Intergalactic is on fire. After two weeks, criticism of Naughty Dog's trailer has not subsided
The unveiling of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet at The Game Awards generated immediate buzz, quickly followed by a storm of controversy. The game's protagonist and thematic elements sparked intense debate, with accusations of a hidden "agenda" from a segment of the gaming community.
Neil Druckmann and Tati Gabriel's attempts to quell the criticism backfired, only intensifying the backlash.
Seventeen days later, the controversy shows no signs of abating. The announcement trailer polarized viewers, garnering a staggering number of dislikes on YouTube. On the official PlayStation channel, dislikes surpassed 260,000, dwarfing the 90,000 likes. The Naughty Dog channel fared no better, with over 170,000 dislikes outnumbering the 70,000 likes. Comment sections were disabled in an effort to contain the fallout, but the discussion continues to rage across social media platforms.
However, the future of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet remains uncertain. Naughty Dog's history demonstrates a capacity to transform initial negativity into triumph. The game still has the potential to defy expectations.
This incident underscores a significant challenge for large game studios: navigating the increasingly complex and demanding expectations of their audience.
