At least Naughty Dog are doing something new, but this didn’t grab me. Looked like the most generic sci-fi setting ever.
The vibe is fucking immaculate. Naughty Dog heading this up gives me faith. I just hope they do a good job with the PC port.

I’ve seen so many terrible takes already. I made the mistake of looking at a Reddit thread on the announcement. They’re not even trying to be subtle. “Female characters are supposed to be pretty! Nobody wants to play as an ugly bald bitch who looks like a man!”. I’d consider myself a seasoned internet veteran and even still it’s shocking to me.
Same with the Witcher 4 lol
The most painful thing will be if the game turns out to be bad, and we have to painstakingly explain “Yes, it was bad, but it’s not somehow specifically because it features a bald female lead.”
What misogynists, I don’t see them anywhere ??<br> Ohhhhhhh; you mean people who hate games being ruined by bad writing<br> This is a rather old gaslighting technique mind you
Whatever you say, weirdo
Looks fun, but since it’s a PS5 exclusive, there’s no fucking way I’m shelling out 600$ on a console to get it.
It will likely end up on PC eventually.
So far I see Guardians of the Galaxy with product placement.
Look it’s Naughty Dog’s Starfield.
Because YouTube is a cesspool and anything featuring anyone other than white soldiers is “woke” and “DEI”
Heh. The moment chat figured out it was Naughty Dog I lost most of my interest. Don’t get me wrong, I liked TLOU1 a lot and mostly liked TLOU2 (even if I wish it was like 60% as long). But I am REAL tired of Sony’s “prestige telivision” gaming bullshit.
Then we got like 5 seconds of gameplay and it is bright action game fun and I am all for it.
Excited to see ND dipping into a new IP finally, it’s visually impressive but let’s see some gameplay.
I’ve actually got some space cowboy vibes, so the swords in the end felt kind of weird. But I’m cautiously optimistic.
Neil Druckman making his staff work triple overtime to render out the new Verizon space phone in game
This reminds me of how I felt about starfield, where I needed to endure boring sci fi game so they can finally work on elder scrolls 6. I do wish though they’d wrap the story of last of us before moving to a new franchise
It looks interesting but thats about all I can say

When the game pitch is a cinematic trailer, then a whole bunch of name drops Directed By X, Starring Y, Soundtrack by Z, and not a single mention of what the heck the player is even gonna do in the game, when will AAA studios drop the pretenses and do what they actually wanna do and just make movies

I normally agree with you but Naughty Dog has a good enough track record that I’m not worried. But yes in principle I do absolutely hate the trend

I was I gonna say "Yeah, they have a good track recors making playable movies." But that's not fair to Jak and Crash.
Still, they haven't made anything with interesting gameplay since like 2004.
