The Recreation Awards 2024 was capped off by Sony’s Naughty Canine revealing a model new IP that has been in improvement since 2020. Given the developer it goes with out saying that it’ll be a PlayStation unique.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is the primary new IP from Naughty Canine in almost 20 years. The studio has labored on nothing except for The Final of Us and Uncharted, so it’s thrilling to see them tackling one thing new and rather less miserable than The Final of Us.
The trailer leans right into a retro sci-fi vibe not altogether dissimilar to Guardians of the Galaxy. In actual fact, like Star Lord main character Jordan appears to have a factor for holding onto nostalgic objects; she’s watching 80’s anime, her ship has been branded Porsche, she has a Sony CD participant and is carrying Adidas footwear. It’s…properly, the trailer does lay it on a bit thick, coming throughout extra like advert placements than a part of who Jordan is, however hopefully the total sport will make higher use of it.
“Intergalactic stars our latest protagonist, Jordan A. Mun, a harmful bounty hunter who finally ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the skin universe went darkish tons of of years in the past” reads the official weblog submit. “In actual fact, anybody who’s flown to it hoping to unravel its mysterious previous was by no means heard from once more. Jordan must use all her expertise and wits if she hopes to be the primary individual in over 600 years to depart its orbit.”
I discovered it barely humorous {that a} sport titled Intergalactic appears to be about being stranded on a single planet. However possibly we’ll get to go to a couple of extra locations?
The debut trailer didn’t actually do a lot for me, I’ve to confess. The nostalgic sci-fi vibe has turn out to be overplayed in recent times and the trailer doesn’t give us a lot of an concept of what the sport will actually be, and even do a terrific job of organising the story or vibe. Nevertheless, Naughty Canine are a wonderful studio and I’m excited to see them do one thing that isn’t The Final of Us, even when I used to be form of hoping they’d go even crazier and return to their cartoony Jak & Daxter and Crash Bandicoot days.
