Naughty Dog has spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars on a game that will never ship, and the team that built it is now years deep into a genre the studio has never proven it can handle.
Sorry for double posting, but this is basically its own topic.
I looked up the girl boss lead character in this game and "her" name is Jordan A. Mun.

Are you effing with me Naughty Dog, or has someone been tampering with my brain pills again? Or maybe someone's been messing with YOUR brain pills?
You couldn't have picked a more on the nose name, could you? I bet you're really pleased with that clever "A Mun" pun. I guess "Jamie Notta Wymon" was already taken?
This game will be dead on arrival. Nobody wants another ugly lesbian girl boss! Used to love Naughty Dog with the Uncharted games and the first The Last of Us. Neil Cuckman has ruined this studio with the firing of Amy Hennig and killing off Joel!! (I still can't get over that.) And then he made Ellie gay. This game is non-buynary for me! I refuse to buy this woke-ass crap!!
The combat in Uncharted was the weakest of all their systems and barely passible. Built by people who knew nothing about how to design a head-to-head combat system. Which is one of the reasons why Uncharted's "combat" was a majority of insta-kill/knockout ambushing with minimal physical or gun confrontations. But that's fine because there was so little combat in Uncharted you could put up with the pain during those confrontational parts, get 'em done fast, and move the story along.
I knew they didn't have the skills to do quality real-time combat, much less quality competitive multiplayer combat but they pushed on any way.
Now they're going to try again? The story had better be something else because Not-e Dog can't make twitchy action work.
I can't be the only one who looks at the blueish tinted shots of the bald girl boss and instantly sees the original (not Hayden Christensen) old, bald, scarred, wrinkled, sickly blueish and dying Anakin Skywalker when Luke removes Vader's helmet?
100% spot on. Intentional desexification of female characters to avert the "male gaze."
I'm diverting, Naughty Dog, believe me I'm diverting. You don't have to worry about my gaze, or my wallet.
Whatever happened with the 4B movement? That was a thing for like a month, and then down the memory hole it went. Methinks it was too direct and was alerting people who don't normally pay very close attention.

Neill Druckmann is the cancer of Naughy Dog.
This is what you get from Neil Sucksmenn in 2026.

Did you grab the import of the opening scene?
The character was making a deliberate point of shaving her head. This trailer debuted within a handful of days of the Trump inauguration.
4-B statement.
It's no accident that the shaving scene doesn't really matter to anything having to do with the storyline or gameplay.
