Naughty Dog Working on Next-Gen Games with million-poly charcter models

If Uncharted 2 uses over 30,000 and GoWIII uses 20,000, then I wonder how games with a million polygons would look?

After the release of Uncharted 2, Naughty Dog split into teams – one to work on Uncharted 3, and the other to work on The Last of Us. With Uncharted 3 now out, what is the first Naughty Dog team working on? A new job listing uncovered by PlayStation LifeStyle suggests that the top developer is working on a next gen game that has million polygon characters.


The listing for a Character Artist states (emphasis added):

"Prior professional experience with normal map extraction of human models for next-gen games."

Additionally, it also says that “this digital sculptor will be responsible for making million poly models game ready, and support highest-res characters for renderings”, and as the job is a character artist, it’s clear the million polygon models being discussed are character models. To put that in perspective, Naughty Dog previously revealed that Uncharted 2 character models were “over 30,000″ polygons, and Kratos in GOW III is made of ‘only’ 20,000 polygons. That means a huge step up over existing PS3 games.

Considering how amazing Naughty Dog games look on the PS3, the thought of far higher res games on the PS4 is truly mindblowing. But what would you like from Naughty Dog? Uncharted 4 or an entirely new IP? Let us know in the comments below.

There is a point where having the extra polygons really won't make much a difference.

There's a huge difference between a 1K model and a 5K model..but less of a difference between a 15 K model and a 20K model.

It's all about the use of pixel shaders. The character models in Uncharted 3 and God of War 3 look incredible because of the shaders that enhance those models. Oh yea and let's not forget....high res textures help make the models look pretty as well.

I think Naughty Dog should focus on tightening up their gameplay first.

Uhhh... they mean make million polygon characters so they can extract normal maps out of them. This is common for all 3D models in games.

ghost, get out.

Make like a ghost and disappear. That is all.

Ghost you silly man. Don't you know that opinion aren't allowed in G7 and that you need to nutthug everything naughty dog makes?

Uncharted had some loose controls but they weren't bad. And maybe The Last of Us won't be that same style of gameplay.

No matter how much they improve you guys will always find something to nitpick about. I'm not saying Uncharted 3 gameplay is perfect. There is definitely room for improvement. But it did improve from Uncharted 2 however. Yet, it still isn't good enough is it?

/Tells Naughty Dog to tighten up their gameplay.
/Loves Assassin Creed.

I joke.

So when ghost gets a rep - its deserved. When you get a rep - everyone is suddenly butthurt?

That's not what I said. What I meant was people go as far to abuse the rep all because of a comment they don't like.

Am I reading this correctly? First, that's EXACTLY what you and Cerna did to Ghost's comment. Second, isn't that the whole purpose of the plus and minus? You rate up comments you like, and rate down comments you dislike. I don't see a problem here.

You're right BS. You have as much right to down reps as we do. However, saying that we're butthurt for disagreeing with Ghost, yet you're putting more rep downs than us. So who's the one that's really butthurt now.

Uhhh excuse me? Nice assumption there but I don't even use the rep system. So fuck you.

I called you guys butthurt because you guys always do stuff like that. Every time someone says something negative about Sony or Uncharted, no matter how minor it is, you just have to call them out on it and defend Sony or Uncharted.

The thumbs down had nothing to do with me thinking you're butthurt, it's the whole Sony defense force thing you have going on.

anyways back on topic

for them to get in-game character models and render real time with '' a million-polygons'' they will need the horse power to do it so dont expect this to come on the trey

however the new batch of consoles could do it but it will be a massive task the engine must be top notch to get it to work

Does it bother you that much that I don't agree with you guys sometimes? I admit, I'm Sony bias. Sue me. If you truely believe in your opinions than you should defend them. Instead of telling people how butthurt they are just because they don't agree. Very mature.

Ofcourse you don't use it. Last place doesn't get that privilege.
