Not trolling, who does this even appeal to? Majority of people into gaming are dudes who hate woke shit, I can’t imagine anyone ever talking about this irl. And the Twitter troons they are pandering to are mostly into anime/JRPGs. So who is even their target audience?
game?
Here come the /v/ market experts that think that the industry lay offs are because of woke KWABThanks for your worthless opinion that is just you saying "DO LIKE I WANT!!!"
>>697136313>surely our unappealing main character will sell millions
It's not meant to appeal, the jew designs things to be disgusting.
Normalfag that love absolute bottom of the barrel movie game slop
>>697136110>Not trolling, who does this even appeal to?You guys need to grow up and start appreciating other curves than feet arches and pits.
>>697136110It's not meant to appeal, and it's not meant to sell. It's meant to demoralize and alienate an already existing demographic base. The sooner you realize this, the better.
>>697136110>Not trolling, who does this even appeal to?Serious answer? Larry Fink.
>From the makers of crash bandicoot and jax & dexterlol.. same shit like outer worlds 2 pandering 'the makers of fallout new vegas'
>>697136110cancer patients
>>697136110it's druckman's personal gay jewish fantasy, really. he has nobody to tell him no at naughty dog and now the chips are all in on his personal neurotic female power fantasy
>>697136739Bald and attractive can work, the problem is she's ugly on top of it
>Intergalactic: The Heretic ProphetThis shit is the most generic title imaginable. Like something you'd see in the teens fiction section at a bookstore.
>>697136110It appeals to mentally ill NPCs who are physcotic and jump into any bandwagon that they think makes them part of a group.Seeing a bald chink just immediately they will go "OMG YES QUEEN REPRESENTATION".Meanwhile even a bald Chinese girl wouldn't react like this to the trailer. White folk, negros, trannies etc are just living in some smokescreen world where shit like this they are conditioned to just respond with jumping Jack's and clapping. For no reason.
Is shaving your head woke?
>>697136110She's part of the 4B movement
>>697136110appeal?
>>697137354>most genericI thought a post apocalyptic third person game would have already prepared you for that.
>>697136110Judaism is matriarchalMatriarchy hates beauty>>697136803Because those trying to demoralize people are jealous losers
>>697137387Are the people who got one look at a bald Chinawoman and immediately started talking about bravery or whatever in the room with us now?
>>697137523"the last of us" is a pretty good title thoughbeit
lole
>>697136110theres an asian chick at my work who proudly displays the fact shes a lesbian with stickers all over her water flask and bags and has a shaved head, looks almost exactly like this character, she doesnt play games but i can tell she is the kind of impressionable young adult this shit is aimed at, the problem is they dont give a fuck about games, and especially not some boring ass movie game
orc tier "woman"I'm sure this will be a financial success!
>>697136110Reminder that most of we trannies DO NOT want these ugly agender characters, I myself just want to play with a cute girl with big boobs pretty much every time. It's not our fault!
>>697136110It's for the modern audience chud. Gaming isn't for you anymore. Accept it or leave :)
>>697137920true, these types of characters are designed to appeal to actual women, who don't play video games

>>697136110>Not trolling, who does this even appeal to?DEI consultants and hedge funds. The ones actually running the industry. The product doesn't need to sell to the public. The studio makes its money from the DEI funding.

Reminder that Blumpf winning means Jews are going to double down on deislop, we’re getting a shit Tom more games like this whether we like it or not.

>>697138334Faith isn't the ugly brown kind
>>697136110Ubisoft couldn't make a successful game with star wars ip and a meh looking protagonist. Naughty slop think they can make a selling title with a literally man looking woman and a new ip.It will fail, screenshot this.
>>697138334Mouthbreather
>>697139481A bunch of studios have already been flipping on DEI. Because the global recession has begun and the ones funding it don't have the money to pay into it anymore. Plus a few studios like Ubisoft are crashing. They want to keep the DEI stuff going, but they can't.This doesn't mean they'll make games the consumer wants of course. They'll just switch to a new scam. But we don't know what it is yet.
>>697138334>rewriting historyI'm old enough to remember /v/ hating her desing.
>>697138765trump won't do shit. We need a Wilhelm II to save our asses.
>>697136110The entire setting and premise seem like returnal just worse
>>697136110Games journalists and other people steeped in the industry's internal cultureIt's a big budget snarky retro-future cowboy bebop space game with a bald lesbian leadYou couldn't appeal harder to some stilted bluesky soifriend if you tried. It's pavlovianBy the time this thing comes out people will be closer to realize that they're tired of pretty games that manage to be ugly in which you participate in an action movie
>>697140047that's not the reason. the real reason is that they are putting the woke away to remoralize the population for war with Iran and Russia and need to recruit soldiers.DO NOT FALL FOR IT
>>697136236Half Life 3
>>697138527>looks like a ftm trannyyouve never seen a chink irl and it shows
>>697138403This. I will never buy anything ND makes as long as Neil Fuckmann and his enablers are still working there.
Yo, I am *so* pumped for this game, like you don't even understand! It's got *that* Guardians of the Galaxy energy, and that’s a straight-up YES from me, senpai. The main character? Bro, she's like *POWER incarnate*, seriously. I was sold the moment I saw the 90's anime playing on the SONY CRT TV. Remember those old-school anime, all gritty and actually GOOD animation? YEAH, THOSE! It’s like they KNOW what’s up. And don’t even get me started on her outfit, it’s just *chef’s kiss*, top-tier design, I’m living for it. Oh, and a freakin’ PORSCHE spaceship with the *Pet Shop Boys* blasting in the background? YUP, I’m in. I’m about to be living my best 90's life, rocking my Sony Walkman while cruising in my Porsche, wearing my vintage Adidas high-tops. It's the ultimate 90’s dream, baby. I’m gonna be an absolute *badass*, and you best believe I’m ready to vibe.
>>697138334I hate female protagonist, but at least they made her attractive.Now they just made female protagonist that looks like a bald tranny.
>>697138187Im American and I can’t think of a single person irl who would give a fuck about this game
>>697136110yeah I have zero interest in butch ugly dyke: the game. they continue making games for nobody. that's fine by me. i continue saving money and buying cheap steam games. i will literally never run out of games to play.
>>697138434No, these are supposed to be Southeast Asian. OP's pic is some ugly mutt.
>>697136110Lesbians
>>697136313Do the massive financial losses actually help counteract the layoffs somehow?

>>697139789go back to /soc/
>>697136110liberals are making games for liberals it's really not that complex
>>697138334Faith's face is why people bought into the concept of mirrors edge to begin with. It sold a million copies, unironically.
>>697141841I'm a liberal and I like big booby girls, how the fuck is this for me?
>>697136110>who does this even appeal to?resetera
>>697140305Isn't that the mirrors edge 2 design? They made her more manish in the sequel.
>>697141692This game is a death rattle. Not for Naughty Dog, for something more significant.Just watch.
Man I'm really feeling like buying a fresh new pair of Adidas kicks before going out and putting down a lease for a brand new Porsche.Also would really like to buy a new Sony music player for my CDs
>>697137471BaldBitchButchdykeBruh
>>697141995Far left weirdos actually have a disgust deficiency, there are too many studies confirming this. Once you notice you can't unnotice it.
>>697141995But resetera is maybe 50 people...
>>697141995>spotlighting black excellence - diversity analysis
>>697141576So these companies just hate money then?
>>697141995/threadThese people can't outpace the ennui that is approaching
>>697140572It sure is lucky that the opposite of what you said was going to happen happening proves your worldview is correct even harder than if what you said was going to happen happened.
>>697141576What customers? Druckmann killed off a potential Last of Us trilogy. He destroyed possibly a billion dollars in value from his shitty sequel.
>>697142548Hey now, there are dozens of people eagerly awaiting TLOU part 3
>>697136420Israel won.
>Majority of people into gaming are dudes who hate woke shitEven if they weren't, the idea is that people want to play games where they're represented. So this game is targeted at like, half Asian half black bald chicks?
>>697141995
>>697142705Türkiye won
>>697136110>hey remember how everyone hated last of us two>what if we took the shitty bald tranny character, aged her up and made her the protag of our new game>perfect, ship it. The jews who run naughty dog don't give a fuck about appealing to their (former) core audience, and are now happy to feed investors bullshit lines about promoting inclusivity to take their money and make garbage that won't sell but they can feel good about.
>>697136549This.
>>697142898The investors do not know about any of this, actually. They are so out of the loop it isn't funny. Remember during the Nintendo shareholder meeting where the dude asked them why they were talking about video games?
>>697136110controversy sells. If it's a good base game, then the word of mouth this woman will generate is free advertising. Kind of like Trump's relationship with the media. Anything he says is a clickbait goldmine.
>>697142705based
>be ND>hear about concord 1-2 years ago>hear all the internal hype>new face of sony, star wars tier brand>fuck we need that>start making your own gotg clone>concord flops>but you're too far into development to stop now
>>697136313Kamala lost lol
>>697136110I think they're trying to get the wukong money. But this design just doesn't appeal to the local Asian demo, maybe to Asian American women, but definitely not to mainlanders. It could possibly work as a dude, but as a woman? Bruh, no, just no. People think chuds shit on uggos, but asian asians shit on ugly foids all the time, even irl, like, bullying is rough here.
>>697142749It's not about representing the kinds of people it depicts, it's about giving badass space cowboy fist bumps to the kinds of people that care about the idea of representation. And the people making it are those kinds of people, so they're convinced it's actually the former
>>697136110>wokeshit>it's just a bald girlyou guys would call your own shadow woke
the guy who made it is a jew and like 0.0001% of the people who play this game are ugly shaved head asian women so yeah, this is what they mean when they say something is woke forced gay race metrics so that jews and women can feel better about dunking on the white guys (even though white guys basically pay for their lifestyle and produce everything they use, lol)
>>697143626if my shadow became a bald ugly girl, it would've become a tranny and yes that shit is woke
>>697136110The mc is honestly a disaster. Glad I’m not working there or I would get fired from pointing it out.
Mods are already running damage control and deleting threads about it.
>>697143626true, they should ditch the bald head and give us some proper representation
>>697136110>And the Twitter troons they are pandering to are mostly into anime/JRPGsNice try westsloping tranny
>>697141287>thaithey all have dicks btw
Imaging plastering this in your first trailer
Pic related should have been the protagonist. Atleast hag fuckers exist and buy things unlike the “modern audience”
>>697137354It's jumping the gun like horizon, giving the first game a subtitle because they're just so smug and KNOW this is going to be a series
>>697136236Virginia Tech
>>697136110Is there a word for the GotG style sci-fi? Like gunesque? Milanocore? Pop-space?
>>697145358you're right I would the hag
>>697140572Lmao its way too late, they screwed over 3 generation of white men, men already quit and enjoying their hobby in peace
>>697136110me
>>697145358> Atleast hag fuckers existLiterally less of them than trannies. Game would flop even harder appealing to those mentally ill freaks
>>697136739Are you too faceblind to understand how these two images are different?
Just Heretic Project might have sounded good.
>>697136110it appeals to america lierals that love to virtual signal but dont play games
>>697144579Imagine if they gave her this instead, lmao
>>697136739>You guys need to grow up and start appreciating other curves than feet arches and pits.>>compares bald 8/10 with bald 3/10bait used to be good
>>697145568Not even a hag fucker but I'd play as her over whatever marvel quips the actual character gives me
>>697137680No they're in the other room silly. Unless they are here and they're you.
>>697145358Returnal flopped though
>>697136110>4B Movement juxtapose
Should've been a short bald asian man.
>>697139443They fixed her in 3 and gave her long hair.
>>697136110It’s an abysmal design for a main character. Also the beginning of the trailer didn’t feel like a Naughty Dog game at all. I’ll admit that once the action started and it revealed that Trent Reznor is behind the soundtrack my interest grew
>>697145916Interest was actually raising, then I saw the Porsche sign
>>697136110>Pilots a Porsche ship>Has a Sony music entertainment system>Wears Adidas shoesIs Intergalactic going to be a telemarketing game as you journey to take down the Five Aces?
>>697136110Kikess dont want cute girlsJudaism is actually a matriarchy
>>697136110It doesn't have to appeal to anyone. It just had to get people talking to drum up free marketing.You idiots do this every single time. You're being played like a fucking banjo by the people you hate.
>>697142682Just like dustborn right?
>>697136110>4 hour long show>everybody anticipating a major announcement, delude themselves into thinking HL3 or GTA6 trailer>this thing comes on screen>the reaction is immediately viscerally negative across the internetlmao
>>697136110They want to make la creatura the new beauty standard.
Video games aren't designed to be successful anymore. The industry is a playground for nepo babies with independently wealthy parents.
>>697145358> Atleast hag fuckers existA very very small population of men. Most find old farts disgusting.> buy things unlike the “modern audience”Yes but they are so small everything appealing to them on a large scale flops like >>697145837. At max the hags should be reoccurring side characters. Being the protagonist is a horrible idea with how little men prefer old farts
>>697136110>who does this even appeal to?
>>697136110Is that the Bitconnect guy?
>>697146230It's okay for GTA6 fans at least. I mean, GTA6 has already won an award and it isn't even out yet!
>>697136110this appeals to Dodgers fans, since she looks like three time world series champ Mookie Betts
Retro Sony tech is what they're going for. This thing better be in.
>>697146259>The industry is a playground for nepo babies with independently wealthy parents.And they get paid $40 million to run IPs into the ground. Because the idiot shareholders and hedge funds pay them up front. If the product fails, the shareholders lose everything. But the producers and studios pocket the initial investment money. This worked for two decades. It's only failing now because shareholders are pulling out of a lot of companies. They finally figured out the scam.
It's going to appeal to people who couldn't preorder a PS6 without this shit game bundled with the console and people who walk into Walmart/Target when they have time and pick up whatever PS6 bundle is available, which this shit certainly will be.
>>697146474fuck off /sp/
>>697136110>So who is even their target audience?The people who bought Concord
>>697141159Haha yeah
>>697146623Glad to see they're having some Egyptian representation, finally.
>Majority of people into gaming are dudes who hate woke shitsource for this? I think you're projecting.Just because you pissbaby snowflakes are loud doesn't mean you're the majority. Everyone I talk to IRL (centrists and normies alike) agrees that you guys have severe idpol brainrot. Anyway, what am I SUPPOSED to feel from this character I know nothing about? They literally just seem like a blank slate.
>>697146131And yet they still flop
>>697136110It appeals to me and I am a straight male with a wife and child. I picked Jack in mass effect too. Bald is hot.
>>697136739>tells people to grow up>doesn't know the difference between a man and a woman
>>697147064>Everyone I talk to IRL (centrists and normies alike) agrees that you guys have severe idpol brainrot.And not a single one of them will buy this either.
If the main character was a generic white guy with a square jaw, you'd be pissing yourself.
>>697147064>Anyway, what am I SUPPOSED to feel from this character I know nothing about?Disgust at seeing a bald brandwhore
>>697143405
>>697146670>still think Concord failed because of "woke"Get out of the information silo my man, there are many reasons that game failed, and the designs were shit regardless of inclusivity>>697146623No hate towards Stellar Blade but jesus christ man, the false equivalence from coomers is astounding>>697147197Why do you think that? People like sci-fi and Naughty Dog games sell extremely well. Several people I've talked to about the Game Awards tonight said they're looking forward to it, one even said he'll probably buy a PS5 for it. You seem to be coping
>>697147392bad bait
>>697136110she genuinely looks like a fucking cholo gangbanger NPC you'd get in a shootout with in GTA. the rest of the trailer actually had a cool retro scifi look (save the fucking porsche spaceship) but the MC is so fucking bland and generic that I almost think she's a fucking create-a-character stand-in. she looks like a fucking saints row 2 default option
>>697136110Looks like a stud I met a couple of times years back. A friend of a friend. She was a nice person. But I don't think her androgynous look is a game seller.This game will fail, because unlike TLoU2, it doesn't have the momentum of TLoU1 backing it. Audiences have to find a new appeal, and the developers aren't making it easy for them.
>>697147392>People like sci-fi and Naughty Dog games sell extremely well.They did in the past. Just like Ubisoft and Rocksteady and Blizzard games used to sell extremely well. But the last few have been some of the biggest flops in gaming history. And what do they all have in common...
>>697147423Which part?>>697147232I don't think bald women are attractive either but if it makes sense for the story it makes sense for the story idk man. I feel like the same people that complain they can't nut to a game protagonist are the same people that would also be fine with the protag being a boring white male like >>697147204
>>697136110Crop it a little and sort of works as a reaction image.
>>697136110i would play this if the main character was hotcan still be tall and muscular and girlboss, just don't make her miserable or ugly.
>>697147561TLOU Part II is one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games and the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive. Blizzard dropped off after like, 2005 lol. Not because of inclusivity. When I think of Ubi's "golden age" I think of Rayman 2 and Beyond Good and Evil 2, the latter of which would make modern /v/ shit their pants for being "woke".
>>697140305She was a part of nu progressive games and Rihanna Prattchet was involved
>>697136110If (((BlackRock))) funds it they literally cannot lose money since their salaries get paid, and BlackRock just uses printed money to ruin things that bring people any amount of happiness from nuclear families and low crime societies to architecture and art. Psychic vampires feed on human misery, little more.
>>697136110Neil Druckman
>>697141841Liberal doesn't mean lefty you fucking retard. Practically everyone in America/western is some type of liberal and pretty much nobody likes ugly chicks. That ESG in games bullshit is part of commie brainwashing (anything in a non-commie country = bad, here's an ugly brown chick instead)
>>697147943>TLOU Part II is one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games and the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive.And did terribly compared to many MANY games on other platforms. Funny how you only qualify it compared to other PS4 games. That's like saying Final Fantasy VII remake was a success, if you ignore Animal Crossing and Doom that came out in the same month. And outsold it 4:1.
>>697147943>Beyond Good and Evil wokeJade was hot, wasn't gay and didn't have a girlboss personality
hunting down Kumail Nanjiani was the funniest part of this trailer. Can't wait to hear his gay quips. Will they include brand names I wonder?
>>697148283>wasn't gay and didn't have a girlboss personalityDo we know Intergalactic girl is gay/girlboss? Plus Jade had short hair and you wouldn't know her quirks unless you played the game, which I imagine the people complaining ITT wouldn't do if it came out today
>>697147943You need to realize, no one has an issue with a toned down minority character if they're cool and not ugly. Jade does not hate men or do any of the stereotypical tough girl things. Jade was cool. Bonus points for also looking like a woman.
>>697136110>Guardians of the Galaxy ripoff with ugly woke charactershuh seems familiar...
>>697145443subtitles are so fucking wack and undeserved most of the time. imagine if this shit was called Intergalactic--then later, you could have Intergalactic 2. That would be tight. Instead we'll have to see a WORLD PREMIERE in 2029 for Intergalactic: The Andromeda Prophecy. and then in the pre-show we'll see some ads for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet REMASTERED
>>697147613Back during Uncharted's initial success, everyone was getting tired of the generic white guy. They were making memes about it and everything. But at ht every least, Nathan Drake is a handsome guy. So he's not bad to look at. And there is some thought put into his attire. He's generic, but well put together generic.This new character is hard to look at. What amount of appeal she might have had as a blasian, is completely dashed with the crazy decision to shave her head. As well has having the unflattering no-makeup look.If they just altered a few aspects about her face, then they would have something really great. Nathan benefits from not having a concrete face model. Because it forced the art department to really labor over his look. But now they just face scan an actress. One that they get from their feminist approved casting agent. And settle for whatever their scanning technology produces. If they took the time to really work on her face to maximize appeal, then they could have something great that doesn't look too far off from reality.
>>697136110Is there any actual game or is it just gonna be all cutscenes about someone's DEI fantasy girlbossing around the galaxy with fanfic-level writing?
>>697139323His face is based on a supermodel.
>>697136110Naughty dog are making a game for THEM! The type of game that the devs want to play. It's not for you, anon. but still buy it of course. We really need a montage with that last presenters speech about devs making games for THEM surrounded by all the newest flops, like concord, veilguard, outlaws, etc.
>>697148927leftists are still acting like the white bald space marine protag era was 2 years ago and not 15
>>697137418in the same way those "half of head shaved" haircuts are
>>697146660
>>697148927>white = genericYea if you're white lol. Fucking retard, of course white people like playing games as white characters.
The porsche ship was interesting though
>another game about how revenge is badHoly fucking shit, TLOU2 mindbroke Neil.
>>697148262Well it outsold TLOU1 as a direct comparison. Outsold Animal Crossing NH, that year's CoD and NBA 2K, and generally did very well from the stats I'm looking at. PS4 was the most popular gaming platform in 2020 with 57.5% of the market share, so being the 15th best-selling game for the most popular console while being late to the generation is pretty damn solid
so if this game started production 2020, does that mean we have to wait til pretty much 2030 for good games to start rolling in now that trump has saved the west?
>>697136110Because jews are rgeat people and companies don't try to make money now, they make the world better...in terms of showing immigrants and women being independant and doign stuff instead of having kidsnow when it comes to polluting, corrupting, stealing, manipulating, cheating, enslaving etc they are worse than ever.... BUT they show immigrants and gay people. They re so moral now !

>>697149680>Outsold Animal Crossing NHHa, no.>PS4 was the most popular gaming platform in 2020 with 57.5% of the market share, so being the 15th best-selling game for the most popular console while being late to the generation is pretty damn solidHoly shit, the cherry picking. "My game sold the best in this specific window I pointed out, therefore it disproves your point!" Next you're going to say Concord was a success by citing it's first day sales only.
>>697138334faith was good, dont compare her to this DEI shit.
>>697149593this. A racially ambiguous character is objectively just about as generic as you can get. I'm white, mostly attracted to white women and not attracted to this character but it's not like I was attracted to Nathan Drake either. I think games should feature pretty girls but I'm not enough of a bitch to complain about the devs not catering to my personal aesthetic preferences
>>697136110>So who is even their target audience?
Cuckman made her shave her head because feminine BAD
I literally dont give a shit, we're so close to playing KCD2.
They had a 4 minute trailer to introduce us to this character and make us like her, and I can't tell you a single thing about her other than that she's ugly, rude to her agent, and she's a walking product placement billboard.People throw around "woke" and "DEI" for everything, but you know how you can tell this actually is truly DEI slop? The only thing noteworthy about the character is that she's oppositionally defined. In this case, by how she does not conform the gender roles, how she's not feminine, how she's not agreeable. You can't say what she IS, because that doesn't matter, it only matters what she ISN'T.
>>697150565I'm white but mostly attracted to black/latino/polynesian women. And the annoying thing is, they don't make games that appeal to me either, despite them claiming they are. They make them black and as muscular/male looking as possible. When the appeal of black girls is more curves and bigger butts/asses. Then if they put a latino women in, which is like 1% of the time, they make them look like a white male body with a crazy black fro.I'd say it's surprising, but it's not. I know what they're doing because the idiot developers brag about it on twitter and make it part of their marketing. They purposefully make characters to "break the mold" and "defy conventions." So even when they have a chance to make a black character, they have to make them purposefully ugly and the opposite of what everyone wants. Even the opposite of what black people want.

>>697150509>citing 12-month sales during the year a game comes out on the most popular gaming platform in the world is cherry pickingI picked out the "specific window" of the year the game launched because it's very relevant.

My honest opinion after actually watching the trailer. It looks like a interesting concept, like everything looks appealing except the main character. It's not like they need to aim for sexy, but at least give her some style. Even if it's something like that shitty sidecut like pic related, at least it's in the right setting.
explain why Naughty Dog only make bald/muscular females.

>>697151883nice selfie lol
>>697138334Nobody liked her ching chong face and even less the game. The sequel is a pet project
>>697151754Yes. Not just because the characters looked woke, but because the developers' woke mindset led to a subpar game and a complete detachment from reality.

>>697152002>the developers' woke mindset led to a subpar game and a complete detachment from realityYou're very much putting the cart before the horse I think. Not sure what you mean by "woke mindset" since that's a bit of a buzz phrase but I don't think annoying preachiness and adherence to improving social/economic equity is what made the video game come out years too late, for too high of a price, and with mediocre uninspired gameplay. They just happened to be "woke" devs that ALSO made a shit game. I'm interested in hearing how wokeness was somehow the root of development problems though
>This was the game that made Geoff do a fake out of "we said Okami 2 was the last game, but THIS is our last game" and say that the stars aligned to grant him the privilege of showcasingExplain to me why a studio who's only work in the past 5 years was "Children of Men, with Zombies" is worthy of such high praise

>>697136110Female protags are pretty common in sci-fi, probably something to do with emphasizing the vulnerability of the human form against the onslaught of technical advancement. Outside of that, eh, she looks like someone who would spend all her time aboard a space ship so she feels more plausible.>she's uggoI mean, kinda? But it's not like I'm gonna pull my dick out and start fapping while playing a video game (Sony movie game jokes notwithstanding). Besides, there's no shortage of beautiful/cute things to look at. Like half the games advertised at the TGAs were anime coombait.

>>697136110Are there a lot of lesbian females playing games i don’t know about? They seem to be the target demographic for AAA games now.
>>697152970Most people don't care. But they also avoid a game (or movie or whatever) when it has something they don't like. Which this is one of those things. Your typical guy (or girl) seeing this character won't look into the game. They won't go online screaming about it. They'll do even worse. They'll just move on and forget about it. The company would much rather the person go online and scream and complain, thereby generating free marketing for the game. But it isn't 2016 anymore. And people are just turning off this media. They're likely to just go play an older game or watch anime or something. Hence the reason AAA games are struggling. Not anger but apathy.
>>697136110Not unwarranted given sci-fi, you'd have to see if the game is heavy-handed about her being as such though
>>697152807>eh, she looks like someone who would spend all her time aboard a space ship so she feels more plausible.anti-"woke" brainrot posters don't care about WHY a fictional character looks the way they do. They have no sense of the material conditions of this world, they just expect the aesthetics of culture to appeal to them directly and throw a fit when it doesn't - look at how many people blame "DEI" when you just know they can't accurately define it
>>697153037*bisexual, but there are, yeah
there is objectively, absolutely, no reason to make an ugly male or female character. It's 100% a negative for your product. Unless it's a side character or villain who you want to look bad.
>>69714232740 now, 10 were temporary banned for chud language.
>>697153443they need to make sure their wacky sci fi setting is realistic. because thats what you did when given the tools to create anything from the ether, make sure that fashion hundreds or thousands of years from now adheres to modern day progressive trends
>>697153581Judy and Panam in Cyberpunk didn't look like a pile of shit, and that was sci fi.
>>697136110She is the least issue of that trailer, whole thing felt like commitee worked very hard to have absolutely every bullet point for *cool stuff* included, faux anime and all.It just feels...wrong. The strong female rebel character is just ...there.
>>697153443>there is objectively, absolutely, no reason to make an ugly male or female characterIf the devs specifically want an average-looking, "nothing special" character because that's what fits the story, then that is an objective reason to do it. Even if the reason was "because we felt like it", that's still indisputably a reason to do it.
>>697153709now ask yourself why the same devs made "abby" in TLOU2 an ugly muscular dyke.
>>697153419there's no such thing as bisexual. once you cross the line you're gay.
>>697136110At least 20 millikon people. It will be a smash hit.
>>697139443Jack is cute!
>>697153181I think AAA is struggling moreso due to how much companies making them are spending on useless shit like higher detailed skin or eyes or whatever, stuff that does not matter at all which is what this game looks to be doingNot because of... bald women
>>697136236HL3, that's the new Alyx model
>>697153774Because they wanted to? Perfectly valid reason, even if some consumers don't like it. Being average-looking and having a toned physique from survival are perfectly apt for the world of the game (though I think food scarcity makes it kinda silly but I didn't play the game, maybe her group had enough food to go around)
>>697154247you dont think it's odd they only make butch female designs?
>>697136236>so far none of the replies to this post got the jokeI'm disappointed, /v/.

>>697153181This is the literally the first Sony game that has made me pause and consider obtaining a PS5 so I can play the game. I'm a huge fan of Metroid and Cowboy Bebop and really dig the retro sci-fi aesthetic. Also, while I vastly prefer fps over cover shooters, this is a melee fighter so it won't have that problem.>But Cuckman! TLOJ2Like I said, literally never played a Sony game before so I have no reason to be upset about their previous work.>Sony shillNot really. In fact you should play Indiana Jones on GamePass.
>>697136110if what they said is correct and this shit have been in dev since 2020 then it's basically a "too late to stop" scenario, like all games that start dev at that time thinking DEI is what would work in the future and then crash and burn as it happened on the releases this year
>>697151647>It looks like a interesting conceptIt's horrid 21st century pop sci-fi shit

>>697154617I wouldn't call Abby "butch". Literally just plain-looking and muscular. Saying they "ONLY make butch female designs" is an enormous stretch imo. You could more accurately say it's a RECENT trend on their part to include more representation but I don't think it's "odd", it's just what they feel like doing ig
>>697155549why are the females in marvel rivals all attractive?why does naughty dog only make lumberjacks?

>>697136110i don't care what the protagonist looks likei only care what the sci-fi tech looks like and retrofuturism is kino
>>697144865more womanly than baldie over here. what the fuck has the world become to.
>>697154063There are dozens of factors for why AAA games are doing worse. Both the ones you named are a factor. And despite your attempt to reduce my large argument to just "bald women", it is still a factor. Men don't really care about a woman being bald, if she's interesting in another way. But most modern women aren't. They're just made to look an act like men. So men don't care about them. And what's also overlooked is women also don't like them. Even more than men, women judge other women. And they're more likely to go play the next Zelda game, with cute girls and buff, shirtless guys, than the next AAA game with a manly woman.
>>697155745it was smoke and mirrors to trick investors, they receive cash saying how this plan will expand the player base and make games, specially the ones as a service, more profitable for a longer period, and now we see it did not work at all and most people who funded the idea is pulling back
>>697155695They probably would be. But 99% of them will never even see this. They'll just play the latest Korean/Japanese gacha game.And it's not like the developers care. Their idea of Asian representation is just throw a Korean into a game and call them Chinese. Then they're shocked when the Chinese market doesn't buy the game.
>>697136110Druckmann is a jew. Ugly things appeal to jew sensibilities.
>>697155745>how do you think DEI worksif it's what everyone else is doing, why the FUCK wouldn't you do it as wellLike that anon said, at the time maybe it made sense
>>697155656>why are the females in marvel rivals all attractive?because it's an arcade-y PVP hero shooter featuring pre-existing IPs and they want to sell cosmetics, especially since it's free to play>why does naughty dog only make lumberjacks?ND makes somewhat grounded and emotional single player games in new settings and they don't have to sell cosmetics. Not a good comparison imo. Also "they only make lumberjacks" is a huge stretch since again, Abby is just plain-looking and muscular which makes Intergalactic girl your only supporting example so far If you want to compare Naughty Dog's modern games to some other single player game with a realistic/grounded style then that would make a lot more sense, but my answer will always be"they did it because they felt like it and that's a perfectly valid reason that you don't have to like, but others will"
>>697138778>head-cummers There’s no such thing. Right?!
>>697145465I'm gonna coin it for youBubblegum sci-fi
>>697156765you dont think them making ugly females has anything to do with their CEO being a woke tard?
>>697155745>I have a theory that Twitterbrains think it literally means "let's hire tons of gay, brown, and disabled people!"They do. But the producers and CEOs in companies see it as "let's get Blackrock to give us a bunch of free money for meeting a quota." DEI is literally a grading scale Blackrock came up with. Technically it's ESG. But they tried to rebrand it as DEI later. And now that DEI is failing, they'll rebrand it again to something else.

>>697157053Women in media. See Aliens or Star Trek. They portrayed women shaving off their hair, yet guys still liked the characters. It's because they had other qualities. Like a personality that isn't "butch man." And actually developing the character in situations beyond "girl beats up man and says witty one liner."We're not talking about real life. We're talking about the language of media.
I always thought Guardians of the Galaxy would be better if Starlord was a tranny Asian dyke.
Me.
>>697157584>t's because they had other qualities.This is the big thing most modern media doesn't understand. Characters like Ripley are popular because they are actual likeable characters first and women second. These days it's just here is a woman! and that's the extent of it.

>>697160565They make more money from hedge funds and shareholders than they do selling to the consumers. It's stupid they don't try appealing to both. But Blackrock and the shareholders demand they do things exactly opposite of what the consumer wants. And they would rather take the guaranteed $400 million up front from them than hope the game sells enough to make $400 million in profit.The medium and smaller companies don't get this deal. So that's why they still appeal to the consumer.

I probably have zero interest in this game, regardless, but a mercenary for hire driving a space Porsche, listening to 80s synth-pop, doesn't strike me as particularly woke.

>Not immediately dismissing anything from Naughty Dog We still have some believers in our midst.
>>697138334literally put Faith in that spaceship watching anime wearing a tank top and the game would be immediately better.
>>697136110God I hope Playstation keep her as their poster girl, or "man" or "they". Plaster it all over the major city's billboards and TV ads for the world to see and awe.
>>697160857Pretty obvious they're going for an 80s/90s sci-fi vibe and the character is meant to be like Ripley in Alien 3. They're only calling it woke because she's Asian instead of white.
>>697136110its amazing how "non sexualized female character" means the ugliest fucking LA drug addict to americansmoving from top 1% to bottom 1% good job you achieved nothing
>>697164523How do they not understand that a main character needs to be marketable? You can't put this gross monkey on a poster.
>>697136110I’m glad I’m a eurofag and was 2sleepy 2watch the show. I don’t even know who this is or what won gotySomeone gimme a qrd plx
>>697164712>qrdfaggotry
>>697136110>And the Twitter troons they are pandering to are mostly into anime/JRPGs.Stop trying to push this retarded angle, they aren't into anything other than the mental illness that is now their personality. They are trying to ruin anime and everything adjacent with their shit as much as everything else, because that's the only lens they can anything through anymore. And just like with everything else they are just loudly pretending they are into it, while wanting to change all the content and never putting their money where their mouths are when it comes down to it.
It appeals to the creators artistic vision.
>>697164712Okami 2 (real) is real and kamiya is directing itThe rest is lol lmao
>>697147392Woke designs are always shit. They don’t only destroy lgbt characters they ruin them all because of hate for men.
Uhhh yeah so we're gonna announce our newest action heroine>sitting down on her ship>being annoying to her colleague>sipping some slop
>>697164712No HL3 after all
>>697141995These faggots won't buy anything in any way that matters. They always do this, they larp being hyped day 1 buyers of all these games, because they think they are obligated to do so by their pseudo-morality. >Thoughts and Prayersis what this really is. They acted the same about Concord and remember when it flopped and the servers were about to be shut down they did this extra retarded spiel of>aw man, just when I wanted to get it, last week I just didn't have timeIt's fucking weird, it's like a RP forum for people to pretend they are avid gamers of specifically woke slop.
>>697142682>And Neil being the huge cowboy bebop boy that he isThese people all deserve to be minecrafted.
>>697140305it was the asian community that hated her design, /v/ was mostly fine with it. that photoshop for example was made by a japanese guy.
>>697136110>Cuckmann openly mocking ppl buying his gamesOMG I'M GONNA BUY HIS NEW GAME
>>697159732>>697160265they believe what they say and think its the way to go but everything they do is so mentally exhausting to them that they cant actually handle the own shit they push 24/7 so they play something else.they arent fully aware of it. their whole belief system is nothing but dissonance.
>>697163585If it's any consolation she's probably going to have her face cheese gratered off so the deep dark story and message can really land and people can basedface over the themes of the human condition.
>>697164664Which is exactly why I'm praying for this miracle.Druckman, do your magic. Subvert our expectations and let the future be BALD.
>>697136517coomer games are irrelevant. /v/ is just of retards like you.
>>697160826>They make more money from hedge funds and shareholdersYou'd think, but that's just start-up money. There's a reason these franchises keep getting cancelled. They get enough to fund development but not enough for a sequel. Even Senior Fink has to explain why the money doesn't come back multiplied.
>>697136236Concord: Story Mode
>>697136110>Majority of people into gaming are dudes who hate woke shitMajority of people don't give a fuck if the game is good. You need to realize you live in an echo chamber. Most people do not look at a game they think is interesting and immediately laser focus on a black or female character to take off to Twitter to talk bout the collapse of Western civilization.
>>697136110Shes fine. Art style is bland realism again though. Meh. Woke parrots missing the actual problem yet again.
>>697152683nta did you really come here with your shit bait only to get baited? kek really can't make this shit up
>>697156972your mother either a) wasn't born with a penis, orb) doesn't have monkey-hybrid genetics
>>697136110People who got raped in prison, I imagine the rapist of both genders looks something like that
>>697136110I swear you fucking retards are going to get rage baited by Cuckman's HRT muscle "women" every time there's a new game and now we get to see this face hourly day after day here so thanks for all that free advertisement towards his shit game
>>697137753holy keksomeone send this to cuckmann
>>697136110Me, except I loathe Druckmann for being a Zionist dipshit so I won't be playing no matter how cute she is
Lookin good.
>>697136110uh where have you been? it appeals to netflix gamers what were you expecting from naughty dog wtf? black people have been in movies for decades
>>697158859>ok we'll put a brown monkey "person" in our game but she's gonna have blue eyes and a european facial structure and big tits lolbased chinkcels
>>697166150yeah man all the slopflops of 2024 is because people actually love niggers and trannies in their games.
>>697136110Humiliation rituals, that's all you get stupid gentiles for killing the good guys.
>>697141995If Pedoera likes it, it must be good.
>>697136236Nasty lesbian cunt: Starring Lev from TLoU2.
>>697166594Thing is Storm has always been like that even in the older comics a doctor comments about how she has facial characteristics from multiple races. Someone's posted the frame before.
>licensed music
>>697136110>hire a jew director for one (ONE) game>suddenly he needs to helm every single project the studio makes for the next decadegenuinely I expect nothing from modern ND its insane how much of a fall off this company has had. I thought after TLOU2 bombing they would have shifted directions, but that TV series probably convinced them to try again.

>>697146230I felt some hype when the 80s music started playing but immediately swapped to disgust again as they show that fucking creature from hell smirking as she starts her ship. It's such a shame.
>>697156881it's not just Blackrock or even mainly pushed by Blackrock, they have just been the most vocal about creating their own ESG methodology to sell their bullshit funds. I work in finance, on a renewable energy team no less; that industry is the only thing with merit in the entire ESG framework and even then, I've seen so many bullshit companies come to my firm for investment with smoke and mirror pitches. Essentially, Academic Finance (full of faggots who couldn't make it in actual finance) started releasing studies, many funded by interest groups, "proving" that ESG performance (not just Blackrock's ESG direct score metric) correlates with better returns. These studies, if you actually dig into them, are entirely bullshit; they are looking at a few years of data and don't account for the fact that the companies spending the most on ESG are the ones that are already doing extremely well, meaning the results are biased. The issue is, most boomers in finance can't understand academic studies beyond reading an abstract, so a bunch of companies hopped on board and began tying up investment in ESG as they saw ESG funds attracting alot of investment from equally retarded secondary market boomers. Low and behold, these strategies are now all blowing up amidst higher interest rates, so most firms are moving away completely. My team was re-designated to be an "ESG" team in 2020, now we're back to just "Energy" even though we work with renewables; the companies know this shit is tanking and ESG itself is a poison word. Its only a matter of time for this to trickle down from the finance space to general businesses like vidya.
>>697167236what
>>697148927>everyone was getting tired of the generic white guyNo they weren't, faggots and journalists were.
>>697136110mark my wordsthis will be the first major flop naughty dog and drucky will experience and set them back for a whilethe product placements wont really save its consumer reception given its a new ip
>>697138334mixed race american protag #9999 isn't asian
>>697148927>They were making memes about it and everythingwho's "they", dumbass?
>>697166654again your brain is rotten. the only analysis you can perform of a game is "does it have woke" and if it has woke it fails and if it doesn't have woke it succeeds. except when it has woke and succeeds in which case it's an industry plant or when it doesn't have woke and fails in which case it was set up to fail. literally the sort of analysis only a cultist or a simpleton would do
>>697136313Spotted the Kamala voter
>>697167853lol
>>697136110I have a bald chick fetish and even I hate this.
>>697168032>I have a bald chick fetishwhat the fuck is wrong with you
>>697141803Yeah and the character didn’t cause men to demand uglier protagonists.
>>697167134That’s the beauty of gamemaking, chud. We can eliminate the male gaze.
>>697139323Male Shep is a hot chad THOUGH
>>697136110 is this a woman?
>>697139443That's shave not bald
>>697139323That's shaved not bald

>>697168563not my proudest goon
>>697141803but why male models?
>ugly ass dike already have 0 reason to pay 80$ for this. Looks like naughty dog is going the woke go broke path.
I see 2024's collapsing sales for DEI shit hasn't deterred the jews from pushing their miscegenation messaging one bit.
>>697168763hard to say. games take so long to develop this mightve started in a time when they were still thinking they could succeed with it.another poster put it well. this game was made for a timeline where Concord was a massive success.
>>697139443That one is also ugly as hell and anybody who thinks she is attractive has the shittiest taste possible.
>>697168763>miscegenationbased vocabulary
>>697136110>Majority of people into gaming are dudes who hate woke shitsource?
>>697136313If you’ve got a better explanation for why so much western big budget slop has crashed spectacularly, let’s hear it. Concord’s sales performance was very telling, it couldn’t even grab the attention of normies who only care about the box art
This game is going to be AAAA quality
>>697168971
>>697169040>people didn't play these bad gamesok and?
>>697138334Mirror's Edge has interesting gameplay in the first one, anon. It's like Portal, if the game is actually good, it gets a pass.
>>697136236Full dyke 3
>>697169024It's going to struggle to meet Skull & Bones' standard.
>>697168120Faggot.
>>697155005>the first Sony game that has made me pause and consider obtaining a PS5 so I can play the game>a cinematic trailer with no gameplayThis bait wouldn't even work in the mid-2010s
>>697155235The board was filled with that neon yellow apology image back when it first released, you're just a newfag
>>697169407>this guy wants to fuck the mannequins in H&M
>>697169108>give me a source proving that dudes dont play woke games>he got it>uh but butlol
>>697169108>yes i'm being disingenuous, so what
>>697169108woke games are bad and they all flopped because dudes dont play them, yes.
>>697164664The amount of times they've tried to do this for Aloy makes me laugh with how much they failed
The appeal of the game is to make the HL3 chuds seethe
>>697149381I dunno, I'm kind of hyped for the setting. A weird-looking protagonist kind of gives it a retro cyberpunk flair.
Am I the only one who thinks bald asian chicks are kinda hot?
An androgynous shaved-head Asian girl with tattoos and a ‘tude isn’t fucking appealing to anyone. Why would I want to play as that?
>>697170116yes
>american accent>american culture""Asian""
>quirky chungus analogue 80's anime and fast food but in le spacedo they not know that fad is over a decade old?
it's the same song and dance every time>game is announced>it's hideous pozzed nigger slop>normal people: this looks like shit and it will flop>troons: umm actually this looks amazing and it will sell gorillions!>game comes out and flops>troons: uhh no one ever said it would sell, it flopped but not because it's hideous nigger slop, it's just bad in ways that i cant explain, you were wrong again chuds!
>>697170116>>697170136>chicks>girlanons, i...
How rare is it to see a woman with a shaved head on purpose? I don't even remember ever seeing one in real life.
>>697136110>Majority of people into gaming are dudes who hate woke shitYou live and talk in a tiny bubble.The majority are people who don't care.
I was already skipping Naughty Dog games. But, wtf is this?
>>697136110>Majority of people into gaming are dudes who hate woke shituhh anon? bro?
>>697144845why do they need transgender options when a game can just have a male/female options and they can just choose the option they 'identify' with?
>>697169407she is attractive, but the thing is she'd be 4x more attractive with hair
>>697137753Now this is problematic.
>>697138334She was already ugly in 2008, and I say that as an Asian man. It was the beginning of the end.>>697165765No we weren't, fuck off.
>>697136110I don't have a problem with it in principle, it's borrowed sci fi aesthetic and she's meant to be South Asian. However the game is subtitled "the heretic prophet" and it's made by Druckmann so it's going to be Hollywood slop with non stop cut scenes and scripted gameplay segments that has anti religion themes (except Judaism)
>>697171107Of course you don't like her as an asian man, you people want your women to look as white as possible. We like 'em exotic, thoughever.
>>697147392>Get out of the information silo my man, there are many reasons that game failed, and the designs were shit regardless of inclusivityThe problem with a game focusing on wokeness is that they end up ignoring the important parts of what makes a game fun so we end up with games with shit mechanics or shit writing.
>game is created for one purpose and one purpose only. To absolutely destroy through seething communities like 4chan.>actually succeeds
>>697140305Right is better.
>>697145561Korean,African and bald, wow they hit the jackpot.
>>697171186Exotic is not the same thing as ugly. That's actually pretty racist to think so.
>>697171186>We
>>697171261>wasting hundreds of millions of dollars and half a decade to spite basement dwelling anons on 4channel dot org
>>697151060Great example of a sexy non-white character. Mulan is up there too.
The hot blasian from Sabrina with the sexy voice is pulling a Ripley, flying a spaceship, watching anime, and fighting giant robots with a thermal sword.And it's made by Naughty Dog.This will be a great game and you'll hate it because you're all faggots.
>>697171383Exotic in the USA means the most common phenotype in the world.
>>697136110No woman ever looks good with a bald head
>>697170701>>697170894>>697168971Try talking to actual normalfags once in a while. You dumb trannies.
>>697167810How new are you? Why do you think Spec Ops the line protagonist looks like that, although funny enough for a game that pokes at the brown and bloom era it can look rather pretty and colorful.
>>697157584Good point, the Borg Queen is HOT (and bald)God, I miss old Trek. I watched all of Picard... don't remind me, anon, it hurts.
>>697167810zoomer lurk more.
>>697171386Yes, Chang, cope about it.
>>697171874Is that one of the fabled "memes"? lmao
>>697171496You're calling some ugly mannish mutt hot and we're the faggots? lol
>>697160565THat looks highly photoshopped or filtered though? Do you have an unmodified video of her?
>>697138334how mentally ill are you to compare faith to this thing
>>697136110it's made for the modern audience that will exist in 2 weeks
>>697164965Sony just acquireed Kadokawa too. I'm gonna miss Shiren titles and I guess that means no more good Dark Souls/Elden Ring games or future Pokemon Mystery Dungeons......
>>697171186Who is "we" you yellow fever Amerimutt? I like my women, like myself, white, as possible.
>>697172693If I want to be attracted to a white woman I'll just be attracted to a white woman. There's no point dressing up an Asian to make her look like a simulacra of a white woman. If I feel like being attracted to an Asian instead I'm going to be attracted to the features that make them asian, not a gross imitation of a white woman. Only insecure ricecels would disagree.
>>697136110Oh, that guy from Alien Romulus got something after the movie? Good for him.
>The suffering of generations must be endured to achieve our divine endYep it's a cuckmann game already with a starting quote like that
>>697173536I feel like most people in this thread are suffering from some sort of face blindness.
>>697147943You're completely out of touch so your analysis is worthless. Ubisoft peaking with rayman 2? Absolute retardation when the rabbids alone have earned like 3x the money rayman has ever generated. No mention of a very tiny franchise called ass creed throughout the late aughts and 10s? Zero awareness that Rainbow Six Seige is Ubi's modern day cash cow that is hard carrying the company. You clearly do not understand this shit at all.
