They don't want a smaller game. I don't think they want that for a game like the games that Naughty Dog do. Maybe Uncharted. That's the thing. I think when you give the Ninja Gaiden example, I think it's fascinating because you have something that is going to be a third-person action game, but then you have a 2D thing. That is a different genre. That is a different pipeline and all that stuff.

I mean, if you wanted to go that route, right, it would be, all right, we're going to make a last 2D survival thing. It'd be sick, yeah. Metroidvania type deal, yeah. Yeah, and like, but does that fit the IP?

different i if i were a betting person i would be like this is a miles morales type thing which is a smaller experience but it still feels triple a because it is triple a and i still think i think god of war is one of those franchises that would fit if you wanted to do a 2d thing if you wanted to do like a different genre thing right yeah i think when i'm looking at naughty dog when i say scale back right i'm talking about the fact that last of us 2 was a 25 26 hour game i'm like what if it was what if your next big game was 13 hours

yeah like that's what i'm talking about as far as getting your games out the door a little bit quicker but then that's the thing is that you kind of dig yourself in that hole a little bit right where it's like people are expecting that longer experiences for 70 dollars right if if as playstation you keep developing to people's expectations currently yeah like you're not gonna be able to keep up with it you've done you've i agree with you you ruined from the years of 2016 i completely agree 2020 you ruined people

yeah you ballooned people's expectations to an unreasonable amount and now like if you're not continuing to do that yeah people are going to get upset but guess what i think people get over it because nobody i don't think anybody's going to be able to sustain that if your name is not rockstar and rockstar is putting out a game every eight years or something like that yeah that's true yeah i know you got i think you kind of just have to figure out how to scale or i guess scale to

scale to what you want it to be like naughty dog i don't think naughty dog has to be the guys that put out a game every three or four years as long as the one game you're putting out every six years is fucking a 10 out of 10 sells 30 million like as long as you're doing that and then you have the other studios to help prop you up and you have that synergistic all right we got naughty dog for the prestige we got insomniac to help us make money or whatever right like your team is so be to help

you know, sustain the library and all that stuff. I think you could have a relationship there between studios that works, but it does put Naughty Dog in a very lofty place. Especially if one of those fails potentially. Exactly. If you miss, oh man, that's a problem.

2027, if we get Witcher 4 and Intergalactic out in the year 2027, what do you think ends up being game of the year between those two?

2027, if we get Witcher 4 and Intergalactic out in the year 2027, what do you think ends up being game of the year between those two?

Which are fourth for sure. I hope we see that. I hope we see both those games going on in the same year. I miss the years where it's like, oh, fuck, I really don't know. I feel like the years recently have been either predictable or there haven't been Bring us back to 2013. Where it was GTA 5 versus Last of Us. Much simpler time. Of like, alright, who you got? And we argued into the ground.
