At least Naughty Dog are doing something new, but this didn't grab me. Looked like the most generic sci-fi setting ever.

It looks interesting, though it does feel a little slimy just how obvious they were about making sure all the sponsor logos were visible on screen. Like, it gave me Wayne's World flashbacks with how long they were holding on the logos, it almost felt like a parody.

Big, chunky logos are part of this specific vibe, though I can understand why it's a turn-off (with a couple of the fictional ones being out of focus).

I wouldn't mind if they were all fictional, but the massive Porsche logo? Come on, I'm not paying for a game just to see product placements. It's like Death Stranding with the energy drinks again.

I read it in this particular cinematic as a choice that this is OUR world, dominated by brands and massive companies. And it's still the same ones even in this future.

Kinda like how it's a different feeling when you see a Coke ad and an Atari ad in Blade Runner rather than seeing a generic in-universe copyright free brand.

That and this feels like something that could easily change in the main game

Especially considering last I checked, Porsche isn't pushing a line of space ships.
