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

    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

    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.

      I’ve seen so many terrible takes already. I made the mistake of looking at a Reddit thread on the announcement. They’re not even trying to be subtle. “Female characters are supposed to be pretty! Nobody wants to play as an ugly bald bitch who looks like a man!”. I’d consider myself a seasoned internet veteran and even still it’s shocking to me.

      The most painful thing will be if the game turns out to be bad, and we have to painstakingly explain “Yes, it was bad, but it’s not somehow specifically because it features a bald female lead.”

      What misogynists, I don’t see them anywhere ??<br> Ohhhhhhh; you mean people who hate games being ruined by bad writing<br> This is a rather old gaslighting technique mind you

    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.

    This reminds me of how I felt about starfield, where I needed to endure boring sci fi game so they can finally work on elder scrolls 6. I do wish though they’d wrap the story of last of us before moving to a new franchise
