Politics. People hate that Druckmann had a trans character in the game and that he's pushing some kind of liberal agenda.
TLOU is arguably THE best game of the PS360 era and at the time was the most critically acclaimed game of all time before Witcher 3 won more awards a few years later. With the TLOU2 combat mechanics and graphics, this will be one of the best playing third person shooters out there and THE best looking game of last gen. People nowadays view everything with a lens of politics.
They must think we are stupid. TBH, i expected this from suits like Jimbo and Herman Hurst, but not Neil. He specifically said this was rebuilt from the ground up on the PS5 multiple times during the stream, and we all know thats not true. We have eyes and a brain, and frankly it's insulting that he thinks we will fall for this. But he IS the co-president of Naughty Dog now so I guess he's one of the suits now.
RTGI will be cool since GI bounce from light sources was one of the things they downgraded from the E3 demo of TLOU2. like Shmunter mentioned, I would also like to see these animations and character models back, but im not holding my breath. After all, we didnt get a PS5 only version of TLOU2 with these animations and character models.
