s clash as Neil Cuckmann's latest game, spaceshit with bald black woman lead, is announced
3 main points of contention are:
- Marvel/millennial writing
I really didn't get that impression. "Marvel writing" is quickly becoming a meaningless term.
one liners, jokes, and sarcasm every other line of dialogue is what people mean by marvel writing
- Excessive amount of product placement, which kills the game for no fun chuds and makes it better and more immersive to soylennials. Also media literacy or something
Kids, they did that because the style is 80S RETRO FUTURISM.
this whole subreddit is wooshing so hard on the aesthetic of the game
It's creating a more relatable alternate reality that captures a vibe that we can sort of intuitively know and feel based on our real experiences with known brands
It kinda gives you the tone of the character imo. Like if Porsche is making space ships in this alternate timeline, it sort of informs us about the character a bit. It's not a junker rebel ship- it's badass, high-performance, and perhaps ostentatious and egotistical even.Why were 3 massive brands planted so obviously in the trailer? Porsche, Adidas, Sony?
Obvious 90s inspired retro futurism aesthetic. How are people not seeing this??
G*mers have some of the worst media literacy of anyone on the internet, are you really surprised?
- That last comment brings us to most discussed part of the trailer - is having a tattooed, bald Black woman protagonist (and a character with an eye patch) woke Sweet Baby globohomo propaganda or are they just strong, diverse and inclusive characters that enrich the players' experience?
We wanted masculine character lead again. Naughty Dog gave us their best: A bald lesbian
I mean the main character looks expectedly like a Neil Druckmann design.
Female, Asian, black, bald! The perfect combination ❤️ (can't tell if this is a
or a
lmao)
I immediately said "Naughty Dog" once I saw the bald and tattooed female protagonist
Also, a truke at the end

The defence of the product placement is fricking bizarre.
So? What the frick has that got to do with brands? I would say its bots but i never attribute to bots that which can be explained by r-sluration.

Sorry chud. It's literally impossible to tell that a sleek, well maintained, high-tech spaceship isn't a rustbucket without putting the Porsche logo on it.

There are multiple people in those comments saying that if the game invented fake brands like Cyberpunk, they'd be less immerse than when they're being advertised to with real brands

They point to Blade Runner using real brands as if Blade Runner had Harrison Ford using branded equipment. Blade Runner just whacked the Pan Am and Coca Cola logos alongside Japanese text on a cityscape in a few seconds of the film. It would only be comparable if Harrison Ford regularly showed the Smith and Wesson™ logo on his gun and the camera kept the Ford Motors™ logo in shot for the entirety of when he drove.

Looking back, the Taco Bell (or Pizza Hut, for international markets) placement in Demolition Man is pretty egregious. But I'm willing to give it a pass because the story makes fun of Taco Bell more than promotes it.

It's one of those surface-level associations for brainlets, kind of like neon lights and cyberpunk, or tattered clothes and post-apo.
