ThreeSpeech interview with Naughty Dog's Evan Wells (Jak rumours rekindled)

Recently ThreeSpeech asked their members what questions they wanted to ask Evan Wells at Naughty Dog. Now they have selected the best ones and put them to the man in this exclusive interview. There is some interesting stuff in there, but by far the highlight is his discussion of Naughty Dog's next project, he mentions that the next game might not be Uncharted and that a new Jak is definitely a possibility. This is just half the interview though, the rest will be posted tomorrow
Will you be utilising the uncharted engine for upcoming titles - PS3 Jak anyone?

We will most definitely continue to build on the Uncharted code base with all of our future titles for the PlayStation3. We have a lot of very sophisticated systems that are general purpose and could be used for a wide variety of genres. It’s very exciting to think what we can do with this tech now that it’s in place and we can focus on accomplishing something even more ambitious. And Jak and Daxter is a definite possibility some time in the future. There is a lot of interest around the office in going back to that franchise and seeing what we could do with it using the Uncharted engine.


Are you considering a sequel? There are more treasures to be found out there after all. Perhaps some in old Italian cities, like Venice.

We developed Uncharted as a franchise. The pulp action/adventure genre lends itself perfectly to serialization and continued episodes which is one of the reasons we were attracted to it. Right now we are brainstorming on what Naughty Dog’s next project will be, but even if we don’t do an Uncharted sequel right away, you can pretty much count on us doing one in the near future.

    Apologies, another site linked to it and that page was very recent, so I assumed this was as well. I'll request this be deleted
