The trailer for Naughty Dog's next game: Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet looks positively awesome. If features good character writing and performance - something that I look for in this studio's titles.

One thing took me aback though. You know how they say no new James Bond movie will enter production until they secured enough product placement deals to make a profit on the film? This trailer suggests something similar.

Nor sure how I feel about it. Maybe I just did not like how in-your-face it was - it didn't bother me as much in Kojima's Death Stranding...

Anyway, Reznor and Ross are making the score. If nothing else, there's gonna be some good music to listen to!

I think the product placement is meant to invoke corporate overlord cyberpunk vibes, but it's difficult to pull that off while still wanting to make money from Adidas and Porsche. It will probably be a great game, I hope they get the tone/vibe right though.
