Still clinging to the vain hope that it's not going to be just like all the stuff Sony showed, eh?

I'm putting my PS5 Pro up for sale while it's still valuable. Probably will get more than I paid for it.
Done with this clown shoes company for at least a few years. Really sad to see how far they have fallen.

I love how people frame this as a spin off and they'll be back to Kratos.
It took 4 years to get from GoW to Rag and then likely 5 years to get to this. So if Kratos is the next game a 10 year gap?
A spin off makes some sense if you're developing concurrently, otherwise it's just taking the franchise in another direction.

They are ruining their top franchise just as fast as MS ruined Halo. The pussifcation of GOW is going to lead to poor PS6 sales. I remember when Sony took over the top spot it was because they had adult games. GoW Laundry isn't an adult game. Sony of Japan needs to wrestle away control from Sony of America.

Like it or hate it - I didn’t play it. But miles morales was a spinoff. Albeit for nefarious replacement purposes. The timeline of GoW entries means this replaces a main entry.
Anyway, I finally watched the Wolverine trailer and it looks to me they backed off ugly Jean grey. Or at least softened her looks a lot.

It should be no surprise though. Think of literally every other big sony exclusive franchise and their most recent release. TLoU 2, Ghost of Yotei, Horizon, Spiderman 2, and now goddess of laundry. That’s not even counting all of their new IP that has crashed and burned because it was so bad like Concorde or Forespoken. They are incapable of making something that isn’t garbage because it’s so built into their culture at this point.
PS6 is going to be a brutal generation.

That's really the problem here. This game might be fine, but if it means we're all waiting another 4-5 years for more Kratos... gay. Just make the game where Kratos goes to the afterlife of the gods to make them extra-double-dead and have Laufey be the interlude missions like Atreus was in the prior games.

There are really only 2 explanations
1) they hire shitty artists and model makers, then hide it as a “stylistic choice”
2) It is done intentionally
While #1 is an easy lever to pull as an excuse, that is frequently betrayed by other work in the game. Like that Mongolian fire demon dude looked pretty badass, so clearly they have some talent on the team. We haven’t seen other women in the game besides Sekmet, so it is also hard tell if the artists just flat out can’t render women well, kind of like how some artists can’t draw hands correctly

I have a theory:
The Marxist Playbook: How the U.S. Was Infiltrated From Within
Throughout the 20th century, Marxist revolutionaries recognized that a direct violent uprising was unlikely to succeed in the United States. Instead, they developed a strategy based on infiltrating and subverting key cultural institutions —particularly the education system, the media, and civic org
www.powermentor.org
Under subsection 5. "Media Consolidation"
This is actually a VERY interesting read and makes a lot of sense when reading the entire document.

Fix #1 by tossing all resumes that list CalArts in the recycle bin. I suspect you'd cure the vast majority of #2 as a side effect too.
Not really even a theory, it's a fact that that's exactly what happened in the 70's when the Weather Underground finally realized that they weren't going to win people over with bombs. Commies did it in the 50's too to escape scrutiny from McCarthy/HUAC. What's happening today is just a repeat of those assholes, except now that they have the internet they don't even have to hide.I have a theory:

I can't find the link at the moment, but the streamer lady who apparently spent 4 years writing the script/story for this travesty, gave a lengthy explanation on why current gen female characters are depicted so "realistically" in modern games, a tldr of which would be that the motion/facial capture is so good it picks up the defects these models have. Which is clearly total bullshit. If the mocap does such an awful job, then why use it? It is simply deliberately done.
Edit: It was a video by Alanah Pearce from 3yrs ago, its now been scrubbed off the internet afaik can tell.

ugly guys are fine with being shown as ugly guys, they just always make art where hot chicks bang them. thats why every 80s and 90s sitcom had an ugly dad and a hot mom
ugly chicks don't like being shown as ugly, to compensate they turn hot women into uggos in their projects. women are also wildly self delusional, most 6/10 or lower guys know they are just ok and use money/humor/talents to compensate.
ugly women always think they are 2-3 points higher than they actually are, and their friends don't tell them the truth while ugly dudes get checked by their buddies every day "hey faggot glad you didn't kill yourself today and came out to drink" is a normal way of saying wazzup

I work in the chemical industry, specifically in an area/process that could be considered “sustainable” even by the shitstain liberals that want to shut you down and don’t know how things are made.
We were huge in DEI. Huge. There’s been a serious downgrading on that the past year to two years. It’s been more about treat people good and don’t say slurs at work or sexual harassment. Our DEI group got eviscerated last year. Has never been brought back.
instead of DEI, our last all-hands talked about productivity, skill, and merit. I think the video game industry will lag but it will happen, particularly to AAA that owe stockholders money. Dev cycles are long. It will take time.
