No interest in playing as a female, it diminished my enjoyment of control for me, and that was a cool game.
Also ever since Hennig left the stories have been shit, not interested in some female empowerment kill all men viking story.

It's cool. I like the design of the first two. The third is alright, I just hope it's not the player character. If it is, I will just pretend the armor hides a womanly body 
. Well, I'm also fine playing as a mountain troll.
Anyway, this is a game with dragons, so I expect better (than TLOU).

I'm just happy that this is looking to be a new IP.
I know some were hoping their next title would have a sci-fi aesthetic, but the last couple titles had them create a lot of new assets with a focus on flora, foliage, and natural landscapes.
With that in mind it would make sense they would shift all of that work into a "traditional" fantasy setting.
I can already imagine large castles, fortress, and dense forests. The environmental artists at Naughty Dog are phenomenal.
Also, does every single fucking Naughty Dog related thread topic need to be derailed by the same tired discussions about wokeness, SJWs or female characters not being hot enough?
Even when the thread is about new positions being open some people on Gaf always find a way to turn it negative.
This new title might not even have the same directors. I swear Druckmann lives rent free in some of your heads...

Apparently this is an old concept art and currently unrelated to any project they have in development. Shame because it would be cool to see a dark fantasy RPG from ND.

I mean, there literally is one in Abby's base, though? And they have enough food to supplement the workout regimes if they feel confident enough to even attempt working out with weights in the first place.It's cool. I like the design of the first two.

Some people here seem to completely forget that a game is developed by a team of people, and not one guy.
Did we play the same game? These are incredibly well-crafted, realistic detailed character models much of which are based/inspired by real people. And part of being realistic is that they are not visually 100% attractive like most humans. They have uncanny humanistic flaws like butt-chins and that's part of the appeal. I can only wish that more AAA realistic games would put this amount of detail and effort into making character models memorable.
And anyway, "good looking" women is subjective.
But what's not subjective is the fact that these are well-crafted, life-like and memorable character models -- and maybe that scares you.
It's one thing to dislike the writing or director's approach, but to condemn an entire studio based off the creative choices of one person is absurd.
The hate boner for Druckmann have made some people completely unreasonable to the point they reduce all of the creative and technical hard work by a team of skilled, passionate artists, designers & coders to being trash. All because they didn't like the direction certain characters were taken in one title.
It's gotten ridiculous. Nearly every thread related to Naughty Dog is now typically full of detractors and critics needing to make it known how much they hate their games.
I understand expressing your criticism when the topic calls for it, but if you're obsessively hating on a game based on a few pieces of concept art by one of the many artists working at a studio, you probably need to take step back and relax.

The Naughty Dog "no gameplay" post rears its head
I'm struggling to find these games where you watch most of it
Hey, if you read "most of it not really playing a game" as "no gameplay", that's on you. I love ND games (generally), I've completed literally every single one from Crash 1 onwards, but I'm not about to pretend that holding a direction and tapping X to climb for hours on end in Uncharted is riveting gameplay. Same with rubbing up against furniture and tapping triangle in TLOU. They're (very intentionally) Hollywood level blockbusters, you stare at them because they look great, and then you play the gunfights/stealth sequences. Same as something like RDR2, which was my GOTY, but you do spend most of it pressing X to horse while listening to an audiobook. There's nothing wrong with it, but don't pretend it is what it isn't.

I look forward to comparing this to Dragons Dogma 2. Combat, creature design, and character design.

This needed to be said
If this turns out to be a new Naughty Dog IP it'll most likely be an amazing game and another masterpiece for the studio

Playing as a female made Control a worse game for you?? This sounds like a personal issue... no offense

Gives off Witcher vibes. That's more than fine with me; I'm always down with decent dark-fantasy, and I still think NaughtyDog can deliver.
Rules out any chance that the next game is a new Uncharted tho, doesn't it? I feel conflicted, it's easily one of my favorite game franchises - but it has had it's day and Indiana Jones is on the horizon. At least with U4 they retired the franchise on a high note.

Can't remember the last time a high class AAA studio tackled a medieval-western fantasy setting, particularly with a history in narrated, high budget storytelling such as ND.
Maybe there is BioWare with Dragon Age, but they don't play on the same level as ND when it comes to motion capture, visual world building and obsessive attention to detail.
At the very least, it will appeal to a large and often dedicated sword-and-shield audience, which their usual franchises might not appeal to. If handled right it will sell easy as water in a desert with how little competition there is on the market. Hell, it will sell tons on reputation alone.

Well they need to fap on something, if they can’t get a woman. I really tired of this whole “woke” bullshit. Play the fucking game you want and shut the fuck up.

The creative dept at ND need to overthrow the male feminist leaders. "But what if it was a woman", 1/4 profits apparently.

I live in the North, women who have a choice are much fancier than this.
It's becoming hard not to see beyond this given all the trouble they cause (they're not the only ones, but I don't see any white supremacy groups--other than the wokes--making "art" openly promoting their view).
What a time to be alive!
If you're down south I hope everything goes well enough tomorrow and that you guys find some way to give the voice to the regular people stuck in the middle of this social media induced mess.

leads to fear. Fear leads to xbox.
10 to 2 there are more games that stare male characters than females, give me a list and I guarantee I can give you a list twice as big
Did you play tloup2 and see where Abby is stationed?It's cool. I like the design of the first two. The third is alright, I just hope it's not the player character. If it is, I will just pretend the armor hides a womanly body

Nah, they hate women so much they'd rather play a game of pocket pool.
