I’m glad I’m not affected by the ‘everything is woke’-virus. I just thought it looked cool.

They can't enjoy anything unless they can jerk off to it - Thats what I've gathered from this thread.

Its why Stellar Blade is so beloved here even though the game itself is average as fuck. Lol

 

[Jinzo Prime]

This bald girl wouldn't even be allowed to be in public in Moscow for example.

I mean, what would they do to her?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Yup me too.

I’m ready to go back to playing games as badass masculine dude or hot sexy female protagonist. Not some ugly androgynous crap

I guess Sony still haven’t learned from SW: Outlaws or Concord

As if development of this game started after Concord flopped.

Such a dumb take.

 

[LordOcidax]

Your absolutely % right.

But if it's good it will sell and the actual gamers that want to play it will enjoy it.

TBF haters, review bombers, forum warriors, invest a lot of time into trying to drag a game or system down. Kinda sad.

100% ND fault

 

[tmlDan]

an androgynous lesbianesque smelly looking bald girl would freak everyone out.

what is this description? is this internet brainrot?

 

[Naked Lunch]

Hyped to the moon for HL3...
actually one of the biggest hypes in gaming history,
only to get...this.

Way to get everyone's hopes up and follow it up with the ultimate disappointment internet. GG.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Anyone who knows pop culture can see this game has massive vibes from a lot of great IP

• Alien
• Akira
• Cowboy Bebop
• Guilty Gear
• Maybe throw in a little Metroid in there

People have been dying for Naughty Dog to do a scifi game forever and we finally get it. I'm psyched.

 

[Kacho]

I think it's more anti-modern audience than anti-woke here. But modern audience and woke are interchangeable in most cases.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

.

And the actress is good looking, the actress is never the problem.

 

[Hypereides]

Gonna be a masterpiece.

90+ Meta.

Looks amazing.

Main character hasn't convinced me yet.

From the gaming press and its usual suspects? Likely. From the gaming community? remains to be seen.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

This looks... Forced and generic.

Looks... BAD. LIKE... SONIC SPINBALL BAD.

Younger Gaf members should be thankful they never experienced this level of bad.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

It depends on where you live/d.

This bald girl wouldn't even be allowed to be in public in Moscow for example.

In a place where Margot Robbie looks average, an androgynous lesbianesque smelly looking bald girl would freak everyone out.

I can't remember people ever making a big deal out of a bald Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in Aliens, or about women like Sinead O'Connor or Grace Jones.

 

[Saturn Dragon]

I mean, what would they do to her?

Nothing, it's just a joke. Russians wouldn't care one bit. But it's like you know, very odd looking alien person. Like what happens with black people in Japan.

 

[March Climber]

I'm starting to think her unique features are hard to capture on an in-game model. She looks fine in real life.

It's hard for most women to pull off the bald look. I know that people will probably use an exception as an example, but that doesn't make it the norm

I see all the references, but it does not come together in a cohesive way to me. Seems a bit forced.

 

[Mortisfacio]

Woke stuff aside, the aesthetics just look incredibly generic like it's a made for Netflix show.

 

[EviLore]

I'm starting to think her unique features are hard to capture on an in-game model. She looks fine in real life.

Deliberately turned unattractive and masculine in-game for ideological reasons. Kumail Nanjiani looks like himself.

 

[DerivedDataCache]

Another Guardians of the Galaxy art style game

 

[Saturn Dragon]

I can't remember people ever making a big deal out of a bald Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in Aliens, or about women like Sinead O'Connor or Grace Jones.

Sure. We had thousands femme fatale characters, and just a dozen Ripleys or Sineads. And they were kinda cute.

Now you don't even know what to call them/they/it/x.

 

[Loomy]

Gtfo with this obfuscatory bs.

[1]You've isolated by digital sales, when major SP 1st parties for PS sell majority physical. [2]You've massaged the image by expecting people to focus on revenue as compared to sales numbers. It is not just behind Ragnarok in that rank, a game more than 2 years younger than TLOU2, it is behind a lot, and by a lot. [3]The revenue was quickly accrued, and then sales fell off a cliff. The game COULD have sold an extra 50-70% if it hadn't pissed people off as much. There was potential lost, no one's saying it didn't make money.

I am not even a huge TLOU2 hater like that, nor do I have Druckmann Derangement Syndrome. But you know what, screw it. I look forward to the shock people will have if/when this title does worse than every ND title since U4.

1. Yes. Meaning if you add the physical - which as you said, is where the majority of the sales most likely are - it's a hell of a lot higher. All those games are

2. If you look closely, you'll see that I didn't actually massage anything. If you look on the right side of the table, you'll see that it covers downloads. In downloads, TLoU2 is #4. Behind Spider-Man(1), GoW2018(2), and TLoU2014(3). That's 6.3 million downloads - which you agree is tiny compared to physical sales

3. I haven't seen the sales for this game graphed out, so I can't speak to that, and I'm guessing you haven't either.

 

[captainnapalm]

Man what is Neil Druckmann's obsession with butch man-women - is he in the closet or something? Seems like his subconscious is trying to tell him something. Like other people said - you're so fucking close - just make a man lol.

 

[Matsuchezz]

Perhaps. I can only judge what I see. Nathan Drake and Joel had charisma that was immediately apparent. Seems like a huge downgrade. I suspect Lalo will carry this one.

Bullshit, the first uncharted trailer was not even voiced IRC.


Joel portrayed physical force and determination not charisma.

Fucking people are full of shit.
The trailer is not visually impacting with violence and blood. But technically is really good. I want to see more.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

I can't remember people ever making a big deal out of a bald Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in Aliens, or about women like Sinead O'Connor or Grace Jones.

Grace Jones would probably beat the shit out of you if you dared to say anything disparaging about her style choices.

 

[Ridicululzz]

Why disable the comments though? Comments are allowed on all the other channels with the trailer, even the official PS one.

 

[SSfox]

Character design is so awful, it is a naught dog game indeed

"From studio you bought Crash Bandicoot, Jake and Dexter, Uncharted, the last of us"

Hum yeah, may have same name, but not same people and same soul no more

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Now you don't even know what to call them/they/it/x.

Sure, pronouns are retarded, but do people really actually care?
And I mean really?

[M1chl]

DAT Concord effect

 

[Boss Mog]

To me, the scene of her shaving her (probably a they/them though) head is a political statement in direct response to the election, imitating the mentally ill women who shaved their heads as part of the 4B movement. There's no other reason to have that scene in this short trailer.

 

[JaksGhost]

It depends on where you live/d.

Fuck Moscow lol

 

[EviLore]

Not the best start to the hype cycle.

 

[yogaflame]

I have no problem of having bald women characters even to those characters you mentioned. Even in the movie GI jane, I like Demi Moore. Its just that, come on, look the protagonist of Intergallactic, it looks like a masculine butch and it looks like it deliberately designed to confuse and be indistinguishable between a man and woman. They just put a little breast so it wont be to obvious with there agenda. Clearly there is agenda to push and force woke agenda of twisted gender ideology of binary crap thing.

 

[hemo memo]

So brave.
For fuck sake.

Don't forget G.I Jane.

I’m not comparing this to the first trailer for Uncharted. I’m saying when I first heard Drake his charisma was immediately apparent. Joel too. The girl in the trailer had negative charisma and her off putting character model didn’t help.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Don't forget G.I Jane.

bad movie, iconic character, but I'm guessing the reference is more from Alien.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Sony lied.

Concord is still alive.

 

[awwr999999]

Game is going to be an absolute banger when it launches and all the people screaming that it's woke garbage or that the character is trash will dissappear into the void. The animations look incredible, the retro space horror vibe looks incredible and you know that naughty dog gameplay is going to be incredible. Day one for me.

Hopefully by the time this ships PSN will have modernized and adopted the same 2hr return window that Steam has.
That move will skyrocket day one game sales for games across the board.

This is what will happen with From Software after Sony acquisition.

What happened to the Sony that backed best-ever games like SoTC for PS2?

 

[Saturn Dragon]

Are we having some kind of Concord PTSD?

 

[Stooky]

Deliberately turned unattractive and masculine in-game for ideological reasons. Kumail Nanjiani looks like himself.

it likes like a scan of the actress so you are saying she is unattractive and masculine?

Sure, I did noticd that. First thing it reminded me of was Concord.
But the vibe is awesome and I just want to see gameplay.

I just think some people need to grow up and get over pronouns.
It's starting to become loser-mentality.

 

[captainnapalm]

Can someone even explain the psychology of everything has to star a woman, but the woman has to look and act like a man? It seems like what's its saying is that femininity is bad and women are only redeemed when they act like men. In a way that's way more sexist than anything I can think of. Toxic masculinity is bad - unless it's a woman displaying it - then it's good.

Lol, I can 100% guarantee this was being animated/rendered before the US election.

Also to fit the 4B movement, the main character is ugly.

Some people here are going to say that you’re seeing things and everything is WOKE for you, meanwhile the WOKE people already are seeing this as a victory.

Because they thought Concord is going to be a mega hit.

 

[Kacho]

We've seen this happen so many times this year. At some point the creatives at these studios will have to accept reality.

 

[fersnake]

Not to be mean or something but why they choose that type of protagonist Damm.
