Naughty Dog announced today that Uncharted 2 maps will be coming to Uncharted 3's multiplayer. As revealed on the PlayStation Blog, Flashback Map Pack #1 will contain at least two maps previously seen in Uncharted 2
The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) is proud to announce that Evan Wells, former Co-President of Naughty Dog and one of the most respected studio leaders in modern game development, will be honored with a prestigious Hall of Fame Award. Wells’ induction will take place at the 29th annual D.I.C.E. Awards on February 12, 2026, at the Aria Resort in Las Vegas. Neil Druckmann, a longtime collaborator from Naughty Dog, will present Wells with his Hall of Fame Award live at the ceremony.
Neil Druckmann, the creative director of The Last of Us, is working on a new, unannounced game at Naughty Dog.
I know they've expertise in third person games.
But given the lack there of in PS catalog, I'd want the other project to be a narrative first person ND game.
Look, there are lots of 3rd person Sony games in variety of flavors. And ND is already doing intergalactic. And since they're pretty expert at gameplay and tech wise in whatever they do, they can easily venture a new genre and ship a first person game/shooter.
So, judging from the dislikes, hardcore Sony fans here don't like first person games, anymore?
I don't really have a big opinion on first vs third person perspective. That's one of the least important things to me when rating how much I like a game
I actually hate 1st person. very hard to associate with a character you only see their hands most of the time.
funny thing is with failures like Concord and soon to be Marathon, Factions could have been Sony's guaranteed huge success with a shooter! I don't ever play online shooters anymore, but I would have come out of shooter retirement for a new Factions game.
{ coming from the above thread }
So PS Fellas hate first person games now? (Understandable)
But praise Killzone and Resistance series, as well?
And hope for a return of first party first person games? ~ but from where? insomniac is deep in marvel territory, guerilla is deep in aloy territory ... suckerP are not as big to undertake that change + dedicated to Ghost series
The only options are ND and Santa Monica, who are rumoured to be involved in parallel projects. ~ so take your pick.
And the other 'new' studios at Sony are not that hot right now with knee deep in live service fiasco
It’d be cool if they bought the Parappa licence and made Parappa 3 that’d be the real good timeline
Wait I thought they cancelled a game? Or did they announce another project?

I’m assuming it’s the unannounced game in the title you posted.
“Naughty Dog Reportedly Canceled a Single Player Game This Year, But Another Unannounced Game Is Still in the Works“
Devs cancel games all the time early stages if it doesn’t turn out the way they envisioned it. We just don’t hear about every one of them.
Yeah only a narcissist like Druckmann would announce a game this early that has a 99% chance of being cancelled.
Some speculate it could be Uncharted spin off. It's already 3 years in production so yeah 2028 maybe 2027 at the absolute earliest but most likely 28 release.
Also to add. kojimas next game that's not OD is said to be 5 to 6 years out for PS. That metal gear inspired game. These games are just too far off it seems.
'We have several directors on Intergalactic. I work with two game directors: Matthew Gallant and Kurt Margenau, [and] I have a co-writer in Clair Carré.'
Okay you got me, I skimmed the article and video .
Thanks lol
Damage has been done but it's not too late yet if they dump him now. Probably won't happen though. It's sad, honestly. We'll see what happens after Intergalactic. That game is going to have a huge impact one way or another.
Yes because they didn’t make some of the greatest games. Right, we all just agree to live in your fantasy from now on.
yall say that about ever developer and then they end up becoming more successful lol
Downfall? If anything he is a huge reason they are on the map! A few apes don't like the material hasn't stopped his games from being massive hits.
I have grievances with Druckmann, but he does deserve some benefit of the doubt. He's been in crucial roles at the company through all of their successes.
Maybe wait and see?
Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.
It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.
No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.
I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.
I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games
Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.
Flashback map pack!
What is it with developers recycling maps from previous games.
Its just simply lazy.
And before everyone goes all apesh*t saying naughty dog is god or in naughty dog we trust well I'm just saying that this is half assed and they should be ashamed.
This sure isn't the first time old maps (that users have already purchases for the predecessor) being re-sold as new.
(CODs zombie map pack)
IMO Uncharted should have done this later to avoid being criticized.
ND already stated they have a good DLC line-up (for MP only) and it seems odd that they'd kick-it-off with a recycled release.
Saving the best for last, ND?
Back to Karkand...
SO....they shipped the game with 4..count em'...4 maps from #2.
and now they gonna sell 2 more maps that come from uncharted 2
W_____T______F
the success of naughty dog has gone to their head. the story of uncharted 3 was a letdown, the recoil of guns and has the worst hit detection of any game period. take off the damn rose tinted glasses please, ur not doing gamers any favours defending ND. and the next one will suck if they dont adapt and evolve the series.
Everyone always thinks Sony should give everything away for free.PS1 games should be free, PS2 games should be free, using the UMD games should be free, PSP games should be free, DLC should be free. Meanwhile every other developers and company charge for everything they can trying to squeeze every penny out their gamers and everyone is always ready to pull there wallets out to pay for what ever it is.
But as soon as any one from Sony say the word 'pay' suddenly gamers piss their pants.You always think you deserve this and you deserve that. Because you brought UC2 months ago that entitles you to free DLC now. Oh yeah that is reasonable /s. I laugh when everyone jumps to say these developers and companies are greedy when gamers are just as big penny pinchers and greedy to the core.You always believe that you are owed something when in reality no one owes you squat.
