When the announcement trailer for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet concluded the barrage of trailers and 'world premieres' at last year's Game Awards, the jaw-dropping fidelity of its in-game cinematics captured on PS5 would have been enough for anyone watching to sit up and pay attention. But let's be real, the biggest reason to be excited was cemented at the end of this lengthy four-minute trailer came at the end as it was confirmed that this is a brand new game from Naughty Dog, "the studio that brought you Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter, Uncharted, The Last of Us."
It's no understatement that the Santa Monica-based studio has been the jewel in PlayStation's crown ever since it was acquired by Sony back in 2001, all the more so with the success of The Last of Us that has gone beyond video games. I also don't think it's hyperbole to call The Last of Us Part 2 a masterpiece from the PS4 generation.
