Yes. They had 8 years since Uncharted 4 to figure out how to move on with the franchise without ND and we got nothing.

Sony does the bare minimum, if that.

Had they invested in Ready at Dawn or Crystal Dynamics they would have an extra 20m+ game coming out this gen if they had done a good job taking over.

Their remasters and remakes have solid sales figures. Until there is a solid hit financially to these lazy products, nothing will change.

They don't even compare to what a new game would make. ND can take care of Uncharted, TLoU and a new IP all on their own. Sony needed to have the foresight to prepare another team to take over. Like it happened with Daxter and GoW on PSP, that is why I mentioned Ready at Dawn.

Working on a strong established IP is a great way to give momentum to talented teams that are yet to hit big. Insomniac is a great example of that, it took them getting their hands on Spider-man for them to be seen as one of the industry leading studios.

If any of those studios could just churn out an uncharted level quality game they would have done it already.

Uncharted doesn’t need to continue on indefinitely and become stale and low quality like tomb raider

Ready ar Dawn was made up of former Naughty Dog staff, their PSP games were top notch.

They could have been so great if the Order 1886 had not flopped.

We need some way to get Sonys attention
they are going to operate the way they want to

This is not Xbox, they do not actively engage with, placate, and embolden their lunatic fans like Xbox did with the canine timothy and the feces gamer

No, pretty likely they are working on it, specially after the hit success of the movie.

The thing is that ND/Sony's woke religiion has a sexist/racists/heterophobic issue with having white male heterosexual protagonists, so weren't engaged to continue with Uncharted going forward with Nate as main character. They tried to retire him and replace him with female leads in Lost Legacy but since these characters didn't have enough charisma and was a smaller game, sales were way lower in Nate's games.

On top of this, TLOU huge success in sales/reviews/awards engaged them to focus on TLOU for a while -obviously removing its white heterosexual male protagonist.

And well, they didn't have a new IP since a lot of time ago, so pretty likely are working on a new IP.

ND moved the next Uncharted to Bend, who later prefered to make their own IP instead, which mixed with the success of the movie made ND or Sony want to make a new Uncharted inside ND, something they maybe needed to do to financially justify to allow ND grow to the point of being able to work on 3 big games at the same time while until 2019 (when branched out the TLOU2MP into a new game) were only working in 1.

I assume ND is working on an Uncharted game with the girl as main protagonist but maybe also with some appearance of Nate in a secondary role. It may be codeveloped/supported by some other team as could be Bluepoint (who made the remasters of the Nathan Drake Collection).

Regarding Nathan Drake Collection, I assume Iron Galaxy now may be working on its PS5+PC version.

Yikes at calling that Uncharted movie a “hit success.”

Biggest pile of shit attempt at a summer blockbuster I’ve ever regretfully seen. No joke.

Your opinion doesn't negate the fact it was success.

Just wanna see Kingdom Hearts 4 😭 Is that too much to ask for?

Sadly they are focusing hard on Missing Link which keeps getting delayed (i feel like its also delaying KH4)

I hate how Nomura puts important lore in a garbage mobile game
