how fucked is sony? why arent they pulling a sonic the hedgehog movie and redesigning the character?
>>

plus they have enough marketing budget to make it sell decently so it will probably two-three more games like it to kill the studio

Wolverine still got some decent sales despite the entirety of social media clowning on it, and this game is probably going to be way less bad(if more annoying) of a game.
It will not sell enough to recoup the budget but it won't sell anywhere near bad enough to kill the studio.

only redditors who actually want woke and turbo-casuals who didn't notice naughty dog getting overtaken by that godless piece of shit cuckmann. everyone else is just waiting to see how veilguard-tier it'll be by release to laugh at it. ideally, someone is going to leak its most ridiculous moments beforehand so /v/ can have a party.

Marketing could not save TLOU 2 which was already an infinitely more popular franchise. It's hard to explain how DoA this is, especially since they can't even use mutliplatform release to mask the shit sales it's going to have.

This is probably taking so long because both ND and Sony knows that if it flops, it's bye-bye for them
Druckman doesn't have an existing IP to ride on this time, which means this will be the essence of the general negative feeling people got off of TLOU2, so it has a good chance of not sticking well to the public

This would need to sell 5-6 million on launch alone to be profitable. What's going to happen is it'll probably sell 2.5 based on ND's name alone, and then it'll crater. The game is likely to get a permanent discount inside a year much like TLOU2.

yet he still tried to hang onto old IPs in the trailer by reminding the viewers that they're the studio who made old beloved IPs like uncharted. they even mentioned jak & daxter which was all but forgotten by ND since uncharted's success lmao. but it won't save this weasel from failure.

>why arent they pulling a sonic the hedgehog movie and redesigning the character?
Because first impressions matter a lot. Especially if it's the only footage that was left to simmer in people's memory.

Donte was an emaciated smoker in the reveal trailer. People shat on him and they made him a buff nonsmoker that fucks whores. It didn't work, he was still memed as an ugly emo bitch.

They whitewashed the Fable 4 protagonist after years of marketing the game with that ugly goblina. It won't work, people are still shitting on "high cheekbones" head turn scene lol

Aloy was a bloated fat monster pig in the reveal trailer. That scene has been cut from the game and they made the creature slightly less fat. It didn't work, people are still posting Nikocado avocado edits.

Even if they slap some nappy wig on this ugly creature, it would not be enough and I will never ever buy this game because they're the same people behind it, they'd do it out of layoff fear not out of artistic repentance. For this game to even steal a glance for me they'd have to pull a brutal chud/virtue signal 180 and make a spectacle out of it. Like firing Cuckmann while denouncing his Zionist heritage and make a gory and funny execution video where this goblina protagonist is revealed to be a decoy protagonist that gets killed by her cute Asian replacement.

This is of course extreme but nothing less than that can salvage this game in my eyes (context: I speak for the entirety of the Chinese consumer base).

Technically now that the PS5 got jailbroken one could extract any game to PC, mod it and then make it playable on the PS5 again. Meaning a) you could get this for free b) you could get it modded to look however you like c) you could play this on PC. Same for GTA6.

Can´t say if SONY is allowing it to happen to see if they can sell more consoles though... Far as i know their sales have stagnated but with RAM and GPUs prices high thanks to AI some may think a jailbroken PS5 could be a good deal.

To these people there is no question as to whether they should redesign the character, their whole moral framework is based around 21st century feminist drivel, if they didn't have the main character have a sloping forehead like a neanderthal that would be bad because it appeals to men and would show adherence to fascist attitudes. If it fails, even if they know this is the reason why, they will keep pushing it because to them it is a moral absolute and they are right. Its like telling you or me to stab a kid, it's so completely out of our moral framework and so wrong that we'd just go 'wtf dude'.

I actually think that this game has a good chance of killing this character design direction for good.

Every original IP with a female protagonist bombs hard unless she's hot, and I don't see any reason to believe that this is going to be any different. If Joe got off work from the docks, started scrolling on PSN, saw a $5 price tag, and then looked up to see this disgusting ape who you can smell through the screen staring back at him, he'd keep scrolling. The wildcard is that it's made by Naughty Dog, but that didn't save Bungie, Insomniac, or Bioware. I don't think that seeing the Naughty Dog label would change Joe's mind.

Karen will roll her eyes if you make the female characters hot as a shaming tactic to remove women who are more alluring than her from the environment. If you are an absolute gutless simp who lives in constant fear of Karen's disapproval, the safest bet is to make a bunch of ugly female characters important to the story and then mimic exactly what Karen would say if guys want the bar to be set higher than Karen.

>it sell decently
It's currently at around $600,000,000 budget. Six Hundred Million Dollars. And the game still has a year until it's released. And that's a lower estimate just based on the previous studios work and it's current in development time.
If we're being realistic, it's probably going to be at around $800,000,000 by the time the game releases. But lets just assume a conservative estimate of around Five Hundred Million to Six Hundred Million for arguments sake.
That is roughly 20 million sales. And that's JUST to break even.

The Last of Us 2, a considerably more popular and established franchise sold only 10 Million. It should also be noted that 2 sold worse than 1. 2 ruined a lot of the good will of the franchise and by extension, Naughty Dog. Furthermore, this also translated into the show itself doing poorly with Season 2 also being received extremely badly, having worse reviews and worse viewer retention.

Going even further however, what you're also ignoring is studio potential - as in; what they could have been doing in between this if they were not spending hundreds of millions on this.
I'm sorry, but I just don't see this game making money. I could be wrong, I'm not infallible. But the math does not add up.

It's cowardice. They're terrified of the lefty social media backlash if they change ANYTHING about the character to make her more attractive or likable, because not an inch of ground must be given to "the chuds." They're banking on high review scores from their access media servants convincing normalfags to purchase the game, because as ever, political social media junkies do not buy games and catering to them is a hopeless fool's errand.

Unfortunately it seems like it has reached the stage where they will quite literally just pretend it's successful no matter what. Specifically Sony has a history of faking their it with all the bundle bullshit or when they tried to force steam players into making a psn account. Why do you think they moved away from steam again? They don't want anyone to know any actual metric, especially after the embarrassment that was stellar blade being "their" best selling game on steam while no one gave a shit about their flagship exclusive titles. I'd be surprise if this doesn't release to critical acclaim, "strong numbers" and having all the "player engagement" and then it is just forgotten when the marketing campaign ends.

Sony has been looking for an excuse to axe ND for good ever since Uncharted and Last of Us 2 both started to "fail to meet expectations" and lost them hundreds of millions of dollars in "projected" profits due to wokeness, and this is going to be it. These things just take time because companies have a lot of good will built up. For example, BioWare took over 15 years to die despite releasing constant flops including the fucking TORtanic.

I like how wokes cling so hard to the Odyssey. Congratulations, you took tens of thousands of swings and got one hit because the director was riding high after Oppenheimer. And it did literally nothing to staunch the bleeding because what you need to is for faith in western entertainment to be restored, and The Odyssey did not accomplish that. Everyone that I talked to disliked the movie.

I knew the odyssey's numbers were a lie the instant the shills started the week two "imax theaters are sold out for months!" campaign, because i actually live in one of the handful of cities with a "true imax 70mm" theater and it was never sold old here after opening night.
it's also on its face simply improbable that a movie that opened to the numbers it did and faced the kind of criticism and lack of any organic public interest that it did, and initially had international audience numbers LOWER than domestic (something that almost never happens, and is a clear sign of fraud, money laundering/corporate bolstering) somehow went on to earn over 10x its opening weekend with hugely over-compensated foreign (i.e. we can't really track them) vs domestic numbers.

nolan odyssey was the 2020 USA Election of box office movies. nothing about it added up at all and the globalist shills and propagandists were in full overdrive mode deflecting and calling anyone questioning it a liar and a conspiracy theorist, etc while providing no explanations to any of the mountain of analytical or sociological discrepancies that all pointed to obvious fraud.

One thing that’s been evident here for years is how dishonest anons pick out woke elements from genuinely bad games and claim these are the reason the game is bad, rather than, as is actually the case, the poor gameplay design. Or vice versa, woke elements are ignored in good games because the game is too good to pass up. It’s all about perpetuating the narrative that a game is always bad if it contains anything woke, and to that end, the typical culture warrior is happy to lie through his teeth rather than think about these issues in a more nuanced way. I do believe, however, that you genuinely believe this, because you clearly conflate political views with ability, and you’ll probably try to respond with nonsensical anecdotes. The truth is, though, that developers who aren’t against wokeness make up the majority in the industry, and amongst them there are both good and bad developers.

Unironically? Yes.
People want gaming to improve more than they want it stamped underfoot. If Naughty Dog just came out and said, "We've heard the criticism, we get it, we're going to make changes to give players the experience they want, starting with the appearance and personality of the protagonist; here's the new trailer, tell us what you think," then most people would be pleased or at least mollified.
The key is that it has to be a Sonic The Movie-level fix. They have to openly own the mistake and make the drastic change, not just quietly tweak it slightly.

It was enough for the Sonic movie to go from being ridiculed and mocked, to being the highest grossing video game movie of all time and creating an ongoing 4+ movie billion dollar cinematic franchise.

Generally speaking, I don't actually support changing your vision to placate audiences, but people who make woke ugly trash don't have a real vision, and you have to make something that actually has an audience in the first place.

LoU2 sold 44% less than its predecessor. It "failed to meet expectations" to such a degree that they cancelled all active projects in the franchise and went back to the drawing board.

Intergalactic is the make it or break it for ND and rumor has it that internally Sony execs are in full panic mode because so far the reception of the trailers have been abysmal and the budget is out of control. ND are burning through insane amounts of money making this game that could flop and fuck them in the ass so hard it could kill PlayStation. Too many big budget flops one after the other.

Left wing ideology is the blank slate liberal noble savage mythology, and that can't survive things like one woman being intrinsically worth more than another because she's more attractive. Their solution is to drag everyone down to the absolute bottom of the barrel and present overachievers as tyrants and thieves. The protagonist here is about as ugly and unfeminine as they come, and left wing ideology is why they're doing it.

>>750217019
On the flip side, the right's goal is to push civilization, and there's plenty of room to debate how to balance fun vs. duty. I'd say that there's no moral issue with sexualized drawings and sculptures and that the west's aversion to feminine women has been a complete evil.

The number of copies doesn't matter as much as the price at which the copy was sold. Sony bundling it into everything like flight sticks and consoles means it wasn't performing well enough to warrant being sold on its own.

Odyssey was astroturfed like The Marvels, which is why it had zero cultural impact or staying power.

Spider-Man 1 wasn't woke, but the 2nd (or Miles Morales) was, but sold on the strength of the brand with people uniformly shitting on the woke parts.

It's a completely different situation. Nolan was riding on the success of Oppenheimer (not to mention his previous movies) and The Oddysey was packed with big actors, like the fucking Spider-Man and Batman guys. There was no reason to expect the movie to be anything but a big success, it's just so happens that online chuds got tricked by Ben Shapiro and company into thinking the movie could fail. All the major characters for The Odyssey were fucking White and the source material was a perfect fit Nolan's storytelling techniques.

Intergalactic hasn't shown any gameplay so far, and Naughty Dog hasn't released a new game in ages. The game development is allegedly way over budget and they have nothing to show for so far. Neil Druckmann has lost most of his goodwill because of the TLOU Season 2 debacle and his overt Zionism. Then there is extra bullshit such as the game being a PS5 exclusive and having a brown ladyboy as the main character.

What would they have to redesign this character as to even have a fart's chance of you ignoring all the woke horseshit Naughty Dog and Sony have done up until now?

They're going to use their current method: use 3rd party sales 'analysts' and make them throw out 'estimates' to give an impression that their games are selling well while not saying jack shit about how they're really doing.

NTA, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary in my playthrough and did not pursue anything remotely close to romantic with the male characters. The game tried to push Halsin and the Emperor onto my character. I don't understand why you people keep lying about this.

no, gta5 is woke because they made the insane meth head psychopath explictly anti-racism/bigotry. you are two skips away from a tranny yourself.

BG3 isnt woke in the same way most woke flops are because it was an entirely self funded European project. All the gay shit was in the game to appeal to the audience of perverts and hambeasts that play D&D. Also because Europeans are crazy sex perverts themselves.

Meanwhile most American woke games are so only so because of Blackrock enforcing ESG standards and HR foids hiring ideological morons and unqualified minorities, as it was proven to be the case with BioWare.

neil cuckmann is the most arrogant person who's ever worked in the gayming industry. he calls himself a "philosopher gamer". anyone who doesn't shower him with praise is just a retard to him who can't understand the brilliance of his work.
>>750194890
to be fair, cuckmann personally contacts popular youtubers to beg them to promote his shit games. he wrote jacksepticeye on twitter before tlou2's release (which he admitted while playing it) and jacksepticeye proceeded to praise the game nonstop in his playthrough and kept repeating how people should PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE buy it. unironically more cringeworthy than any begging dsp ever did. phil's playthrough meanwhile was the most entertaining one because he freely shat on tlou2 the entire time. even made his haters agree with him for once.

that theory would work if sony had a monopoly on the international gaming market. but they don't. if company A produces shit, but companies B and C produce cool stuff, consoomers will eventually just buy the games from B and C. meanwhile company A goes bankrupt.

economy isn't politics. in politics any retard who loyally does what his higher-ups tell him can rise to higher positions. in the market anyone who doesn't cater to consoomer tastes crashes and burns.

a cartel situation would work as well as a monopoly on the gaming market, true. if the competitors A, B and C coordinate their products to be streamlined dogshit, consoomers wouldn't have any alternatives to choose from.

doesn't apply irl though because the clever chinese ruthlessly profitmaxx. if western studios want to shrink their target consumer groups to redditors, china will gladly supply all the remaining consoomers with their games.

gotta give the naughty dog employees some credit; they resent cuckmann for forcing them to crunch just to finish his stupid game ideas, hence why tlou2 got leaked by one of them. we also know that cuckmann bullied anyone who doesn't agree with him all the time out of the company, like amy hennig.

i think plenty of guys at naughty dog are aware that they're going to need new jobs once cuckmann's final "brilliant idea" kills the studio. but they don't really have much of a choice in the matter anyway, so might as well get those paychecks while sony is still paying them.

but outside of a vocal minority most people who buy the game have no strong opinions on the protag, I mean I don't like it either but I'm not deluding myself into believing most people think the same when that's obviously untrue. Any drastic post-trailer changes will get blasted into oblivion by the press and just swap over the morons on twitter from one camp to another, they'd have to be truly desperate to even think of doing that.

eh, I think gta will put a better spin on it since they're both characters that interact in the game rather than just reskinned protag with minimal impact on the game. I'm expecting to be disappointed given how little the core structure of gtas have changed over the years but it's ok to hope.

Woke shit aside which everyone hates, this game isn't going to be liked nor be received anywhere close to The Last of Us. Especially not by the people who actually buy their videogames.
We didn't have over 10 years of 3rd person over the shoulder story based PS5 exclusives shoved into our faces. We had actual videogames that promoted time-investment, mastery and gameplay-first design.

Everyone is tired and bored of this same god damn cycle.
Wondering around a linear level just talking and talking to some NPC you can't hear off-screen while you're doing some braindead puzzle that serves seemingly no other reason to exist other than to bloat the filesize and playtime before the next cutscene starts or you get into that fight area, except the combat isn't good enough to be called an action game in the slightest and there's no RPG mechanics other than a linear skill tree that you're going to level up cause you're forced to.
Give me a new Rez or some shit instead of this focus-grouped fucking trash made for people who want to circle-jerk about how they "perfectly crafted this story".

Also unlike Sonic which was a model swap(and some reshoots) this would be a total recasting which means contract termination payouts for the current lead and full redoing of all motion capture both for the game and the cutscenes. What's really funny is that at the time of the reveal trailer they hadn't even started planning the gameplay. So the game part of their new game is still a mystery not only to us but to them as well. They wasted all that money on motion capture for a trailer to a game that could, for all we know, be a shitty mobile grinding game.
