not this time.
People played tlou2 because 1 was beloved.
Now he is seen as woke director no matter of tlou2 quality.
he is widely disliked and intergalactic is already dumped on. it's doa.
And I am not even a hater to say that. It's just what you can observe.

It would have to be a miracle for intergalactic to reach it's full sales potential.

By the time the game comes out, we will be in the woke in cool again phase.

Gaming goes from Anti-Woke, to Woke, to Anti-Woke and then it will back to Woke.

Remember, when Antia came onto the scene with Feminist Frequency. Gaming was SUPER Anti-Woke. Then it turned woke. And now we are in the Anti-Woke cycle.

This is silly. It's like people earnestly suggestion you play through the MGS games in chronological order.

Yeah when MGS came out on PS1, I refused to play it knowing a prequel would someday come out.

Anyone who comments in the thread? The ignore button still works AFAIK

How about they do a reverse game update?

The game starts with playing a guitar and then goes to the Ellie/Abby fight and Abby drifting away in the boat.

Next stop - TLOU in reverse order

After that - TLOUII everyone is Abby patch.

How about a random order patch? Google says there's 46 chapters in the game. Just imagine the permutations that can happen shuffling them all around. Every gamer can have their own unique experience. lol

This is pretty cool. Imagine complaining about a free update.

Right?

At Full Price, so within the first year.

The Full Potential Sales, especially for a studio like this, happens in a scenario where Intergalactic is the "Elden Ring" of ND (Which was also a new IP and a culmination of their design philosophies applied to something new for them)

I think the most likely scenario is going to be between 6-9M. (in the first year)

But some people are underestimating the "hate" toward Naughty Dog and Druckmann. This game will inevitably be a victim of the discourse and reception surrounding the previous one. To me, that's far more interesting than the game itself. How will Sony and everyone involved navigate this landmine? They've already started off on the wrong foot.

If the game looks good and plays well, I think 6-9 million is likely too.

I'm one of the ones that underestimating the hate for ND and Neil. Or........ A better way to say it is, "I think the hate people say is against them is overstated". I think most of the hate is related to Console and PC warriors too.

But we'll see. It helps it's coming out after GTA6 also.

Who the fuck wanted this? This gen is beyond pathetic, stop waiting development time on this fucking game! Move on!

 

[MayauMiao]

They really trying to make Abby likeable. Its a lost cause.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

LoL... sony is pathetic this gen

I agree, but I let my wallet do most of the talking this gen. Remember the old saying. Money Talks, Bullshit Walks.

 

[thismeinteil]

Good stuff.

Niel, ignore the GAF haters, they will all still play Intergalactic.

Yea, like they were all going to still play SW Outlaws and Veilguard. How'd that work out?

 

[Salz01]

Like patch in Factions 2. Like seriously. … and make a new game while you're at it.

 

[Exede]

I would play a "What If" mode where the Golf club scene is reversed and the story unfolds differently from there

 

[drotahorror]

They finally fixed the blood. PC version is worth getting now I guess.
