For me if you took out the characters I’d still laughing at this.
‘claim him or I will find another agent’
‘you’re the boss’
It’s just hammy dialogue yet again from a PlayStation first party studio.
The brand advertising is just completely whack and if this was Microsoft inserting products in to their games everyone would be pissing themselves laughing.
Intergalactic the heretic prophecy brought to you by Porsche and Adidas.
Has a lovely ring to it.

Naughty Dog is working on more than 1 game. This is only being made by 250 people within their studio. The have other games in development.
My guess is we'll get TLOU3 towards the end of the generation, cross gen'd with PS6.
No chance GTA6 is delayed at this point.

It's sad to see adult triggered and salty because the protagonist of a video game is a bald non white athletic woman. Why are you bringing morals to that ? What's immoral ? If the game has an interesting gameplay, design, story I might buy it. If not I won't. However I will not cry because the protagonist is not a dude fantasy doll or something.
There's games like Stellar Blade for that and it's cool. However I'm not feeling threatened at all and I don't understand why so many young men are angry when any protag is not a manly dude or some kind of fantasy doll. I like interesting protagonists and to me there's much more than skin color/haircut to decide. Many video games are badly written though, that's not new and it was already the case before any diversity came through.

Interesting. Although, they have missed the opportunity to include the wheelchair bound folk. Make the lead character wheelchair bound, with gadgets being part of the chair. Ability to upgrade the chair as the game progresses. New rims, neon lights, gun attachments etc.

TLOU2 has killed TLOU1 story / world / characters. TLOU1 IP still has tons of potential. Just erase all the political / woke nonsense of TLOU2 and get back to the realistic post-apocalyptic TLOU1 world / characters. With Joel this time, you know, the main character of the story.
Looks good. Looking forward to playing it whenever the fuck it comes out.
That's 100% it. Absolutely miserable people.

Dreamworks-face buzzcut gal gets briefed by eyepatch woman who says “fucking” a lot, while watching female hero cartoons on a screen so small they don’t even make them anymore irl and selecting… CDs? On a spaceship in a future where she goes robo hunting with not-exactly-lightsabers?
Are people… really… like, seriously excited by this stuff?

Yap, you're right. Even in Alien 3 Ripley goes bald too.
I got immediately thrown away into Guardians of the Galaxy because the 80's music too.

Many of my circles are from people who are into games, movies, etc. None of the women in them ever expressed tastes that suggest interest in bald space lesbians.
The characters they are into however include: FFXV's party, characters from cultivator novels, characters from BL or quasi-BL mangas, Link.

Just watched the trailer, and now we get ND’s space game. Their animators and artists are incredible. My heart goes out to the kids that wanted a plastic anime doll to dress up and play with, as she looks too realistic for them.
Dig the look of the ship, and I was all in on that planet - right up to when the big generic robot thing pops up out of the ground and that’s when I was reminded that it’s a videogame.
Looking really good though.

As a fan of Cowboy Bebop and retro future style I think setup is good but not conviced by last kinda gameplay scene. Blade fight ? And also looks little cartoony ? But its ND so probably will be very good. Would prefer lou 3 but still interested.

I actually need to watch Cowboy Bebop to understand the comparisons. I've never seen it referenced so much as the past few hours.

You're right, anybody can like or not like a character design that's totally fine. But many's are full angry "100% woke shit" anytime the protag is a not a stereotyped very good looking woman or a dudebro. I think diversity of characters is important, from impossibly gorgeous to atypical or even "ugly". Having all protag "beautiful" (or all "ugly") would be boring and bland. But overall, interesting protagonists should not be tied to just their look (for narrative games at least).

Even bros in the hood that are literally hobosexual(so poor they are homeless so they gotta fuck uggos to have place to stay) prefer hunting 200lbs+ whales than bald females

True, it's Square Enix's game that throws 80's themes into the mix.

Whole ND is big on DEI, bro, ofc their games gonna drop in quality, and hard, DEI isnt only pushing woke agenda in the game, its hiring lower quality devs on top only coz color of their skin or what is between their legs, ofc it will produce games of worse quality with such aproach

I forgot about that game. It's been a while and I may need to return to platinum it soon.

EEEEEEEEEWWWWWW. I couldn't feel anything for the main character. The rest looks excellent.

I know it's early, but I'm interested to see how the game does. I feel like TLoU2 was pretty divisive in terms of fan reception, and this game definitely isn't doing itself any favors in terms of the character design. ND had to have had some sort of inkling that the reception was going to be like this and probably disabled the comments for that reason.

U nerfing hot woman by making her bald, bro, whats ur point, ofc women with no hair look much worse, all heterosexual men know it, its like u linked a pic to fat but famous bilionaire, ofc women will fuck him even tho he is fat, but give him 6pack and muscless, then do comparision, that will make them actually arrousedYour loss
Here good comparision, one of hottest actresses from back in the day, demi moore, bald vs proper hair, difference is humongous:

People on Twitter are not liking it for the same reasons. Also gameplay kinda looked a bit like Stellar Blade to me.
But who wants to play Stellar Blade with an ugly character representing a tiny minority of the gamers? This is not going to be a hit, a half-flop at the very least (it's still a Naughty dog game). But man when you think they were making Jak & Daxter, Uncharted and TLOU1 not so long ago... what happened?

We all know what happened.
I bought U4 back in 2016 day one.
TLOU Part 2 in 2020 day one.
I was really excited for their next project , willing to buy it again day one but unfortunately they lost me here big time.
Thank God Asian studios still know how to design good looking characters.
Na, sony doesn't need funding from sony for pet shop boys and CD players. It's just showing an 80's vibe with things that were big in the 80's most likely, including those Adidas shoes.

But the character really isn't bald,she just has a shaved head.An actress with a natural ability to fit with any interesting hairstyle:

And then they roll out this shit

Sony has been indoctrinated up the wazoo, same as Microsoft.

80's sci fi was cheesy as hell, heck, you must have seen Kung Fury, that is a parody of 80's Kung Fu and fantasy and also has loads of cheesy lines (deliberately done)
Edit: forgot one important one because this game may be taking some inspiration from it

Writes a lot, says very little
I love the 80s/90's art direction and aesthetic regarding the ships UI and the materials in the ship, from the tube tv, to the retro Sony CD Changer to the Adidas hi tops even the ending cut out with the CTR distortion was such a nice touch.
With the main character changing her appearance in the opening, I'm not sure if she is being hunted or doing the hunting, but I love the opening that adds that mystery.

Respect. but I don't even know if people like that even get all those references and what those design choices are, some on here didn't even fucking know the design happening within a lot of what we saw from that trailer has nothing to fucking do with shit happening now, those are literally designs from decades ago.
but if they don't know (like...don't actually understand anything about design or art), they'll not see the references or nods to those classics.
Not everyone gets all that and this thread shows a fuck ton of people who seem to be either new to Sci-fi from that time frame or simply don't actually know much about design or something (or both)
