Ah, Alien. With that square jawed dyke of a protagonist. Woke shit bruv.

It started all the way back in the 70's.

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.

Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.

I thought it looked decent other than the protagonist's character design—a bald, non-binary looking woman with masculine shoulders and muscles, basically Abby 2.0
Click to expand...
It's hard to tell if it's actually her body or not because she had a muscular physique in the Uncharted movie.



So I think this new game might actually be her build. I didn't see anything too outrageously different than the Uncharted film.

Edit: The above clip is spoilers for the end of the film btw, but makes for a good example.

What a disappointment.
Doesn't look that good graphically.
Another game starting woman like every single fucking new game from everyone.
And she looks like a man. And don't get me wrong, I loved tlou2 and Abby. She was a great character.
But fucking hell will any game ever fucking again star a cool dude ?! Like what the hell.

And this trailer was too long for just showing another woman unattractive binary character

Has anyone said it...

Fine I'll say it. Guardians of the woke galaxy!

MC had a girlfriend but she died in her porsche from a space car crash. Now she drives one & plays their favorite songs together on her Sony Walkman to remember her by. I can't wait for all the flashbacks as she hunts for the man who caused that space crash.

What happened to us? 10 years ago we wouldn't give a shit what color or sex the protagonist was. We'd just play til our fingers fall off and enjoy the gameplay :/

I feel like this forced woke stuff is way overdone. I think people are just really sick of it. I'm sick of it to be honest. It feels extremely forced and it's starting to become very distracting in games.

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.

Being a tough guy is universally loved. Even for women. Who knew. I thought being a meathead space marine is both outdated and dopey. Nope. It goes to show a portion of the population respects traditional guy traits.

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.

Of course Lalo will carry this. That's why he was cast. He's the charismatic anti hero bounty hunter.

In fact, I would not be surprised if he's a playable character. May even be more of a main character than the one in the trailer. We just don't know

But ND is known to feature multiple playable characters in their games

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.

I admit it is technically impressive but I have my principle and values and that is my choice. Right now Im not interested with the game, but its not final decision yet. Its wait and see for me. Probably might see this game 4 years from now or last year of life cycle of ps5 before we can judge its totality.

Wow, some people defending this character design, if this was a Bioware or Ubisoft game the hate would be 100%

Since this is a exclusive Sony game some people need to defend right

I guess console warriors still exist

In examining the line "This character's head is rounder than the planet," one must appreciate its vivid imagery and hyperbolic nature. The comparison employs an exaggerated metaphor, aiming to evoke a sense of humor and surrealism. It personifies a whimsical exaggeration, a technique often found in satirical or comedic literature, effectively painting a memorable and absurd picture.

However, when placed within the context of serious literary critique, the line may be seen as lacking the depth and nuance typically associated with works of classic literature. The simplicity and directness of the metaphor may come off as blunt rather than subtly profound. In the realm of high literature, such a comparison might be critiqued for its lack of subtlety and its reliance on an overtly humorous effect, which might not align with the more contemplative and layered approach found in the works of canonical poets.

Nevertheless, it is important to recognize the line's value in its intended context. It encapsulates a playful spirit and a modern, accessible approach to description. While it may not embody the complexity of a Donne or a Keats, it succeeds in engaging the reader through a clear, imaginative, and humor-infused image. The art of literature thrives on diversity of expression, and even the simplest lines can leave a lasting impact through their creativity and directness.
 
I feel that the whole synthwave retro 80s future disco pop cd-rom anime vhs style has been done to death since... 2010 or something that it looks incredibly forced and STUPID.

If this was done 15 years ago (even if it was done with the bald androgynous smelly bossy girl and all), I would be so hyped about it.
But now?

Meh.

What is it you're supposed to call this genre of game/film....like retro sci fi or something? Whatever its called, I find it incredibly pretentious and it bothers me whenever I see it for reasons I cant even articulate. I just dont like it at all. I guess you could say it just seems forced. Like the developers are screaming at you "See!? We're big nerds just like YOU!!! You like this right?!!! Ya big nerd, you!!"

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

This. Its somewhat amusing how they're riding off their Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Uncharted fame when most of the folks on those teams have left in some capacity.

They're trying hard to push it as some sort of quality assurance. Problem is, that "assurance" is only viable if the same talent who worked on those games is still there.

Feminism. Claims to despise "male gaze" verbally attacking creators who sell fictional female sex appeal to a largely hetero male audience, yet won't condemn prostitutes monetizing their sexuality actively contributing to societal wide "male gaze". A supremacy movement.

Completely fair.

My closing comment wasn't directed specifically at you.

Maybe once gameplay gets shown, it's as uninteresting as can be.
Hard to tell from a cinematic showing nothing.

Not just another man-girl lead, but you can tell it'll be another political game. Even the commander person she was talking was an old lady. No doubt this game will be brimming with more girl power. Just like Lou and horizon.

No offense but take me back to the actual 80s when women like this didn't even make it past the first audition. I saw one comment said she looks like a ninja turtle lol.

Or some people just don't care because they're not using her for spank bank material at our grown age. Why must everyone kneel to you guys as if you have any stature here or outside of this forum.
 
If this trailer was shown by a different studio, we will be all laughing at this. It is only saved by the fact ND is developing this, but everything looks so woke and uninteresting to me.

Where is TLOU3?

Yep 100%. No man in sight. Idk what they are thinking.
Most like 99% of non casual gamers are men. And all these studios fucking refuse to give them relatable and cool protagonists. Like you know… Nathan drake. Everyone would like to be Nathan drake. Not space lesbian.

And a totally one sided view too.

When it comes to feminism they sure lambaste sexuality among women.

But not once will you ever get guys in games or movies as unjustly too hunky or unrealistic compared to the avg dude.

The love it and make those good looking guys in games pixel petfect.

Did you work at ND? This is supposedly in game, so it doesn't take months to be made.

You think in 1 month they had a conversation about the election, saw the reaction to the results, decided to make a statement at The Game Awards, decided that the way do that is to add a head shaving sequence, get someone to mocap it, rig the model, model hair clippers, go through all the iterations, made it seamlessly blend into her receiving the call from her agent and finding her phone remote thing?

Yeah, now it's bald ugly lesbian girlbosses. Thank God for the East for giving me what I need in terms of design, aesthetics and gameplay.
 
After Uncharted 2, Naughty Dog had a blank cheque as far as I was concerned. Whatever they released, I'd buy it regardless of what the critics said. After the last of us 2, they lost that privilege. From what I've seen from that trailer, they're not on the road to getting it back.

What happened was Lou ii was still a big hit (though likely not as big as lou1) with girl power and 2020 brought on Floyd and blm.

So a shit ton of games and tv/movies went haywire skewing their media to a temporary cultural shift. 2023 and definitely 2024 laid the hammer down.

But too late to turn back unless they want to redo all the scripts, actors, Mo cap and voice recordings.
 
If the trailer had opened with the same chick brooding over the setting I may have dismissed it, but they chose to show a neon world with religious overtones only to be understood through suffering over a sailor moon anime shot the protagonist chose to watch.

I saw no bitch vibes from her other than being bald and a woman. Maybe give the character more than 30 seconds to make up our mind. Comparing this to wokeshit Concord vibes is insane.

People wanted a Sci Fi Naughty Dog game and finally there it is.
 
S.weaver was a good looking lady…and she looked good in the beginning of the first aliens,now that I look back on it,I'm semi shocked they gave her sorta skimpy underwear instead of grandma diaper underwear…… but they made her look completely different at some point of that movie because of the situation/circumstances.. there's an alien trying to butt fu%k her,she's battered,bruised,dirty, stressed A.F, tired as hell ect ect… you can put in prime bay watch Pam Anderson in that situation,and she's not gonna come out looking glam'd up by movies end…….. . . .sorry for the rant

Any man that's stupid enough to get gaslit into thinking his natural biological/psychological inclinations towards women are wrong deserves it. A societal wide shit test.

-Eyepatch lady's voice is way too young, makes the whole thing feel off
- main character doesn't look good aesthetically, the shaved head doesn't help
- the fact that every sci-fi piece of media has to copy the interior designs and aesthetics of Alien/s is beyond stale.
