I am kinda leaning on disgruntled employee or subcontractor.

I mean, do you honestly believe that a hacker would have taken the files. have the game engine run, have the necessary SDK to "playtest" it and record it? If the leaks were pre-rendered cutscenes I would believe it....

Those are questions I would expect a games journalist to ask. Instead we've got Jason Schreir not watching the leaks, spreading misinformation about them being an old build from two years ago, and brainlessly regurgitating the corporate line about their provenance. He's such a fucking cockroach.

I've only played the first Tomb Raider reboot, and I enjoyed it, but it never seemed "woke" to me.

They made a more grounded version of the character and coming off the previous decade of "realistic" heroes like Jason Bourne, Daniel Craig's Bond, or the Nolan Batman films it didn't seem out of place.

Maybe something happened in the other two games that I’m missing, but it wasn’t the cringy in your face blame whitey gibberish that Wolfenstein turned into.

I played all the 2010s Tomb Raiders. The first one I thought was really good, though with too much cover shooting. It wasn't woke in the slightest.

Rise felt like I'd missed something from the outset. I liked the mythology aspect of it by Lara still felt too much like a traumatised gap year student a la TR13. Turns out there was a comic series that bridges the gap between TR13 and Rise. Nice going, Squeenix. Ugh.

The expansion to Rise felt a lot better and tighter than the main game, which was too padded IMO. There were too many arena battled which weren't really in character IMO. Terrified gap-year student, but able to mow down entire armies with an AK-47? Really? And not suffer from it?

Shadow was really good gameplay-wise. The platforming was top notch and the stealth was pretty good and they actually emphasised stealth and ambushes rather than cover shooting which was frankly boring. Unfortunately it tried to shoehorn itself into the "mytharc" from Rise. Bad idea. Should have been a standalone story where Lara stumbles across clues to a hidden Inca town rather than chasing the big bad therein. It could have done with more character development frankly. I mean, at the end Lara teams up with a group of people who are basically Morlocks. Time to insert a nice "he who fights monsters" angle perhaps?

Wokeness? Didn't really see any. Although there was at the opening of Shadow a brag about how diverse their development team was, which left a nasty taste. It wasn't like "suddenly, a troon with superpowers!" or "have I mentioned my representation quotient today?" I suppose Shadow could be "all the bad guys are men and all the good guys are women" if you really stretch it, but that didn't feel shoehorned in the way that the later Wolfensteins had it.

The number of JURNALIZTS who just reprint press releases are uncountable.

In the words of Cenk Ugyr, Armenian Genocide Denier: Of cooouurrsseeee it was a hacker.

I bet they're going to say its the Russians again. Trying to say its an early build when its April 2020. Nigger please. You spent hundreds of thousands on those mocap scenes with professional animators. Even if they were from 2015 you wouldn't get rid of them. Anyone who thinks this is deluding themselves. Only idiots believe these don't represent the full game because they're fucktarded fanboys. Fanboys are the most pathetic pieces of shit on the Earth. They will buy anything, consume anything, no matter how terrible it is.

And lol if you trust Jason Schreir of all fucking people, a wormy little fuck.

I watched through those clips and I think what's breathtaking about it is how helpless the girls are and how well voice acted it is. It's literally some jacked dude bashing two women to death with hollywood quality sfx and professional voice acting that laments a tortured exasperation. This will be the Loss of 2020.

The worst part about it is that they force you to do this to one of the main characters. And also to beat the other one to death.

I wouldn't put it past them to quickly change huge parts of the game now to say they were telling the truth. Every dev at Naughty Dog will be in suffer mode until the game is out, and when it is out it'll be enormously obvious they changed a lot at the last second.

Right now this creepy Druckmann clusterfuck is like the a bunch of guys with guns suddenly come upon each other and no one knows who to shoot tv/film trope so they just sit there frantically swinging their guns back and forth.

  • Do people go with the 'violence against women' outrage?
  • Do people go with the obvious creepy Druckmann tranny(ish) self insert porn?
  • Do people go with the tranny McGuffin used as a lame shock plot device only to be setup to be killed off in any possible third game?
  • Do people go with the creepy self insert Druckmann spitting on a beloved char?
  • Do people go with Naughty Dog is a victim of evil haxors?
  • Do people go with Naughty Dog is a villain and needs some lunatic leftwing union that is serious about made up pronouns?
  • Do people go with creepy Druckmann is a villain for hijacking a massive franchise for what should have been nothing more than his secret fanfict sexual fantasies?
  • Do people go with creepy Druckmann is stunning and brave for daring to subvert everyone's expectations by driving the franchise into a narrative ditch?
  • Do people go with just ignoring the drama, buy the game, and shrug their shoulders at how mind boggling lame what they just wasted 60 bucks on?
TERFs(a woman is a biological female), SJWs(real women have penises), left wing union activists(respect my made-up workplace pronouns), gaming media(shilling for access), youtubers(wrong think), gamers(just want to shoot some stuff when I get home from work or school), and drama whores who are screaming "Fight! Fight! Fight!" in the background.

I miss when Laura Croft used wear circular sunglasses and frontflip over Siberian tigers while shooting at them with dualies without giving a fuck.

Bitch met her alien clone in a cave and her only reaction was to figure out a way how to instantly kill it.

Okay, I don't think it was quite as blatant as you made it but there was one jump where she had to have reversed gravity to have made, and that's the one between two overhangs. As in, leaping from one 45 degree overhang to grab onto another overhang at the same level. That is a jump that can only be made by reversing gravity and/or phasing through solid objects. I don't recall that you could leap in the wrong direction and do a 180 in midair or anything silly like that.

The release date was changed to June of this year because of the leak right? How much could they possibly change and playtest in such a short amount of time? At best we're probably talking a slightly alternate ending
