Naughty Dog Working On Next Gen Game With “Million Poly Character Models”

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.

so this million polygon graphics talking about is for the ps3? or is naughty dog already preparing for sony's ngc?

And remember PS3 in the beginning , it was a PS2 and a half LOL.
So expect the same with PS4 ( max graphics after next 3-4 years after initial release !!!)

Yeah same with ps one/2. But that's very good becouse graphic will be always better in games (for 3-4 years like you wrote) and i think that's just power of playstation will be good enough for years of gaming

Here in Brazil videogames are so damn expensive. I could only afford my PS3 when it was already 5 yr out.. guess I got it on its best moment, then. I wish there would have more ps3 big titles before it dies.

The ps3 can't handle that, it has problems with skyrim and 1mil polygon characters is just way out of range. When they say that the PS3 has 10year lifetime why don't use a better gpu then the RSX?

Million poly character model? Why? The ones they have now look like CGI movie/film character quality models already. This is just more boasting for the sake of boasting. They say this now, but come time to actually make the game watch that number drop like an anvil.
