Naughty Dog: We will make 1 or 2 more games for the PS4

Naughty Dog community strategist Arne Meyer: "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 [their next game] should be in this console generation for sure.

"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 in a console generation and do well, right?"

Well? The Last of Us 2? Jak 4 (fina-fucking-lly?) Another Uncharted? Something new?

I'd prefer a completely new game, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be TLoU.

Savage Starlight and The Last of Us 2.

Something new, please don't ever go back to Jak. Realistically The Last of Us doesn't need a sequel either, should leave that as a one off, even if they would go the anthology series route.

This has already been posted.

So with two teams they can only release two games in a generation? bit odd last time they released 4 major titles and didn't have two teams for the duration of the generation.

It would actually be depressing to see Naughty Dog go from creating 2 new IP's last gen to just making sequals this gen, so yeah I agree.

Last of Us 2 PS5 launch title here we come. Greatness awaits.

Difference is, last gen they didn't have established successful IPs. This gen, with Uncharted and TLOU, they do.

I mean, I really hope they DO make new IPs, but I'm pretty sure they're gonna make a sequel to TLoU first, at the very least. And let's be honest, they aren't going to be finished with Uncharted anytime soon, no matter what they've been saying.

Jak and Daxter.

This will make me like Naughty Dog a lot.

as good as TLOU was I don't want a sequel. I wish they made another series similar to Uncharted when it comes to the humor and colorful graphics, we really need more of that in the industry, but Amy's not there anymore and Druckmann and Straley only seem to care about dark and tragic stories.

I would be surprised if they produced even a single game.

I have a feeling this is going to be a short console cycle, I think with the NX coming people will be itching for more capable hardware. Even another two games taking at least two years a piece is still 2019, something tells me they can pull off one game for sure but two might be climbing into next gen and surely they'll need them working on a launch killer app, surely Sony can't afford for a next gen Naughty Dog game to be postponed until 2021.

Last of Us 2 please.

Watch them trick us all and do a Remaster. Jak Remaster for PS4. We told yall we had another game coming.

I read a article about how they wanted to make a new game. If I remember correctly a space game was in the talks lol.

I c what you did thar

Expecting the same from most if not all of WWS, that's a damn lot of games.

I suspect we'll get TLoU 2 first then a new IP. Jak would be more of a possibility hitting the PS5 i think.

I know people would want a new Jak but ND know it's best to debut a new franchise when the size of the user base is at it's peak to give it the best chance of taking off. TLoU picked up a lot more hype and sales than the first Uncharted which debuted nearer launch.

Last of Us 2 and something new, never go back to Jak. The only good one was the first.

Here's my original take on this information since no one addressed it.

First of all, this is just the Naughty Dog Community Strategist. He does social media, posts on the PS Blog, analyzing metrics, twitter, and manages the community. He's not a top rung Naughty Dog employee (like Wells or Balestra). His statements seem vague and odd considering his position.

Naughty Dog community strategist Arne Meyer said:

"...but we have at least one, maybe two games left in the console generation,

maybe more."

Furthermore, he said "maybe more" at the end. The title doesn't give that indication, but he did directly say one, two, or maybe more games.

So the community employee did say at "least one maybe two games", but also "maybe more [games]". However, he could have said 9 games or 0 games because he isn't on the ground floor designing their games. He posts on the PS Blog, handhelds Social media, etc. It's true that as an employee, he has some access to information, but the problem is his lower position at ND. This would be more worrying if it was a quote directly from Co-Presidents of ND Evan Wells and Christophe Balestra who also do many interviews and are also quite quotable.

The community strategist is certainly quotable, and he's a ND employee, but he's not someone I would seek for answers on ND's development plan. Personally, I think this community manager spoke out of turn and knowing Naughty Dog since the 1990's, the fact they would like to use their new Uncharted 4 engine a few times before doing the laborious process of moving to next gen, and Sony's own success with the PS4 (which means they would rather a longer gen than a shorter gen), I certainly expect ND's to do what they've always done and deliver 4 games per platform. Whether or not TLOUr counts is really on ND, but that means we still have two-three games at least after Uncharted 4. My perspective on this would change if the Co-Presidents of ND or some other Sony exec or higher ups said otherwise. It's the marketing/PR/community people that know less, but it's their job to handle the media circus.

Of course, I'm not dismissive of what the community strategist said (although he did indicate 1-2-or more), but rather skeptical on much ND actually tells him and what a community employees allowed to even know about ND's long-term game development plans.

That's because this generation will be much shorter than last generation.

I hope it's a new game that doesn't involve generic looking characters...oh wait, it's Naughty Dog...nvm.

There will be UC4 and TLOU2, that's it. The sooner this gen is over the better.

I didn't like Uncharted and The Last of Us doesn't interest me but I'm not anti-Naughty Dog so I'm hoping it's something new.

As much as I would like to suggest this, I think the game wrapped up well already with Jak 3.

I don't really think there should be anymore because of that. I mean it'd be cool but something tells me they're going to screw it up somehow.

I'd replay those game if I could. Jak and then Ratchet and Clank. Special games. All of them.

I guess you're right. They might screw up. But I can't help but want more of Jak.

They will make another TLoU.

Oh yes, they will.

For a second there, I thought ND was going the Bungie route. I want to break free.

The Last of Us was amazing. IMO, TLOU is one of those games that don't need sequels TBH. But it's given that TLOU 2 will happen because of the success of the original, and it'll be interesting to see, where they go next with the series. Will they continue current story, or bring some new characters? It is also possible that it'll be story set during different time period and features new threat.
