Naughty Dog Might Make a Non-Third-Person Game

While Naughty Dog is known for its third-person action adventure games, a future game from the studio might feature a different perspective for the player.

“We’re totally open. The future, the next game that we do might not be third-person,” Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann said today during a panel at DICE Summit 2018.

When Naughty Dog was working on The Last of Us, Druckmann said the studio brainstormed whether the game should be first or third-person. While the team ultimately settled on a third-person perspective with a tight camera, Druckmann said they’ve kicked around the idea of making a Naughty Dog first-person game and even joked about how they might approach making Half-Life 3.

Game Night Review

Let’s be honest: it’s pretty rare to watch a broad comedy nowadays that you don’t have to make excuses for. All too often we wind up having to say things like, “Well, the plot sucked but at least I laughed a lot,” or “It was funny but it went on half an hour too long.” And then of course there’s the dreaded, “I just turned off my brain and enjoyed it,” as if a movie that only works if you’re dumber than you actually are is something worth celebrating.

So it’s a real treat to watch a comedy as sharp as Game Night, a film with a clever screenplay, memorable characters, tight pacing and impressive filmmaking across the board. It may not be the funniest movie ever but it’s still extremely funny, and it works on basically every level.

25 Movies Black Panther Outgrossed in 4 Days

Black Panther has made a lot of money at the box office already — $242 million in its first four days of domestic (U.S.) release. It had the second-biggest four-day domestic debut of all time and set a new record for Monday box office numbers, surpassing The Force Awakens ($40.11 million) with $40.167 million.

There’s also been some buzz about how BP has already made more money than Justice League did in its entire domestic run (JL ended up with $229 million in U.S. receipts). But the truth is, the latest Marvel film has actually beaten the domestic numbers of a bunch of superhero movies. In the following slideshow, we’ve broken down the top 25 grossers whose entire domestic run wound up being less than BP’s four-day haul. But please note, we kept this list to superhero movies released just in the past 10 years. And also, these numbers are not adjusted for inflation. (All figures via Box Office Mojo.)
