Naughty Dog Announces Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet

Because it's a personal opinion and it seems like Tati Gabrielle doesn't look right in digital form, assuming Naughty Dog didn't actually modify her proportion. Some people probably don't look right as a semi realistic digital character.

An actress with a natural ability to fit with any interesting hairstyle:

Mix feelings for me.

On one part, it's a Naughty Dogs game so it'll look great, will have tons of style and details and probably some decent story and good game-play and music.

Few things from the trailers felt out of place to me though: Porsche spaceship? get outta here, it's lame. I also didn't like the small fighting scene, I wish you would fight something else than robots (you probably will) and the one they showed is so generic. Don't care much for the main character look, we just don't know enough yet and the story is more important. The rest was just, i don't know, kinda meh. Are we going for an Alien kind of vibe or Guardian of the Galaxy kind of vibe, couldn't tell watching the trailer. Hopefully the game has its own personality and is good.

Also, do you remember the Uncharted 4 reveal with Nate waking on the beach, that was a holy shit moment. Remember that room at E3 that looked like the room where Ellie and Dina are dancing...that was a holy shit moment. I don't know man, it's a NEW game from Naughty Dogs and they chose to reveal it during TGA with a basic trailer. Weird.
 
Ethnically ambiguous lesbian main character must do well in focus groups or something.
Exactly. How many people are going to connect with this woman?

It's not only about uglyness or the fact that she is a lesbian or maybe trans. Does she look fun to play ? Black myth: Wukong main character looks ugly (and is not even a human), but it looks fun to play!

She is a supporting actress is all of the movies she's done. That makes sense as for me she doesn't have the charisma and charm and looks for a MC. Hollywood sees this and the proof is in the pudding.
She is a perfect side kick with a limited screen presence. MC?
You can't fool me , ND. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Insecure grown "men" cries about a video game trailer because the protagonist is a bald athletic woman. It's so sad that every game is now judged by its supposed "wokeness" first... Don't worry, you'll still wank to Lea Seydoux in DS2. Oh wait she has short hair...
What specifically makes that "sad"? Help me understand. I'm getting the sense the people defending this gritty fecal sediment ND called a trailer are just ultra consumers. Willing to throw away their own interests and morals for more sweet sweet video game consumption. Turned their heads at the slop trough and noticed some people weren't happily slurping and got all butt hurt. "If you guys don't appreciate your slop then we might get no slop at all!"

Meh, not impressed, cool graphics and music, doesn't seem like something i will enjoy. Couldn't they think of a more attractive main lead though? like really it doesn't hurt you to make it for once.
Also not a big fan of Naughty Dog games in general, they tend to put most of their budget on the movie and forget about creative and fun gameplay or game/world design.
 
I like the 80s sci-fi tone, but given that there was no real gameplay in this trailer and knowing it's Neil Druckmann in control means I have next to no interest at the moment.

This is coming out next year. Game has been in development since 2020. They don't reveal games early anymore.

I doubt it comes out next year.

Very crowded year. Most of the industry is going to move to avoid GTA6 and as a result 2026 is going to be crowded too.

But Sony already has Marathon, Ghost, and Death Stranding slated to come out next year. A lot of games to navigate around GTA6 already.

You probably have Marathon and Death Stranding in the Summer, and Ghost in the Winter as you avoid fall.

My guess is Intergalactic will drop summer after next.

Dude, if I am going out and buying a painting I like out of 20 others and hang it in my room, doesn't mean I want to fuck it.
Stop with this extremist nonsense.
People want attractive MC's in their entertainment and its their right to refuse a product. Doesn't make them incels or whatever stupid names you people give them.
If you enjoy the MC, good for you , I respect that and I am not calling you names . Do the same please.

My friend, can we stop with the personal insults?
Learn to separate real life from fantasy.
I'm sorry I mocked someone who literally didn't know what a woman looked like.

You're right, it's not like around half the planet's population are women. They could be extremely rare around where he lives.

It's time to stop derailing and concentrate on discussing another Naughty Dog game. Zero bad games in 30 years of Playstation [I never played any of their games pre Crash Bandicoot so I can't add more years to it]. I'm hyped to see a gameplay section now.

So they’re putting a space/futuristic skin on their game now. First the Tomb Raider rip off, zombie game, and now futuristic.

Hopefully the gameplay is different so it doesn’t feel like I’m playing the same game every time.

Just watched again. Oh god the CD jukebox and red jacket. Naughty Dog always wore their influences on their sleeve a bit much, but do we really need ANOTHER Guardians of the Galaxy tribute? What was Sony planning with this and Concord? Any chance they're in the same universe?.... What a shit show. Beyond the worst case scenario imo.

Seems like an ambitious shift compared to The Last of Us.

Felt a lot like a Guardianette of the Galaxy. The 80's vibe, the jacket, the ship.

As for the main character, well, I don't know how these western developers think this is appealing to the audience.

Cautiously optimistic.

Escalation, insults, trolling
None of the women i know like this kind of design. I seriously have no idea who they're trying to pander here, must be some hollywood/california thing.
Yeah very believable .. in the space of a few hours you surveyed all the women you know to ask them this LOOOOL

Cry man ,, aint changing shit

Man even the music. Is it imossible to have a sci fi game without that early 80s mall sound kit? The "painfully generic and derivative" is outpacing the "woke" for me.

Or at least be more creative, those "you never got laid/women aren't interested in you" insults are exactly what i assume bullish maga 15yo morons would say.

ND is running out of time though. Pro is already out and we have 3 years left for a new generation. I think GTA 6 will be delayed.

Let's see.

It's cute that Guardians is your first movie, but no... this motif dates back to Alien, Akira, and Cowboy Bebop.

That you think the red jacket is from Guardians is so funny to me.

The red jacket was made popular by Rebel without a Cause. It's been played up across media for decades...

What morals does this trailer have you throwing away. Holy. Fuck.
