Naugty Dog PS4 Game Uncovered

Naughty Dog is working on a next generation title for PS4, a job listing on the developer’s official site has confirmed.

The job listing for Character Artist requires that the chosen candidate have “experience with normal map extraction of human models for next gen games.”

As one would expect from Naughty Dog, the studio that brought one of the best-looking games this generation, the chosen candidate will also be responsible “for making million poly models game ready, and support highest-res characters for renderings.” This means the studio’s next game should look almost photo realistic, as Uncharted 2&3 on PS3 came very close. And with the power that PS4 packs, gamers should ready themselves to be completely stunned by what Naughty Dog brings to the table, with the first showing most likely being at E3.

Here’s the full job listing for Character Artist at Naughty Dog:
