So what do we think about this? And they better be working on Last of Us Part III in the background.

Looks interesting. I wonder what the gameplay will be like, but I'm sure the voice acting will be incredible. The main character has a unique look, and I'm sure Laura Bailey will be involved somehow. Haha.

There's really nothing to say about it till we see some gameplay. Is in an action game? A shooter? An exploration game? Is it open world? We have no idea what type of game it is so it's hard to get interested.

The lead characters design is meh. I do like that they're doing sci-fi now, it's a nice shift from Uncharted and The Last of Us to do a game in outer space.

It sounds like it's Last of Us but with sci-fi and against robots and space pirates instead of Clickers and cults. If a leak is to believed, you don't actually get to fly the spaceship... you just crash on the planet at the beginning and stay there throughout the game.

I think the weapon she uses will double as a blade, so I can see a more action driven game too similar to Stellar Blade, Nier Automata, Devil May Cry, etc.

The Last of Us Part III is obviously in development too but I'm guessing we won't see it till the Playstation 6 generation. Uncharted is pretty much over, and The Last of Us will probably get one last game and then that'll be it. It's hard to believe the first game came out way back in 2013, it'll be close to 15-20 years before they get the third game out. It's a far cry from the PS1 and PS2 days when you would get entire trilogies on the same console just a year or two apart.

But probably with the same stealth mechanics from Last of Us. Prone-position sneaking under stuff to hide from robots, "mudding up," etc.,

So far this one is being doted as the next in line of attempted 'woke' games than nobody will buy and the devs will blame gamers over it. Apparently it's dislike ratio beat Concord's dislike ratio.

It looks like it could very well be that, but I'll reserve judgment until I see a little bit more about it.

Admittedly their character designs have been getting uglier and uglier. Ellie was based on Ellen Page (when she was a woman), which is why she's allowed to still look cute, but everything after with Abby and now this woman are meh.

Not saying every female videogame character needs to look like Lara Croft or Tifa or whatever, but c'mon.

Oh no... why do they always do this? It always, always ends badly. Here is the main actress, Tatiana Gabrielle, responding with "Fragile Masculini tea" and "100% incel tears" and "you mad bro?" in a now-DELETED post.

You see? I was willing to give this a shot. And just like that, now I'm actively rooting against it.

You sure? When the trailer appeared, most everyone was turned off by the ugly and unlikeable main character. I figured you'd sniff the 'woke' and be turned off from the getgo.

See, I'm OK with APPEARANCES and I've actually enjoyed seeing that actress in things like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. It's just quite another thing when these people come out actually come out, let the mask slip and they tell you that they loathe you. You know, that they find even the scant notion that maybe they'd want or need someone like you to support their project is all-out laughable to them. All that's missing is the usual pithy, "Don't like? Don't watch!" Or buy, in this case. And now I'm betting people largely won't because we've been seeing this again and again with games like Star Wars Outlaws, Concord and that new Dragon Age game.

I'm even one of the people that really dug Last of Us Part II. Yeah, obviously Druckman has a hard-on for being able to talk about how equitable and inclusive he is of races and body types at cocktail parties and I think it's stupid, but the story itself was powerful and I wasn't deterred by people on the right decrying it all as "woke" because I didn't feel like these people in charge were necessarily making light of their fans/players/buyers. That, or at least they knew how to shut up about it.
