NaughtyDog is already hard at work on their next game, according to a job posting, describing a "third person action game" (as if we really cant figure out its Uncharted 4 :roll: )

http://playstationlifestyle.net/2011/11/04/naughty-dog-hiring-for-third-person-action-game/

EDIT:

Naughty Dog may have told gamers that they weren't sure what they'd do now that the Uncharted trilogy has come to an end, but a recent job listing suggests that the renowned developer is already hard at work on their next game.

Posted today on LinkedIn, the new job listing for a Game Designer explains what the position will entail:

"Responsible for designing and producing engaging and fun third-person action gameplay and levels"

Candidates also need to have "experience playing 3rd person action games".

"Additionally, it's clear the listing isn't simply for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception DLC, as the designer will be working on singleplayer levels, and Naughty Dog have specifically announced that there won't be singleplayer DLC:"

Responsible for the planning, levellayout, setup and tuning of single-player levels, from high concept to object placement and scripting

The fact that it specifies "third-person action" could mean a new Uncharted, a new IP, or even possibly a new Jak & Daxter. However, exactly 465 days ago, Naughty Dog had a job listing for a game with "fun third-person action gameplay", and we all know how that turned out, so that does seem to suggest the game could be Uncharted 4.

As one, if not the, best third-person action developers, it's great to hear that Naughty Dog won't abandon the game, but it is a shame that there probably won't be an Uncharted racing game.

What would you like to see from ND? And do you want their game to be on PS3 or PS4? Let us know in the comments below.

Its most likely going to be a PS4 game IMO. Uncharted 3 was epic, but it felt so noticably unfinished, as if they pulled some of the budget from the game. It also struck me as odd that NaughtyDog has like 290 employees, yet only 90 people worked on Uncharted 3.

I am 100% convinced that ND has been working on Uncharted 4 for the next Playstation console (PS4) for some time now, and they pulled funding from Uncharted 3 to put towards Uncharted 4 (and that makes sense because the title would be more important to the launch of the next platform). I am also convinced that some of the Naughtydog staff was working with other developers on other Sony exclusive games that came out this year (Killzone 3 and Infamous 2).

Either way, I will be buying it.:D

Isn't Jak a third person action game? That doesn't really define it being uncharted because that is a pretty large amount of game that could be made.

As much as I want another Jak game, I also want another Uncharted game. I hope its Uncharted 4, and next gen they start on something new.

Awesome news but seriously did anyone NOT expect this to happen? When a Halo game is released, a new Halo starts getting made...When a CoD gets released, a new CoD starts getting made...when Gears is released, a new Gears starts getting made...when GTA is released, a new GTA starts getting made...its the natural cycle of successful franchise videogames and a great thing if you are a gamer.

the point is that they have most likely been working on a PS4 Uncharted 4 all along. NaughtyDog recently said that 90 people worked on Uncharted 3, yet Naughty Dog has well over 200 employees (im pretty sure they have 290, or 190, whatever the number is, its a helluvalot more than 90 people). That struck me as odd the second I heard it. (not really, because I knew this was exactly what they were doing)

.... Anyways, I hope Naughty Dog doesn't rush out UC4 this time, UC3 was full of glitches, lip synching problems, and other crap that should never have been in the game.

Its a business man. When you have a franchise that nets you millions and is an overwhelming success, the LAST thing you do is go in another direction. Good thing you have no hand in what Naughty Dog does lol.

They know they failed with Uncharted 3 so they wanna try again as soon as possible. 93 meta score is great and all, but in the back of their heads they're like, "Damn, we thought we made a better game than that!"

Hopefully next time they bring something truly innovative Uncharted 4's campaign, instead of a just new melee moves and bigger, predictable set pieces. The MP is the biggest addition to the game in Uncharted 3. They are a VERY creative studio and it shows with Uncharted 3's multiplayer. It doesn't show with the campaign though :(.

Uncharted 3 has a 'been there, done that' vibe, even if the game is totally fun and super high quality :/.

My dad knows the developer at Uncharted Studios and he said they already made the videos of the actors and are putting controls onto them as we speak. He also said they brought the real Crash Bandicoot to supervise the story. :lol: I love those made up stories.

Halo is as much of video game art as the Ico series, IMO. What's up with Ico fans thinking that ICO is the only true "art" anyways :lol:. I think all games are art in ways :). I mean come on, you have artists draw the concepts, then 3D artists create them. Animators put them together. Then story board artists come into play. When it comes together it all can be considered virtual, interactive art. Putting games together isn't as simple as some may think, and the end product can be considered a work of art. But know that not all art is profound and meaningful ;). It's in the eye of the beholder.

As long as it's fitting to make another UC title, do it. But if you're doing it to simply cash-in on a franchise name, it's time to move on. You have to always bear in mind the integrity of your creative works before you pursue them. If there are stories and gameplay experiences worth telling and implementing, then let's give UC another go. If not, let it rest until you feel confident you're ready to return.

Yes I understand why they're making UC4, I'm not stupid. If were to run ND(or Sony) I'd do the same. But I don't work at ND so I don't care.

I honestly hope they continue the series through the next generation but seeing as how lots of fans seem to already be growing weary of the franchise, I'm a ibt pessimistic. Easily one of my favorite series. I hold nothing but love for the third even though I felt it was worse off than its predecessors in a few key areas, there are other aspects I felt it nailed even better.

I don't call them talentless hacks because I don't like Uncharted. I call them talentless hacks because they created and incredibly generic franchise that gets praise for blatantly stealing from film.

If the game was a broken mess you might have something there. The fact they take insperation from indiana jones doesint make them talentless.
