One team on a James Bond licensed game and the other on something with a historical setting.

 

[Duxxy3]

Kart racing.

Crash Team Racing 2 would be alright in my book.

 

[EdReedFan20]

something with a historical setting.

Despite not being from Naughty Dog, we'll basically get that with The Order: 1886.

 

[Disgraced]

Football coaching sim.

 

[Beerman462]

90's cops. Co-op action game. Point Break/Bad Boys.

Seems like Rockstar's wheelhouse to me

 

[pupcoffee]

Assuming they're going to make more stuff like The Last of Us.. have no more zombie apocalypses or supernatural monsters. They are the dumbest and least original aspect of every PS3 Naughty Dog game. It panders to an audience more than anything.

Just give us realistic, tense, violent drama. We can have a touching father/surrogate daughter story without setting it in a cringe post-apocalyptic movie setting.

 

[BigDug13]

They've been doing corridor third person shooters for the past 9 years. The OP makes it seem like they've tackled more than ONE genre since the PS3 launch and that's not actually the case. Corridor 3rd person shooters for the entire last gen and they've started this gen with another corridor 3rd person shooter.

I guess I'm that one gamer that doesn't understand the love this developer has from the PS3 days. Crash Bandicoot was their glory days for me. Uncharted and TLOU does nothing for me. I've tried. I really have.

 

[SoulClap]

Dating Sim.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Would love an open world/sci fi/futuristic setting attempt from ND!

 

[jeffyjaixx]

Give me sci-fi/fantasy with RPG elements.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Rogue-like puzzle genre

 

[EdReedFan20]

Football coaching sim.

That just made me think how could a developer handle a sports drama game. Basically cinematic cutscenes and normal gameplay while not playing the sport, but then you would actually play the games (i.e. football would be like Madden (or FIFA if you live outside of the US), baseball would play like MLB: The Show, etc.) That would be interesting!

 

[Squidofman]

Nope. Good buddy cop stuff needs exactly the kind of writing ND are best at; keeping things slick, smart, funny and fast-paced.

 

[Mysterious]

Do sci-fi/space adventure and use the Metroid universe.
Do high fantasy and use the Zelda universe.


Can you even imagine? Holy crap. Please based Nintendo/Sony.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

James Bond, Zelda, or JRPG

 

[boclfon479]

an RPG with naughty god level story...


one can dream

 

[adj_noun]

Text adventure.

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here. To your left are like a million angry pirates.

 

[Portugeezer]

You're going to get Uncharted and TLOU sequels.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

Third-person RPG space-opera shooter and exploration shit,

 

[sn00zer]

Open level design....just widen up those corridors

 

[I-hate-u]

Fighting games.

 

[SoulClap]

Football coaching sim.

Which football are we talking about here?

 

[kyser73]

SF but in the Gravity/Moon/Europa Report 'realistic' style, rather that an epic space opera.

 

[Lingitiz]

I'd love to see them do something with an ensemble cast and more than 2 protagonists. TLOU was their half step to a two protagonist game, so I wonder if they can pull off a game based on an ensemble.

 

[adj_noun]

Which football are we talking about here?

You know. The good one.

[CambriaRising]

Give us Savage Starlight

Yes, yes, YES.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Full blown mascot platformer with bleeding edge aesthetics and presentation on PS4. Technology has changed so much since they last did them, that it'd practically be a new genre for them.

 

[Shaanyboi]

I would like to see a science fiction game from them. Like... not just Uncharted in space, or Last of Us in space or something, but I would like to see them tackle some more alien environments or some cool spaceships.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Nope. Good buddy cop stuff needs exactly the kind of writing ND are best at; keeping things slick, smart, funny and fast-paced.

I honestly think this is the best choice. It also allows for some meaty drama when needed.

 

[Bandit1]

Despite not being from Naughty Dog, we'll basically get that with The Order: 1886.

I was thinking without any supernatural elements. Something like Assassin's Creed without the Animus/first civilization. But could be the American Civil War, a western, ancient Egypt, etc.

 

[JLeack]

You're going to get Uncharted and TLOU sequels.

This. Naughty Dog doesn't take risk. It just owns and destroys action adventure on a routine basis.

 

[Castcoder]

I just want Jack 4 ;_;

But then they would have to make games called Jack 1, Jack 2, and Jack 3. Why would they do that when they have Jak?

Spoiler

Why can't people spell Jak?

They should try taking another shot at the "Noire" IP with one of their internal studios.

 

[Mentok]

Sci-fi fun!

 

[EdReedFan20]

Got ya. Hmm. What about ancient Rome/Greece?

 

[Tobor]

They should tackle whatever the fuck they want to tackle. They could make a cooking rhythm game and I'd be in day one.

 

[UnlovedJew]

An open world game or FPS would be neat to see, especially with all the little details that they stick everywhere in their games.

 

[Mortemis]

Space bounty hunters brehs. Like cowboy bebop or gotg.

Savage starlight gave me this feeling. Do it ND, do it.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Speaking of details, when I was exploring the homes during the

Spoiler

Suburbs of Pittsburgh

section of TLOU, I so deeply wanted to have the interiors of EVERY home that detailed in GTA.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Musicals, as evidenced by the live TLoU performances.

 

[casmith07]

Would like to see them do a twitch platformer or a WRPG like Dragon Age or Mass Effect.

 

[Ainsz]

not really a genre game wise, but a game with a british gangland setting ala Lock Stock or Snatch, probably a tps action game again. The beggining to UC3 was proof enugh to me that they could pull it off.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

A blade runner-esque game

e: the person who said Space Ranger/ Bounty Hunter/ GotG, YES. This needs to happen.

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

Space Opera, duh.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Musicals, as evidenced by the live TLoU performances.

I think that would be a first. Imagine if they made a game where it was entirely designed to also be performed as a stage play.

Space Opera, duh.

Savage Starlight, duh. I think they have a bit of a head start, if they went that route. They already have a basis of something.

 

[stryke]

I don't think making a platformer interests them. They've spent too much on their mo-cap technology over the years. I think for the time being, they will only be making cinematic style games. Of course, like all things, they will go out of style and Naughty Dog will need to adapt. Despite all the cinematic games that are out there or are being made, I honestly think we are still in its infancy and Naughty Dog is leading the way.

To undertake a different gaming genre might also require a large power shift in the company as it seems the major players in ND are very content to keep making character/story driven action adventure games.

But back to the original topic regarding ND doing a different thematic genre, I would actually like a scifi or cyberpunk game from them but please, I don't need another lore where there's some all powerful mystical ancient race that threatens the galaxy.

 

[demosthenes]

Give us Savage Starlight

One and done.

You're going to get Uncharted and TLOU sequels.

I think after Uncharted 4 they will go for a new IP.

edit: I'm fine with the game style they do. I like the cinematic story/character driven games. I loved all 3 Uncharted games (and the GA on Vita) and I really loved Last of Us. If they keep on doing what they're doing, great. I just hope we get a new setting / new IP / w/e.

 

[Doomshroom]

Savage starlight will be fine, ill take one.

 

[scoobs]

Space epic plzzzzz

 

[EdReedFan20]

Space epic plzzzzz

Despite not being from Naughty Dog, we might get that with Amy Hennig's Star Wars game.
