The authentic retro 80s/90s sci-fi look is underrated.

Honestly, as a massive hobbyist of making fun of TLOU2 for winning every award at the 2020 Game Awards, over much more deserving games, this honestly looks pretty sick.

I was expecting the to make The Last of Us Part 3 (given how much they milked the IP in the time since). This looks like a really cool and intriquing new IP.

[up] It would be hilarious if the whole game is really a stealth TLOU 3 and this takes place in the Savage Starlight universe. You complete the "ending" and then there's a cutscene of Lev or Abby shutting a comic, and then the real game starts.

I'm actually impressed Naughty Dog has announced an original game.

They've been remaking and remastering Last of Us so many times that's series has more remasters than actual games.

They seemed so obsessed with that series it felt like they weren't doing anything else anymore.

I don't blame them. It feels undeserved of a "One More Thing" announcement, too be honest.

Plus, Burnout from Naughty Dog dick riding The Last of Us so much.

[up][up][up] The chat during the Awards proper was about the same. Namely spamming "woke" every time a game had a character who wasn't a white male.

I was happy when I saw the laser sword because I was worried Naughty Dog would double down on games like TLOU. I'm hoping that, unlike TLOU2, this game gives a lot of attention to gameplay. The story being better is probably a given.

In the meantime, is that gameplay at the end of the preview? I don’t wanna risk publishing the draft without certainty that rules won’t be broken.

I think it is notable that this game does have a similar kitschy retro-scifi look Concord had which is probably making sony a bit nervous. But I guess since the game's already very far along and Naughty Dog has enough pull that not much will change.

... I wonder if it's possible the two are actually set in the same universe. 🤔

Personally I hated The Last of Us but this game seems set up to be everything that's not when it comes to tone and gameplay. We'll see.

[up]I feel like if they can draw gamers in and present it differently enough from Concord, it should be fine.

Yeah I'm not too worried. Concord's problems where all about the Hero Shooter genre.

I put no trust in the sort of shitgibbons that think "Woke" is a valid criticism of something.

They mentioned before the trailer that everything was captured in-engine, which legitimately blows my mind. I have high hopes for this game to be fun if nothing else.
