At least Naughty Dog are doing something new, but this didn’t grab me. Looked like the most generic sci-fi setting ever.
When the game pitch is a cinematic trailer, then a whole bunch of name drops Directed By X, Starring Y, Soundtrack by Z, and not a single mention of what the heck the player is even gonna do in the game, when will AAA studios drop the pretenses and do what they actually wanna do and just make movies
I normally agree with you but Naughty Dog has a good enough track record that I’m not worried. But yes in principle I do absolutely hate the trend
I was gonna say “Yeah, they have a good track record making playable movies.” But that’s not fair to Jak and Crash.
Still, they haven’t made anything with interesting gameplay since like 2004.
I recently played uncharted 4, can confirm there is a lot of interesting gameplay mixed with the mastercrafted, often interactive, cut scenes. It was an excellent experience by any measure and the game is nearing 10 years old.
I swear people are confusing naughty dog with another dev or something, their worst game is still more fun than 90% of other studio’s best.
