The Game Awards 2024 was capped off by Sony’s Naughty Dog revealing a brand new IP that has been in development since 2020. Given the developer it goes without saying that it’ll be a Pl…
Yeah, I dont know about this one, chief. Initially I was kind of on board with it, I really liked some of the Alien-esque designs and seeing some of the logos of various companies was interesting. Particularly Porsche as a ship designer, and I liked the shaders they showed for the CRT technology. But then they showed the cockpit of the Porsche and I literally said out loud “Holy crap, that ship is huge, Porsche would never make something that massive.”
From the initial shots I was expecting something more or less the size of a fighter jet, not something that dwarfs a Lun-class ekranoplan.
I thought it might be some kind of take on F-Zero or Cowboy Bebop where the player is a race-driver by day, vigilante bounty hunter by night type of game. Which was pretty cool to me. But then the longer I watched the worse it got. The bounty dispatcher or whatever is a woman version of budget Snake Plissken and a smoker, but the voice actor sounded like she was lifted from a 1940s movie and had never smoked a day in her life (rare, I know, but still). I expected at least a hint of gruffness from her character and got absolutely zero of that. The main character was fine I guess, kind of bland so not really much for me to comment on.
I need to see more to really make up my mind on it, but as it is I am leaning on passing this one up. Plus its a Sony game and I just don’t like Sony at all. Also, all the logos kinda felt advertisey by the end of the preview.

I felt the same way when I heard her voice. Not near rough enough for how that character looked.
