I'm just so sick of sci-fi settings already. This generation seems to be the decade of boring, empty games about spaceships and I haven't felt enthusiastic about anything that's been revealed in that genre so far.
I am personally seriously considering wait for previews/reviews for Part III in terms of contents in/outside of single-player. 🙄🤷
Lengthy emotional heavy game with just traditional single-player from beginning to the end like Part II that's already dragged in some parts (in my opinion) are not my priority anymore, considering not much variety in the endgame between stealth/aggressive gameplay again & again.
Since probably it won't have any multiplayer (again) as the next standalone multiplayer still being prepared because of the reassessment, I am hoping for more content varieties.
I am sure top studio like Naughty Dog could think of some fun activities they could create for Part III aside of main story such as, maybe, fighting hordes of mushroom zombies solo/co-op with high score leaderboards or horse racing or shooting range or poker/cards or anything. 🙄🤷🙏

like nails on a chalk board.
at least you didn't start a thread with it.
Barring a random State of Play popping up, the next event to keep an eye on should be the Destiny 2 Showcase on August 22nd. With The Final Shape being the end of the light/dark saga it could be quite exciting indeed.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see a random State of Play pop up sometime this month. It's spaced far enough away from the May Showcase. If we are getting a second Showcase this year then it'd also be spaced far enough away from that.

Not even Starfield??? lol
Honestly, I think it's just about execution. You can be as imaginative as you want in any setting. Like One Piece is supposed to be Earth right? But you have entire kingdoms of tiny fairies, sky islands, candy lands, and all types of crazy stuff.
If you can't be imaginative in space, then it's not going to be a good game lol.
I think one thing that holds the setting from being more unique is the idea of humanity's future in space is a foregone conclusion. Writers tend to apply today's problems in a projected future setting. The more we learn about space and the universe, the more endless and unapproachable it feels IMO. Earth has so much canvas for storytelling as is, and we just go from planet to planet like everything revolves around human conflict, so that's all you find a gazillion miles into space.
Getting an August/September State of Play wouldn't be surprising to me. Have another big marketing blitz for Spider-Man in September and give more details on Helldivers 2 (I assume this will release after SM2). I will definitely sleep on the Destiny 2 Showcase lol. Have no interest in the lore of that IP.
Nonono, you mean a September Showcase 😉
#TeamSecondShowcase2023!
Ahh, there we go! State of Play incoming! 😄
Excited for it despite the state Destiny 2 is currently in. Big moment in time for the game
Sci-fi is shlock too, only you're stuck with shitty third or first person shooter mechanics forever. I'm so done with games where all I do is walk around shooting people in the head.
I'm a sci-fi nerd so I'll take the oversaturation of sci-fi games any day.
Play Sniper Elite 5. I usually run around trying to shoot people in the testicles 😁
Talking of ND releases, what do you think happened to the rumoured Part II Director's Cut? Did it ever really exist or are they waiting to coincide with whenever they release the MP, or maybe even the eventual PC release?
Cory. In addition to shipping a game earlier, he hasn't also been involved in writing/producing a TV series.
Most sci-fi in games is kinda lame and samey. I feel like fantasy has a much more wide berth of expression going on at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I love both genres, but to me sci-fi is much more memorable in literature.
I never played a game that evoked the works of Tchaikovsky, Iain Banks, Ann Leckie or Yoon Ha Lee.

It'll happen, the only question is "when".
Pretty much. Basically all video game sci-fi just looks the same. None of it is anywhere near as abstract or as genre-bending as the best sci-fi books tend to be. Basically all of it is just "we really like Aliens" or "we really like Star Trek".
Cory's game will be revealed first next year and Neil will be announce in 2025 with a release date in 2026.
Depends on what kind of 'Remake' it'll have, if it's exist someday.
If it's a full fledged like VII Remake/RE4 2023 for example, then I all up for it.
If it's just like Part I...
I'll save my money & my YouTube at 4K 60fps is ready.
Tom Henderson originally mentioned hearing about it early last year. More recently he noted he hasn't heard anything about it lately. That doesn't necessarily mean it won't happen though. TLOU Part 2 doesn't have a PC release as of yet and it's HIGHLY probable that ND will release that closer to the second season of the HBO show, just like they did with Part 1. If there's a PC version, that means there will be an enhanced PS5 version too. Whether they call it a remaster/remake/directors cut though, is anyones guess.
My dream would be Cyberpunk setting. I still think ND would kill it.
Something like Cawboy Bebop would be awesome. Or Treasure Planet
I was tempted by early access a lot of times but decided to hold out.
Treasure Planet desperately needs to be translated into a big budget modern triple-A game.
None but seriously Awakening. A game could net get more dead than Wild.
Does he ever finishs a cigar?haha
Seems eh just lights it up and crushs it 10 secs later
Very done with open world.
But I want ND to move on from UC and TLOU.
What would be your dream game in that regard? In terms of setting and gameplay?
Probably in the minority but I kind of don't want another Uncharted or TLOU. Would love something else from ND. I still think they'd be excellent at Survival Horror. A heavy narrative focused survival horror game would be a dream
ND actually could make a killer horror game ngl. They flirted with horror in the TLOU series but it's mostly an apocalyptic survival action game with horror elements to it.

I think this is relevant to the discussion.
Full production for most games is around 2 years.
Naughty Dog can probably reasonably have three teams dedicated to pre production, and have a more steady release cycle going forward.
And Cory's game very well be done sooner than we think.
Yeah I'm pretty confident Cory's game is a 2025 release at the latest with the ND new IP in 2026.
