The development team at Naughty Dog is so satisfied with its current game engine, which powers both Uncharted 3 and the new Last of Us, that it plans to keep its core features in place for the coming PlayStation 4 from Sony.
Bruce Straley, a game director working at the studio, explains that his team moved too fast to create entirely new tech when the PlayStation 3 was launched.
He tells DigitalSpy that, “We learned our lesson in saying, as we move into development into next-gen, we want to take our current engine, port it immediately over as is and say, 'Okay, we have a great AI system, we have a good rendering system'.”
Rumors suggest that Naughty Dog is already working on a new Uncharted title for the PlayStation 4.
