I have been very baffled by all this ugly main character discussion. That didn't even come to my mind when watching the trailer. She is beautiful. Also the actress is African American and many have bald hairstyles.

She was in the Uncharted movie and Wikipedia says that she has been cast as Jade in the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie.

Exactly.

Women are still very opressed in Muslim countries, yet for some reason both feminists and woke media don't care about them.
They dont care because they cant really do anything about it anyway. So it's forgotten and they hope people dont bring them up helping Muslim women (or any other women in iron fisted countries). So it skews western where anyone can say anything.

If they do, they'll get the shit kicked out of them because political lecturing against some people or governments isnt really allowed.

I'm not gay, but sometimes it almost gets to a point, I'd rather make out with a guy. Totally sounds gay, but it's like when people joke around about which person you have to do - pick one or the other. Ronaldo or a super ugly, fat, bald chick. My gaydar almost tells me to choose Ronaldo. lol

A bald woman with a shiny waxed scalp or one with a shaved head is very unattractive. That's why you almost never see it glamourized as beautiful.

Again,I don't see the problem? Tati's character isn't wearing makeup and is a bit older IRL vs the picture I'm about to post.That's okay if some don't find Tati Gabrielle physically attractive in real life or digitally.
She's extremely pretty though, im not sure what people see that i don't.

People brought up Quiet from MGS, but she is objectively uglier - especially when looking at the face card

Some of y’all lay with beasts every night and only get a glimpse of beauty through media. That’s why you’re fighting so hard. I’ve seen the wives/girlfriends of some of these steamers and X accounts and bitches are rough lol.
I dont blame any1, bros are horny

when i was younger and it was slow tuesday even 4/10 girl was good enough to hit, when it comes to commitment tho, its whole other story, here we make the decisions, boys :)
 
I didnt play TLOU2 but Uncharted 4, despite the fact that the shooting and stuff was obviously a huge jump over the old games, I didn't really enjoy playing at all. As a gameplay first game it failed miserably. I am not sure what we are going to get here in terms of gameplay here but I don't think ND is an automatic win on that regard anymore.
TLOU2 was a massive leap forward compared to that game. It's really that good. Certainly enough to be excited for what they might have to offer here. At least on that front I'd keep an open mind what's possible here for gameplay.

You can have pretty people that carry themselves in away that is ugly.
Mannerisms, facial expressions etc.
And it might be because that is the direction they gave the actress, same character might be lovely when acting themselves on set
The actress is attractive just like Saga Anderson from Alan Wake 2

Doesn't mean that what's being displayed in the game.

She has an androgynous face and that haircut doesn't help. In the movie The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat, she has long hair (probably a wig).

so, is 'jordan, space bounty hunter' going to be the next naughty dog series? like a successor to 'nate, treasure hunter'? with eye-patch woman serving as sully figure? kinda makes sense, if you think about it (ability to reuse assets)...

i just suddenly realized 'why would this game be a one-off?...
 
My issue is not that female characters in games are getting uglier. Maybe they were too unrealistic in the past. The issue is that male characters are still 6 foot, 6 pack and attractive. It's not like men don't feel the same pressures. I will accept Ciri looking like Azog the Defiler and the lead in the new Naughty Dog looking like a decomposing Jet Li when male characters look like Rocky Dennis.

A lot of you are blaming what is an “auto immune disease” type response to this thing on the diseased… when you should be blaming the previous 150 shots of DEI nonsense being placed in games that led to this reaction.

This game shows some of the initial signs, absolutely. It’s not time to write it off… but if pre orders were live today I wouldn’t be buying now either. Just wait and see. Before launch if there’s some transparently leftist political bullshit speech or a “top scars” level disaster like Dragon Age we’ll find out and act accordingly.

All this means is that, at most, you wait a weekend after launch and make an informed decision either way. Smart money wouldn’t take a bet against woke garbage here… but it’s too early to bet either way.

It wont be a one-off.

Aside from a handful of ND games early in their existence 30 years ago (before Crash), their games are all franchises spanning many games. Crash and Jak games spanned 5 years. UC and LOU span about 10 years (LOU more as a part 3 will eventually come out). The games sell well and have lots of production values. Those two things go hand in hand as sequels can reuse assets and animations, and they get lots of sales from sequels.

But it looks like the studio can handle 3 games at a time tops where full production maybe only 2 at most. It looks like their latest concurrent workings would be Factions 2 (now cancelled) + Intergalactic + I'd assume LOU 3 is being worked on. Unless they expand the studio, any UC fans shit out of luck as I dont see them having UC5 being worked on too.

I'm not sure what you are proving, lighting angle and the how Naughty Dog's engine renders people can effect the final image. Tati doesn't look too different IRL vs her digital self.
I’m not knocking Tati, I think she is pretty in her own right. Her in-game character model isn’t even a fair representation of what she looks like at all. She’s not bald, nor is she’s muscular. At least from all the photos I’ve seen of her.

oh, i totally agree with this, mannerisms matter a ton but i haven't seen enough of this game to make that justification

It’s interesting to see that people aren’t blindly accepting this just because it’s Naughty Dog. But it’s 2024, and the tide is turning, it shouldn’t be a surprise that this ain’t working anymore. The design is just boring and for the majority there is nothing there to be excited about, for men or women. The target audience basically don’t exist or is incredibly tiny.

That said, the game itself can still be amazing. Important to say. And I don’t think it’ll flop.

Yeah, no chance it will flop, unless the game is really really bad. ND will supplement the really bad design choices with high graphical fidelity and a cinematic experience. I think in this midst of Sony lacking projected first party output it will look like a star.

thanks...

not sure why i didn't instantly understand this. gotta admit, going from cocky, goofy nate drake to jordan will be interesting: she's way more cool, calculating lara croft than lovable indy...

Grand Turismo has thousands of ads and is highly praised . Go figure .

Each licensed car is advertisment.
Your being facetious the game is a racing sim completely different ball game for GT to be realistic they have to have world accurate cars and brands to bring it all together seeing Porsche and adidas in a sci-fi trailer is sort of weird tbh.

I know it wasn't a joke. My post was the joke. If you think that playing as a hot woman is integral for your enjoyment, I'm not sure what can >anyone< say to you. It's really extremely depressing.
That was not really the point either. It is not really that I derive some kind of preternatural pleasure from looking at a "sexy cartoon" as it is something else entirely. The point was that I simply cannot stand having to look at some uglified-buzzcut-lesbian throughout the duration of an entire game and would much rather look at something else. Hell, I'd rather play as an anthropomorphic ice cream cone than the shit they have made as the main character of this game. I just refuse to do it, and I suspect lots of people feel the same way.

Genre variety is good though no.
But you can still have variety within a genre. Concord is a VERY different game to what Intergalactic will be and I'm sure SSM's sci-fi game will be different again and all these are very different to what people seem to think this will be like which is Guardians of the Galaxy. This is Naughty Dog, it will be violent, it will be dark.

This ain’t coming out anytime soon from my understanding, 2026 or 2027. The big Sony fans will defend it no matter what but it’ll be a noisy release and there will be other stars out by then. No flop but a muted reception should be expected, with top scores on IGN, Kotaku, Eurogamer…
