You assholes better be grateful
>>729010514I'm not a champion of social justice, so why should I care about them working overtime?
>>729010514good I hope they suffer and the black queens in hr get an extra lunch break
>>729010514I don't know anyone who is interested in playing this garbage
Imagine working overtime knowing the fruit of your labor is gonna be whatever that thing is lol
>>729010514I don't play games with realistic humans at all. they're boring to play as.
>>729010514any chance of it bombing so hard that naughty dog gets shutdown?
>>729010514They call it the most Israeli game of the generation
>>729010514I don't even know what that is.
>>729010514as long as the game is good I don't care if some sissies that hit keys on a keyboard are staying a little latestick these faggots on an oil rig out in the Pacific and then they can complain about overtime
>>729010514Mandatory overtime today for a product that isn't coming out for another two yearsThe video game industry needs to drastically cut back on whatever the hell causes this. It hasn't been that long since games were thrown together in less than a year from idea to hitting the shelves at retail. And if a hastily made remaster of a game developed in less than a year is good enough to sell for 40 bucks then so is a brand new game of equal quality.
>>729010732i think it's more plausible the suits at Sony will force druckmann out
>>729010514Isn't ND known for having a high turnover rate?
>>729010783there's like a 0% chance the game will be good bro.
>>729010514she looks like every mexican dude ive seen in the south. more like a crackhead. is druckman this retarded?
I really wish all the technical work would amount to nothing. Games with amazing gameplay shouldn't be accompanied with agenda-driven garbage writing.
>>729010514>The mandated overtime ended this week for the majority of staff, after the demo had been finalised. Bosses also reportedly informed staff that the studio will return to its standard requirement of three days in the office per week through the end of January 2026.and you wonder why games take so long to make...
>>729010514Can they just make another platformer again and not some movie game with a bald dude that gimps Akira?
>>729010514>>729010682>Quick! We're making peak woke slop in a post woke era!>Get out it whilst there's still some troons left alive!
There's no audience for this shit
>here's your tranny looking gangster from el salvador main character bro, you'll play as xer for 30hs and you'll love it
>>729010514I've been playing video games for 12 hours a day for the past 20 years, where's the gratitude for all the unproductive shit I do?
The jewish urge to uglify everything.
>>729011176You're an arab
>>729010514>>729010836>5 years already in development>don’t even have an internal demo made yet to show SonyWouldn’t that be like one of the first things you would make?
Yeah im grateful to see people cut their lifespans short crunching on this shitty game I wont buy.
>>729010514It's a smart investment to sink hundreds of millions into a game with a bald female asian protagonist, it's also deeply artistic as well and not just a remnant from what was the status quo a couple of years ago, doing identity politics in 2026 is SMART and artistic shit, real shit. Intelligent shit, this is what you do.
>>729010514What a stupid fucking title, what the fuck does Heretic prophet even mean? It sounds like some enlightened r/atheism fedora's understanding of religion vs truth
>>729011176I think the funniest thing to come out of the ugly Playstation girls is the Nick avocado Aloy. I can't unsee it and it's so fucking funny
>>729010514Gotta get it out in time to make a remake for PS6
>>729011176mj was a self insert, could you imagine what was going on in the studio?>"uhh... miss? why does mj is looking so different... and why does she look like you?">gets fired and blacklisted for asking to many questions
It's gradually sinking in that AAA will literally just keep flying headfirst into the same window like an insensate bug until it dies. Ubisoft will kill itself for no reason, Naughty Dog will kill itself for no reason, Bethesda will kill itself for no reason. Everyone. What the fuck.
>>729010514>Mandatory overtime for a game that's still 2+ years awayI think drunkman is actually trying to have someone on staff try to kill him. Controversy is the only way this shit will sell
>>729010836>Mandatory overtime today for a product that isn't coming out for another two yearsThat's completely irrelevant retardo.It shows you never was a part of long term project.Pretending crunch is ok only for last month or two is stupid when lazy devs can't hit milestones.If they end up at 50% done in 2027 couple of months of crunch won't make a difference.
>>729010514isn't this game supposed to come out in another year or two?
>>729012008That is what happens when you stop making games and start making products solely to appease shareholders
>>729010514Imagine being forced to work on this garbage lol.
>>729011176The /pol/fag urge to shit up /v/
>>729010514No one is excited for this game, they should take their time. Seriously, there's no rush.
>>729011294Schlomo not every thing is about your gay satanic genocide state
>>729012170>you never wasthere are industries built on burning people out and even they generally don't have a busy season more than 4-6 months out of the year.
>>729011468
>>729012137Pretend you're a retarded MBA and it make sense. Clearly they need to rush it out as soon as possible to beat GTA 6 to market.
>>729011176Sony is a japanese company.
Imagine you having healthcare is dependent upon working 12 hours a day for a demonic slave driving corporation. Oh you don't have to imagine it, that's real life at Naughty Dog in a supposedly "free" country.
>>729010514>abuses staff in order to get out virtue signal gameMany such cases
>>729011294Arabs cover up anything that's hot and jews make it more ugly. There's a big distinction.
Working overtime and being constantly tired, wasting the best years of your life, just so you can make some retarded woke propaganda about a bald nigger. Grim.
>>729010514You will ALL APOLOGIZE when this games comes out at turns out to be a HUGE SUCCES. Can't wait to have a blast myself.
>>729011176>Meanwhile a midgirl in Suda slop is a 11/10 beautyHate Calislop so much

>>729011112nohe needs to be REMOVED and a new MC ought to be made from scratch
>>729010514They better be working over time on a new game and not THAT trash.
>>729012463>go online>purchase health insurancethis is literally impossible unless you choose the plan for me and take it directly out of my pay.
>>729012617that's NOT a himecut, you fat nigger
>>729010514"It won't"
>>729010783>as long as the game is good
>>729010514No.
>>729011176my new normal is this. i can give you a link to my Steam account to prove it.
>>729010514They are working overtime and this is the best they come up with, damn
>>729010514Its getting canceled and the fallout for the studio will be legendary. Which is the plan.>>729012008They did explicitly say many times that their goal is to murder the entire video gayme industry with this DEI stuff. Any time you watch their own media and meetings about this they very openly talk about it as a massively coordinated network of saboteurs doing the work by dismantling the systems of the white man one economic sector at a time. It doesn't make any sense, until you look at the state of the countries they came from.
>>729012454Sony Entertainment was moved over to California and is being ran by the retards that let their state burn to the ground. Sony is a Japanese company, Sony Entertainment is (((American)))
>>729012303You troons and "payment processors" should stop ruining the industry if you don't want people to notice and discuss it.
>>729011176MJ was a fucking crime
>>729010514>show intro trailer>make it look like space bounty hunter with space ship flight>last dozen seconds show glimpse of gameplay>it's just a horizon copy
>>729010514I'd rather they just cancel it.
>>729013563>They did explicitly say many times that their goal is to murder the entire video gayme industry with this DEI stuff.how exactly are you murdering anything if there are now more than ever good games to play - the old classic good games + new indie games + mods for the old classic games?people are still playing games, just not from 9-10 old studios that will not survive.
>die a Hyenas or live long enough to be a Concord, PVE edition
>>729010514>...Reportedly Working Mandatory OvertimeAll for an internal demo btw.
>>729013051Can't afford that without a jerb and if ND employees refuse the mandatory OT they wont have that
>>729010514>it's been five years since The Chuds of Us 2 and they STILL need to crunch to even hope of releasing this slop in this generation lol, lmao
>mandatory overtimeDoesn't the US have any employment laws?
>>729014004>the USYou should be able to answer your own question here
So when this piece of shit flops will all the executive kikes and shareholders that don't even play video games fuck off back to their toilet paper factories and video games can finally go back to being normal again?
>crunch not to release the game but to have a working vertical sliceHoly shit.
>>729014148Video games will collapse due to RAM and SSD prices
>>729014004The US has regressed back to it's Guilded Age labor laws where employers have all the power because they can just lay off dissenters and hire third worlder jeets paying them pennies on the dollar to american wages.
>>729012804Not a single good game after 2005. Amazing. 2 decades of slop.
>>729014230Sounds like a good thing because the suit wearing satanic pedophiles will find out there's no more money or profit to wring out and they can fuck off back to hollyweird or their manufacturing factories leaving only gamers to make good games for eachother again.
>>729010514Are these game devs salaried or hourly? Because if they are salaried ... that is even more horrific than if they are hourly
>>729013770Wait it's not some space bounty hunter adventure? It even referenced Cowboy Bebop
>>729010514not a problem with project nortubel
>>729013969>Can't afford that without a jerbdamn, I didn't know you need money in order to spend it.
>>729014346Game devs are salaried which is why they cry so much about crunch and forced overtime because they aren't being paid extra lmao.
>>729010514I haven't even watched the trailerdruckmann and ugly protagonist is enough to skip this
>>729014235But i thought immigration was good? Erm... troonxisters... what do we do?
>>729010671>>729010732It'll sell. PS5 has no games, they're coasting on "we made TLoU!", etc. Hopefully it's shit enough so Cuckmann gets pushed to a more "symbolic" position if not removed entirely
>>729014501Why does the law allow them to be salaried? I thought that was only for managers
>release date 2027>almost 100% chance of being delayed to 2028well to be fair the pendulum might have swung back that far into the future
>>729014525Nothing, the rot and decay will slowly collapse on it's own, real change will occur when the insulated "Haves" normalfags start feeling the pressure of malicious corporate strangulation like the rest of us. Just keep pracgicing neutral Jing technique and our moment will come to strike when it's hot.
>>729014601Because jews convinced the retarded goyim that salaries are "professional" forms of payment, normally a salary would be good if you were making six figures but game devs having crunch and forced overtime with no extra compensation is a trap.
>>729012303>muh /pol/uhmm... sweetie... hating jews is mainstream now, /pol/ loves jews now
>>729014657>Vote for VanceI am not American, but I don't even think you guys like that guy that much. What's his base? He's married to an Indian which puts of white voters, he's too "conservative" for everyone else. I don't think he can win TbhRepublicans have to come up with something else if they want to win in 2028 with Mr. Trump not being on the ballot
>>729014657>Vote for VanceIndian hands typed this
>Brags about no crunch>Force devs to crunch anywayLmao.
>>729014662I honestly think it will take the Fable route and get canceled next year. Maybe if they put too much money into it, which they did, they might release it to get release day sales to get back what they can and sweep it under the rug never to be heard about again
>>729014657Dude that guy can't win given how much of a joke he is on the internet. Even normalfags see his memes of him with a giant baby head and laugh.
>work at Naughty dog>collegues are landwhales soiboys, megalomanians tweakers and juice>10PM have mandatory unpaid overtime>Have to animate bald girlboss teabaging only white likable protagonist> Then model jewish memorabilia and make it undestroyable
>>729014353go watch the trailer again. character is going to a planet 'nobody has ever escaped from' and the last bit of gameplay looks like horizon.I bet the game will be character landing, doing whatever, and the ending is them finding a way to leave with their native wife because muh lgbtq
>>729014230this is a good thing unironically. Gaming was best when it was niche.
Sony should bundle the Jak 1, 2, 3, X, Daxter and Lost Frontier PS4 ports and release them on Steam as a collection
>get paid double time to sit in a fucking heated office instead of working outside>still complainfuck off
>>729015127I think Sony will move away from porting single player games to PC soon. Just multiplayer will remain. It lowers their console sales.
>>729015223Anon, they are salaried. They get paid nothing extra. They only lose.
>>729014537Last of Us 2 was enough of a flop that they canceled planned DLC and the entire multiplayer mode. They already can't coast on that.
>>729015108This, if mainstream gaming collapses leaving only people passionate again, new studios with the creators resembling early Id and Bungie demographics of nerdy white and asian guys only instead of niggers, childless leftover women, troons, jews and jeets that would be the best outcome ever because we can finally get some actual innovation again.
>>729014537>they're coasting on "we made TLoU!"yeah but didn't most people hate TLOU2? and from what i heard copy and pasted the same mistakes with the tv show.
>>729012303
I can't wait to play this game when it comes out on PC and I can model swap the main character with 2B
>>729015223Nigger they're paid salaries so extra time in the office is not compensated. I'd be pretty annoyed having to work extra after my contract hours for kikebergshekelstein to make the line go up quarter chart.
>>729015302wasn't the multiplayer standalone game axed because of Bungie's """consulting"""?
>crunch is backfinally, some good fucking newsmaybe video games won't be shit any more
>>729015369The game itself was fine, but the writing (particularly the ending) was very divisive. A lot of people took particular issue with Ellie claiming "I'm not a killer like you" as justification for sparing Abby, despite having murdered her way through multiple states in pursuit of her.
>>729015536Good video games were made without crunch thougheverbeit, it's a very jewish practice.
>>729014148I can't even hate on her for collecting 200 checks from these retards that cast her in literally every AAA DEIslop lol
>>729015223>>729010514>TLoU2 took 4 years (announced Dec 2026 -> released 2020)>Intergalactic was probably going to take 4 years too (announced Dec 2024 -> ETA 2028)I honestly think the sony execs are trying to hurry Neil up so they can cover the loss ASAP. They are tired of putting up with flops that take forever to release.
>>729010514The palisades fire was just a few blocks away bros...
>>72901085941% of their staff departs every year.
>>729015808Why is it ALWAYS her specifically? Had GTA San Andreas been made in modern clownworld timrs I can almost guarantee this bitch would have been casted as Kendyl.
>>729010514How pathetic am I if i am looking forward to this game more than anything else? Not to play it of course but to laugh at it with /v/
>>729016186cheap, available, willing to do any role, complies with DEI shit and it's a decent actress and voice actorshe's kinda like a freebie for game developers
>>729010514>Someone is putting in extra effort to make something I don't like>"You better be grateful"How about no?
>>729013363This is EVERYONE's steam review, buddy.
>>729016237Not pathetic at all. 2024 was so kino because it had so much wokeslop flopping
>>729010514I really, really, really hope that it flops and affects them a lot
>only have to work 3 days a week>complain when forced to "crunch" and work 5 days a weekgee it really makes you wonder why it takes 7 years to make a game these days
>>729015519The Last of Us 2 multiplayer existed in two forms. One that was going to be a post-release update and was in line with the multiplayer from the first game, and then at some point that got canned and spun off into a standalone F2P live service thing. The latter got canned after Bungie consultants laid out to ND just how much resources and manpower they were going to have to commit to having tied up for years supporting a live service game.
>>729010514We call these games "studio closers". How do they look at games that came before and decide to go through with it.
>>729016186She has a really good agent and she doesn't act like she's too good for the work.
>>729010514It will be more satisfying not doing nothing and winning then.
>work your employees like slaves to make a product no one wantswhat is this world anymore
>>729016803This world is ruled by satanic pedophiles anon, the refuse of Heaven that thought they could challenge the divine only to get their shit smacked out of them down to this shithole.
>>729010514Shan't
Watch as the game will magically have tons of totally legit players organically shilling this game with totally not at all paid threads and everyone calling them out is a doomposter
What, do they want a cookie for that? Crunch uses to be standard in game dev, all the best games were made working grueling hours in the last stretch to meet deadlines.That said, fuck them and fuck druckmanslop
>>729010856>>729014537Cuckmann's nearly two decades long reign of terror got everyone worth a shit at Naughty Dog resigning out of exhaustion or exasperation. There's no way a ND without someone to bruteforce his vision through with overtime and outsourcing would survive, so at that point why get Cuckmann out? Sony will just shut down ND.Plus I'm betting that many of the socially-aware people both at Sony and ND are aware that the game will flop with its overt Israeli-Palestinian conflict allegories in a post-Gaza War world and are preparing for the worst.
>>729010737Why, do you get to glass children from orbit?
no I just laugh harder when you also know that cucckkkmannn throws out ENTIRE chunks of their games if he doesnt like where it was going and also throws out the team working on it as well see the canceled multiplayer
I wonder, is that main character another self insert? Who's idea was it to ruin a whole game instantly with such an obnoxious, unlikable and tiresome portrayal of a karen girl boss?
>>729011327You think games get started by someone just opening up Unreal and jumping straight into coding? Nah man.
>>729017439That and youtube tutorials is pretty much what started expedition 33
>>729013563That won't work in the end cause they simply can't force people to buy their products or to remove all old games from existence, and all it managed was their Boogeyman getting another term, AAA industry is in shambles and now more than ever indies/asian/AA games are taking their lunchI find funny how all they can do is call everyone else a chud because it must make them seethe that they can't force anyone to buy the slop
>>729010732Console exclusive so they'll just claim it was a success and it would be hard to falsify.See Ghost of Yotei. . . it's trailing 15% lower than Tsushima yet shills act like it's blowing things out of the water.Games like this are protected hard by the left because they see it as owning the chuds. So all gaming journos, establishment gaming media (award shows etc), shills on forums will circle around and damage control.
>>729010514Why do they keep giving us news about this game? No one gives a shit they could stay 10 years in silence and no one would react >OMG WHERE'S INTERGALACTIC?!?!?
Seriously though, and I mean this in good faith. How do investors feel about this protagonist now that everyone has moved on from the culture war and identity politics shit? This would have fit right in back in 2017-2021 but it's over now, people have moved on from it, they're no longer interested and it's no longer in the zeitgeist. So who does this appeal to? I certainly don't hope they're banking on the lesbian bald asian women because maybe 3 people that look like the protag will be playing this game.
>>729016414Every time I see this image I think "this person should be publicly executed"
>>729017830Blackrock and friends are still pouring infinite monopoly money on many projects. It's all make believe if you're high enough on the totem pole. They WILL force the sloppah on us
>>729017552They can't make good games anymore so the best they can do is make the main character an ugly brown woman do they can blame failure on racists and misogyny
>>729017830I'm also puzzled by this.It was probably already in pre-production during the woke era. These types of games get funded by all kinds of NGO's. Not caring at all about gameplay, but spreading propaganda. In return the studio doesn't have to worry about production costs, so it will still be made even if it is a flop. Eventually the people height enough in the chain will be content. Some get their money upfront and others get their deranged message out. The average developer gets hit the most with the studio closing and then not getting any job opportunities anymore for actual great games, because every studio with no suicidal tendencies wants to have another concord-title on their hands.
>>729017552>they can't force anyone to buy the slopthey will be able to when thanks to ai data centers crashing everything with no survivors we no longer have access to personal computers and all our computing capacity depends on a streaming service paid monthly with out government plan
>>729016281>>729016186>Why is it ALWAYS her specifically?like mentioned, correct boxes ticked, but they also want to set Debora Wilson up to get Guineess World Records for most voice acting roles in gaming, have her show up at pozzed Game Awards etc.So they can parade her around a black woman as the GOAT, and "gamers love her" or something as a humilation ritual, when it was all just leftist nepotism and grift that she got all those roles.Heres someone talking about the same thing.7:31

>>729010514They missed a deadline on an internal demo. Sony is getting angry at Neil mismanaging the studio
>>729017830>So who does this appeal to?People always get behind high budget products, it's something I've been hating on for a long time now, as long as there's a "spectacle" that an indie dev can't produce, then people want it regardless of any other factor.
>>729018924>Extraction shooter set in the future about colorful three-man teams of criminals trying to rob the rich, sabotage other thieves, and escape with the lootIsn't that almost word-for-word the pitch for Hyenas? Why would Sony try to ape something that nearly gutted Sega and Creative Assembly, especially after Concord?
>>729018545>I'm also puzzled by this.I'm puzzled by people in <current year> still argue "it's to please the shareholders" and "it's to get as big an audience as possible".Variants of the above statements are years backlogged in being false I have to assume they're trolling and posting ironically.Actual shareholders don't believe that and neither do the corps implementing woke propaganda. Since they usually get the money up-front from taxpayer grift and Blackrock ESG. Disney/Amazon and Hollywood / Netflix on the regular just shit out propaganda and don't care if it flops, they just keep doing it. They have deep pockets for flops.
