you're starting to see games that obviously begun development in 2020-2021 in a different cultural zeitgeist come out and it is hilarious. And considering the employee make up of these studios, it's not like they can change them before or after announcement.

Oh, right, that, guess I was wrong then, although, wonder if its like other Naughty Dog games that can change part way through (is the whole game set on that one planet or do we get to see other planets later on, my guess is this will be another very big/lengthy game)
A little more to do with what you posted:

"Takes inspiration from classic anime like the 1988 movie Akira and the 1990s series Cowboy Bebop"
Not enough imo.

The backlash The Last of Us Part II received online was one of the worst in gaming history and it still managed to sell over 15M copies (based on leaks).
How the everyday consumer feels is different than the small gaming community online.
If gamers were overly concerned about "attractive" female characters, then Steller Blade and Bayonetta would sell 5-8 million copies in the first 12 months, but they don't.

They could have used any one of them and GaF would still attack the game with claims of the character being ugly.
It can't be helped.
What anyone things is ugly or not is subjective anyways
So if ND used anyone one of theses ladies, you would just get a thread of people saying its an agenda to make the character ugly
I don't even know if we have 1 character where everyone in GaF 100% agrees is attractive lol

Gaf never changes…
As opposed to the fanboys who cheer for anything and don't anything any critical thought?

In this case, why would they change it though? just because SW: Outlaws didnt do well? This seems like a very different game (and as usual from some Naughty Dog games, seems to be for more mature audiences, I'd bet its a violent game like TLoU, its already got swearing in the trailer, wouldnt put it past them to have nudity also, possibly even sex scenes again, they dont shy away from them)

Sounds like they should be out trying to meet women instead of gaming if they’re that desperate.U do realise over 60% of young men are single, 30% of them are either virgins or didnt have sex in a year, that is huge demographic devs abandoning if they abandoning young men as their target audience

Thats how ppl thought of concord characters and we know how it turned out, ofc its ND and it wont be 25k copies sold worldwide, but i wonder if its gonna sell good or not, so far they didnt show anything that gets me hyped, and showed tons that makes me disgusted so no buy here

She should’ve pulled out! She has done irrevocable damage to the gaming industry, with each aggressively charged estrogen thrust.

game obviously has some DEI influence again.
i'm a little bored with all the "bald strong female character" games. cant she just have hair and look beautiful AND be cool looking?
the game itself looks OK. but nothing i would want from naughty dog.
a skip for me most likely.
and that is fine, i am looking forward more to Witcher 4, Onimusha and Mafia.
Project Century from RGG also looked interesting.

Looks like Naughty Dog is making their version of a Cowboy Bebop. That being my favorite anime I’m really looking forward to seeing gameplay from this one.

That's a very problematic character design, oof.Interesting looking by that that name sucks. Makes it sound like a localized eastern European sci-fi RTS full of jank.

That trailer does nothing to "abandon young men". Unless you consider playing as a women of color, woke. People that are saying it is woke is just due to bigotry. Are 60% of young men bigots? NoU do realise over 60% of young men are single, 30% of them are either virgins or didnt have sex in a year, that is huge demographic devs abandoning if they abandoning young men as their target audience

I'll repeat, the main character literally looks like the voice actress and the clothing is proper 80's sci-fi styled
Unless you think Tati Gabrielle is ugly, in which case, thats your opinion, I guess, its certainly not mine

Bro, 90 if not 95% western women are un-mariageable nowadays, feminist mindset, princess mentality, they are barely good enough to pump and dump with bodycounts that could put john wick to shame, and with all that trauma and baggage is even worse
U want young naive men to get fucked over by those women? Come on, im from eastern europe and its already here not what it used to be before smartphones/dating apps(so 20years ago), but in the west young/avg guy stands no chance, why u think OnlyFans is so popular, those poor(literally too) young blokes are desperate af and with no chance for anything, i dont even mean longterm relationship, they cant even get a box

Ya fucked up, Naughty Dog.
Yeah the dislike reporting tool does not show you actual numbers from Youtube .. its madeup numbers they think the video will have based of other people who have used the tool to downvote
Its been shown that these tools are off by a very large margin

Yeah, just like the PS5 Pro reveal, yet still selling well.
Online isn't real life. One day you'll pick up on that. This game is going to be a lot more difficult for a certain crowd to railroad. It's going to grade well and its going to get a massive marketing campaign, and its going to sell well...
I'm sorry for your loss.

How many actual main characters are even this though? You have more characters that are not this, then actually this tbh
Also she can have no hair and look beautiful and cool looking as all of that is a subjective opinion.
As in, I can say I think she looks cool, looks pretty etc without hair...
how? lol what if the narrative of the game has the character altering their appearance cause they are wanted by authorities or something?
So no game is allowed to have that as a story line? No people in the military in games either? lol

Here is character “combat ready” without needing to be bald or ugly….I'm not asking much here.
I guess in western devs eyes that’s too “immature” whatsever the fuck that means.
She’s ugly as hell tho with dead eyes. Jordan Mun is hot. It’s not that you’re asking for much, you’re asking for the wrong thing.
The mental gymnastics behind character appearance will always be weird because people will say “X character is ugly” and then post shit like this lol

Dude, I am a 45 year old mid at best chonky dude in the process of leaving a 10 year relationship. I had a date last weekend, I have one next weekend, just from girls I’ve met going out to shows with my friends. I have other options in the pipeline. I am able to do this because I don’t have the personality of a wet paper bag and I don’t worry about all the incel bullshit you dudes are on here espousing. Some real LDE shit.Bro, 90 if not 95% western women are un-mariageable nowadays, feminist mindset, princess mentality, they are barely good enough to pump and dump with bodycounts that could put john wick to shame, and with all that trauma and baggage is even worse

I mean, she also a cartoon lol I get the whole bald thing, but seriously...stop using the term "ugly" like an obejctive thing as if ND listed it in the game as some requirement, that is like me saying "I don't get why Anime must have purple hair and need to be ugly" and then show some anime character lol
Look at Real's comment..
^ This is like Real repeating that their opinion is a fact when later talking about Anime (I'm sure Realwords btw gets what they are saying is a subjective opinion) ,but do you see how odd it would be for them to later make a statement that makes it seems as if their opinion of something is now an objective bullet point?
GOSH ,sigh, I don't get why Japan needs to make them ugly with dead eyes, its like they hate pretty eyes, like their goal is ugly. I don't know what they must design with the character to be ugly and dead eyes to be strong....
You don't see how fucking weird that then starts to sound? lol
This is just my observation on this.

Here's my take from the info we do know....
She's a bounty hunter, looks like she is chasing down someone (played by Kumail Nanjiani) who has gone down to this planet Sempiria.
She knows this planet is hostile, no-one has returned from it, we see her shaving her head before she goes to the planet, looks like she is preparing for the worst
Guessing she may crash land on the planet so is stranded there, probably with the person she is chasing down along with whatever other hostiles are on that planet
All guess work for now until we know more of course

And the ugly woman defense force has come to the rescue! Guess you are still thirsty after Concord and Star Wars Outlaws
A lot of those social media and public photos of women in the IDF and US army are psyops stuff to get people to join.
Look at the likes of
Kristen Griest https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristen_Marie_Griest
Or Shaye Haver https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaye_Lynne_Haver
A female shaved head in the army is pretty normal.
Joining the IDF is compulsory. Psyops, lol.

I mean, I don't think she's ugly though lol
My opinion is she looks pretty.
Don't know what Concord or Star Wars got to do with anyone of this lol
I also never bought Concord as...I think you spend too muck fucking time assuming shit about people on here vs playing games..

Main character aside, even the first enemy shown looks bland - robot enemy with red glowing eyes, how novel….
Good luck to Sony turning this into a new cross-media IP, by the time they turn this into a series or movie it will look even more out of place than today.
