That trailer had no hook and was just as generic as you can get. It’s like a chapter out of concord or a stand alone story. They already disabled comments, and the feedback seems pretty nasty. Like i said they would have been better going after one of their film rights like Masters of the Universe seeing Neil is very much like Kojima when it comes to making games that one would swear should be a movie.

I was in the same boat, the vibe between the synopsis and the trailer was totally different. Obviously, the game will reveal more, but other than looking good, I was kinda disappointed with it. Reminded me too much of Star Lords entrance to the MCU.

I didn’t think the Intergalactic trailer was bad, but I don’t feel they showed anything to get people too excited for it.
All we know of it is that like Outer Worlds, Cyberpunk and a lot of other games set in a dystopia corporations play a major role. There’s meele combat versus robots that look like aliens(?), 3rd person action game.
For me at least I need to see a bit more, before I can make a decision.

If anything, this proves that just because a trailer starts with the ND nameplate doesn’t mean that it will be received well… despite the assumptions to the opposite just a few days ago by some.

I am at the point where I don’t get excited by any trailers at all. All hype noise about something I have played a dozen times already. Hell, most games.
I’m getting old, I think.

Im generally in the same boat. The most you’ll get out of me is something along that lines of “oh, cool”

I think the hype for intergalactic trailer is due to this being Naughty Dog’s newest IP. The trailer itself didn’t show much to be negative towards it or enough to get super hyped about it. I thought it was an interesting introduction, but they didn’t show enough to wow me. However, it’s naughty dog, so I will most likely buy it day one. I just hope its not soulslike

It would have been hilarious to witness someone bashing the game because of appearance and such, only to cool off quickly the moment ND logo or “the creator of…” kicks in. That’s what the recent trailer did.

ND was long overdue, so it’s an easy guess. HL3 is Hail Mary.

Not sure how to feel about this one.

You should feel terrible, if true, because it’s an absolutely shit practice and just one of the many shitty elements we’re seeing out of Bungie since the HR director left and sued them for racial/sexual discrimination

Personally the new ND game looks meh, too similar in vibe to many games that have been released recently and quite a few that have flopped.
The amount of people proclaiming it the best thing in the show or the thing they’re most excited for “as ND doesn’t miss” really makes the fervent brand cult that Sony has built up come into focus - there’s even supposedly mature PS journalists attacking anyone disagreeing that it doesn’t look amazing or that TLoU2 wasn’t the best game ever made (PushSquare, take a bow as usual).
There’s a real danger for Sony if they start to believe their own hype - the weirdo fanatics may hang around but even those didn’t buy Concord, although I guess with the PlayStation Defence Force always out fighting the good fight and the “default” console position they’re safe enough.
Otherwise was much more excited about The Outer Worlds 2, staggered it’s so soon as I thought it was years away - obviously Obsidian like Playground will never get the recognition for being powerhouses that Insomniac gets…

Yeah everyone blamed Microsoft then blamed Activision (to be fair, Kotick always was an easy figure to hate but funny Sony doesn’t get any blame now), but now we’re all starting to realise Bungie were likely quite toxic and didn’t like having a parent company that kept them in line…

And Nintendo already won lol!
They will (twice if that make sense) when they announce the successor.
It’s just nearly impossible to catch up with Nintendo at this point in the handheld market, as a handheld has almost always been part of their strategy.
Thankfully though the market still has room for other companies to grow and make a ton of money.
