I love movies and games about isolation. I think, in my ideal reality, I\u2019d be aimlessly floating in a little space station, with excellent wifi and perhaps a module for my wife and kid. When I see such circumstances represented in games, I\u2019m always absolutely intrigued. From <em>No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em> to <em>Subnautica<\/em> to <em>Raft<\/em> to 2008&#8217;s <em>Minecraft <\/em>even, I\u2019m so drawn into the serenity of solitude. And despite having a name I cannot remember thirteen seconds after last typing it, <em>Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet<\/em> immediately gave me those same vibes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">It\u2019s not a genre vibe, I should add. Clearly this looks like a fighty-fighty game that sees you battling evil robots, rather than some sort of survival sim. It\u2019s just about being someone who\u2019s content with their own company. A misanthrope? No, not quite. Let\u2019s go with \u201cintrovert.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">I also just instantly liked the character. Apparently she\u2019s called Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter, clearly pursuing an obsession that her agent wishes she\u2019d leave  alone. The newspaper clippings on her ship show that she used to be part of a legendary band of criminals called the Five Aces, and among their number was the person she\u2019s now chasing: Colin Graves, played by actor Kumail Nanjiani (<em>The Big Sick<\/em>, <em>The Eternals<\/em>). We can extrapolate that the gang broke up, and now she\u2019s hunting them all down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">Mun, played by Tati Gabrielle, is just so immediately personable. She\u2019s twinkle-eyed, gleeful in her refusal to follow her agent\u2019s advice, and thanks to some stunning motion capture and art, conveys vast amounts about her character through the smallest expressions. I want to hang, except neither of us would actually want to hang. We\u2019d nod at one another, then sit at separate ends of the ship.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"sc-1eow4w5-1 fuSEnv align--bleed js_lazy-image js_marquee-assetfigure\" id=\"\" data-id=\"fd606d5d0f6ed4b790fa81502dbbcafa\" data-recommend-id=\"image:\/\/fd606d5d0f6ed4b790fa81502dbbcafa\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-width=\"1920\" data-height=\"1084\" data-lightbox=\"true\" data-alt=\"A wall of newspaper clippings and a photograph of the Five Aces.\" data-recommended=\"false\" data-hide=\"false\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"false\">\n<div class=\"sc-1eow4w5-2 fDJNBs has-data img-wrapper\" contenteditable=\"false\" style=\"max-width:1920px\" data-alt=\"A wall of newspaper clippings and a photograph of the Five Aces.\" data-link-reference=\"\" data-link-target=\"\" data-syndicationrights=\"true\" data-imagerights=\"fair-use\" data-hide=\"false\" data-hidecredit=\"false\"><span class=\"sc-1eow4w5-0 knmQPh js_lightbox-wrapper\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.5%\" class=\"sc-1eow4w5-3 hGpdBg\"><picture class=\"sc-epkw7d-0 diKDHf lazy-picture\"><source media=\"(max-width: 37.31em)\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.kinja-img.com\/image\/upload\/c_fit,q_60,w_645\/fd606d5d0f6ed4b790fa81502dbbcafa.jpg\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 37.37em)\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.kinja-img.com\/image\/upload\/c_fit,q_60,w_1315\/fd606d5d0f6ed4b790fa81502dbbcafa.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A wall of newspaper clippings and a photograph of the Five Aces.\" data-chomp-id=\"fd606d5d0f6ed4b790fa81502dbbcafa\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-height=\"1084\" data-alt=\"A wall of newspaper clippings and a photograph of the Five Aces.\" data-anim-src=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.kinja-img.com\/image\/upload\/c_fit,q_60,w_645\/fd606d5d0f6ed4b790fa81502dbbcafa.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><figcaption class=\"sc-7s1ndr-0 fPOdhF no-caption\">Screenshot<!-- -->: <!-- -->Naughty Dog \/ Kotaku<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span data-id=\"fd606d5d0f6ed4b790fa81502dbbcafa\" data-recommend-id=\"image:\/\/fd606d5d0f6ed4b790fa81502dbbcafa\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-width=\"1920\" data-height=\"1084\" data-lightbox=\"true\" data-alt=\"A wall of newspaper clippings and a photograph of the Five Aces.\" data-recommended=\"false\" data-hide=\"false\" class=\"js_recommend\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">And while the hitting a robot with a sword element of the trailer didn\u2019t exactly make me leap out of my chair in delight, I\u2019m finding myself in the weird position of being delighted that this is a Naughty Dog game, despite my, er, not exactly enthusiastic history with the studio\u2019s output.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">In fact, when it comes to Naughty Dog\u2019s games, I\u2019m quite the downer. I absolutely cannot stand <em>Crash Bandicoot<\/em>\u2014it seems like the anathema of gaming to me, a game in which you can\u2019t see where you\u2019re going and have to fail to progress: bleurgh. It\u2019s <em>Rick Dangerous 3D<\/em>. Then, due to my being pretty much PC-only during the PS2\/3 era, I totally missed out on the first releases in the <em>Uncharted<\/em> series. When <em>The Last of Us<\/em> came out I was intrigued, but then I instantly absolutely detested it. I hated it! Like, in a way I would normally characterize as somewhat problematic in a person!<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">I hated the way it so callously killed a child purely as a means to give motivation to some dullard bloke (<span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/kotaku.com\/the-last-of-us-hbo-tv-show-ps5-game-remake-episode-1849995987&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/the-last-of-us-hbo-tv-show-ps5-game-remake-episode-1849995987\">I wrote about this in more detail a while back<\/a><\/span>), and I hated that it was a cover shooter at a time when <em>everything <\/em>was a cover shooter.

It\u2019s pure emotion, a visceral reaction that is quite unlike me, and given so many people whose opinions and intelligence I love and respect enjoy the game so much, I feel sure I am missing out. (I\u2019ll still argue that it was a grotesque, awful \u201cfridging\u201d though, and probably fold my arms.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">But I did eventually catch up on <em>Uncharted<\/em>, and big news: those games are great! I really enjoyed them! I had issues, and bloody hell, crates. But yeah, really lovely games, with\u2014and here\u2019s the key\u2014fantastic, personable storytelling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">And it\u2019s this that makes me think, \u201cActually, maybe I\u2019ll bother to grind through yet more hitting robots with swords, if it means I get to experience acting as good as I saw in this trailer and a story deserving of that character, I\u2019m in. (Shout-out to whoever is playing the agent as well\u2014I loved her delivery so much too!) I\u2019m ready to go. I have such good vibes! I want to be the cool space criminal bounty hunter who thrives on her own!<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">Of course, it could end up being be stinky-poops (a critical term you likely aren\u2019t familiar with). I don\u2019t know! No one does. Forming conclusions on this game after a single trailer would be perhaps <em>deeply<\/em> stupid. But if I\u2019m going to allow myself a moment of vibes-based enthusiasm, of all the games in that teetering pile of commercials, this is the game that got me. I\u2019m excited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/intergalactic-the-heretic-prophet-naughty-dog-trailer-1851720900\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I perused the many trailers that appeared at last night\u2019s Game Awards, I had a fair few moments of, \u201cOoh, yes!\u201d and \u201cOh wow, that looks fun!\u201d but it &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=137004\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8630],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=137004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137004\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=137004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=137004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=137004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
