Since they're finishing off their last new IP for the PS3, NaughtyDog are now hiring people for their next gen title. Maybe it could be the successor to the highly acclaimed Uncharted series or a next gen IP perhaps?

Didn't they say recently that they have two teams currently working at ND? That could mean a third IP...

Here it is:

Naughty Dog is a two-team studio now, which means that work on another game—either the next Uncharted or something new altogether—could well be underway, possibly for Sony's upcoming console.

Nice find, third IP or not we shall get our answers from NaughtyDog's Co-President Evan Wells and that French guy or maybe from the foul mouth Sony executives!

Hopefully a next Gen Uncharted is in the works. Here's some more rumours:

Uncharted 4 Confirmed?

We know Uncharted 4 is already under development for PS4, but did Graham McTavish (Charlie Cutter/Zoran Lazarevic) just confirmed the game’s existence?

It was some of his tweets that sent the internet a bit wild yesterday, when he said:

For Gamers…Just back from 1st day on a new project. Very hush-hush, but I think it’s going to be rather good…..

@akashpunkfanno1: @grahammctavish When is Charlie Cutter coming back sir? #Supportinyaalways“ #Unchartedfans, I will keep you posted!….

Uncharted Franchise is Not Just a Trilogy:

"Every single episode is a standalone adventure. We [feel] like we can keep putting him in these scenarios that are self-contained that anyone can pick up and play, but if you have played them and know the characters and storylines it can be an even more rewarding experience. I don’t see why we wouldn’t keep going and making more of those adventures as long we’ve got the ideas" Evan Wells, Co-President of NaughtyDog.

Random concept for Uncharted_[4]:

:) easter eggs always welcome!

The Atlantis idea of course looks at the question of which predominant environment will they do next? Having gone from Jungle, to snowy mountains and then desert, I suppose under the sea is the last real option available.

This raises the next question in connection with that hint at further possible episodes - what could come next after 4 in terms of environment? Urban, polar...space? Plenty of Nazis there, apparently :sly:

Now I'm just being silly, so I shall stop.
 
Uncharted 4? Or something new from NaughtyDog?



Let the speculation begin. :)
​
 
I'm thinking it's skins for Last of Us multiplayer but not ruling out the possibility of it being ND's next title !
 
It also implies that's when the plague might hit - though they do seem to enjoy parking 'fun' teasers in their games (well, one really - U3) as the snippet suggested.
 
Agreed^

I would love them to make a new Jak and Dexter. The recent one made by High Impact Games sucked.

I don't know about ya'll but I would like to see a new Crash Bandicoot game from them again. ;)

I would but they don't own the franchise anymore unfortunately, Activision do. They haven't developed a Crash game since 1999 so I think they've well and truly moved on.
 
Probably. As long as it evolves as it did with the second and third game I'd absolutely like to see another one.

am I only one who dosent want to see another Uncharted?

I'm less excited about the thought of another Uncharted than I would be about them doing something totally new, but every Uncharted seems to improve a little and they've all been very enjoyable to play.

In fact, after playing the new Tomb Raider (which I thought was very decent) I was struck by just how excellent the Uncharteds are as games.

I would happily play another Uncharted. If that's what they need to do to bring in money so that they can afford to keep doing cool new things (which is probably what they're thinking) I'm all for it.
 
I'm all for another Uncharted, and I am in what seems to be the majority of people who determine U3 to not be as amazing as U2.

Uncharted 4 would be a great launch-window title for PS4 but I don't want the series to grow stale and become too iterative, I don't want this franchise to turn into God of War (Santa Monica scraped too close to the bottom of the barrel with GoW Ascenion).

Now a new ip I would also be excited for. ND is a very talented studio and I am sure they can come up with something awesome for us to play next gen :) .
 
If they do go for something new I hope it's totally new. I'm not claiming that The Last Of Us is just Uncharted with a new skin because clearly it isn't but you can't deny many elements are extremely similar.

I don't really know what I'd like to see but something totally different, in the same way after Crash and Jak which were again slightly similar, Uncharted was totally fresh.

Maybe. ;)

If they're going to develop another Uncharted game for the PS4, then it would take at least 2-3 years to make. If not then an all new IP, starting from scratch, will take more time to develop.
 


As of 2013, Naughty Dog's Uncharted 3 development team has been coordinating production on a fourth installment of the Uncharted franchise as confirmed by liable Sony executive HipHopGamer. The game is penned for a reveal at the 2013 Spike Video Game Awards ceremony alongside an established demo presenting the game. Aside from Sony's word into this, Naughty Dog are assumed to be keeping quiet in preparation for the reveal.

True or hoax? You decide... ;)
 
I was just recently thinking about what some of PS4's 20 first year exclusives will be. I am thinking this is pretty legit, I have a feeling ND will come out at the VGA's with a new Uncharted game, just like in 2010.
 
The First of Us

Let's play Adam and Eva or whatever...
Although that would be quite religious stuff then.


EDIT: Or monkeys, monkeys are always good.

EDIT2: Or protozoons...
 
If there is going to be another Uncharted, I hope we can play as a villain.

Then again Drake was plundering treasure for personal greed more or less in the first two games.
 
As I mentioned in the U3 thread, what with the teaser for TLoU in U3 the timeframe puts any future Drake story dangerously close to the actual epidemic outbreak.

Mind you, if that was kicking-off whilst he was off on another plunder quest, it could make for an interesting crossover.
 
Uhhh. Uncharted 3 was a horrible mess that deserved to be burned. Really hope they are done with the franchise. U1 and 2 were great, so just leave it. Get working on some more The Last of Us instead!
 
I agree that Uncharted 3 MP was just a horrible mess but the SP was still as good as ever. I would love to see a return of Uncharted so long as they fix the MP.
