartening to see another. They should stick with the tradition of new IP every gen.

Santa Monica Studios is probably on a sci-fi game.

Naughty Dog already made another new IP THIS gen, though, so clearly 'traditions' don't mean anything.
No surprises here. I'm nervous about TLoU 2 because the first game as a single statement was perfect.
But knowing ND I'm sure they will do something we don't see coming and it will be equally great.

Neil has said that once they're all back from vacation they'll start trying to come up with ideas for the sequel and if they can't at the time then they'll move on to something else. So they aren't going to force it.

I don't get everyone saying that they want to see a new IP when we literally got a new IP out of them one month ago.
That's your new IP! It already exists!

& again there are not 2 teams in ND, the same ND has explained this thing tons of times.

Poor choice of typeface = fake. You don't even have to look for any other evidence.
What's a good way to show off the power of your new console?
Have your flagship developer create a game with insane water physics and visuals.

They absolutely should make a new IP.
It could be bigger and better than a Uncharted 4 could ever be, seriously.
I don't think you can get anything more out of the Uncharted franchise at this point. Uncharted 2 was the zenith in terms of critical acclaim and U3 represents the maximum sales level for the game.
