Sounds like people are jumping the gun again.
Read from geek and gamers:
The Game Awards were held this past Friday, and while some big trailers debuted throughout the broadcast – The Witcher 4, Tekken 8, Elden Ring: Nightreign, that game where you move to a new apartment – the one getting the most traction online is Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Unfortunately for developer Naughty Dog and publisher Sony, it’s not the kind of traction they wanted from the game featured in the final trailer of the ceremony.
Most don’t seem to be digging Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and from what Yellowflash said, Sony may be taking notice. He cites a 4chan post claiming that the people at the very top of the Sony hierarchy are not happy with their video game division, and while he says to remain skeptical, as this is just a 4Chan post, I think there’s reason to suspect he’s right. That Park Place reports that Naughty Dog has disabled comments on their host of the trailer; Sony, on the other hand, did not turn off comments on the version hosted on the PlayStation account, perhaps because they want to see the reactions the trailer is eliciting. And this is coming on the heels of the complete disaster that was Concord, the first-person shooter Sony was cultivating to be a mega-franchise. That game bombed so hard that Sony canceled it, refunded all purchases, and closed Firewalk Studios, the in-house label that developed the game; later, stories came out about an out-of-control budget and an atmosphere of “toxic positivity” at Firewalk. This makes me inclined to believe Sony is eager to hear the online feedback, which can’t be making them happy. They’re also reeling from their big mistake in trying to force PlayStation Network accounts on PC gamers for Helldivers 2, and the backlash against their (probable) attempts to censor some of the skimpier outfits in Stellar Blade. Aside from Sony, there’s a report – again unsubstantiated – that BioWare, hot on the heels of the Dragon Age: The Veilguard disaster, is determined to eliminate anything that could be construed as woke from Mass Effect 5.
These reports coming out at the same time make me wonder if the video game industry, and the entertainment industry at large, are finally ready to turn things around. If so, there’s not much Sony can do about Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet at this point – it’s been in development since 2020 – but maybe it’ll be the last of the identity-politics-infused games that are driving gamers nuts right now, at least from Sony and BioWare; but if that’s the case, we could see the dominoes start to fall soon after that.

Why are people hating on it so much?
Mostly because the female MC's design is bad.
