Uncharted dev not making game set in space

Naughty Dog copresident says company's recent tour of SpaceX has no relation to future game.

Uncharted and The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog is not working on a game that takes place in space, copresident Christophe Balestra has confirmed, after the studio received a tour of Elon Musk's aerospace company SpaceX.

"Visiting SpaceX... and no we're not making a game that takes place in space! We just got invited because we're cool!" Balestra said on Twitter.

Naughty Dog--which is staffed by around 200 people and split into multiple teams--is currently working on an unannounced PlayStation 4 game. The studio's most recent project was June's postapocalyptic action game The Last of Us for the PlayStation 3.

GameStop Germany recently posted a product listing for a PS4 Uncharted game.

No, they may not be, but they should; that'd be awesome. I honestly can't get enough of sci-fi games, well, as long as they're great. A new Uncharted or The Last of Us will come, and that'd be nice too.

Man, these people hating on ND and their games are just like my brother...he only likes military shooters ('MERICA!) and hates REAL games.

I wouldn't be upset with anything they come up with. I do think the Uncharted series should be done, but if they make a new one I wouldn't mind. It would be interesting if they did a new story in The Last of Us setting. They were also working on Jak 4 before it became TLOU. It was scrapped because it wasn't coming along the way they wanted it. My guess would be a new ip or Jak 4. Can't wait to see what they're up to.

Actually find this a bit of a shame. I would've liked to see what they'd have done with it.

Oh well, maybe it planted a seed of inspiration in one of their minds like Planet Earth did for Druckmann.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I was referring to the absurdity of your trolling, it was amusing at first but now I see you on almost every article rehashing the same material (then again I suppose that's a big part of trolling). Though to be honest that last sentence was pretty good, I don't know what amendment you think the game or the developers are going against, and they call it fictional because it is fictional I'm pretty sure no explore came across a city of purple people in the Himalayas; besides I've seen you cheering on COD and such on other articles and you kill way more people in those games then Uncharted.


All in all though I'm just giving you some constructive criticism, not a big fan of the whole trolling thing but you've seemed to have put a lot of work into your persona and often times your remarks are worth a chuckle, just saying you need to keep your material fresh.

I guess all the hate or lack of credit for ND is just one of those things when you're at the top it's cool to hate. They have made other games besides Uncharted and TLOU. That being said I could have gone without playing U3, I hope they let the Uncharted franchise go and make a new IP.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I really liked Drake's Deception, though admittedly I had to play through it a couple of times to really see how great it was. More accurately, I had to learn how to let go of Uncharted 2 so that I could allow Uncharted 3 to stand on its own merits. I think that's more of a failing on Naughty Dog's part though, if you can call making a game too good a failing. Going back I think they threw too much into Among Thieves and really didn't leave themselves much room to expand or impress people with another series entry. If you're going to have a series you have to be able to control the pacing of the entire set of games and that can be tough to do when you have a ton of great ideas and just really want to see them all implemented.

I'm not quite ready to let go of the series. One more game to cement the standing of the relationship of Nate and Elena and their future together would be ideal since they finally covered the subject of Nate and Sully's history.

Hopefully Naughty Dog starts making games again and not interactive movies with little to no gameplay. One can only hope.

The problem with that is Uncharted is clearly not trying to be Prince of Persia or Shadow of the Colossus. It takes it's inspiration from things like Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt novels. If it wasn't heavy on story elements, then there would be nothing holding the game together.

This is what I mean when I always say "gamers" should do more reading,or become more familiar with movies and film. As video games become more intricate, they are going to become more story driven. Yet the gamer cognoscenti seems to think "Shoot bad guy. Bad guy die. Good guy win. Jump. Duck. Roll". I know this word is the bane of a gamer's existence, but read Clive Cussler's Cyclops, Inca Gold, or even something like Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity, and you'll see many elements of Uncharted that are taken from those novels.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Journey. Maybe Retrovirus. Portal. Braid. Uncharted if it had less killin dudes and more exploring/platforming/puzzles. Shadow of the Colossus. Prince of Persia. There are plenty of games with interesting gameplay that don't require shooting every human on the planet under the guise of an adventure game.

@banana23man @Grenadeh @XBone4DaWin I'm not sure how to answer that with my library of 700+ games because frankly they all get rather boring. I just know that walking through invisible hallways, being forced to look at wonderful environments and then forbidden from exploring them, in exchange for forced gunfights with more dudes than have ever been killed in every movie combined - just to advance to the next invisible hallway - is not it.

I liked Uncharted 1, 2, 3, and I liked The Last of Us, while they lasted. The MP is fun and the single player are solid, well written stories.

The problem is, with TLOU especially, there's exponentially more movie and story than there is game. The puzzles in Uncharted are pathetic; the platforming is increasingly non-existent as the franchise goes on; and it just gets boring.

@DemocraticTroll @XBone4DaWin It wasn't. Uncharted 2 was pretty good but he's saying what I've always said - ND is not that good. It's a third person shooter, and it's not remotely that great. The games are good in of themselves but for all the hype you Sony kids create, it's absurdly unfounded.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Apart from the fact the Uncharted was the FIRST game EVER to use FULL performance capture for the actors to you know.....really act instead of the method used before, which was just to read their lines on their own in a booth. A method which is now WIDELY copied in ALL of gaming because developers want to do it the 'Naughty Dog way'

It is superbly written, well acted, graphically the best of its generation, even laugh out loud FUNNY in places, with some of the most likeable characters in ALL of gaming history.

Uncharted was the first game to ever give us cinematic set pieces that looked like cutscenes but we still controlled Nathan Drake fully, never seen before in gaming, FIRST done in Uncharted.

Like it or not the Uncharted series (especially Uncharted 2) is one of the best series ever and the only people who say it isn't are people who haven't played it or butthurt fanboys like yourself.

Almost PERFECT review scores on Metacritic is hardly hype us 'Sony kids have created.'

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> uncharted is one of the greatest series of all time and its storyline and characters are some of the best of all time and that's what makes those games so good along with the settings and atmosphere and also the epic moments and they all deserved to be so highly rated also there was more gameplay then cut scenes even tho cut scenes are one of the most important things in a game as they tell the games storyline threw cut scenes so no it is not an interactive movie since it is more gameplay focused then cut scene focused tho it is more story and cut sense focused then most games and that isn't a bad thing storyline is just as Important if not more then gameplay a game with good gameplay you are like wow that was fun but at the end of a game with an amazing storyline you are like wow holy shit that was the most amazing thrilling emotional adventures I have ever been on and I will never forget this ever plus uncharted has amazing gameplay as well as amazing storyline and great characters that you actually care about beyond two souls is an interactive movie not uncharted tho interactive movies aren't a bad thing anyway

It would be real neat if they made a game about some Moon or Mars colony. There hasn't been a decent game in that area.
