For its first decade, there was no identifiable Naughty Dog style.
WithCrash Bandicoot, something did.
The two games handled platforming very differently.
You might be running toward the camera, away from it, or side-to-side as it follows along.
Like most 3D platformers, Crash Bandicoot was aimed at kids, with a colorful, cartoony mascot.
It might be silly to fight an abominable snowman, but it also kinda rules.
The Last of Us continued Uncharted’s graphical approach, aiming for greater and greater realism.
It was alsoincrediblygrim, a revenge tale with a whole lot of bloody death.
It was the Last of Us studio, with all the violence and existential despair that came with it.
So, it’s heartening to see Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet offer an alternative.
It looks like a return to the spirit of Uncharted.
Would I enjoy seeing Naughty Dog do something completely different?
The Intergalactic trailer looks fantastic… until it gets to Sempiria.
