RIP Jak and Daxter

Crash and Jak are too low brow for ND.

In the trailer, they mentioned both. But then in Druck's tweet the other day he ignored Crash. And in this postcard, ignored Crash and Jak.

So you can see, the cartoony stuff may or may not get mentioned. But the UC and LOU will be.

 

[thefool]

Why the fuck is Abby on this card?

She's the main character of TLOU 2

 

[Bernardougf]

When completely out of touch dosent even begins to describe it.

Why does Joel look like he's dying of AIDS

There's a Neil joke there, but I don't know how to get there without crossing a few lines.

 

[Roberts]

This belongs in Outsider Art exibition.

 

[kikii]

thats AI generated by ladyboys ?

 

[semiconscious]

Abby and Joel in the same image as friends is one of weirdest and awkward shit ever.... a forever reminder of now bad ND and Neil fucked up.

the last of us 2's narrative is so awful that even naughty dog refuses to accept its consequences, & simply opts for juvenile 'get-along gang' fantasies ('they were all just pretending!')...

Crash Bandicoot is the property of Microsoft now. ND probably can't exploit the IP without authorization.

There's no way this is not meant to troll people.

The new character front and center, literally in the spotlights, the bizarre "welcome" ornament.

how is this trolling, this is like the most common trope in these kind of pics.

 

[ANIMAL1975]

Mother fu****s....

 

[farmerboy]

It's awful.

I really don't think I want to play as this person.

On the contrary, that image/scene absolutely sells it for me.
Firstly, on a technical level, the subtle facial animations are sublime. There can be no doubt of what she is thinking.
And secondly, the petulance and even arrogance already make me wonder what is in store for us as we play as her.

Seeing that face just makes me want to not care what it has to say. I also don't want it on my lawn.

Is that Kobe?

Yes

I just like to drop the gif in occasionally to get a reaction and it seems to work

 

[TintoConCasera]

They gifted Ellie a new guitar?

Didn't she lose her fingers or some shit?

How dare you not DM this

 

[ChoosableOne]

She looks much closer to her real appearance and looks nice. She should have been angry at the developers rather than the players, for making her look so unattractive.

 

[John Bilbo]

They are treating their characters like actors and actresses from movies or theater plays.

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

Lol intergalactic girl looks SO out of place it's hilarious

 

[Azure Crystal Gaming]

Dear Naughty Dog and CDPR and other companies that are bending the knee to the Modern Audiences. Here's mine:

 

[rkofan87]

wtf did they to chloe and drake??????????????????????

 

[BennyBlanco]

The hidden replies

 

[TGO]

only if you are ignorant who either does not play those games and listens to influencers or you are this asshole who wouldnt forgive abby in real life too lol.
Either way you are a bad person and tlou2 story probably flew right over your head

 

[rofif]

I know. That's called being a different human than someone else

Naughty Dog seems to forget or not care about their roots.

I understand that you might get some pushback with Crash (though I highly doubt Xbox would ever care) but missing Crash and Jak is sad.

 

[Ocean Dweller]

Lol

 

[Ridicululzz]

Love the way Abby is grabbing Joel LMAO

 

[sono]

That was nice of them

They "forgot or not care about their roots" yet they mentioned Jak and Crash in the massive new trailer for their new IP that was the final announcement at TGA. Your logic makes no sense and they haven't forgotten about anything. This is a holiday card and it features all the playable characters from their games over the last 17 years along with the character from their next big IP. It also very likely represents characters from all their currently active IP. TLOU Part 3 is all but guaranteed and there is a very high probability that ND is working on a new Uncharted game either fully in-house or in collab with another studio. Jak is likely no longer an active IP unless the movie does happen to come to fruition, and Crash is owned by Microsoft.


Boggles my mind when reading this thread, the amount bitching and moaning that can be generated by a simple holiday card. Folks like to manufacture drama.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Abby seriously putting her hand on Joel's shoulders

YOU DON"T GET TO TOUCH HIM BIATCH

It is as if Judas hugged Jesus.

 

[neocycle]

I really don't think I want to play as this person.

Me neither.

 

[Hohenheim]

Why the fuck is Abby on this card?

Because she's awesome of course!

 

[TheBreezyBB]

If the backlash was not strong enough ND and Sony wouldn't have cared at all.

Cause ND games sell themselves.

Show this card to any fucking sane person and they will say there's only 2 girls in there.

 

[TheKratos]

Where's Crash and Jak and Daxter. Is this Druckman card only?

 

[AtomicStarving]

Dog Shit

 

[PeteBull]

Because she's awesome of course!

 

[PeteBull]

Those games were too mysogonistic to get the christmas card spot, sorry.
ND 2017 and onwards on having male protag in their game:

 

[Edder1]

Shit gets more gay evey year

 

[Sophist]

Naughty Dog never owned the Crash Bandicoot IP. It was the property of Vivendi, then Activision, then now Microsoft.

 

[LectureMaster]

Guy who drew this art surely has a kink on her.

 

[Eliciel]

Thank you Naughty Dog for being fantastic. Looking forward to all that IS to come with Druckman, our eternal Captain.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

So much salt over a Christmas card

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Guy who drew this art surely has a kink on her.

Imagine bringing her home to meet family at dinner. Shaved head, remaining hair and eyebrows dyed blonde though her natural hair colour is black, double nose rings, tons of rings on every finger, multi ear piercings, freaky nails.

Wow.
