Who is the target audience for this?
You and the other annoying normalfags who will advertise it 24/7 free of charge.
The Modern Audience™ of course
>>740069528who is that, pray tell
>>740069503You keep asking that, as if their last game didn't sell millions.>Erm, but they didn't sell as many millions as they wanted.So? They still have a built in audience of multi millions.
>>740069503Larry Fink
>>740069503>Hot Badass woman with a non conformist hairstyle Its for me and others who arent cowards

>>740069503...is that hebrew on the arm tattoo?
>>740069503There's no target audience in the sense you think. The target audience are gamers and the purpose is acceptance of ugly people.
>>740069503I need to check whether she also shaves her pubic hair before answering that question.

>>740069542This right here is the only post ITT that matters.Everyone who refuses to engage with this point is, fundamentally, a coward.
Just shaved my head AMA
the modern audience, meaning the game will sell maybe a million copies because it's naughty dogg, but will be a colossal flop
people who watched alien 3

>>740069503Jewish propaganda by (((Neil Druckman))) to demoralise the goym.It's guaranteed that the story will have all the modern propaganda tropes.
>>740070005i haven't seen the trailer, only a pic of the protag and lost interest besides watching it crash and burn
>>740069503Angry lesbians?
>>740069542>built in audienceHave to agree with you, these games don't sell on their own merit at all.
>>740069551>a non conformistDamn, you are so badass. Can i be your friend?
>>740069503The bourgeoisie.I'm 100% serious, the only people I've met who like Naughty Dog games are rich and privileged individuals who have everything in the world handed to them. The type of person who buys their first house from their parents. You know the type.

>>740069503
>>740069526FPBP. Retards don’t realize that they are part of the feedback loop with woke games.>release promos for your woke game in the most aggressively progressive way possible >ragebait grifters make videos and tweets about how woke it is>progressive rags like Kotaku make articles and tiktoks about the ragebaiters getting mad>ragebaiters make more tweets and videos about the Kotaku articles>et ceteraThe way to beat this is to stop responding.
>>740069503>Who is the target audience for this?Shareholders who were told young people with money wanted more progressive values in their media.
>>740070360calm down, mr. chuddha. no one here is actually buying this game.the ragebait posted here has little to no impact on sales.
>>740070360100%imagine if we all just collectively ignored shit we hate. Suddenly developers can't find traction in online discourse, journos have no comments to write about, no videos to create. Just dead silence from the audience. Man, that would be a perfect world.
>>740069503Me. I loved Alien 3
>>740070519Even Whedon said his film was trash, you're a garbage person.
>>740070360You're right but fuck off with this redditjak shit.
>“I’ve seen horrors… horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that… but you have no right to judge me."
>>740069503Me nigga, I'm the happa kang
>>740069542>>740069824Partly true, brand loyalty isn't that big of a percentage as you make out.If it were, games like starfield and concord would have instant millions of sales.The reality is there are a lot of people who like TLOU and Uncharted so they will look at this game and keep their eyes open for trailers to see if this is something they'd like from a dev they know makes games they like.Just don't confuse it with>I like TLOU therefore I'll like this game and buy it at launchBecause>I like Skyrim therefore I'll buy Starfield at launchwasnt true was it?
>>740069542>So? They still have a built in audience of multi millions.they've built an audience for the last of us, and even then they've lost 50% of their fanbase. Their bald abomination will be an intergalactic flop
>>740069503People who demand woke shit in games and don't even buy games.Studios are forced to pander to these schizos by their marketing deparments and publishers.

>I don't make "fun" games.
>>740073193Uncharted 4 is fun though, and so is TLOU2
>>740073287No it’s not.
>>740073287Played it last year, only Uncharted I ever played cause I'm a pcniggerI expected the handheld climbing sections that are just there to deliver story, but I didn't expect the combat to be so fun. >seamlessly switching between stealth and going loud>scrounging for weapons while getting shot at>cover slowly being destroyed so you gotta moveOnly thing I regret was playing on hard so it was almost impossible to use the grapple without immediately dying
>>740073334well not for you because you didn't play them, but it was fun for the people who did
>>740069536No one. Just mkultrad yids making ugly shit because their women ruined their bodies and brains
>>740073287U4 is using the base of previous games. All Cuckmann forced was Nadine shit to the point Chloe's game tanked by forcing that ugly gorillaTlou2, again it runs from the talent behind the first game, not cuckmann cuck shit story He is some useless nepobaby forced in the company who never had any talent
>>740070195They probably haven’t told you this, but in the modern day people look at Israel the same way they look at India
Women who think they are men and men who think they are women
>>740069503People with a PS5 because there's no games to play on it, so ANYTHING will do.
>>740073591That looks pretty dated gameplay wise, like something out of the Xbox 360.We have dark souls and sekiro now.
>>740070195Nigga even fucking pajeets have better taste. Only your rat race is obsessed with ugliness
>>740069536Imaginary people that blue haired HR workers think will appear if you pander to
>>740074523your face is dated
>>740073669You can really notice ND reaching terminal Cuckmann-ness in the U4 DLC
>>740069503If it's good it's going to sell, if it sucks it's going to fail. But woke or anti-woke is not going to make a difference. It never does. There is not a single game that failed or succeeded because it's woke or anti-woke.
>>740069503Reminder that sick fucks will rip her model and make porn.
>>740069542They massively damaged and diminished that "built in audience" with their last game. A respected dev/brand can release a trash game and still perform extremely well, it's generally the next game they release after that which will suffer the consequences.
>>740074374The fuck?
Same retards who brought Ghost of Wokei.
>>740075087Consolecucks quite literally count the days between AAA releases so they can finally stop replaying that game from 2 months ago and play a new one. It's really funny
>>740074906Lol. I doubt it with how fuck ugly she looks
>>740069503Americans.They love ugly and manly women. Fat women too while we're at it.
>>740074859my favorite thing is when /v/ insists that because a game has shit woke writing focus was taken away from developing a good game, as if game development is a singular pipeline where no two departments can work at once and the egotistical writers kicked the poor programmers out of the office so they could write more nonbinary characters
>>740074859It's not going to sell because the main character is ugly and has no appeal to anyone except a few deranged ideologues like yourself.
>>740071458palestine lost you muslim nigger
I looked up the name of this game yesterday and I've already forgotten it, how do you make something so generic and forgettable?
>>740070576Nigga, that's Alien Resurrections
>>740069503Americans
>>740069542TLOUS 2 sold millions for two reasons:>it's the sequel to a beloved and good game>it's basically the game with the most production ever alongside rockstar's stuff.This game will only have the second reason, which will decrease the audience number significantly. Another point is that TLOUS 2 advertised itself as the pretty teenager and cool dad game.This game is trying to sell player as the ugly chink dike game, which will decrease the audience even more.
>>740069503Snoys
>>740069503This guy right here >>740075927
>>740076282>gamers are lemmings that can be tricked into spending $60 by the millions with misleading advertisingyeah i dont buy that. a game's word of mouth goes way further towards its reputation than any advertising
tik tok chudoids
>>740075748Because the real explanation is much more complicated but also a lot simpler. It's too many cooks. Every game has a dozen writers from scenario writers to character writers, main story writers and they all want to make it their own with conflicting ideas. And on top of that you have a creative lead or director who, technically speaking, has to sign off on all of it but if he doesn't feel strongly about one thing and very strongly about another the whole game takes on a different tone. As i said, it's a lot simpler but also much more difficult than just "hurr woke/anti-woke".
>>740069503Supposedly the "modern audience" which doesn't exists.
>>740069503Das juden
>>740069503The type of people who don't buy or play videogames.
>>740076443Normalfags are the ones that mostly buy these types of big budget slop. they don't follow or partake in gaming discourse. They just see a instagram post about how the game has released and received high critical reception and they buy it because it looks pretty and they enjoyed the previous game.
>>740069503Idk, but its certainly not me so I shan't be buying.
>>740069503Niggers
Reddit mods and other mentally ill/woke living on government disability who will be too busy complaining about something to play it. Also suckers who don't know anything about video games looking to buy somebody a gift.
>>740071526The opposite is true
>>740076656>Normalfags are the ones that mostly buy these types of big budget slopi doubt that too. normalfags buy fifa, call of duty, mortal kombat and gta or shit from a popular franchise like marvel. the people buying stuff like tlou are like a step or two above normalfags. think the type of person to buy animal crossing or schedule 1. not hardcore but not clueless normalfag. there's tiers to these things.

>>740073539I think Hard is still fine to run in the open, swing etc but Crushing is genuinely hard but a slog because it fucks all the fun out of the game by forcing you to play a cover shooter entirely.>>740073669>director of game>still makes a fun gameWhat are we talking about then, he assembled a team that made a fun game.

>>740076526Irl facemodel is much cuter and she's still bald
>>740069542It's on the downhill right now though. It was once too successful, now who knows? Too soon to gloat one way or the other, this game will make or break Naughtydog and either way they're gonna have to fight an uphill battle against the Internet. That's just Karma for making a Kike Game.
>>740069583you mean mass graves
>Y-You guys are just advertising for this game for free every time you make fun of it! That's why you meanies gotta stopFucking retards. Depsite the age old adage, no, all publicity is not good publicity. Now more than ever, shit will be constantly in the news cycle getting clowned on and when it launches, woah, what a shock, it fucked bombed, just like everyone said.Ask Concord, Highguard, Snow White 2025, Marathon, Forspoken, Ex Foto, Mandolorian and Grogu, etc.
>>740069503An imaginary genre of gamer that wants to play as an ugly woman whose rude and sarcastic everyone she meets. This gamer is cool with nonsensical spaceships shaped like cars and random 80s music despite being in their 20s
>>740069542>>740069824Here you go then, faggot. Here’s why you’re wrong. Sales only help sales on a stagger step, and in tandem with reviews. Last of us 2 sold well because 1 was a critical darling (though it still underperformed) while Intergalactic only has the controversial (at best) reputation of 2 to rely on. It could have been overcome if this was a direct sequel, but it also has to contend with a generally less normie friendly genre (scifi compared to zombie apocalypse,) sell audiences on characters no one knows and probably already have negative feelings towards, and all while pushing against the dog days of the worst performing console generation of all time as an exclusive. In short, it probably won’t bomb but you’re completely fucking deluded if you think it’s gonna be any kind of hit.
>>740084703If the marketing shills weren’t retarded they’d understand by now that no amount of publicity on /v/ translates into appreciable sales. The only exception is indie games where the dozens or hundreds of curious anons could actually make a difference, but any game rich enough to hire paid infiltrators is wasting their money. No one talking about these games ever actually intends to buy them. As a general rule /v/ discusses games, they don’t play them.
do games even have target audiences anymore?
>>740069526>>740070360>>740083690I have to wonder how braindead are you retards to think we are the target audience that will buy wokeshit? And you retards never learn.
make it and they will come
>>740069536
>>740085830marketers only market themselves. they use the chatter to validate their own efficacy. then with that quantifiable metric of efficacy, they can then deflect to literally every other aspect of the product to explain why, despite their provable efficacy, the product failed, but not the marketers. so pay them more.
Snoysclusive first party movies have sold 30 million less copies per year over the last few years. No one is buying these movies lmfao

>>740069542Even the normies have turned on Druckmann and ND after the second season of the show. Druckmann managed to coast a bit off decades of ND goodwill, but that ship has sailed.
>>740069503I really loved Uncharted 1-2-3. A shame they ruined it with 4 trying to make it woke and more grounded in realism trying to give Nate real life problems and concerns. Removed all the supernatural elements too. I hate Neil Druckmann. He makes everything feel sad and depressive.
>>740088110whenever I see this I wonder what he was thinking while awkwardly standing there shifting through all the poses he practiced in the mirror as zero photos were taken of him and people were actively screaming for him to move on so the next person could walk through
>>740088363It still is pretty funny
>>740070519So, contrarians. Gotcha.
>>740086184Remember to beat your kids when they act up
It'll be made for me if the gameplay's innovative or if it's a masterpiece, masterpieces are clearly apparent as such from any range. I can know all of a game's essence by seeing a video of it but it doesn't work with cinematic trailers. Story wise this game is clearly about jesus and his kin, have you awakened to the ghost of the empire which haunts civilization? I may be more of an anti-christ guy myself but that feels wrong.
>>740092054masterpieces promote exceptionalism. exceptionalism can't be allowed in the cyberpunk future.
>>740092203Exceptional works sell, exceptional people are loved in today's future which is cyber but not punk, though Druckmann is about to punk out as much as the videogame market allows him to.
>>740069503Grinding my cock on her bald head
>>740092451>Exceptional works sellProve it. Go list the highest selling entry from, say, call of duty.
>>740070249True, because they have nothing else, either this or play a gacha.
>>740093249>Go list the highest selling entry from, say, call of duty.>A 2024 court filing revealed that Black Ops 3 had sold over 43 million copies[...] making it, to date, the best-selling Call of Duty game of all time.Yeah, BO3 kinda sucked.The 2nd best sellling COD was BO1 and that one was kino, though.
>the year of our lord sometime in the future (idk the setting of the game but it's sci-fi right?)>not using a skull shaver
The Last of us was exceptional but the Second of Us wasn't exceptional.If Heretic Prophet leans too hard into pop 70's sci-fi then it won't be exceptional unless it rebuilds 70's sci-fi for itself by the roots.Uncharted was exceptional for exactly 1.27 games. Jak 1 was exceptional, i knew it but the bestiality of youth deceived me. Bandicoot wasn't exceptional or else i would have wanted it.
>>740078627Fuck you!!!
>>740078692It's literally the easiest thing in the world. All you have to do is do nothing. Nothing is easier than doing nothing. Or do you have no impulse control?

>>740093249Got me there but there are two spheres of popularity to videogames etc. : the inner circle of enthusiasts (millions of gamers) and the general public (20 millions+). Can't mix the two types of popularities or else we don't know what we're talking about. I ignore the general public because they would tastelessly play anything so their actions have nothing to do with videogames and neither does Call of Duty.Example of Dark Souls to Elden Ring. Before the general public can access a game it first needs to sell amongst gamers. Demon's Souls types are reserved for an even more selective group and the circles continue inward. If Intergal Action can wow the /v/irgins with non-standard gameplay and an endearing MC (most important character) then it will prove exceptional or die like the cucked lesbian game though it tell you, the second i see a health bar, an arena or an inventory screen i'm out of this thread.
Neil Druckmann?

>>740095401fromsoft is also a bad example, as their games are predicated on hiding the fact they're just rhythm games with initially obscure/obfuscated prompts. Not enough people realized this in time to call it out.
>it's been 20+ years of corporatized internet and they still don't understand attention economy.even making this saged post is a dangerous gambit.
>>740069542>You keep asking that, as if their last game didn't sell millions.Would Last of Us 2 have sold half as well if Ellie were bald instead of having her conventional female haircut? Genuinely asking, because I think bald females are too alien and unpalatable to normies. You genuinely don't see them anywhere media.
I'm not afraid of bald women. You can't scare me with your pictures.
>>740096445the "attention economy" is a nonsense concept made up by marketers to justify being paid marketers. >>740086321
>>740096205That is reductive to the point of nonsense and even besides the point. Dark Souls 2 sucks by the way, that's a political statement.

>>740095469She looks like this because Neil likes women like this and is friend with this person. He's put it our there by now so it's not hard to figure out it's his fetish, he's not catering to any crowd he's catering to himself, to his dick.
