Could There Be A Last Of Us Part 3? Maybe

Could There Be A Last Of Us Part 3? Maybe

, , 8

When The Last Of Us was released in 2013 it sold millions of copies and won countless awards, but even with all that noise surrounding it, no one could really say for certain if it’d ever get a sequel. The thing about developer Naughty Dog is they don’t work that way — they don’t knee-jerk sequels into production based on sales alone. The team must come up with a satisfying idea first. Whether you were satisfied with Last Of Us Part II or not, ever since its release Naughty Dog has been getting the same question: “will there be a Part 3?” And until now, that question was met with silence. But co-director Neil Druckmann has finally dropped a hint at the end of Grounded 2: Making The Last of Us Part 2, which was released on YouTube last weekend. “The great thing about working at Naughty Dog is that we don’t have to [do it],” he said. “It’s always like, ‘we would love another Last of Us, but if

Nathan Fillion Finally Plays Uncharted’s Nathan Drake

Nathan Fillion Finally Plays Uncharted’s Nathan Drake

, , , , , , , 0

If you ask any fan of Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series which real-world actor should play the character Nathan Drake (who has been the star of every Uncharted save one), the answer you usually get is “Nathan Fillion,” and not just because they share the same first name. Drake resembles Fillion, and Fillion is good at playing scrappy rough adventuring scoundrels, even if he doesn’t get paid to play them often enough. Sony has been trying to get an Uncharted movie off the ground for several years now, but every time the project starts up, it never gets far enough for an open casting call before it collapses. Most recently, a movie prequel to the games was announced, with Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) attached as director, but nobody’s heard from that film in a while, so…assume the worst. It’s enough for fans to take matters into their own hands. That’s exactly what Canadian filmmaker Allan Ungar did — he directed his own Uncharted mini fan film, and cast Nathan Fillion as

New The Last Of Us Part II Details

New The Last Of Us Part II Details

The Last Of Us Part II is easily one of the most anticipated sequels in recent memory. The original game broke records and set standards for what games should be in many ways, and with most of the team returning for the sequel, most are expecting similar results. However, recent trailers for the game have put a much darker cloud over the game, as brutality was shown in full and it caused some to react badly. Thankfully, at the PlayStation Experience today, a panel for The Last Of Us Part II was held, and new details were revealed. For example, if you’re looking for assurances that Joel and Ellie won’t be seriously hurt, or even killed, you’re out of luck, cause writer Neil Druckmann said “no one is safe, not even [Joel and Ellie].” However, though the game will be far from lighthearted he did note that “there is hope” in the game, maybe another version of the giraffe scene? We’ll have to see. A confirmation has been made in stating that

Naughty Dog Co-Founder Talks Leaving Company

Naughty Dog Co-Founder Talks Leaving Company

If there’s one thing that always happens in the video game industry, it’s change in regards to game developers. Studios close, heads of certain divisions leave or are replaced, and new teams are brought in to bring new life to games or studios. That’s what happened to Naughty Dog last decade just before the release of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. As Naughty Dog’s founders were set to leave the company. In an interview with IGN Unfiltered, Co-Founder Jason Rubin talked about what it was like during that time of transition where he and fellow founder Andy Gavin were set to leave the company: “For two years, Andy [Gavin] and I transitioned out of Naughty Dog, knowing we were leaving after having announced we were going to leave and having chosen successors. It was very important to us that Naughty Dog survive and Naughty Dog go farther. Most people don’t realize this, but probably the year or two after Andy and I left and before Uncharted came out, that was probably the

The Last Of Us 2: Ellie’s Got A Tattoo

When you saw Naughty Dog’s first trailer for The Last Of Us 2 over the weekend, did you notice Ellie has had some ink done? The now 19-year-old protagonist sported a tattoo on her right arm as she was strumming the guitar. The tattoo was spotted by some viewers and requests were made to the studio to release the design. They did so on their Twitter account today…. Two ferns and a moth. Whether that means anything in the game remains to be revealed. But the process of how they got it on Ellie is quite unusual. Instead of simply texture-mapping it, they drew the tattoo with a Sharpie onto the arm of game designer Alexandria Neonakis, and then digitized her entire arm. “Natalie designed Ellie’s tattoo and also ended up being her hand model,” says game director Neil Druckmann. “[She] went through an intense, brand-new hand scanning process.” And this is what the tattoo looks like on Ellie. This is the first released painting of the character as seen

At the PlayStation Experience today, Sony announced a sequel to the beloved game The Last Of Us. Titled simply The Last Of Us Part 2, the game will once again feature main characters Joel and Ellie. However, they will be older than they were in the first game. Along with a reveal trailer, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann went to the PlayStation Blog to note that this game was anything but a certainty, and that it literally took years to capture a story that felt true to what they had done with the original: “I can’t tell you how satisfying it is to finally be able to say that Ellie and Joel are back for another intense, harrowing, and emotional adventure. Like many of you, we have a deep love for the world of The Last of Us and its characters, and while a sequel may have seemed like a foregone conclusion, that wasn’t the case. We knew that it needed to be a story worth telling and, perhaps more importantly,

PlayStation Europe has confirmed on Twitter that the multiplayer beta for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will start earlier tomorrow (Dec. 3). That’s a little ahead of the originally scheduled start date for the multiplayer beta of Dec. 4. The multiplayer beta will officially go online on Thursday at 1700 GMT. Unfortunately, only owners of the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection will have access to the multiplayer beta at the moment. The beta version of the game will reportedly (via Gamespot) will have two maps and only one gameplay mode. In addition, it is said to feature a slice of what what is being offered for the game. Unlike the multiplayer beta for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, the progress from the beta will not carry forward for the full game at launch. Hopefully, Sony and Naughty Dog will consider an open beta for non-owners of The Nathan Drake Collection some other time, possibly closer to the game’s release. With PlayStation Experience 2015 set for this weekend, there is sure to

According to a post by the PlayStation Blog, the 2015 PlayStation Experience will be hosting a panel for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. But that’s not all, the panel description confirmed that Laura Bailey (Avengers Assemble, Fullmetal Alchemist, Infamous Second Son) is officially part of the cast of the game (apparently doing both voice-over and motion capture work).

Naughty Dog Believes They'll Make "One or Two" More PS4 Games

If the recently console cycles have taught us anything, it’s that big budget, triple-A developers take their time to make their games, which they should in many cases. Naughty Dog is definitely one of those developers, as they want to make sure each title they release is worthy of fans. That being said, they still believe that after Uncharted 4 comes out, they’ll be making a few more games for PS4. Naughty Dog’s Arne Meyer talked with Finder and noted: “I would hope so. I would hope we would release a game pretty soon. Yeah, our development cycles aren’t too long so and I have no idea how long this console generation really is going to last, but, yeah, there’s no doubt it should be in this console generation for sure.” He added, “I mean I have no doubt – I don’t know what the timelines are – but we have at least one, maybe two games left in the console generation, maybe more. Clearly we can release a game really late

This week, Sony PlayStation Computer Entertainment and Naughty Dog finally released details and footage for the multiplayer campaign for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. You can check out the first gameplay video released for the game’s multiplayer mode, released at the Paris Games Week 2015 Sony Media Briefing, below. It seems the multiplayer mode is getting quite the overhaul for Uncharted 4. Per the PlayStation blog, multiplayer will include new elements like Sidekicks, Mysticals and of course, the grappling hook. Players can actually use the grappling hook for their attacks and to swing down upon on enemies unawares. For Sidekicks, it looks you can play in more of a support role for the group or bring in support characters. Mysticals adds some special powers players can use in the competitive matches. Like you can throw an artifact into the multiplayer map that summons a powerful idol that will kill all the enemies in the vicinity. Based on the video, it looks like the multiplayer cast will feature a nice selection

Last week the internet went into overload when a video from Naughty Dog seemed to accidentally reveal that the developer was working on The Last of Us 2, a sequel to their highly successful zombie apocalypse action-adventure game that has been available on the PlayStation 3 since 2013. Fans have been clamoring for a new title to carry on the story for some time now and with the seeming confirmation that there would be more games, they were rightfully excited. However, it seems that the sequel might not actually ever see a release. Speaking in an interview with Official PlayStation Magazine, creative director Neil Druckmann explained that a team was working on a prototype of The Last of Us 2 but that it still undecided about whether it will move into full production. “When Bruce [Straley, co-director] and I moved over to Uncharted 4, we were brainstorming ideas for The Last Of Us 2 with new characters; ideas for TLOU 2 with Joel and Ellie; ideas for a sci-fi game;
