This is kinda blowing up all over twitter with Neil haters coming out in full force retweeting the crap out of the Variety tweet showing Neil just standing there with no pictures being taken. Seems like no one had any clue who he was and decided to ignore him. lol





Absolutely brutal. I am getting second hand embarrassment from watching this. Lets hope he learns from this and goes back to directing games.

 

[DenchDeckard]

How has it had 17 million views? Has it gone viral or something?

Poor lad, he's been cucked.

 

[kiphalfton]

They're peobably like "who is that random dude standing there, get security".

 

[tmlDan]

Jesus, get over it, he created a story that has already won 8 Emmy's and potentially more.

People are obsessed with hating the dude its gross

 

[Gaiff]

Lets hope he learns from this and goes back to directing games.

Please, no. Let's hope he enjoys his newfound role as a movie director and stays the fuck away from games.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

"they don't know i directed tlou" meme

 

[Bernoulli]

Fuck drunkman

 

[Punished Miku]

I don't take this very seriously, but it was funny.

I have no clue what is normal for these things.

 

[Bartski]

yeah how embarrassing, getting invited to the red carpet at golden globes

 

[SlimySnake]

Twitter manipulates the view counts, but yes it went viral. just look at the likes on the original Variety 3k tweet and then the likes on the retweets 56k and 44k. Other tweets I didnt link keep popping up going viral in gaming circles.

Seems people really dislike Neil and what he did or did not do to Amy and Bruce Straley. lol

 

[Draugoth]

There's a reason why people like Itsuno, Kojima are beloved and he isnt.

 

[Portugeezer]

He works at Naughty Dog.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Honest to God, dude had more presence as a long hair.

 

[solidus12]

I remember when people actually liked him. Even though Bruce Straley was the more likable guy.

 

[Clear]

This is just petty. Sorry, but I see absolutely zero difference between the people going after Druckmann and the blue-hair cancel brigade.

Two sides of the same coin.

 

[rofif]

lol what kind of petty hit piece is this? wtf

 

[Xtib81]

I have no idea why people are hating on this guy. I mean it's twitter, what did I expect? ..

 

[EviLore]

It’s well-lit and the year of our lord 2024, why would there be camera flashes?

Quite the stretch to assume no one cares. TLOU is a big deal.

 

[SlimySnake]

I have no clue what is normal for these things.

You see a lot more flashes and cameramen asking these people to turn so they can take better pictures.



Neil got one camera flash at the start and then no one bothered lmao

and what is it

 

[Topher]

yeah how embarrassing, getting invited to the red carpet at golden globes

Yeah......so many video game devs are invited and overtaken by the Hollywood mob, right?

 

[Sushi_Combo]

The internet trolls really have nothing better to do.

 

[Draugoth]

and what is it

[RickSanchez]

just standing there with no pictures being taken

Are you sure of that ? It looks like he is looking somewhere specific, stops and poses, for a good long while. Why would he be stupid enough just to keep standing there for so long if no one was clicking ? Maybe pictures are being taken by a few fans on their phones. No flashes doesnt mean no pictures are being taken.

Even without the context of it being a game adaptation, The Last of Us is one of the better shows of 2023.

 

[rsouzadk]

Yeah... that was emabarassing.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Represent.]

literally Kojima does all of those things.
You dont think people crunch at KOJIPro?
Kojima wants to be in Hollywood more than Neil, you kidding?
He literally hires hollywood actors to fufill his fantasies

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Like most of you wouldn't go with that flow if you created a game everyone keeps telling you is revolutionary and then offers you an HBO show and all that.

I don't even like this guy but stop being silly.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

 

[tmlDan]

There's a reason why people like Itsuno, Kojima are beloved and he isnt.

Which is funny cause Kojima is growing more and more pretentious everyday, he has always been more pretentious than Druckmann. Kojima is literally obsessed with celebs.

 

[Spitfire098]

Jesus, get over it, he created a story that has already won 8 Emmy's and potentially more.

It's actually kinda of funny when you realize this community is made up of middle age guys.

 

[Bond007]

That sucks and i cant speak for a man i dont know or ever met. I also cant speak for how he runs his developments.
But hes accomplished plenty and is at the Globes getting awards and overall being successfull.

It in my eyes is unprofessional of photogs to not know who is approaching for photos regardless. Everyone there is being recognized in some form or other.

On top of that- these days everything is taken out of context. So who knows that the F is happening

He is doing the mocap for photo mode.

 

[SlimySnake]

To be fair, Cory Barlog also defended crunch at the time. Crunch is just part of this industry and most entertainment industries. You will never hear hollywood cast and crew bitch about 20 hour shoots or sports athletes complaining about working out and practicing all day long. It's part of the job.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

I find this more cringe than resetera content

 

[Xtib81]

Every damn AAA studio crunches. You'd have to provide some receipts for points 2 and 3.

 

[VulcanRaven]

This is silly. Of course he isn't that well known outside gaming circles. How is this embarrassing for him? Some have weird hate towards him. Google Neil Druckmann Golden Globes. Getty Images has 12 photos at least.

 

[Senua]

It's actually kinda of funny when you realize this community is made up of middle age guys.

We're constantly quashing the notion that gamers are man-children eh

 

[Killer8]

This is such a non-story. You don't get nearly as many camera clicks as you once did because almost everything is digital now and even captured on camera phones. People are still imagining that we're in the 90s. Why would you need flash either when the area is already lit because it's primed as the photo-op area?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Man, I hope my ignore button has a good warranty.

Good to see Hollywood is still super childish (and jealous) towards gaming.

Gonna change their tune when game adaptations start becoming the new trend after Mario and TLoU

PICS: The Arrivals From The 2024 Golden Globes Red Carpet

It's Golden Globes night and as we gear up for a night of glitz and glamour, it's time to check out the arrivals on the red carpet.

[Majukun]

should i know who this guy is?

*checks google*

ah, i get it.

 

[GHG]

That environment doesn't require a flash.

Have any of you ever used a DSLR/mirrorless camera before?

This thread and some of these tweets are what's embarrassing.

 

[Doom85]

You see a lot more flashes and cameramen asking these people to turn so they can take better pictures.



Neil got one camera flash at the start and then no one bothered lmao

If not being as famous as TAYLOR SWIFT counts as “no one knowing who you are”, well holy shit, almost every major actor ever must be total nobodies.

Also, it’s the fucking Golden Globes. Like they know who video game people are. At most, Miyamoto MIGHT get lucky if he made an appearance, but probably no one outside of that. This isn’t TGA.

 

[phaedrus]

Dude just realized he's not in the small pond anymore.

 

[Bartski]

what an absolute failure getting so much less attention from paparazzi than Taylor swift, look here is proof just count the flashes bro
