I didn't really feel like Uncharted needed another game yet. I was really hoping they were working on something different.

So, can we assume this will be primarily handled by the clearly more talented team members, or by the "hey you guys go start on UC3 while we finish up UC2" team?

Exactly, don't dip your toe in the water and then run away.
The whole Indiana Jones style of characterisation has worn off by now and I think they need to change things up a bit or else it's gonna feel like the same stuff again but shinier
And everyone realises Drake is a mess, even Drake himself. But they never change it cos of what we said above. Sully even tells him he's dumb and this stuff will kill him but gladly follows him anyway

Fact of the matter is, nobody wanted more Uncharted.
Naughty Dog formed two teams because the primary team was tired of Uncharted and people were about to leave the company
Most Uncharted fans got tired of the series after the third game
Space IP = do want
Uncharted = do not want

I'd like to believe that... but this is the same team that took all of the complaints about Situational Awareness in U2 (an optional wallhack perk) and turned it into a FORCED state of play, that when activated, showed you and your whole teams' locations to the entire enemy team, from any distance.
A lot of people seem disappointed that they aren't working on a new IP but who says they aren't? ND is capable of developing more than one game at a time. Anywho, an UC prequel with Sir Francis Drake as the main character could be very interesting. The core gameplay would also have to be drastically different since they didn't have automatic pistols and assault rifles in the 16th Century, definitely wanna see some gameplay.
My head hurts...
Now it hurts even more.
SniperHunter, stop posting here.

Dang it Naughty Dog! We all want new IPs! I mean come on, the last time we got a new IP from you was way back in 2013.
Where's all this from?

lol seriously?
Nobody wanted more Uncharted? Most Uncharted fans got tired of the series after the third game? How are you backing up these claims? I guess all the people being excited on social media/forums are just lying.
I, for one, did want more Uncharted and wasn't tired of the game after the 3rd one (although I do want them to change up the formula somewhat).
I'm pretty sure you don't speak for Uncharted fans. You should also have a better look around.

Lol according to sniperhunter I'm nobody.
Show the source!
Yeah I think it would be really cool. It could really add that tension and take things a bit darker without breaking anything. We could see Nat pushed to the end of his endurance with potential epic showdown with his nemesis a la Sherlock Holmes v Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls.
Maybe the villain doesn't really want him dead; that's too simple. They ensnare him in a grand manipulation for vengeance, to ruin him completely before the killing blow. Those stories always go down well.
For sure another treasure hunt ending in a lost city that has developed some kind of supernatural infestation is not going to do the job.

So excited.
This will be nothing like the Uncharted people are used to.

Yeah, that's why I think the voice in the trailer is a character from Drake's past who knows the truth and is coming for him for revenge. Maybe he'll kill Elena? Although that might be a bit dark for the series. But it would certainly change up the formula and take the Drake/Elena stalemate out of the picture.
A fact huh. If it sells another 5 million units will you eat 5 million crows?

Why is it seemingly so common to find a few people who feel like "dictating" what Naugthy Dog should and should not do? I might just not have paid enough attention to other devs or events in the past, but I've never noticed such an attitude towards other devs before, not to this degree?
In any case I'm looking forward to see gameplay videos when we get around to that. Uncharted on PS4 must be stunning and I have a feeling there'll be a bit more to it than the standard climb and shoot gameplay.

My issues had little to do with the aiming, which I'd call a "micro-level" issue. It was a minor annoyance, but forgivable. My real issues with the game had much more to do with the big picture. Levels had no logical relationship to one another, either in terms of story or design. And some ideas were too half-assed to deserve making the final cut (e.g. boy-Drake rooftops). The individual pieces were fine and resembled the prior UC games, but the way they all fit together was a total mess. That's what I mean by "high-level design issues." And that fault lies squarely with the lead designers and game director.
I'm fine with being called cynical, but when it comes to creative works, you're only as good as what you produce. And what he produced in UC3 wasn't up to snuff. I'd much rather see someone else get a crack at it.

Not trying to hurt you head. I LOVE the Uncharted series it's just that 3 left kind of a bad taste in my mouth. I all for more Uncharted, as long as it's more like 2 or even TLoU and less like 3.

Look, I really loved all the Uncharted games. But Naughty Dog is a very talented and creative developer, and I really appreciated how they made new franchises for each new piece of hardware in the past. I am VERY disappointed that they decided to play it safe and go with yet another Uncharted game. I'm sure it will be a good game, don't get me wrong, but it's still a bit of a boring choice.
Wrong!
The cynical answer: making a safe bet with one team ensures that the studio is successful enough to support new, interesting projects from their other team.
There was a thread awhile back where a bunch of people admitted that they skip all cutscenes in video games, even on their first playthrough. Why you would ruin games like this for yourself, I have no idea. But some people do it anyways. It's dumb if you ask me.

i hope so
uncharted already felt labored by its third entry, that's a problem. i would like to think after tlou naughty dog would see to it that more nuance is required in a shooting game.
would be neat if they placed more emphasis on platforming/exploration/puzzles and cooled off on the shootiness. plus i'd love the irony of uncharted being the true successor to ps1 tomb raider while tomb raider is basically ultraviolent uncharted.
What other news can you find stashed up there in your ass?

Yeah... This bugged me too. How about new gameplay mechanics, narrative presentation, or using the PSEye?
I want more Uncharted by the way.

The amount of Portuguese shown in the map, in addition to showing the Cape of Good Hope and Terra de Natal (as well as Algoa bay) makes me think that Vasco da Gama might play a role in this game.
My thoughts exactly, I mean not HIM but the voice gave me serious Bardem vibes (No Country for Old Men).
Still, super hyped for this!

I suspect it's because Naughty Dog is probably the best development house in the world at the moment. When an artist is successful (establishing visceral, emotional connections between the fiction and his audience), it's natural for the audience to extend those emotional ties to the artist himself--in this case artists. If I worked at Naughty Dog, I'd take it as proof of my quality/talent/success that gamers cared deeply about how I spent my time.
That said, I agree that fan "ownership" over a development studio or a writer or a band can skew perspective fast.
