The word cringe is...cringier? than all the GIFs combined.

 

[kyliethicc]

They've always being embarrassing cringe.

You'd expect they looked better than they do when they are from the developers.

Or are they fan made?

Many of them have bad animations unlike the games.

The one that always gets me is Ellie eating popcorn. Her teeth goes side ways like a mutant when she eats them.

are you blind? thats the popcorn she's eating not her teeth lol

 

[Aenima]

Yisus at those gifs....

If someone reply me with one of those fucking cringy tik-tokass bullshit it will be blocked.

Then start blocking...

 

[Fully engaged]

I thought they were awful before.. but knowing they are made by Sony.. kinda makes me respect the hustle.

They are still awful. Why post a knock off gif when you can post the real thing. It makes the poster look pathetic to be honest.

 

[baphomet]

God, who fucking cares?

 

[cash_longfellow]

I don't care, I'm not active on social media so I don't see them.

Yet, here you are, active on social media

PlayStation culture is pretty chill and fun, I can see why outsiders get annoyed

Imagine how much cooler it will be once we get mittens for our controllers?

 

[Chromium.Wings]

Maybe it's less of a Sony is forcing them to do this thing and more of a game developers are nerds who enjoy this sort of shit thing.

Why care?

Serious question; are Sony making gifs?

Yes, they are extremely cringey but I always figured they were fan-made?

No. But the animators from some Sony studios and even some 3rd parties are. And knowing some ppl get triggered by a fun thing, just gonna make me use them even more. Time to bookmark my favs for future use.

 

[kiphalfton]

Almost sounds like some people are putting some random video game developer on a pedestal because they made some niche gif...

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Don't be a goon, OP.

They're hilarious. Just a bit of harmless fun.

If you're so uptight that you had to run and make a whole thread about this, I've gotta ask WTF is wrong with you and why don't you have better things to do with your time?... Like, go have a wank or something.

 

[Reallink]

So where will Sony's famously progressive developers post these now that Twitter is "Alt Right" and Elon Musk is Trump 2.0?

Ok! You learn something every day. People should learn to ignore stuff they don't like though.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I've enjoyed them but 2023 they need to go away for like 2 to 3 years imo.

That means 2-3 years without any big games from Sonys best developers.

Surely you don't want that right?

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Look at what you’ done, OP.

I had no idea there were these many sony ip gifs. I don't even know what half of them are referencing.

The best ones are the ones where I have zero idea what the reference is. Which is like a good half of them.

Pretty much every single one references some gif that was extremely popular in GAF’s heyday. Back when this place was the absolute reference for any dev worth its salt.

Shut your dirty mouth!

HOLY SHIT LOL!!

[SlimySnake]

One of the things I really remember about the process after the movie came out was Heath never wanting to make a joke," Gyllenhaal shared, referring to the impact Brokeback Mountain had for the LGBTQIA+ community. "Even as I think culturally, there were many jokes being made about the movie or poking fun at and things like that. And his consummate devotion to how serious and important the relationship between these two characters was."

Meanwhile over at Sony WWS

 

[amscanner]

I really don't like it. It's not cool and I don't understand who though it would be cool seriously? just awful.

 

[Spaceman292]

These meme gifs that Sony obviously tells their studios to do arent cool. It's comes off as 40 something executives having their developers make gifs to appeal to "the youth" and completely misses the mark. At most you'll get mid late 30smth facebook dads sharing it but yea, they aren't cool.

Why do you hate fun

[Alx]

I didn't realize there were so many of them. Taken individually they can be very funny (and technically impressive, at least for people like me who don't know much about animation), but like all jokes the more you hear/see them and the less they're funny. It's all about timing.

I don't like your threads OP, I think they are not cool, im making one for gaf stop going to yours.

 

[mansoor1980]

congrats everyone on the successful backfire

 

[Mung]

Let them have fun

 

[Robb]

Yeah they’re pretty awful. But if the devs think it’s fun to make them, let them. It’s not like it hurts anyone.

 

[The_Mike]

are you blind? thats the popcorn she's eating not her teeth lol

The popcorn move horizontal in her mouth. It looks unnatural and stupid.

 

[Skifi28]

Your life must be pretty good if a few silly gifs are such a big deal to you.

 

[GeekyDad]

Guess I'm a "youth" at heart, then. I love 'em. That's the kinda shit I like to see Sony do. They ain't afraid to flaunt their gold chains.

 

[bitbydeath]

I wonder if they took that phrase from our OT.

They're ridiculous, trying to make their bland characters funny...

Ah come on guyssss. These gifs are hilarious.

This thread was fucking hilarious. Thanks for being butthurt about gifs and creating this thread OP!

 

[Pedro Motta]

There is a pattern in the people that say these GIFs are cringe. Wonder what it is, anyone noticed it?

Yes, and these gifs just make it all the more sad to watch.

People will complain about how stupid Elon Musk is and turn around posting gifs made by blue-haired Sony-employed house moms.

 

[F0rneus]

Wow I had missed all those GIFs. I only knew about the Banderas one. Thanks for sharing, they are awesome!

Hmmm. . .In a forum whose discussions are filtered through the lens of "video game players", why would a person choose to post a gif of a video-game inspired media-meme, and not the actual media-meme. . .in a video game forum. . .where video gamers are discussing video game things.

. . .hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
