It appears that Kimberly Kreines is indeed a talented writer; however, the issue was that she was dedicating significant resources to crafting an expansive story for an untested shooter, not an RPG.

What a piece of crap.

So not even Barry in this trash sequel, but they made a female ape basically a lead. Wow. No wonder it failed.

This doesn’t work 😢

I played rdr2

so.. COncording Time??

Lots of bootlicking here tbh.

Thank you for your comments! Might have a follow up video on this, stay tuned ;)

Oh good, we've found a woman to blame for the failure! Thank God, I was sad that it might have been a collaborative issue.

Wait... so you are putting Smash JT on blast, for doing precisely what you yourself are doing here right now? And you are doing this, based purely on the word of an anon source who has every reason to lie to you about this whole situation? Smash JT's videos on Concord ALSO came from an anon whisteblower from within Firewalk studios. So why should i belive your source over his? Especially now that they have every reason to try and wash their hands of this disaster, and pass the buck? Make it make sense.

This hase to be one of the worst videos I have ever ever seen.

Lets assume "The Professor" wasn't at fault or at least not at most fault, then *who* decided it would be great to make the most Ugly Character's ever for a Hero Shooter and *who* decided it would be smart to ignore all the valid Critc/Feedback Players gave as either "white noise" aka. Stupid Haters or let a Dev rent free on Twitter insult everyone that critics the Game as "Talentless Freaks"? Reminder the Person he said that to was nice, didnt insult him, just said "It came at the wrong time and Genre, im sorry for you." Concord was a Fusion of every wrong decision combined. And therefore deserved it's failure.

Lmao sounds like concord levels of copium and shitsmearing (blaming it on the directors F'ing each other is beyond pathetic). This game's failure is on the art team and they know it. Almost as petty and weaselly as making 1/3 of this video about Smash JT, come to think of it.

It's revenge time let's get Concordian ....I feel so represented. If only they had more people from Wizards of the Coast. We all know how loved Hasbro is is nowadays. This is all making more sense (Especially the art by committee). Good art starts with a great vision. Not trying to jump on a bandwagon. And with this type of game, it's all about enticement. People should want to play your characters and get lured into the world. Sony made it obvious they wanted a part of this market.

Sounds like someone was busy creating the IP instead of making a game.

Can u pls do a tutorial on how to get on robinhood free roam I am begging 🙏

I dont think Smash is the one being sued for harrasment. Youre the one calling someone out for not having their facts straight but ironically somehow still didnt manage to get your facts straight. Top kek. Lets all lick the boots of the ground level developers instead.

I'm sorry but how is Sony the villain in all this? I would call it the sucker, for having poured coffers full of money into the project. Sony gave too much freedom to its western management (i.e. PlayStation), it's time for Japan to rein it in. Also, I don't like how the elefant in the room (the awful character design) was barely mentioned, especially after you've shown a tweet that heavily implies that it was mandated by corporate management. That's part of corporate meddling.

Well there character design is why they failed, nobody wants to play ugly characters

It does require a "gamers background" for a developer to be able to get whats important for the gameplay dynamics and diversity. How could somebody be able to measure whats the impact of a grenade is if their whole "experience" is drawing lines on a tablet or worse, writing numbers in an excel spreadsheet.

Why your saying smash is wrong he just going off what his sources said so why are you attacking him like they asked you to do it

The most important elements here SHOULD BE - any developer of A GAME should be PLAYING games!!!! There is no "rule Nr.1 dont test the product" here. Understanding games and gaming should be Nr.1 CV requirements.

If you ever pay attention to game credits after beating any large budget game, there are hundreds of names. Most of those names are related to the art, animation, music and voice acting. The ACTUAL programmers responsible for how the game plays and functions, a team of 20, maybe 40 if they work on different aspects.

Well SHIT!! World builder that plays as "GOD". Who could imagine that, lol. Making map assets and map layouts is indeed important, but if the coding department doesnt back that up, you are just a "digital painter". The terms "empty world" and "dead world" do have their origin, guess what it is?! Doing your part is indeed important, but if that part ends up dead in the water, who will care if you invested 1000 hours or more into the making?!

"Concord devs speak out"! Well ok, but more important, why should I listen?! That game was disaster, that was enforced by somebody. Then nobody opposed them, continued "earning their paychecks" and then the flop entered the room. Now I should stop myself, turn around and listen to the same group of developers, for why the development was hellhole, why the game had the things that it had and why I should care about someone elses problems created at their own workplace?! If a developer has problems with their workplace, call HR, call the boss, call the police, quit that damn job. Why the consumer should care how you do your work if you do it willingly?! Should the consumer get paid for every time they have to endure "corpo - bad" talks?!

How's that "talentless freaks" comment working out for you, Concord dev? LMAO Looks like the "I am the Main Character" syndrome struck that dev hard, and tbf that's probably fine, especially when someone puts in the work. But to then attack players for giving constructive criticism about your output? Zero sympathy for your blind arrogance and the predictable result stemming from it. The only surprise is the alacrity-12 days!-it took for HQ to shut it down. In the immortal words of Joker, "you get what you deserve!" You worked hard for nothing. Well, there's something: a $400M loss.

From what i read on the wiki the world-building is not bad it just the rest of the game was a generic hero shooter with hideous character design

Those sunglasses were cringe. Otherwise good job!

This looks like it's worth a 1 dollar on steam .

nah, it failed because the characters were uggo af. no cap. thats why i didnt play it.

There was no talent on concord 😂

Wait so i may have missed it who was responsible for how horrible the characters looked.

Smash has. Lawsuit from Alyssa Mercante i know for a fact. To be fair though Alyssa did start it by trying to get JTs wife involved

Dude sounds geh.

I remember watching that first trailer and being so annoyed by the characters and their dialogue. Typical forced-quirkiness and obnoxious facial movements on everyone.

8 years of hard work in the gutter lol.

all i have to say is, sucks to suck. concord looked like something id see everyone at the nursing home playing cuz someones grandchild donated it. ggs lmao

Thank god a relatively unbiased video on this instead of “concord bad, devs bad”, so sick of these grifters who have to call everything they don’t like woke and just jump on every bandwagon

if you have "anonymous sources" it doesn't change jack shit. Because you both can provide "anonymous" sources that none of us can check, what we can check and some actually did was the result of the work being done. Work so bad that the project was killed in less than 2 WEEKS. And yeah, the "woke" stuff was not the "only" thing that killed it but it at least affected the character design (which was just dogshit) a lot and this is not something you can deny because while the game is dead, we can still look up videos of characters. I love when the game studios are putting stuff like the "pronounse" nonsense and act like they are literally the emperor saying that "you will bend the knee!" and then when it turns out that people didn't actually bend the knee they start crying. Fuck this game, fuck that studio and everything around it. I am really astunned that we came from games like Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Star Craft 2 to this piece of shit. And I am really, really tired of all those excuses. Either make games that people actually want to play or don't make them at all.

Didn't SJT jump on the amico bandwagon as a shill?

18 minutes defending a dead game 😂

This was a good video that stuck to the facts and didn't try and say," Concord didn't get a fair chance." You are doing a lot of what Matt Mcmuscles does and I respect that. I also say ignore the haters but good on you for owning up to your mistake on getting some Smash information wrong. It's odd how some people act about that.

It's hard to pinpoint what were the major issues and causes for Concord's failure and while I have heard a bunch of reasons, excuses or not, the big one of "management" is always one that I can't wrap my entire head around. Like yes, I understand that Sony and upper management was likely a big factor but there were definitely key issues, way beyond the narrative, that were key factors in the demise of the game. Even the gameplay, although decent, had many problems, especially with pacing and movement. The only thing I would say that was good about the gameplay was the gunplay, everything else was bad or mediocre. Character design was obviously a huge factor that never really got addressed. Comparing to a similar game, at least in terms of scope and situation, is Veilguard. Veilguard was obviously able to capitalize on the DA IP but the combat, though shallow, felt way more fluid than Concord and the character designs, though not great, were way more serviceable than Concord's best design. I think the character interactions and personalities were much worse in Veilguard, but the story was definitely better. Obviously we're comparing apples to oranges here but I think there are some universal game concepts that need to be nailed that Veilguard did (although the other issues with the games prevented it from being a breakout success), mainly the gameplay and overall aesthetic.

Don't worry guys. Em8er will never be the largest crowdfunding scam: Star Citizen beat it by a decade.

Great Reporting. I'm glad to hear the truth about this game.

Finally a more realistic reason why the game might have failed There’s big problems in the gaming industry and it’s not woke stuff Great video

Imagine being apart of this team, i would scrub it from my resume!

Bruhhhh seeing all this triple A dev stuff and marketing for a game that only lived for a week is just insane3e

It's funny how these sources are never named. You'd think there would be at least one dev with the balls to come out with this info publicly.
