Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet - Neil Druckmann's latest blunder, now taking bets on the game flopping.

[General Emílio Médici]

I am gonna be honest, by itself the bald mystery meat woman doesn't bother me. The art direction looks actually decent.

But the context of who Druckmann is, what he has done in the past, his previous decisions and biases.... It all screams that this will be garbage and he will not waste any opportunity to fuck shit up.

Pretty much this. The art direction looks pretty cool, I'm a sucker for this kinda cassette futurism style. Shaved head protagonist chick, why not. It's a staple in SciFi.
But Druckmann being behind this, plus the tiny sliver of gameplay, that sours it all.

/edit:
But if someone made a game where you'd roam a cassette futurist galaxy or solar system as a bounty hunter, I'd love that.
I mean, it'd just be Cowboy Bebop The Game.
Which, come to think of it, would be awesome and should be made.

Retrofuture is an easy thing to fuck up; ask Creative Assembly with that terrible looter shooter they ditched and burned a lot on. So I'd hold off until the game's been leaked or out.

I don't trust Cuckman on shit, and I expect the people hired to this will be treated as abusively as the staff from TLOU II were.

 

[Jace on ice]

I think Cuckmann just puts in the game whatever makes him goon the most

Worst jerk off folder I've ever seen.

 

[Nick Gars]

I hope it at least has Beastie Boys' "Intergalactic" somewhere on the soundtrack.

Don't worry, they'll stick it in during the "mandated Neil Cuckman tranny sex scene".

 

[Chapalapachapa]

didnt the entire plot of this shit already leaked and it was another HERstory about how human are le real monsters all along? again?

100% that would be really cool..But the snippet of the cinematic gameplay that looks like it's doing the transition from cutscene to gameplay thing switches vibes to almost a Sci-Fi Lies of P.

Then there's the full description which proves my thought as the reality : Intergalactic puts players into the role of Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.

Why on earth would create a cool premise such as intergalatic bounty hunter which has clear variety to content and immediately go "AND THEYRE STUCK ON ONE PLANET. CAN THEY SURVIVE?"

Who cares? You've already killed your own fucking interesting premise.

 

[Asian tech support]

Fair point, but let me ask you this, who do you think plays movie games?

The answer you're looking for is normies but the real answer is no one because those games have fallen out of fashion outside of a small subset of, and this is in your point's favor, sonyponies. I'm not claiming the game is going to be a failure to end all failures, I just don't think Naughty Dog and Cuckmann hold nearly as much relevance or consumer sway as they did. Their shit has been thoroughly aired and they've hunkered in the bunker throughout the zenith of the culture war. Now that I think about it, that's somewhat conspicuous.

Pretty much this. The art direction looks pretty cool, I'm a sucker for this kinda cassette futurism style.

Check out Prey. Sseth just did a video on it.

It did, the Tl'dr is the evil bug monsters or whatever aren't the real threat the real threat is the future religious people who totally aren't a stand in for Christians and they hate the main character for being gay.

Ah, recycling the Survive Trilogy of Tomb Raider for ryona fuel.

Not shocking.

Also a complete fucking waste of the concept. Bounty hunting targets in space on different planets would've been the superior take. Or alternatively have it be on the same world to save complexity, but have multiple targets.

Lame and gay game that will get lamer, gayer, and filled with more broken women moments to fulfill his fetish when it gets leaked.

 

[Miller]

They made him look more asian than he really is.

If I remember correctly, the story is based on the concept of the Aliyah (the return to the Promise Land).

 

[DeadwastePrime]

okay but what if it's good?

 

[Meriasek]

Check out Prey. Sseth just did a video on it.

I know, I played like an hour or so but never finished it. Should really get to it because it is quite good.

 

[Ambidextype]

Under Neil Druckmann? No chance especially without someone that could tardwrangle him.

There was:

 

[Meriasek]

There was:

There was one in PS1 as well, but never released outside Japan, I think, and they're not really what I was thinking of here
They were also not very good.
Although the PS1 game has a good look, but it's just Starfox with a Cowboy Bebop paint job.

This feels like gamer slop to me and that pre-rendered 'gameplay' aint foolin nobody you coward.

3/10 enjoy the retail bargain bin.

 

[The Paleblood Vessel]

I'm aware we have no gameplay, but this entire game feels like one of those fake video games that you see in the background of TV shows or movies when they can't get an actual game, it's hard to explain why exactly.
What I am 100% certain about, however, is that I am absolutely sick of Sony using egregious product placement in their games because every single fucking game they make has a higher budget than the GDP of entire countries. We are literally in outer space doing shit and we're getting fucking Adidas product placement.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Seconding. It's basically System Shock but you can turn into a banana. Good shit.

I wouldn't even buy this from a bargain bin. The bargain bin is where you get hidden gems, not AAA movie game slop.

Yes but this is the trash that pads the bin that you have to dig through to find the gems.
The detritus or soil if youd rather.
