- Tati Gabrielle, the lead Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet star, recently discussed potential hate from online gamers.
- She states that Neil Druckmann is already helping her deal with online hate following Naughty Dog’s experience with The Last of Us Part 2.
- Neil Druckmann remains confident in the team’s work and has advised the star to focus on doing her best for the time being.
Naughty Dog revealed its latest IP a few months back, and the studio saw a few interesting reactions. In many ways, the reactions reminded the team of The Last of Us Part 2 and the backlash received due to various decisions related to that title.
Speaking about the reactions to Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, lead actress Tati Gabrielle has revealed that Naughty Dog is already prepared for further backlash. The team has also given its actors tips to deal with online backlash in the coming years.
Why it matters: The Last of Us Part 2 continues to face similar backlash to this day, with season 2 of the show being the latest example of criticism taken a bit too far online.
Speaking to EW, Tati Gabrielle, the actress playing the main character in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, discussed the experience of Naughty Dog stars like Laura Bailey, the actress who played Abby in The Last of Us Part 2.
Bailey previously received death threats, and Tati Gabrielle has seen similar reactions since the announcement of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. During the interview, she revealed that Neil Druckmann himself is coaching her on how to deal with these reactions.
Neil’s been bootcamping me. I know Troy’s experience, I know Ashley’s experience.
As per the actress, Neil Druckmann advised her to mostly ignore the criticism online and focus on doing her best as part of the Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet team.
Neil Druckmann appears quite confident in his work, so it will be interesting to see how conversations around the studio’s latest IP evolve over time. Perhaps the team will shock harsh critics with its typical gameplay quality and polish a few years from now.
What are your thoughts on Tati Gabrielle’s statement? Do you think fans can be a bit too harsh to actors and game developers at times? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
