As much as I hate to defend "meh," because it's one of the most annoying fake words, this event was just unnecessary. There were cool trailers and some interesting info, but certainly nothing that justified an event.
Yeah there were some interesting things but nothing that necessitated an event. It almost makes me wonder if this was supposed to be the PS5 event and then they changed their minds in the last few weeks but decided to keep an event anyway.
Exactly. A lot of people are like, "the story made me mad, it's a 7 out of 10 at best," without any consideration at all of the gameplay or the meticulous attention to detail of the game world. If this had just been a new game with a generic story but set in that environment, these people would have given it higher scores based on those things alone. It's just that because it's ND everyone takes that high level of quality for granted.
As much as I disagree with both of you, I at least have to give props for admitting that what you wanted was "continuing with the first game." The thing is, the first game was perfect to me. If they would have just tried to extend it with another similar story, there's no way it could have matched up. I'd have preferred no sequel at all to one that merely served as an extension of the first game.

I'd hardly characterize Lost Legacy as a full separate Uncharted game. Just because something can be played as a standalone doesn't make it a full release.
If anyone wants to save the time or the click, yes, this article is exactly what you expected it to be when you read the title and saw what site it is from.
Are you counting Last of Us Remastered as a Naughty Dog game for this gen?
Regardless, I think we have to start getting used to the idea of studios only getting 1-2 games out per generation.
12 years ago MS was at their peak in the games market. It's comparing similar moves between companies in similar positions.
It's just like how MS used to block cross-play (source: https://kotaku.com/i-saw-th... but no one cared, then when Sony did it, it became an outrage.
It's funny how when MS gets exclusive single player DLC for a year in GTA IV, it's smart business, but when PlayStation gets an exclusive DLC character it's bad taste and anti-consumer.
It was never particularly good. People just remember the first one so fondly because the 360 was new at the time and there were so few games for it then.
At this point I'd rather just have them agree to launch at the same price so I can just get my pre-order in (yes I realize there are legal issues preventing that).
The vast majority of people who buy it probably are unaware of all controversies related to micro transactions. Sports games are an entirely different world than what most of us occupy.

Consider yourself lucky; it's super annoying. I'm willing to accept that it could largely be a generational or regional thing, or possibly a combination of the two.
@Ron_Danger
You'd think they wouldn't, but unfortunately they do. I know people who will say "do you play Xbox?" And what they mean is "do you play video games" I just want to shake them and be like "PlayStation has been a massive brand for 25 years, stop being ignorant." It's like how people will call all shooters Call of Duty.

Actually it's kind of a testament to Xbox's durable popularity in the US. Considering only the base consoles (since those are what have been available since day one, and they are still what most people buy), PS4 is better in every way than Xbox One, most notably in terms of exclusive games. Yet still, despite getting outsold more than 2:1 worldwide, Xbox is not that far beyond in the crucial US market. Casuals and people who don't play games at all will refer to all video games as...
Agreed, even factoring in the loss of sales due to Gamepass, this seems low.
I agree with you to an extent, in that I don't think we'll see God of War or any Naughty Dog games on PC. However, Spider-Man would not surprise me.
What I would say is that it's a waste to make it a primary focus. So if you make your game and realize that you can hit 120 fps, great. But don't start from the proposition that you need to limit your game in other areas so you can achieve 120 fps.
On the one hand, lol at that one attention-seeking dev making that 2D game who said he couldn't get to 120 fps on PS5. On the other, a very small number of people have screens that can take advantage of 120 fps. Probably the vast majority of people bragging about how game X on their favorite platform can do 120 fps don't even have a 120 hz TV/monitor.

Uhhh the human enemy AI is definitely a lot better than anything they did in Uncharted, or the first TLOU (and yes I know it still has its quirks like the AI in any game, but I'm speaking relatively). Not to mention it's about the most customizable gameplay I've ever seen in a console game (obviously this is an area where console games typically fall short of PC).
If someone else put together this package but with a generic story, the "I...
