Just look back on this GEM of a trailer and think about how well it encapsulated the game...
So many better trailers have been made.

Thats why the reception is even crazier. even outside the drama, I think this trailer didn't hit that well overall.

Only way to save is DELETE IT!
It's another Concord, I don't wanna touch it even if they give me that game for free.

I’ll wait to see more before I judge it. The studio may be named Naughty Dog, but these aren’t the same developers that made the Uncharted Series.
We’ve seen this with Rocksteady, Bethesda, Bioware, and CDPR recently. Just because they made a game you liked 10 or so years ago doesn’t mean the next one is going to be good or that you will enjoy it.

But maybe something smilier here for the game . We don’t know anything from this trailer . Bald women is not a woke thing as far as I know.
Let’s see more of the game before we crucify it >_>

The first thing I see in this trailer is that our main protagonist is flying a Porsche. When I see that, I think: "Hm, she must already be somewhat economically successful". So why would I as a player try to improve her situation, i.e. play the game? There is a reason why games usually start with a character down on his luck, or in a space game with a scrappy space ship ...

That’d be objectifying / dehumanizing / your codeword of choice.
Remember, the Wicked actress threw the most ridiculous hissy fit online when someone dared cover her lifeless stare with the brim of a hat in an homage to the original musical’s poster.
Allowing players to customize Intergalactic’s MC like she were your doll would completely defeat the purpose of their design choice.

When I first saw this game I thought it was a trailer for Mass Effect 4 and that is why the character looked like this.
I thought they were showing off the character creator and this character was exactly halfway on every slider.
When I see a game like this, I realize that there are only so many 1st party Sony games they make for me to play and it makes me think that maybe they aren't good/plentiful enough anymore. If Sony releases 4 first party games a year and I only halfway like 1 of them, then what am I doing spending so much money on this platform.
Sony can't afford to keep missing with this stuff. What happened to the company I once loved. Where is the leadership? This type of hands off western management is driving me up a wall, not gonna lie. Sony needs leaders who care.

Just so that I understand, the problem is that she is a woman. And that she looks like a female soldier?

Even putting aside the character design, which I don't personally have a problem with. I don't think there was anything even remotely cool about that trailer. It was about as mid as you could get.

Thread #100 of a topic that already has a thread in which OP could have voiced his opinion.
I'd be surprised if this is still open by the end of the day.

I was already in based on the opening synth line, but I said wow when she walks from the dingy living areas into the cockpit area:
It's so rare to get a new IP at the highest end of the game production. And this is Naughty Dog who are a gen ahead of the industry and keep getting better. If you can't get excited for this, I'd just find a different hobby.

The problem with single player games (narrative based single player games coming out of California) is that they want to tell you their story.
They don't want you messing with their story. You sit down, you watch what we tell you to watch. You're a captive audience to their ideology.
It's one of the reasons why I continue rooting for gameplay oriented games to take over the industry.

The way she sipped that milkshake man, I can already tell she's going to be a completely unique character. Not your average damsel in distress. How cool. People aren't ready for a woman who knows how to fight and rip smart one-liners!. They are just tuned in man. THAT is what I can visual art. The tasteful jukebox in outer space (optical disc based media... She is literally me!), the song choice, the red jacket. Is there anything Naughty Gods don't think of?

I think the game will be fine and doesn't really need saving....so far as we know at this point in time.
Let's maybe wait a bit before passing judgement. Druck's gonna go what he does so I understand some of the PTSD some folks are exhibiting. Still...we don't know enough and need to give this a fair shake.

Can't wait too see gameplay of this game. ND making a gameplay focused ARPG with their production quality sounds amazing.
I do agree the character design looks kinda lame though, she needs something else to make her stand out. Maybe the jacket and that sword will be enough once you get used to using the character. Im thinking "what would an Astrobot of Jordan" look like, needs something else.

Just wow. Naughty Dog's cinematic games are not ‘the pinnacle of videogames’, there are an infinite number of genres and proposals beyond games that want to be movies, nor are they a generation ahead of anyone else, their games are technically great, but they don't do anything that other big budget games don't do.
I've been playing videogames all my life, and games like the Uncharted saga are boring me to death, having such a closed and biased vision maybe you should be the one to ask yourself if videogames are for you, or maybe you better invest your time in going to the cinema to see the latest Marvel blockbuster.

Comparing Last of Us to The Latest Marvel Blockbuster is so far off the mark it's crazy. The influences have been discussed : Children of Men, The Road, No Country for Old Men. Reasonably heady stuff for $200M game development. It's a risk to do work like Naughty Dog does.
Last Of Us 2 has incredible gameplay. In the 3rd person / stealth action genre, the only game in the conversation in MGS5 and it's not close. Basic movement in Last of Us 2 is so refined and well animated it makes other games feel like a prototype.
Digital Foundry discuss in this week's episode how insane it is that 2024 blockbusters like Space Marine 2 fall behind Uncharted 4 (2016) in production, but it's true.
Love naughty dog’s games and I’m excited to play their new one.
But saying it’s “one of the coolest trailers ever” is beyond hyperbolic. It was a no gameplay trailer that told us little. You sound as delusional as people who say it’s going to be “awful” based off the protagonist appearance.
yes, it would be effective. Particularly if they deliver that with her demonstrating charm and a little well written humor. Even just the latter would go a very long way. She just needs to be likeable, and visually more interesting, there’s hardly anything distinctive about her in the trailer, she’s bald, muscled, with a generic red space coat, and comes off as an asshole.
Showing some interesting visual flare (however they do it), and showing likeable personality traits would address the majority of people’s concerns.

I'd give advice, but the god of AAA cinematic gaming saves those who save themselves. Very deep and profound when you think about it.
It genuinely baffles me that people care what a game character looks like. We’ve had all sorts of different race/gender protagonists for years and nobody cared, now it’s all of a sudden an insult to gamers when the character isn’t an anime girl with massive tits. You’re pathetic if you wouldn’t consider the game because you don’t like the look of the character.
As far as the game goes it looks fine so far, will be interested to see how the sword mechanics work.

When the main source of inspiration behind this game is Cowboy Bebop, I'm not sure you can arrive at that conclusion.

Anyone who truly enjoys gaming will be there for a new Naughty Dog one on day one. Even if they particularly don't like their style, their games always push boundaries. This one will be no different.

Game might be great but the trailer was nothing special at all. If it wasn’t attached to naughty dog no one would have even remembered it.

if the main char looked like Eve or 2B GAF would be gooning all over it
