[James Sawyer Ford]

Cyberpunk

An open world game set in a city that’s clearly not a third person space exploration title focusing on emotionally charged themes

Next

The bounty hunter thing has been done to death

Like?

No examples

Next

Space has recently been way, way overdone

It’s the least overdone setting in all of gaming practically. Literally any genre in post apocalyptic or mid evil settings are far more exposed

Next

We've heard Trent Reznor and Reznor wannabe soundtracks ad nauseum

Next

All the words in the dictionary aren't going to change how the game comes off, and it was a very, very poor showing.

Yeah I’m sure you’ll be jerking off in a closet crying yourself to sleep as it sells 10M+ and wins GOTY awards yet again for the studio

 

[Fabieter]

Starfield has none of the aesthetics or narration quality on display. The gameplay is also nowhere close to the same.

But it’s in outerspace therefore it’s the same!!

This a laughably bad, shallow take.

The point is you can make every game to look unique if you find enough bullet points for the game. And going by that starfield is really unique tho.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Will this game have intelligent alien species or are we doing Starfield again?

 

[Sethbacca]

Put it in my veins!

 

[Teh Chosen Juan]

Terrible main character design. Ugh.

what do you mean? ugly, non-euro descent (a.k.a. anything but a white person), masculine female. what's not to like! it ticks off all the boxes that make characters AWESOME!

 

[Varteras]

100% based on a dude pretending to be a woman. That thing has my dad's hips, hands, and probably balls.

 

[Fabieter]

I would love the intelligent alien species to fight humanity to free us from shitty DEI.

Does she have your dad's tits too?

Nah. My dad was flat as fuck. He stuffed his bra.

 

[tmlDan]

Nuff said

damn, she is ugly, you're right

 

[Fabieter]

damn, she is ugly, you're right

She actually looks like a female which is the point

 

[Boss Man]

Seeing this bald lesbian as the main character in a video game has completely upended all of my political beliefs. I used to think that only white men could be heroes, but now I know that people of all shapes and sizes are healthy and effective space marines. I wish I had voted for Kamala Harris now.

Thank you Naughty Dog for helping me to see the light with your powerful and insightful political message.

This forum is in danger of becoming the very thing it hates, just on the opposite end.

 

[Yoboman]

Just looked it up. 24k likes. 202 dislikes. There were one or two idiots calling it generic zombie slop but literally 99% of the reception was positive.

Intergallactica as we speak. 37k likes 64k dislikes on ND channel. 48k likes 76k dislikes on playstation channel.

Yeah we didn't have the concept of hate bombing YouTube likes in 2011 and gender culture wars then. It was still a mixed bag reaction, that only turned to full blown hype with the gameplay reveals

 

[Mister Wolf]

If they are a binary species as well they would likely laugh at us and then proceed to dupe us out of our valuables. We're supposed to be figuring out how to gain independence from this planet and you got people questioning "What is a woman?". Absolute fuckery.

It's been that way for a couple years at least.

“L4D clone”

Oh my how times have not changed with the comparisons being made in this thread

 

[tmlDan]

naw, she has a female body, could be trans with that face and good surgery

(if you cant tell im making fun of you)

You’re not banned, so no it’s not. Cults require censorship.

 

[Crayon]

No. That was just about to be gameplay in a few seconds lol.

 

[TGO]

It's hilarious this is 50 pages in like 20 hours... just checked TLOU2 story trailer thread, a whopping 3 pages.

Many of the anti-ND talking points remain utterly idiotic... but that's fine of course, if that's your opinion. But why is this 50 pages? It's just a teaser. Think about the first TLOU2 trailer. This like that is just an introduction to the vibe, that's it.

You're absolutely correct, I don't understand why this thread has so many pages when something like OniFuckingMisha's return has only 140 replies.
There is absolutely nothing worth talking about here other then "we know how this going to end" or " did they actually reuse Concords asset?"

Forum is in danger of having a consensus opinion you don’t like, you mean. You can push back against that by stating your dissenting opinion. Your metacommentary about the forum makes the discussion worse.

I hope this game has local co-op so I can play it together with my wife’s boyfriend.

 

[FunkMiller]

This is the most telling comment of all of those. Intergalactic also looks painfully generic in 2024 - but ND could well execute it brilliantly.

The question remains as to whether it's the same Naughty Dog in 2024 as it was in 2013...

 

[T-0800]

You’re not banned, so no it’s not. Cults require censorship.

I very much appreciate the fact we can have different opinions here but some people have gone full clown mode. You never go full clown mode. Some people here would have a meltdown if the original Terminator came out today.

 

[sendit]

Wrong. The model video game female should be Stellar Blade.

maybe some people just sensed a bad vibe?...

 

[Chuck Berry]

Very interested in this character

All I see is Robin Wright's character from BR2049

 

[Fake]

It’s going to sell like crazy and freaks are going to freak out.

Just like Concord.

I love how one of these has been posting in this very same thread as well.

 

[GermanZepp]

I'm sure that being a ND game has the highest production values. But I can't dig what they showed.

 

[Last Hearth]

I very much appreciate the fact we can have different opinions here but some people have gone full clown mode. You never go full clown mode. Some people here would have a meltdown if the original Terminator came out today.

Interesting that people are criticizing the game, but you, failing to defend the game, can only resort to criticizing them.

 

[Moses85]

ND is only a shadow of the past.

Ugly

Is it really that important for the main character to be a hot bombshell, or is the majority just overly horny?

So

 

[INNocence]

I don't understand what many of you crying about!? The game looks AMAZING!!!
And more of it - it's new ip! space! bounty hunters! WOW from me!!! It's the most anticipating game for me when New Fumita Ueda's game is next

 

[SlimySnake]

You're absolutely correct, I don't understand why this thread has so many pages when something like OniFuckingMisha's return has only 140 replies.

Thats because lets face it, no one gives a shit about Onimusha and ND is literally either the best or second best studio in the business after Rockstar.

People waited four long years to see a next gen only game from ND. They waited 11 years and two generations to see a new IP from ND. And all we got was a lame cutscene with one of the ugliest protagonist in recent memory, and graphics that arent blowing anyone away like they did back when they revealed Uncharted 4 for the first time.

 

[fallingdove]

1. Stylised space imagery derivative of Destiny.

Games set in space are derivative of Destiny?

1. Hot rod style spaceship derivative of No man's Sky and GotG

The ship doesn’t remotely give off a “hot rod” vibe. You’re stretching a bit.

1. Main female protag derivative of Ripley with derivative traits of other recent female game protagonists.

Ripley because she was also a female in space? For other recent female game protagonists, are you referring to Ellie, Alloy, Eve or Senua? They all seem pretty different to me but I guess they are all women… Again, stretching.

1. Ship interior aesthetic derivative of GotG

Or maybe 90% of space sci-fi movies in the 80s. Dirty future isn’t unique to GotG.

1. Colourful space jacket derivative of GotG

80s jackets aren’t unique to the handful of comics and the couple movies in the GotG series they appeared in.

1. Egregious Product placement derivative of GotG (Sony especially!)

Egregious? So one brand ok, two brands is a cardinal sin. And these brands are synonymous with the 80s.

1. Use of eighties music and aesthetic very derivative of GotG

80s music appeared in 1 GotG movie but I will concede that music in GotG was a central element to Star Lord.

Overall, you are really stretching.

[killatopak]

I am a very shallow person so everything in it appeals to me except for the bald protagonist.

I thought we left that in PS3/360 gen? At least allow her to grow her hair back or something similar to Witcher.

 

[mrqs]

Yeah we didn't have the concept of hate bombing YouTube likes in 2011 and gender culture wars then. It was still a mixed bag reaction, that only turned to full blown hype with the gameplay reveals

This is so, so funny. Maybe Intergalactic will be one of the best games ever made, just like The Last of Us is. Fingers crossed?

 

[RayBoy]

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

Hopefully their 2nd new IP or whatever their 2nd game is, is actually better appealing to the masses.

This just doesnt look like ND, we’ve had Guardians, Star Wars, concord with the same cues and it’s left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

 

[CompleteGlobalSaturation]

With a name like Jordan she's gonna turn out to be a he. Just like Lev in LOU2

They intentionally chose a unisex name for this butch lesbian of a character.

As cool as the game looks, the character is enough for me not to give ND a single dime.

 

[Fabieter]

naw, she has a female body, could be trans with that face and good surgery

(if you cant tell im making fun of you)

Bro the ND lead looks like a man, nothing female about her. Why even make a female character? And if they are so desperate to make a game for modern audiences than they should stop making AAA games because they deserve to fail with designs this shitty.

If they are a binary species as well they would likely laugh at us and then proceed to dupe us out of our valuables. We're supposed to be figuring out how to gain independence from this planet and you got people questioning "What is a woman?". Absolute fuckery.

Maybe those alien would just have mercy with us. It's also likely that they gonna be alot more advanced to they would likely already know how to deal with this nonsense.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Im sick of seeing and playing as frumpy, cunty androgynous women. Especially ones that reek of being designed during the Summer of Love 2020.

I think that reasoning is quite un-retarded.

What other games did you play a character like that?

 

[Stooky]

Yeah we didn't have the concept of hate bombing YouTube likes in 2011 and gender culture wars then. It was still a mixed bag reaction, that only turned to full blown hype with the gameplay reveals

This .....better times on this forum. Compared to this thread now looks like mud butt. yet im still here.

[Ironman_Bad]

I prefer women with long hair. This does not appeal to me at all and I am guessing it's the same for lots of gamers.

I definitely prefer my women in real life to have long hair..err she looks great for a video game girl lol
