At least Naughty Dog are doing something new, but this didn’t grab me. Looked like the most generic sci-fi setting ever.
The misogynists are pissed btw

It looks interesting, though it does feel a little slimy just how obvious they were about making sure all the sponsor logos were visible on screen. Like, it gave me Wayne’s World flashbacks with how long they were holding on the logos, it almost felt like a parody.
Big, chunky logos are part of this specific vibe, though I can understand why it’s a turn-off (with a couple of the fictional ones being out of focus).
When the game pitch is a cinematic trailer, then a whole bunch of name drops Directed By X, Starring Y, Soundtrack by Z, and not a single mention of what the heck the player is even gonna do in the game, when will AAA studios drop the pretenses and do what they actually wanna do and just make movies
I normally agree with you but Naughty Dog has a good enough track record that I’m not worried. But yes in principle I do absolutely hate the trend
Look it’s Naughty Dog’s Starfield.
EDIT Comments turned off…because of course they are.
The vibe is fucking immaculate. Naughty Dog heading this up gives me faith. I just hope they do a good job with the PC port.
So far I see Guardians of the Galaxy with product placement.
Without the Naughty Dog reveal I wouldn’t have remembered the trailer 10 seconds after it ended.
Looks fun, but since it’s a PS5 exclusive, there’s no fucking way I’m shelling out 600$ on a console to get it.
It will likely end up on PC eventually.
Heh. The moment chat figured out it was Naughty Dog I lost most of my interest. Don’t get me wrong, I liked TLOU1 a lot and mostly liked TLOU2 (even if I wish it was like 60% as long). But I am REAL tired of Sony’s “prestige telivision” gaming bullshit.
Then we got like 5 seconds of gameplay and it is bright action game fun and I am all for it.
