You realize this was in reference to Donald Trump winning the Election, right?
I know about the canceled Jak game and if you ask me, they took the right call.
I asked already, but are we sure they're not renewing the trademark for Syphon Filter so it didn't expire?
I think he's saying it's interesting that he's pinned it. I don't know if he pinned it recently or if it's been pinned since last year or due to an event that happened this year, though. And without knowing that, then I think people shouldn't get their hopes up (the story of GAF/people who left GAF =P).

Well. I think Jak An Daxter isn't dead yet (and shouldn't be) whether by a reboot or a sequel (a sequel is better) that is why they nevr gave up on the IP and never sold it. It may come one day.
It was the night of the election. It's been pinned since the election as well.
ND's next IP will probably be something nobody saw coming. Hell, TLoU surprised the hell outta me when it was announced.
Whatever it is, it should be glorious on PS5 :D

thats why you think a new one is being made right now? because they never got rid of the IP?
that means nothing dude, they never sell any of their properties, they own more than a couple hundreds of videogame IP's
It was also election night, so this could be nothing. The studio has been very vocal about their views in the past.
Naughty Dog said a while ago they will start doing on multiple games and not just one, plus the re-release of Jak And Daxter (and the enire franchise for a later date) as PS2 Classics on PS4 and even its offering it with Uncharted:TLL pre-order isn't innocent. If the series is dead and buried this would have never happened. The series was frozen for a long time and not dead, so it is time to revive it. And I see no reason for many to get offended if this flagship series comes back. People asked for the return for long time dead very limited series and they got what they wanted and they still ask for others.
it originated from 4chan. not comfortable posting links to that site. if you google it, you will find the source.
Hello there. It seems you aren't aware that since the start of last-gen ND had 2 teams, the ones who did Uncharted 1 were in charge of making Uncharted 3 and those who were in charge of making Uncharted 2 did TLOU. Since then ND grew even bigger and there may be even a possibility that a smaller 3rd team could be doing R&D for techs and upcoming projects till a bigger team gets in charge of the project.
Yeah... No. They tried the two full teams approach, and it didn't work. The entire studio worked on Uncharted 4, moved on the LL while a smaller team kickstarted TLOU:II, and now the entire studio is on TLOU:II. At best, the LL leads are now working on the new IP.
Still this new IP could be anything from Savage Starlight to Jak & Daxter to an entirely new IP.
Sure. You've been championing this "Jak" thing for quite a while, so I'm not gonna try and dissuade you from it. At the very least, whatever they're doing next is truly still in its infancy.
lol They are not going to make another Jak. Sony devs move on to greater and bigger things. They cant be making kiddie games all their lives. No, that fate is reserved for Nintendo devs lol. jk dont kill me
And people almost died for a Crash Bandicoot game (that is not neither a Sony nor a ND IP anymore). -_- ...
So according to you Ratchet And Clank is a useless game on PS4 then.
I know it's a joke.
.
Yeah. I don't see it either. Crash was way more popular, and the best we got was a remake made by some AA studio. To then think Sony's gonna put their premiere studio to the task of making a 4th entry into the Jak and Daxter franchise? Completely unthinkable, if not patently ridiculous, if you ask me. Besides, why would they go from "exploring the merits of storytelling in video games" to retreading old ground? It's just not what they do. The people who care about whatever Jak and Daxter represented aren't even there anymore, for the most part.
I don't even get why you'd want it to begin with. There's nothing worth going back for. Anything you'd want to achieve you could do far better in a new IP.

lol, no one is offended by that, Im sure most like Jak & Daxter in some capacity (I do). Is just that you said you were pretty sure ND was making the game alongside TLoU Pt II and no one agrees for various reasons (one of them being that they don't have two full teams at ND like they wanted in the past, something they said multiple times), thats all.
And no series is ever dead and buried, we have heard that multiple times from SIE execs, but that doesn't mean they all have factual shots of coming back as well. They released stuff like Okage, War Of Monsters and Kinectica on the PS2 classics, they put Primal on that catalog, and a year later they closed the studio who developed that game. These things dont mean much I think
And comparing Jak & Daxter to Ratchet & Clank doesnt make much sense either. R&C is the biggest hit series Insomniac has made still, J&D is on the bottom of that scale for Naughty Dog, and a kind of game they havent been making for over 10 years already.
Jak & Daxter coming back? Sure. ND making one at the moment? No way
Let's just say I hope you're not waiting with bated breath :p
I hope you get what you want man. We all have dream game announcements.
If they do bring it back I don't think ND will do it. Or for you does ND have to do it?
I was more of a ratchet fan myself.
You know what I would do for a Demons remaster? You don't wanna know.
Edit: the hell did I quote myself for? Sigh..
Well I won't like a remaster a or remake like Crash. I would like a real game, the real deal. If you understand what I mean.
But I still think Jak & Daxter won't be the same with the departure of Jason Rubin. If he stayed at ND, he would have fought for the franchise to come back a long time ago.
I was wondering the same too. XD
Lmao, Neil wouldn't touch that game with your hands. I would let some fresh blood take a stab at it.. you never know
Thanks, I did see that it's pretty old, but did not make the connection.
I'm not tired of Uncharted either, I really enjoyed Lost Legacy so I'd love to see more in the future. I'd still like to see a game with a younger Sully as the lead, maybe before he meets Drake. Or, even another game with Chloe and Nadine since their relationship in TLL was one of my favorite parts of it.
Can you imagine Syphon Filter like splinter cell, but with THE taser? Tasering in VR?

I'd rather see Naughty Dog build it's stable of ip's than returning to fairly recent ones. It makes them seem more accomplished and varied while players also have the opportunity to play a vast array of games. It also serves to have different people within ND contributing in creative ways they otherwise wouldn't have. Let Uncharted sleep for sometime, and revisit it sometime in the future but push for more ideas and hand off J&D to another studio, my vote being Blue Point...Shadow of the Colossus looks unbelievably good.
They really would. There are a ton of studios that work well with Sony. Insomniac, Quantic Dreams, Housemarque.
Sony missed buying From Software a couple years ago, Atlus too. Not sure if they are in for acquisitions though.
Bluepoint would work great because they could also keep them remaking classics forever.

They would.
Even though Sony are throwing these guys a lot of work; they couldn't do the odd MGS collection or Titanfall. And it's possibly scary to them, being tied down.
For sure. But if Insomniac(I know they've rejected it in the past) or a Quantic Dream would come up as possibly acquistions. I think they would be nice additions to what they already got.

Did you know that the Guys from Sucker Punch moved into a new Studio? Atleast thats what they say on their Homepage
Great tech team != R&D. London Studio have had their hands in a ton of stuff Sony's done over the years, particularly PSVR right now.
As for the other stuff, I'll answer it below.
See, I don't have a problem with them pursuing GaaS, in fact, I hope they do. Sony's published a number of great games over the years that'd be perfect for the GaaS treatment. Gran Turismo (which they're obviously pursuing, though they maybe went too deep on GaaS and left behind a lot of their single player fans), LBP, Warhawk, SOCOM 2, Killzone 2, TLOU MP, Uncharted 2 MP, Wipeout and so on.
What I object to is the idea they'll invest less into single player games next gen and that Kodera is somehow going to force them to move to GaaS. First off, Sony's meant to be a pretty hands-off publisher and I find the idea of Kodera suddenly changing that pretty doubtful. Second, it's not like they're going to cancel or meddle with studios/series that are doing well, they might introduce some GaaS stuff into some of those games but it's not like they're going to force Guerrilla to turn Horizon into a mindless co-op game like Ghost Recon Wildlands or whatever.
Key part: "A while ago." Things change. Just a few months ago Naughty Dog were saying they'd given up on having multiple teams and were happy with their current 1.5 teams structure, with one game in full production and one game in pre-production at a time.
Yeah, this is my understanding I got from a interview with ND on YouTube .
They have one smaller team developing the next idea / game (so now new IP perhaps ) and the bulk on current game LOU2. Said they couldn't recruit enough staff for two teams working on 2 games simultaneously.
I think the earliest we'll hear about one is late 2018. I'll be surprised if it happens before that.
It's fun to have have dream about our favorite IP to make a return, but I'm pretty sure ND won't come back to the Jak series. This isn't the same ND that created Crash and Jak. Now, they want to make a more mature, grounded and realistic game which Jak doesn't fit. As for Insomniac, the team responsible for R&C is still there, so of course they will have no trouble making more R&C. Here is the quote from Josh Sherr ( the guy who made TLL): ''No, I don't, because we've got an amazing team of people making some really expressive performances with our current stable of realistic characters. I mean, animating the stylised stuff is a lot of fun, but the stories that we're trying to tell right now are a little bit more grounded and a little bit more grown up than they were back in the Jak and Daxter days.''

I think we might see R&C at E3 depending on when Spider-Man releases but I'd bet PSX next year.
