Real question. Why does it matter? You're that annoyed that it's a bald bad ass chick? I honestly don't understand the issue. These are video games. I can name so many ganes that don't even give real representation options for so many people and people either skip it or just play it.
I need to also remember the internet is not real life and definitely isn't a voice for the majority. It's a trailer with no gameplay and we already have this much discourse?

It doesn't matter. They will be cautious. What matters is that they make girls identify with her and embrace masculinity. This game will lead more vulnerable girls down a path of medicalisation.

I hope not.

Factions 2 would have been perfect as there’s little opportunity for story telling.

It's virtue signaling in the extreme.
Game looks cool, I'm sure it'll be great and it will really bother a ton of people. Boo hoo.

Between the main actress of tsushi 2 and this chick
It looks like sony is playing a weird match of "gotta catch 'em all" with all the weird looking bitches in the showbiz uh??!
Fairly sure that we are gonna get the skinny goblin from the wicked musical to impersonate miles in panderman 3
Hopefully they didn't get rid of their outstanding human viloence tech to let me fight generic ass robots in space, gimme human enemies that i can eviscerate aswell.

Putting aside not particularly likeable protag, there just wasn't anything interesting in this trailer. Nothing interesting happened in it, at all. Graphics is same as we have seen for years now. The only interesting thing was the music by Reznor (I assume). That is really not enough for a closer of a show like this.
Also, the name is bad. They should have just kept it Intergalactic, the subtitle is lame.

Why?
A shaved head makes perfect sense in military, prison, a hippy camp or to demonstrate that you are the male part in a relationship.

I remember people complaining about Jack when she was first shown, but she turned out to be one of the best characters in the Mass Effect series.

Oh boy. Not feeling that at all. Didn't realise Naughty Dog were making Concord's single player campaign.
This feels like Naughty Dog was annoyed that people were laughing at their "We don't use the word Fun" non-sense and decided to prove everyone wrong... by creating a Super Fun Retro Game®! Except, they clearly can't. This felt pretty sterile to me - very design by committee. The charm, fun, authenticity, or originality that made 90s anime work is kinda completely absent here. From the actual title, to the music, to the overall presentation, this seems to be utterly devoid of creativity or originality. This is closer to Rebel Sky than Guardian's of the Galaxy in terms of quality. For an announcement trailer, this feels on par with Concord and Veilguard. And that... ain't good.
Worth noting, this will be Naughty Dog's first new IP without Bruce Straley being involved since he helped get Uncharted together. He brought a lot of heart and warmth to all of his games - something that's clearly missing here.

Aren't the radical left all about censorship cancellation? I don't think anyone here is demanding this game be banned, are they?

This middle aged woman isn't going to be running around getting in and out of spacesuits bounty hunting with an energy sword around the galaxy, is she.Why?

No, she's going to spend a relatively sedate 6 months in a zero gravity space station looking at plants and shitting in a bag before coming back to Earth and resuming her life as a real human woman.

No matter how much you wish it would happen, sorry to break it to you, but this Game is going to slap, and slap hard. Yeah, I know we haven’t seen much yet, but guess what? I’m already hyped out of my mind just imagining the gameplay footage. Can’t wait to rub it in when it blows everyone away.

This site can be embarrassing at times, same shit happened with Ghost of Yotei, well done, even if totally expected, and by the usual people also (and some new ones crawling out of the woodwork)
(amazing looking character (it literally looks like the voice actress, this looks as good as anything in the Secret Level and this is supposedly realtime), amazing art direction/aesthetic (80's sci-fi, love it (also, thats why there is product placement, 80's films did it all the time)), amazing graphics in general, awesome music choice for the 80's vibe, but no, some on GAF have to throw the 'she looks ugly' (bullshit), 'game is woke' (also bullshit until we know we literally know fuck all just like Ghost of Yotei), 'graphics dont look as good as UE' (bullshit, show me a UE5 game on PS5 that looks better, and you know this will run smooth as hell), 'it looks like Concord' (seriously? get your eyes checked, other than the 80's vibe they couldnt be any different) etc etc etc ad nauseam)

That’s Naughty Dog we’re talking about. Do you really think she’s a cancer patient? Of course she’s gay.

I hope no woke game gets banned. You can get a lot of entertainment value from social media and streamers and places like gaf ripping it for laughs.

This is exactly what Concord devs said to other devs at Sony.

My posts about this kind of thing speak for themselves. I'm not woke deranged, but I can recognize it for what this is.
What some people did to Druckmann and ND when Part 2 leaked was truthfully pathetic and disgusting. I have criticisms, and strong ones of that games plot (Lev'a story was ridiculous and a lesser rehash of the Joel-Ellie dynamic) but the response was overboard.
What I find nuts is that ND seems to have designed this to piss off "all the right people". Ethnically ambiguous and buff woman with a shaved head? Product placement up the wazoo for something supposedly set thousands of years in the future? Come on.

Just woke up and I see a 21 Page ND thread. 
Oh boy this gonna be a wild ride!
What I'll say is that I love that my man Lalo from BCS will be in this new ND game!

This is 80's sci-fi, anything is possible
(I have watched loads of 80's sci fi, big budget, small budget, I was born in the 70's so I grew up with that stuff, it was cheesy, it had bad effects (well, some good for the time but they look terrible now mostly), they were brightly coloured, and yes, product placement everywhere bad jokes, even worse hairstyles, but many awesome in their own right (the films that is, not the hairstyles))

Just watched the trailer....
ND lost the plot.
What the fuck is that main character? Abomination. Who gave Lev from TLOU2 its own game?
First ND game I am not buying.

I don't care about how attractive she is, to be honest. I care that it feels like the same old character design with the same old personality that we've seen countless times before. In the same aesthetic, with the same tone that we've also seen countless times.
I am massively disappointed by how tired this all feels for a ND project.

I doubt this game will do as well as Lou ii. And I don’t think louii did as well as lou i. A new IP is hard enough to get ramped up successful.
Getting off on a bad foot (YT dislikes already up there) isn’t a good sign.
They could get away with all the lbgt and Joel getting killed with louii due to it being a highly rated franchise and anticipated sequel.
But good luck pulling that off with a new IP

The CD player was awesome.
Don't like the main character at all, but the eye patch woman was pretty fun and retro.
Adidas and Porsche..
But it's a ND game so I'll definitely check it out.

And you think the radical right is immune to partake in online harresment, boycott campaigns and tone-deaf slandering? Oh you sweet summer child.

Congrats to those who are excited I am too but tbh I'd much rather have got Part 3 sooner than this.
Naughty Dog thrive at grounded and intense storytelling for me.

The product placement is directly linked to the retro vibe. Logos and companies big in the 80s (and still somewhat relevant today).
