Our only hope is choosing which character to complete your missions with.

You know if you don't like it then you can go to REE and participate in their circlejerk.

Oh y'all got plenty of snakes in the grass here who frequent both forums. They only act out here because of "freedom of speech." That forum isn't as hated as you think here.

It would be better to make sure the mc is actually female before doing that snarky remark.

No one gives a shit what the mc gender is
If the story and gameplay is solid , that's all that matters

 

[Kacho]

I was worried I’d have FOMO from selling my PS5 this summer once Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch’s new games got announced, but I’m relieved now

Dude, what? Why'd you sell your PS5? I thought you were a hardcore Sony bro. You PC only now?

 

[Lionel Richie]

She looks like a Ninja Turtle.

 

[nkarafo]

People are crying about the look of the protagonist. lol

Imagine if Jack Mass Effect or Ripley from Aliens was revealed in 2024, people would be crying woke.

And whose fault is that?

 

[Balducci30]

Dunno why people are tripping this looked pretty rad to me, 80’s scifi vibe which is my jam.

My only potential issues are - is this a sword vs robots type game? I don’t love that. And a bit weird to see Kumail Nanjiani literally in the game with his real face.

Their animation continues to be second to none

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

ND will pull this off.

they didn´t with TLoUP2. I hope there are new people on the narrative team.

 

[yogaflame]

Especially with new political climate and culture coming up in USA, this game will be killed and flop if they dont change the character design and if they plan to include some twisted woke agenda stuff. Right now im not interested. Sony was saved by Asia developers. West is killing Sony studio with force agenda.

 

[lh032]

main character design is AWFUL, i have a bad feeling about this new IP.

And product placement, i think the budget must be ridiculous for this new IP

 

[Topher]

Initial hatewave aside it looks fresh and sounds amazing.

ND will pull this off.

Think you are right. Looks like a bounty hunter space game. I'll take that in a heartbeat.

 

[Interfectum]

Are there a lot of lesbian females playing games i don’t know about? They seem to be the target demographic for AAA games now.

Sword fighting game in third person made by ND? Day 1.

Some people in here really need to take their heads out of their asses.
What would you rather have? Days Gone Remastered?

 

[GHG]

That main character...

Right now this is firmly in the hard pass category.

 

[DForce]

And whose fault is that?

It goes to show you just how sensitive gamers have become over the years.

 

[Astray]

It would be much simpler to let people create their own fucking characters in this day and age... Just, nothing like that Veilguard fuck shit.

God no.

Literal deal-breaker for me in most games that do it.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Jesus Christ the number of tender souls who can't handle a female character with short hair and a realistic body. Grow Up.

Another bigot. How do you know it is female?

BLOG POST

We're back! You have been dying to know what's next for us, and I'm thrilled to finally be able to answer: Naughty Dog's next game is Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, currently in development for the PlayStation 5 console. We've been working on this brand-new adventure since 2020! This game is shaping up to be our wildest, most creative story yet. If you haven't already, check out the announcement trailer.

Intergalactic stars our newest protagonist, Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. In fact, anyone who's flown to it hoping to unravel its mysterious past was never heard from again. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.

Beyond that, we're keeping everything about the story under wraps – at least for now. What we can tell you is that this game lives up to the Naughty Dog tradition of creating an emotional, character-driven epic journey. Our narrative goals are rivaled only by our gameplay ambitions. This will be the deepest gameplay in Naughty Dog's history, taking our learnings from our previous franchises and pushing them beyond anything we've ever done before.

Jordan is played by the talented Tati Gabrielle, who leads a stellar cast (pun intended!). Eagle-eyed players might spot some of the other cast members in the trailer. We'll reveal more of our ensemble down the line.

Our incredible voyage into the cosmos also needs an equally incredible soundtrack. As tremendous fans of their work, I'm excited to announce our collaboration with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross who'll be scoring Intergalactic! The guys are cooking, and the trailer is just a small tease of their work for the game.

We know you're eager for more – and trust us, we're very eager to share more with you. For now, though, it's time to put our heads back down and keep cranking away on Jordan's adventure.

On behalf of the entire team at Naughty Dog, thank you to all our fans! Your support allows us to work on our dream games, bringing these wonderful new worlds and characters to life. We can't wait to show you more!

See you on the other side,

Neil Druckmann

Naughty Dog Studio Head

Announcing Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a new franchise From Naughty Dog​

Explore a whole new world from the studio behind The Last of Us, Uncharted, and more.

lets go bitches

Wish I could be actually excited, but Druckmann makes it so hard. It feels so insanely thematically outdated already, like it should have released in 2021 or something.

But I have no doubt gameplay is going to be out of this world. And as for the characters, I think I got the eye-patched lady:

Naughty Dog 100%. The one-eyed lady looks like Halley Gross.

Was it ever active? - that's the real question.

What would you rather have? Days Gone Remastered?

I'd rather have something that feels like it's fresh, rather than something that seems chocked full of a lot of tropes we've seen over and over again in gaming in recent years.

 

[Astray]

Think you are right. Looks like a bounty hunter space game. I'll take that in a heartbeat.

Derek Strickland described it perfectly imo

 

[Bernardougf]

So just because the main character is a female some of the brainless people here automatically start calling it woke, like what! Didn't we have female characters in the past?!
Bunch of fucking crybabies, you haven't even seen what the gameplay or what the story is all about

Lol after TLOU2 giving Cuckman and ND the benefit of the doubt about "wokeness" is precious...

 

[LordOcidax]

WOKE shit

 

[Topher]

Derek Strickland described it perfectly imo

Yep. Nailed it

 

[Saber]

Are you fucking serious? Are you already backstepping on your dumb remark about women? Lmfao

If they are so brave, why disable comments? I can't wait to see that like ratio!

 

[Jaybe]

Dude, what? Why'd you sell your PS5? I thought you were a hardcore Sony bro. You PC only now?

Concord’s May showcase plus no big game announced in that showcase killed my interest in supporting them. (I’ll admit Astrobot looks better than I had anticipated it would be). Been playing Steam deck since the summer and older my older desktop gaming PC as well. What’s your platform?

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

The thing I don’t understand is why do their female characters have to always look so masculine. If they want that look why not just use a guy? lol it’s so strange but it’s ND so I am confident the game will be good

 

[JaksGhost]

I can see the Cowboy Bebop vibes mixed with a Hotline Miami soundtrack.

 

[Vick]

Yep. Nailed it

Looks like Druckman didn't pay attention to how well space lesbians worked out for Star Wars.

 

[cebri.one]

Awesome trailer. Another Goty incoming.

Why are snowflakes intimidated by women?

Show me the like/dislike ratio loooool

 

[Neolombax]

Dont like the protagonist, doesnt seem likeable, dont like the design either. Wished there was gameplay shown.

 

[Fake]

[Mister Wolf]

Yeah, if it was a white male everybody would be pumping it up. Plus, people calling her ugly are out of their mind. They must think any chick with a shaved head is ugly. The actress is very attractive IRL, as she is in the video game

How about we just get a woman not cosplaying as a man.

 

[digital_ghost]

Looks interesting. No year given, probably a bit off.

ND said in secret development since 2020 so maybe 2025.

Knowing Naughty Dog this game will be a graphical showpiece for ps5.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

lol it’s so strange but it’s ND so I am confident the game will be good

I'm giving this gif a real workout tonight

 

[Danjin44]

I'm no gonna call this "woke" I dont think it is but I'm NOT fan of the main character especially when they opened trailer 80s anime, with good looking characters but then actual character looks so unappealing.

Derek Strickland described it perfectly imo

I these days most of sci-fi trying to be Guardian of Galaxy, we even saw that with Concord.

 

[nick776]

So generic and expected from neil wokemann

I am not sure who will find an uglyfied girlboss protag appealing?

Why are western developers trying so hard to push some kind of message? I still dont get their message in fact.

Girls should act like guys, all gruff up and doing sexual things with my fellow girls?

I guess our only hope at this point is Nintendo and what games they produce for Switch 2. They really can't screw up Mario, Zelda and Samus, CAN THEY? I sure hope not. This shit ND just pushed out is awful.

 

[Frwrd]

God no.

Literal deal-breaker for me in most games that do it.

Can definitely agree to some extent, not all games can pull it off, some games or perhaps most games achieve legendary status thanks to it's protagonist.
This one though... Eeehhhh, we'll see. Nothing against an awful looking protagonist, that seems to be the norm nowadays... Knowing who's behind it all, it just feels so--ah fuck it nvm.

 

[Griffon]

Jesus Christ the number of tender souls who can't handle a female character with short hair and a realistic body. Grow Up.

I actually would prefer if she actually looked like a female. If realism is your argument, then her muscular arms are completely unrealistic, unless you're into roided up trans-men.

Me I don't care, she's just looks unappealing and stereotypical woke-trash.

 

[Cre8]

The discussion of ND Intergalatic on Gaf will be epic from now until release day.

 

[Topher]

If they are so brave, why disable comments? I can't wait to see that like ratio!

Comments are on the PS channel. That first one is actually pretty funny

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

Wonder why she looked familiar, she was the generic bad chick in the uncharted movie.
