Bad times when you put out a long-form trailer to close the year's most high-profile show and a week later you have to go out and tell people:

"I know it doesn't look all that but, trust me, it's way better than that trailer is showing you - like crazy better, believe me!"

Kinda have to wonder if it might not have made more sense to drop an awesome trailer that communicates the ambition of your new franchise rather than dropping something less compelling and having to reassure people afterwards.

Its nice to know they are doing damage control, they must feel at least a little bit down by the reception.

 

[FunkMiller]

I'm sure basing a game around faith isn't going to cause any controversy at all.

 

[semiconscious]

And yet here you are posting about it. Hmmmm....

this's sony's most prestigious developer finally, 4 years into the life of the ps5, deigning to share with us a peek at what might be their only release this generation, & they opt for this?:



the disappointment is real. & quite understandable, i think...

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Why this strong hate? Because he killed Joel?

I say this jokingly... Sometimes.

 

[Neff]

Why this strong hate? Because he killed Joel?

Literally yes.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Literally yes.

Then his in-game allegory spit on him.

The Gaming Messiah: It's So Cool

The World: How Cool?

The Gaming Messiah: So cool, you don't even know...

 

[Bodom78]

With such an unappealing character, I don't want to know. At least we got some amazing memes.

 

[balls of snow]

You can tell no one makes a game quite like Naughty Dog by the amount of posts gaf has on the game.
Will be there day 1 and twice on sundays.

 

[Moses85]

Literally yes.

Its his Brand?! He can do whatever he likes with it.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Forget about the protagonist for a while. Just imagine the amazing worlds they are going to create. This is their first game on the PS5!

 

[Neff]

Its his Brand?! He can do whatever he likes with it.

I agree.

 

[Brigandier]

Maybe it's time for a Druckmann OT here every day there's a new thread about him, I'm expecting a Druckmann ate an apple for lunch tomorrow 20 page thread!!!

After TLoU i'm totally in.

 

[Boss Mog]

Blue Sky huh? No surprise there.

 

[Trilobit]

Of all the things the teaser trailer could have focused on I have no idea why they went with the main character acting obnoxious. Why would they want to introduce the game in that way?

This is in development pre-Concord. They thought the modern audience existed
Also, maybe he is doubling down because the failure of Concord pissed him off.

 

[Clear]

Blue Sky huh? No surprise there.

My thought too. But being realistic, anywhere else he'd get ratio'd into oblivion "on principle".

The problem for me is that although the trailer generated a lot of attention, the actual level of interest and enthusiasm struck me as being observably way, way lower,

The suits may be backing his vision for now, but if this project fails to hit its sales targets... he will take serious heat for it, and his creative leadership will be questioned,

Naughty Dog gets the funding it does because its built a track-record of financially and critically successful releases, if that were to come to an end... someone's taking the fall for it.

 

[Salz01]

I think they knew what they were doing. So much of that trailer focused on the look, looks of that character. They turned off the comments right away. Not sure whose decision it was, maybe not even his. With so much riding on PS Studios especially after the Concord fail, you would think a committee approves this shit.

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

Neither, I am talking about Whinny little bitches. There are tons and tons in this very thread.
Shocker!!

But it's literally a video game forum what are we supposed to talk about lol

The Gaming Messiah: It's So Cool

The World: How Cool?

The Gaming Messiah: So cool, you don't even know...

He needs a certain former apprentice host to advocate for his game. "First of all I think it's very unfair how the fans have reacted. Very unfair. It's gonna be the greatest game ever, the biggest game you'll ever see. It's gonna be so fantastic, so terrific. Believe me it'll make ya head spin believe me. Crazy Ken Kutaragi really messed us up on PS3 I mean that guy was a wacko and we had to work with him and we did but now it is...much better I think."

 

[kikii]

that bluesky or w/e it is said everything we need to know

 

[Physiognomonics]

I can't wait for him to subvert my expectations again.

 

[ManaByte]

I predict people are going to love the game (and the main character will have hair at some point in it) and we'll look back at this and laugh like when people thought the Switch would fail.

 

[Loboxxx]

 

[JoduanER2]

For now its a no buy for me, but its still a wait and see for me. It is technically impressive that is why I dont cross this out yet, and possible there will still be changes especially with new political and cultural climate in USA starting to grow next year.

Yes, I'm out 2, at least on release. I can't stand this extreme push for "diversity"

 

[DeathGuise]

Sounds like JJ Abrams right before season 4 of LOST

 

[Matsuchezz]

But it's literally a video game forum what are we supposed to talk about lol

If you don’t see what is wrong.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Man, I hope this story leaks so this dude will cry.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

But it's literally a video game forum what are we supposed to talk about lol

Intergalactic trailer is getting more attention and threads than GTA 6 trailer on gaf. That tells you all you need to know

 

[Buggy Loop]

I'd be surprised if this isn't an over the shoulder third-person adventure cinematic game.

I won't be surprised.

Sony :

 

[PeteBull]

We know very well what is peak male performance already:

Now about that peak female performance tho:

The Original Zero Suit Samus, from the Super Metroid Player's Guide​

 

[The Pleasure]

Should have used Way of the Warrior

Shaky Jake 4 lyfe

 

[saintjules]

Oh god... it's gonna be awful ain't it? Another tryhard story that sells itself at some grandeur shit with any lack of self awareness of how shit it really is...

Female Aang "emotional" journey about some fuck'd up stuff made by the embodiment of the patriarchy incarnated in an awful male character

Oh, Neil you've done it again!, you deserve more of Anita in you as a reward for your amazing work as her bitch-ass ambassador

 

[SHA]

24 hrs a day + the time they usually spend in saloon means she technically has more than 24 hours a day.

 

[EN250]

I'm not in the crowd that's seething and keeps running defense for the guy, everytime a post makes fun of him

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Intergalactic trailer is getting more attention and threads than GTA 6 trailer on gaf. That tells you all you need to know

GTA's trailer showed very little, nothing of which was surprising or new. A new IP reveal by Naughty Dog is going to get more attention.

 

[CLW]

Its his Brand?! He can do whatever he likes with it.

And consumers can comment on how STUPID that decision and the story in TLOU 2 was (or was not) and how they now have concerns (or excitement) about the upcoming project

 

[REDRZA MWS]

It’s likely he means that Intergalactic won’t play anything like we’d expect it to following Uncharted/TLOU. In the trailer you can see Jordan use the rock to jump and strike the enemy, and I think this is a clue as to what to expect from the melee combat - in that we’ll be using the terrain a lot to get the upper hand and I imagine this will make for some awesome set pieces.

ND without the shackles of realism could be something special indeed, and I’m loving the fact that people seem to have forgotten how fucking awesome ND are, whilst they focus on their Druckman hate.

Question? Who cares?

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Wild is likely putting it mildly.

 

[StereoVsn]

This is “trust me bro” line of defense.

“Trust me, bro. This gear won’t make your balls shrink to the size of peanuts and make you break out in acne all over. It’s totally safe”.

 

[cobaltorange]

Because BlueSky supports censorship and actively bans non-hivemind thoughts.

It's one thing to leave somewhere due to not being able to speak your mind, it's another to leave because you can't handle diversity of thought.

As long as your thought is inline with what Musk approves of.

 

[Markio128]

Question? Who cares?

Me.

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

It would be funny if those leaks were true and it is exactly what we think it is.

 

[Schmendrick]

Sales person tries to hype up his product after the first presentation didn't go as expected.

 

[mckmas8808]

Just frustrated .

I remember the good old days when you got your demo cd of games that were 6 months to a year out and you got to play a part of it for a bit even if the final product looked or played different.

Today you get a meaningles propaganda trailer and reviews day before release.

So yeah i dont like these fake hypes anymore.
Its getting old.

I feel ya!

 

[Unknown?]

As long as your thought is inline with what Musk approves of.

Wasn't discussing X though but, while it still sucks, it's infinitely better than what it used to be in terms of being able to speak your mind. Are you not aware of all the censorship they did to anyone not inline with their thinking? Go read the Twitter files.

None of them are.
You are dealing with the 80 percent that lives on mainstream news propaganda and doesnt do its own research.

What i do i look at both sides, take both opinions into account and then start digging for past patterns to see who is more truthful and reliable.

But as i said the 80 percent cannot be helped so its best not to engage and to keep your views and knowledge to your self.

I wish we could start a thread about this type of topic, a topic that would expose the past lies of both sides but the truth hurts and people are not mature enough to debate with facts and evidence.

In short , join the dumb club and be happy
