[SlimySnake]

This is back when Bend were making the uncharted spinoff. it was cancelled and now they are making a new IP.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Didn't they work on The Last of Us Online with ND?

 

[Tsaki]

Wasn't it the Uncharted game that Bend then asked Sony to get out of and make a new IP?

 

[IFireflyl]

I would love a Days Gone sequel.

 

[Tommi84]

Days Goner

 

[Gaelyon]

The Last Days is Gone for us, part deux.

 

[Flutta]

Clearly it’s Days Gone 2 but with a feminist biker this time around .

Oh boo!!!

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

It better not be another uncharted.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

The thread title doesn't match the OP at all.

The resume info. clearly reads like this person worked on two separate unannounced projects at Bend and ND.

Where are you getting that it's a common joint project, OP?

 

[Saber]

If anything Bend Studios should keep their distance from ND. Nothing good will come from ND picking their nose on Bend project. Specially if its Days Gone sequel.

 

[Katatonic]

 

[The Fuzz damn you!]

It’s ambiguous - the work history dot-points mention working *with* Naughty Dog but doesn’t mention Bend. The fact that they then listed both ND and Bend as “titles worked on” suggests at least the possibility that they worked on a Bend title while with Naughty Dog.

That said, it’s prettty common practice for Sony studios to collaborate and share expertise / techniques / experience / etc. That’s not at all the same as them having a “joint unannounced project”.

Edit- deep, I missed the bit where he worked at Bend for 2 years. Still, same logic applies - this doesn’t really imply anything more than standard collaboration between Sony studios.

 

[E-Cat]

It better not be another uncharted.

It will be Nuncharted, with a strong female protagonist who needs no men in her life.

 

[Thirty7ven]

It better not be another uncharted.

Didn’t the guy who direct Days Gone pitch an Uncharted game set in the 70s where you play as Sully?

Either way, it says he worked on two unannounced games, I think people are jumping to conclusions about it being the same game.

To me it reads that he worked at Bend Studios for two years, and during that time one of the things he worked on was a project that was a collaboration between Bend and ND. It was probably the Uncharted project or idk.

 

[Leonidas]

Syphon Filter Reboot

 

[YukiOnna]

Wish it was Uncharted but ND hate it, lol.

 

[DrFigs]

this feels like copium. "actually Naughty Dog was secretly working on 3 games at the same time"

 

[Schmendrick]

so the mediocrity of Bend + the wokeness of Druckman.
I predict a "super politically correct" GAAS abomination.

 

[Bernardougf]

I would love a Days Gone sequel.

Not with cuckman shit writing.... if its only Bend doing it im all for it .. loved the first game

This why you here....

I agree. That is how I read it.

Days Gone Golfing

The Days Gone character hears rumors of a manwoman with an unbelieveable golf swing and searches for Abby.....

You just unlocked an old memory had to search for it and make Neogaf suffer.

This is old news.

Bend was brought over to collaborate with The Last Of Us Online before their new IP was ready to enter full production.

I believe this was all explained in David Jaffe's Jeff Ross interview.

 

[Nankatsu]

It says titles, I actually don't think that's a joint project at all.

It's two individual projects.

 

[Famipan]

It's a full blown stand alone Crazy Taxi clone based upon the CT-like mini game from Days Gone's arcade mode Challenges (where you drive a golf car to the soundtrack of punk rock from Bend Studios' developers and friends own bands)

 

[AJUMP23]

Was it the service game they canceled.

 

[IFireflyl]

please stop. we aren’t going to do this with every sales failure are we?

"I don't like the game, and you can't like it either!"

Git rekt, butt-diddler.

 

[Games of Today]

Please give me an Uncharted Golden Abyss prequel/sequel or Days Gone 2. I would jerk it.

I'd play the shit out of that. I'd literally have to do that in order to refuel the tank.

The Naughty Dog game joint was the TLOU Remake. Bend was a support studio for the Remake. Old news.

Coolio! Thanks for the quote & the info...

Deacon is gay now and Boozer ll ask him to be "ridden" like a bike and the internet ll be fine with it this time.

You're asking for a sequel to a critical failure. If the studio were to release Days Gone 2, the studio would close.

An amped up multiplayer horde clearing mode with using the environment as well would slap.

Days Gone sold around 10 million copies. It was a 7 out of 10 game by critics and an 8 out of 10 game by users, and it sold almost 10 million copies. It also has 92% positive rating on Steam with almost 50,000 reviews. That is not a failure by any stretch of the imagination, let alone a critical failure.

at what price buddy

 

[IFireflyl]

at what price buddy

They made bank. Even if it cost them $100 million, the game made $265 million. They more than doubled their investment, and they made people happy with their game. The leaked data is already in another thread. So tell me: what metric are you using to say that Days Gone was a critical failure? Just your own opinion?
