I thought LOU2 was a masterpiece. I know many hated it because their favorite character got killed in such a brutal way but for me it was a very engaging story.

The game was like watching a TV show from beginning to end. It was riveting. I was hooked the entire way through. It was a very emotional and entertaining experience.

It really sucked me right in! It was one of the most memorable gaming experiences in the last 5 years for me.

It does excite me. For us gamers, Troy is Joel from The Last of Us series and Samuel Drake from the Uncharted series. Now, is he returning to a whole new project, or is it some untold story from The Last of Us series, or is it a new Uncharted game? We fans can just speculate; only the creators have the answer.

Nowadays, creators are careful when it comes to giving clues about the next project. Well, they have to be extra cautious because the leaks from games in the last few years have definitely done damage to the projects. It's a debatable fact as to why the gaming studios do not spend a good amount of money on data-security, but it's a different debate all together.

Troy Baker, if he comes back as Joel with either a mind-blowing or mind-bending The Last of Us story, fans would be super happy. Even if he comes back as Samuel Drake in an Uncharted spin-off, fans like me (i.e., fans who like both TLOU and the Uncharted series) would be really happy.

5% of my instincts tell me that he'll be the part of a new project all together because somewhere along the line, Naughty Dog is done with both the Uncharted as well as TLOU series. Now, I could be wrong. Like I said, we fans can just speculate. It's only the creators who know the right answer.

Fingers crossed!🤞 My expectations are high because Naughty Dog has succeeded in impressing gamers with their creations so far. I always say, for me, both TLOU I and II are well-written and well-executed. I have no complaints for the Uncharted series either. Am I expecting another Uncharted game? Hell Yeah! I am.😇

I've been following the studio for over ten years and am a fan. I like the little updates that Druckmann gives us, I feel that the game will be announced during the year 2025 with a teaser or trailer and with a potential release in 2026 or 2027.

I know it's getting long and other fans of other studios will soon have fun on highly anticipated games like Rockstar fans with GTA VI. But hey don't forget Naughty Dogs! Let's encourage them and not abandon them.

I saw this image and I don't know why, a brilliant idea occurred to me that in this era where minorities are supposedly supported and inclusivity reigns, a video game would do justice to visibility to our Native Americans. If they took such a huge risk with decisions for a video game like The Las of Us and its characters, why not do the same for this project?

My mind initially goes to Cyberpunk. As it’s sci-fi esque, as their new IP was also alleged to be sci-fi. And cyberpunk is a highly regarded game with a lot of “player freedom”. But at the same time I think that phrasing used could be any wide number of games. And kind of a weird thing to take away/focus on from what the source said.

If the source said we all are not ready for amazing it’s going to be, and specifically compared it to ‘X’ game.. a lot of player freedom is the only thing you take away from that? For me that’s not the first thing that comes to mind for something like Cyberpunk.

Need to get in touch with someone at naughty dog support for their game last of us remastered (ps4) as I am unable to login into factions. It seems to be not working only for my psn ID. Have sent multiple emails but no reply yet.

I have just finished Uncharted 4 again! Played it over and over about 6 times now. One of the best game franchises ever in my opinion. Something though that is still on my mind is how long did Libertalia last as a 'pirate utopia'. I mean it must have taken decades to even build the place, the houses, the roads and everything else. How long do you think they lived in harmony before the rebellion, before the colony realised they were being ripped off. This is one question that's always been stuck in my head, just wondering if anybody knows.

Another year more asking for a remake for the Jak games :'), I don't care if they release them for PS and take one more year to release it for PC, but please....

Why not? They seem to enjoy their classics and naughty dog has abandoned it for the copy and paste of uncharted and making remasters of the last of us. I'm sure they could make a deal somehow since they did the for The Last Frontier, even though that didn't turn out how they wanted.

I'm on my first watch of the HBO series adaptation. I've played the original and part two 3-4 each, platinumed both. As I'm watching this show, I am reminded, this musical brand of the series is so dang good!

I'm interested in heading from music theory buffs or those who worked on the show or game, what is it that makes the music so special? What is the part that rugs at the heart strings? What does it evoke such a strong emotional response?
