Naughty Dog:' you can pretty much count on' an Uncharted sequel photo
     News

Naughty Dog's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is at the top of many PS3 owners' Christmas lists this holiday, and for good reason: this involving and gorgeous adventure title is like a breath of fresh air, and is easily one of the best titles this games blogger has played all year.

1UP brings us some good news from Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells. When talking about what's in the cards for his company, an Uncharted sequel was mentioned.

"We developed Uncharted as a franchise. The pulp action/adventure genre lends itself perfectly to serialization and continued episodes, which is one of the reasons we were attracted to it," Wells said. "Right now we are brainstorming on what Naughty Dog's next project will be, but even if we don't do an Uncharted sequel right away, you can pretty much count on us doing one in the near future."

Naughty Dog's other big franchise, Jak and Daxter, could also possibly be in the works, and it may take advantage of the Uncharted game engine.

"Jak and Daxter is a definite possibility some time in the future," Wells said. "There is a lot of interest around the office in going back to that franchise and seeing what we could do with it using the Uncharted engine."

Damn. I could go for either but both would be great. Jak games are fun even if I went for R&C over it for the PS2... but Uncharted is a damn good game. I'd settle for shooting more scummy Malaysian pirates with Sully and Elena, but don't at all doubt that they'll come up with another good plot.

Can't wait to play Drakes Map=Making Activity Pack, it's in the mail from gamefly. It's good to see a franchise a-brewing on the PSTriple

As long as they don't do Drake's Fortune X: Combat Racing, then I'll be happy. What am I saying? That would be AWESOME!

You can pretty much count on developer laziness.

I have every jak and dacter game, unfortuanetly that means combat racing, which i never beat. Any other sequel of either franchise would be great.

Uncharted was amazing btw.

It wont be called uncharted, that wouldn't make sense, how about. Unbartered: Drake's Stock Portfolio.

@ brainderailment: That could work, but you'd need access to plenty of coke, hookers, and really tall buildings to jump from if the market crashes.

Funny me and BronxbomBr21 were just talking about this last night. I was knew they were going to make a sequel and I'm a little disappointed.

What happened to the days when a game was made by itself, with no need for a sequel? Stop trying to make "franchises!"

Huh. Sounds just like BioShock.

At least developers are admitting that they're creating games to be lazily-done franchise "goldmines"?

I heard this game was good. It'll be on the GameFly list as soon as I get a PS3 (some time next year probably).

Kind of an annoying trend. Make something new and fresh, then RUN IT INTO THE GROUND!!!!
