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

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.
