New ip or a remastered remake? But I’m all seriousness they had bluepoint at one point working on it, they’re a support studio, as are other studios they just bought, why not hand it to them to get a feel for the engine, have nd continue on the mp side until said support studio catches up with knowledge and let them carry the mp side so nd can move on to work on tlou 3 and it’s
And there's almost zero negativity from the gaming media regarding this.... wonder how it would look like if it was an Xbox exclusive...
Naughty Dog potentially skipping the PS5 gen entirely in terms of releasing a new game and not a bad word said.
Remains to be seen, remember also they just released a new game at the end of PS4 life in 2020 too. Feels like a long time ago because of COVID but it's really just 3 years ago and there is still at least another 4-5 years of PS5 gen left. A new IP could very well be released in this time period. Maybe 2025-2026.
Which is still within the normal 4-6 years for a new development of a new IP.
Since TLOU 2 launched mid year 2020. So wouldn't be surprised if we don't get anything until 2026 summer. Having said that last gen we got Uncharted 4 3 years after PS4 launch and TLOU 2 7 years after. So we should be due for something soon hopefully.
Halo Infinite launches with some features delayed and it’s literally years of badmouthing the game, but ND completely cancelling Factions and failing outright is just good news. Incredible.
And then they go and buy Bungie to have them and Sony lead to its cancelation? Why not just release the current build, this could’ve been their big reason for releasing it in a game preview, gauge the players and see if they fork over 20 bucks to play it early and then charge full price upon release, maybe they called it if the ps5 is a reality, maybe they didn’t want to do so much work and extend its development further than this run on sentence, no?
Kinda sucks from a dev side, all those assets going unused and never seen.
But I guess one reason as to it’s cancellation may be that fans were expecting it to be free and to survive they’d have to charge more and likely piss off
They got too ambitious. Ongoing support would require the whole studio and that isn't something they sound like they want to do.
Maybe, but why not go to papa Sony/Ryan and ask for help from one of their many newly bought support studios?
That's a question for Neil but it just sounds like the game would require too many resources so just decided to end it early.
I could understand if it was pulling them away or thinning themselves out with another project or more along side, but that could just be bad management. Is Neil now the studio head, like operations and such, thought he was just their showrunner/writer/pr or is he the producer? If he’s the latter then it’d make sense. And Sony bought all those studios to help, they even opened up a second dedicated support studio to aid their studios. The primary one is in Santa Monica, I think it’s even in the same building. Just not the same wing, I think.
Like I’m sure it was in preproduction along with sp for tlou 2 and not tlou p2.
Maybe they were spread thin working on three platforms and possibly two more, but there’s also the chance that there were issues with making each engine compatible, and having to make assets for each variant.
He's co president and head of creative.
I think it's spreading themselves too thin as they are also working on new IP/SP game that is unannounced and also TLOU 3.
Finding hard to believe that he wouldn't know that the factions game would need too many ongoing staff on it as a live service game but idk how their operations work.
Also amazing how every thread turns into Xbox fans whining about how unfair their plastic is treated.
Oh yeah forgot you never have a bad thing to say about Sony and their fanboy trolls. Only time you come out the shadows is to take a jab at the XB side and those that prefer it.
Seriously though we got a big % of the PS fanboys, people and content creators across social media, plus a big % of the gaming media pushing constant negativity towards MS/XB for some strange reason. If you can’t see that then you’re either a PS fanboy or just blind. It is there and I wonder why people gotta constantly defend on that side… don’t worry though the Console Warz is over Sony won and MS is going third party… haven’t you heard!?
I am sure there are and yet instead of hearing about real bias we end up seeing tweets from fanboys that ends up being nonsense. Not everything is an "xbox tax".
Keep sticking your head in the sand Yanks, got anything to say about the Sony side and their fanboys the constantly ruin this place. Didn’t think so…
