This game is in its infancy the natural growth of this game will be very interesting to see. Housemarquee and Arrowhead Studios also are roughly only 100 people this is generational talent, a good culture, thats why its so easy for Playstation to invest in these studios.

@@aarongrays4471I played the beta and let me tell you, noone needs to play it. Outside the hideous/bland character designs, the movement is sluggish, the damage across the board is weak, the dialogue is hard to listen to, its just a mess. Theres a reasons its steam numbers were so low.
For a Japanese company, you'd think Sony, in their attempt to find live-service success, might get some ideas when they see Chinese and Korean companies printing *billions* selling *anime characters.*
Because if a live-service does well, it’s Fortnite or GTA Online. If a single-player game does well, it’s probably not even gonna do as well as Elden Ring. Those are quite rare. And even if it is… that probably made, what, 1/5 what Fornite did in the same year, if that?
I think one of the biggest problems in the gaming space is that people keep trying to copy games that have already come, collected an audience, and left. Just because people are addicted to overwatch, doesn't mean that you can get those same people addicted to your game too that is meant to compete with games like overwatch
The stakeholders dont like taking risk. original game doesn't looks appealing for them thats why triple A game rarely success because they only keep repeating what works making it stale and nobody buy it
I uninstalled Overwatch after they went free to play and devalued all of the skins and credits I had earned, just so they could push micro transactions and battle passes. Even before that moment, I was growing weary of the ham-handed and unnecessary shoehorning of the "message" into every character's make-up. These companies are more concerned with making digital virtue signals rather than interesting and compelling characters.
I pray to whatever God that may be real to give Sony the forsight to give Miyazaki unlimited budget for a bloodborne title. It's all I want. In defiance I will do another logarios wheel run after work.
I hate how Sony will most likely take this as _"people dont want unique characters/games anymore"._ No, people are tired of *EVERY* console game putting 80% of the budget into the ✨AAA ultra realistic artstyle✨ This game would've been sooooo much more visually appealing if it had a toony, exaggerated style to match the designs. I wont even touch the gameplay bc fps isn't my cup but so many quality tests were skipped with this one. Sony maybe stop listening to shareholders that are old enough to remember Queen Elizabeth's birth😭😭 and listen to the people that buy your games
Nah. That lady from the cinematic looked good, and the fish-bird-lizard guy looked interesting. But nobody REALLY cares how good a character looks, at most it's a crutch. The characters need to BE good, and these characters all speak like the worst possible imitation of the worst possible cliches of Marvel writing.
@@silco5343 That too, we've basically been at market saturation on these for a long while, and by definition the saturation threshold for "live service game that is almost a job" is very low. Whoever approved this game in its current state as a product needs to be fired.

These companies are run by the most out of touch people. Bungie convinced them to cancel factions and then they missed all their goals and Marathon had also been turned into a Hero shooter...how many of these do we need
Is factions the multiplayer tlou? I thought naughty dog realized they'd have to waste their talents supporting a live service instead of working on a new game afterwards
They've waisted so much money on this IP it could have been decent if it wasn't a hero shooter or at least picked up where overwatch failed and made a campaign
I cringed so much at that. To be completely honest the lineup of games for that show is…not great. It’s fine for the first season but hopefully if there are more seasons they get more relevent ips or at least more popular legacy ones
I work at GameStop and yesterday corporate sent an email with a code to get the game for free. It was for the SM to get it first but if they didn't want it, it would go to AM, and if they didn't want it the employees could have it. Well, nobody wanted it lol One manager decided to use the code but everyone else said no thanks. Idk anyone who is excited for this Overwatch ripoff. Nobody has come in and asked about it, nothing.
So trendy to hate on shit so hard these days. This game isn't insulting anyone personally, it's a video game that is an expression of creativity and shouldn't be treated like something criminal.

Concord is a town northwest of Boston, Massachusetts. It’s known for the American Revolutionary War sites in Minute Man National Historical Park. A key battle took place at the North Bridge and is commemorated by Daniel Chester French’s Minute Man statue. In the 1800s, Transcendentalist poet Ralph Waldo Emerson drafted his essay “Nature” at the Old Manse. He and writer Henry David Thoreau also frequented Walden Pond
@@quinsey9211 I imagine hes including the cost to purchase the studio outright. Which is estimated to be around 200 Million. Welling to bet some up staff at Firewalk Studio will be leaving with fat wallets within the next couple of months.

From the handful of images I have seen of the game, it also seems to lack a great amount of visual feedback. The camera is always on a rail breaking any sense of speed or momentum, the health bars are less interactive than my mercury thermometer, and the abilities don't really seem impactful on screen. Maybe the gameplay is more fun than it looks, but I get the feeling that I'm watching a GPT-4 interpretation of Overwatch...
@@coreycleven8414I feel like this is going to make them double down in order to avoid losing money again, instead of just making games that people genuinely are invested in
The best review of the game on Steam had this gem: *"...[Concord] still doesn’t have a tag on booru websites..."* You KNOW a game is bad when Rule34 artists don't even bother making adult art for it.
Not #1 in this console generation, the PS5 has no games, and the switch is still popping off 8 years into its lifespan. Most agree Nintendo is currently winning the console wars.
Nintendo sucks. They haven't done anything in years. Their paid internet is shit, their console is shit. The only good thing they had was there games which they didn't do anything since new Zelda
At law breakers had an interesting enough concept of using zero gravity and flight as well as more emphasis on mechanical skill with an edgier look compared to other hero shooters. Concord is already looking like a game that should've been a borderlands/left4dead successor
2388 peak players during open beta. If some one told me this was for peak numbers for solitaire in Kazakhstan I would believe it. Sony has to be hurting.
@@colbyboucher6391 I’m mostly referring to the people who called it “Overwatch clone with anti gravity gimmicks” back in the day. Those people owe Lawbreakers an apology, because at least Lawbreakers tried really hard to form it’s own identity
I can't really in good conscience describe "Lawbreakers" as "not original." It was in development well into 2014 and 2015, it just released incredibly late relative to its initial teasers in 2015 as BlueStreak. It had a substantial degree of uniqueness to it as well - in 2015, "class-based FPS with Parkour and anti-gravity" was a lot more promising. Hell, do you have an actual mainstream game that uses anti-gravity as a principle mechanic?
Its because its not officially out till the 23rd. Right now its just the people who paid for early access, which is a few hundred people or less at least on steam.

So, i think you quite wrong here, and nobody wait concord, people just check trailer to leave a funny or joke comments about how bad what they see.
@@fdnfdnasd7714 views has nothing to do with it. Of course we all watched the gameplay trailer. Its a game? We wanted to see how the game looked? The problem is it looked bad. If theres a really good singer next to a burning building inbet most people are looking at the burning building. Doesnt mean the burning building is more fun than the singer. Like use your brain please lol. Gameplay trailers for games will always get more views. But the people who watched the cinematic trailers generally enjoyed them. With many saying it shoulda been pve and not a 5v5 pvp game. Which i heavily agree with.
12:15 This is the real issue. They made a hero shooter and I don't want to be any of the "heroes" if that's what you want to call those designs. I don't think anyone wants to be those heroes. Which is why no one is playing this game. A friend of mine once told me "when most people play games they want to play a character that they want to be, or a character they want to f#&%" and I think it's obvious that no one wants to do either to any of these "heroes".
Great point, Marvel Rivals is doing just fine, one of the main reasons is because the heroes are precisely ones that people have fantasized as being for a long time. Overwatch did a very good job as a new IP, with it's cinematics and very appealing character designs. Hero shooters aren't dead, Concord just doesn't have appealing heroes.
@@iminumst7827 OW may have issues, but people being able to play time space traveling girl, grim reaper dude, and cyborg ninja guy etc. are the main draws of OW. And btw the game mechanics are built around those character traits/designs. Or I can play Concord and be misgendered trashcan thing with gun.
Nah, that's taking it too far. The Acolyte was written be people who can't write, about an universe they don't care. It's a product both mismanaged AND of low quality. Concord is only the former. You can criticize the art style for being bland and the genre from being over-saturated, but the monetization is _far_ better than anything Blizzard has made in the last two decades and it's clearly made by people who understand how a shooter should play like.
"When they presented the characters people were stoked and pretty interested" Oh yeah the 30%-70% like to dislike ratio of that trailer perfectly encapsulate that
Half way thru this video I launched TF2 jumped into 2fort, went to dance on the bridge, both teams joined me, I said “join me in dancing in honour of concord” and then the rest of the lobby joined in and we had a funeral, we gave a 21 gun salute as soldiers, and played the trumpet lol
@yourturn5059 I don't mind hearing about something new. Won't be watching the starfield video he has scheduled for later. What's the point? A bad games a bad game regardless of dlc
What I can't get over is how, even if it were a 100 million budget, that it will be spent creating a thing that will get nothing but side-glances from anyone outside a pool of maybe 3000 people. If that. Even Madame Web probably got like a million people to watch it.
I don’t think you or anyone generally understood how corporations work. That like all seeing eye always watching thing is new. Most office jobs you can go hours without seeing your boss or another employee. Money famously disappears in companies especially with high payrolls. Execs don’t care until their money printers stop printing. They took a gamble on this random company they made promises and now they’re about to face layoff karate.
You really hit the nail on the head with the reaction to the trailer and then the developer segment. At the end of the trailer, I thought, "It seems a little cheesy, but looks like it could be really good." Then I heard, "5v5 shooter," and immediately stopped caring.
On the trailer: the time spent focusing on character and the environmental details sells itself as Mass Effect meets Guardians of the Galaxy/Firefly, where you play a crew of rebels out in the big bad galaxy. Instead it’s knockoff overwatch?? Make that make sense. They should have looked at the Team Fortress 2 trailers, or Overwatch trailers - where the trailer showcases each character is more of a class than a person.
@@kranichkrone the one where they wanted to push body posivity in games ( fat inclusion really, it's being generous to call it body posivity) but still made the videogame model not as fat as the actress.
@@Crippledsteel Wukong has the numbers it has because of the Chinese market. Bloodborne on PC would not appeal to the Chinese market. It would probably get the same sort of numbers God of War on PC got.
Everyone keeps saying all theese numbers are Chinese, granted some might be, but I thought everyone knew China is hella restrictive on there internet, don’t have freedom of speech yada yada don’t even have the same internet as we would in the west, they actually use a game client wegame, so the numbers could be even more massive not even counting consoles either for a game that I have no interest in it is still insane to see & think how massive it actually is
@chrischimera1999 it's a recap his last video, so some people want to know the new stuff. Also I'm guessing he's playing it on PC as the console experience is much better
For like 3 minutes, I thought "Huh, nice to see a sci-fi game really go all out on alien design. Good, Mass Effect deserves more single player clones, I might... and it's just Overwatch"
Yes, the cinematic trailer was clearly polished with interesting characters and a mysterious premise up until it was revealed to just be another Overwatch style shooter
@@Jabarri74 Even if it isn't fun though just by looking at the characters you want to check it out. While this game even if it is good you just don't want to bother by simply looking at the characters. Hard to make people enjoy something when they don't even want to try it.
I mean, they're pretty generic designs too, but they work because well... hahaha school uniform, little clothes. yey. Concord clearly has an awesome group of artists, but the direction of each of the designs clearly looks like it was done by someone who doesn't quite know what they're doing with them. Every character feels "MEH", Overwatch, TF2 and Apex for example, have characters that highlight their personality through design and colors, they are kept memorable and simple, even inviting you to look for more about their story. Concord is like looking to add a thousand things to a character and none of them stand out, the colors feel gray, the game itself feels and looks much slower than the previous games I used as an example.
@@cerosix0 "Concord clearly has an awesome group of artists, but the direction of each of the designs clearly looks like it was done by someone who doesn't quite know what they're doing with them." They had a clear idea which was diversity and inclusion dogma.
A rare occurrence of me not feeling bad for game failing. At all. When whole world tells you all the stauff you are doing wrong and you just ignore it all, you deserve what´s coming.
Yeah overhaul a game that’s 90% ready. You know that has implications right? Or should they just throw another 150 million at it? What should they fix in regards of the hero shooter genre? 6vs6? Replace characters with waifu’s to keep the incels quiet? What did they ignore? The pricetag? I don’t know man, this game got so eyeballed upon it was made DOA by influencers and media itself.
@@DMP1982have a better idea I guess. I mean yeah I get what you mean the cash is spent but fuck me dude there has been so many dead live service games in the last half decade that it’s true boneheaded descion making to try and do overwatch again but with uninspired designs. This game looks like the half assed animation they use in movies for someone playing a game and not wanting to pay a company for rights to a game.
@@DMP1982 This "waifu" is for incels is PEAK projection. Know how I know? My wife is a weeb (I don't care for anime personally, against her best efforts I might add) and she LOVES hot female anime characters. That mindset is definitely a "you" problem.

The cast isn’t compelling for sure. You need clear designs (think TF2) that are recognizable, differentiated, and exciting. But I think a lot of it is everything else on top of a bland cast. (Though I do like yellow robot)
The thing I've noticed about this game is that people don't HATE it, they just. Don't care. It's yet another pvp team-hero-shooter, and although it looks perfectly decent, that, I think, is the issue. There's not really anything about it that makes it stand out in comparison to what people already have, for less cost. People are pissed at Overwatch, sure, but Overwatch is free (and so is fortnight, on that thought), so why pay 40 dollars for this other thing that's probably gonna nickle-and-dime them just as much, y'know?
@@ThePassablePlayer Yeah if you have a game that is supposed to compete with such other games that are free and nothing looks cool at all then you dig your own crave.
@@r.e.z9428 I guess in hindsight, the lack of a story mode is a mercy in reality. But the reveal that this is another hero shooter definitely killed people's interest.
Hero shooters don't have story modes. They have lore that's delivered in cutscenes, side content, in-game banter, and maybe secondary PvE modes. If Concord did have a proper story mode that would actually be a big differentiating feature for them, something the game desperately needs.
I am fully convinced it is the character design. They made this during peak Marvel burnout during peak hero shooter burnout. If they had you customize a character and bring in different builds like The Finals while keeping that setting and some of the customization, as well as the Destiny 2-style PVP, it might've had a chance. They are trend chasing so hard that everyone can see it.
Spending a lot of money on Animatics. Too. If they wanted to make a Movie... Why did they not make a Movie? I hate "Story Based" PvP games. The last thing I play a PvP game is for the story
Rivals was beating this game out of the water and it was a closed beta. People aren't tired of hero shooters, concord just looked so bad and, based on people who did play it, absolutely played terribly too Edit: Rivals is also a marvel game, so it's not marvel burnout too, between rivals and deadpool 3
Absolutely. I think part of it is we have been in an extremely solid chunk of time(sake of argument say past 10-15 or so years especially) where design people have been so afraid and running full sprint trying their hardest to not fall into generic bland military hero guy grey soup of prior eras of gaming, so people are just throwing any sort of oblong abstract design and barf of various color palettes and styles despite a lot of clashing. We also have been entrenched in an overload of media(most especially in movies and tv) where the template for personalities and character writing is ungodly shallow and uninspired so everyone just sounds and acts the same as you've seen before. Even going beyond Whedon-ism, we're nearly 20 years with people trying to make every character Tony Stark. I legitimately thought Concord first time I saw it was something an AI came up with because the designs and ways the characters were just seemed so done to death and playing right into what we've seen before. Even for a major product game, they couldn't have come up with something more interesting? On the physical model design I feel like the creators felt like having them look so absurd and jumbled would stick out but it weirdly just makes them seem almost too alike or just not all that appealing.Humans are programmed to patterns and some form of consistency order, oblong shaped Futurama side character rejects with Deadpool wise cracking we've heard 100 times over is not gonna cut it. It doesn't even need to be this bad. Look to the book Darius Kazemi did on Jagged Alliance 2 that had the creators of that game talking about how the goal was making a big playable character roster that yes did fit in the umbrella of action movie tropes and cliches but making them stand out and feel very different and unique which they 100% succeeded on.
That you say that there is an exhaustion of Marvel is a LIE, when we are literally still talking about Marvel, Marvel Rivals is one of the most anticipated games and there is literally hype for Marvel.
Concord should've been Payday 2 in space cities, and the opposing team plays the cops or another group of robbers, both trying to get the objective. Could've been interesting.
If Overwatch never went free to play, maybe? this would’ve succeeded. But what shocks me the most is PlayStation funding 300M for this game. Holy crap that’s insane amount of money for a simple hero shooter lol

For a Japanese company, you'd think Sony, in their attempt to find live-service success, might get some ideas when they see Chinese and Korean companies printing *billions* selling *anime characters.*
Sony is a Californian company now. They actively resent their Japanese roots and are known for mistreating asian devs.
When you have California HQ with many types of certain people giving input, your vision gets really cloudy.
Screw whoever decided to move their hq
PlayStation should have never moved to California

Because if a live-service does well, it’s Fortnite or GTA Online. If a single-player game does well, it’s probably not even gonna do as well as Elden Ring. Those are quite rare. And even if it is… that probably made, what, 1/5 what Fornite did in the same year, if that?

I think one of the biggest problems in the gaming space is that people keep trying to copy games that have already come, collected an audience, and left. Just because people are addicted to overwatch, doesn't mean that you can get those same people addicted to your game too that is meant to compete with games like overwatch
The stakeholders dont like taking risk. original game doesn't looks appealing for them thats why triple A game rarely success because they only keep repeating what works making it stale and nobody buy it

I uninstalled Overwatch after they went free to play and devalued all of the skins and credits I had earned, just so they could push micro transactions and battle passes. Even before that moment, I was growing weary of the ham-handed and unnecessary shoehorning of the "message" into every character's make-up. These companies are more concerned with making digital virtue signals rather than interesting and compelling characters.

I find it so funny that Sony is trying so hard to make concord cool. Like even the Amazon video game show will have concord featured in it.

A key battle took place at the North Bridge and is commemorated by Daniel Chester French’s Minute Man statue.

For real, it looks like each character is a sponge, and your entire ammo cache is needed to just kill one other player.
From the handful of images I have seen of the game, it also seems to lack a great amount of visual feedback. The camera is always on a rail breaking any sense of speed or momentum, the health bars are less interactive than my mercury thermometer, and the abilities don't really seem impactful on screen. Maybe the gameplay is more fun than it looks, but I get the feeling that I'm watching a GPT-4 interpretation of Overwatch...

This video is now a piece of history.
They managed to make a game less successful and even Way less original than Lawbreakers.
That’s gotta be a record or something
At law breakers had an interesting enough concept of using zero gravity and flight as well as more emphasis on mechanical skill with an edgier look compared to other hero shooters.
Concord is already looking like a game that should've been a borderlands/left4dead successor
2388 peak players during open beta. If some one told me this was for peak numbers for solitaire in Kazakhstan I would believe it. Sony has to be hurting.
"and even Way less original than Lawbreakers"
Lawbreakers was pretty dang original though... It didn't deserve to die like that
@@colbyboucher6391 I’m mostly referring to the people who called it “Overwatch clone with anti gravity gimmicks” back in the day.
Those people owe Lawbreakers an apology, because at least Lawbreakers tried really hard to form it’s own identity
I can't really in good conscience describe "Lawbreakers" as "not original." It was in development well into 2014 and 2015, it just released incredibly late relative to its initial teasers in 2015 as BlueStreak. It had a substantial degree of uniqueness to it as well - in 2015, "class-based FPS with Parkour and anti-gravity" was a lot more promising. Hell, do you have an actual mainstream game that uses anti-gravity as a principle mechanic?
Game is so sad SteamDB don't even show Concord player count
no no , they show the player count.... its non existent
The player count will only appear the 23 . For the actual launch of the game
@@celinelatour5068 they used to show the player count while it was in beta, but nobody is playing the beta.

Like use your brain please lol. Gameplay trailers for games will always get more views. But the people who watched the cinematic trailers generally enjoyed them. With many saying it shoulda been pve and not a 5v5 pvp game. Which i heavily agree with.
12:15 This is the real issue. They made a hero shooter and I don't want to be any of the "heroes" if that's what you want to call those designs.
I don't think anyone wants to be those heroes. Which is why no one is playing this game. A friend of mine once told me "when most people play games they want to play a character that they want to be, or a character they want to f#&%" and I think it's obvious that no one wants to do either to any of these "heroes".
Great point, Marvel Rivals is doing just fine, one of the main reasons is because the heroes are precisely ones that people have fantasized as being for a long time. Overwatch did a very good job as a new IP, with it's cinematics and very appealing character designs. Hero shooters aren't dead, Concord just doesn't have appealing heroes.
@@iminumst7827 OW may have issues, but people being able to play time space traveling girl, grim reaper dude, and cyborg ninja guy etc. are the main draws of OW. And btw the game mechanics are built around those character traits/designs.

@@Crippledsteel Thing is, people actually watched ROS
First overwatch is at least the prequels. Overwatch 2 sure… compare that to the last Jedi all you want lol
Nah, that's taking it too far. The Acolyte was written be people who can't write, about an universe they don't care. It's a product both mismanaged AND of low quality. Concord is only the former. You can criticize the art style for being bland and the genre from being over-saturated, but the monetization is _far_ better than anything Blizzard has made in the last two decades and it's clearly made by people who understand how a shooter should play like.
"When they presented the characters people were stoked and pretty interested"
Oh yeah the 30%-70% like to dislike ratio of that trailer perfectly encapsulate that
Half way thru this video I launched TF2 jumped into 2fort, went to dance on the bridge, both teams joined me, I said “join me in dancing in honour of concord” and then the rest of the lobby joined in and we had a funeral, we gave a 21 gun salute as soldiers, and played the trumpet lol

You really hit the nail on the head with the reaction to the trailer and then the developer segment. At the end of the trailer, I thought, "It seems a little cheesy, but looks like it could be really good." Then I heard, "5v5 shooter," and immediately stopped caring.
Gigachad Black Myth: Wukong vs the Virgin Concord
On the trailer: the time spent focusing on character and the environmental details sells itself as Mass Effect meets Guardians of the Galaxy/Firefly, where you play a crew of rebels out in the big bad galaxy. Instead it’s knockoff overwatch?? Make that make sense.
They should have looked at the Team Fortress 2 trailers, or Overwatch trailers - where the trailer showcases each character is more of a class than a person.

Concord clearly has an awesome group of artists, but the direction of each of the designs clearly looks like it was done by someone who doesn't quite know what they're doing with them.
Every character feels "MEH", Overwatch, TF2 and Apex for example, have characters that highlight their personality through design and colors, they are kept memorable and simple, even inviting you to look for more about their story.

1:45 you are joking right? The cast of characters is literally the reason why people hate this game.
I seen more hate about everything arround the characters then the characters themselfs. Mechanics, price, genre, the generic live service stuff, etc.
he can't admit ESG/DEI is a problem cause media supports it
access media and all that
I mean, what’s the point of a hero shooter where most of the heroes are lame?
They could put doomguy and mario in this game. I'm not paying 40$ for an Overwatch clone.
The cast isn’t compelling for sure. You need clear designs (think TF2) that are recognizable, differentiated, and exciting.
But I think a lot of it is everything else on top of a bland cast. (Though I do like yellow robot)
They will throw 300 million at this but nothing at Days gone 2….
The thing I've noticed about this game is that people don't HATE it, they just. Don't care. It's yet another pvp team-hero-shooter, and although it looks perfectly decent, that, I think, is the issue. There's not really anything about it that makes it stand out in comparison to what people already have, for less cost. People are pissed at Overwatch, sure, but Overwatch is free (and so is fortnight, on that thought), so why pay 40 dollars for this other thing that's probably gonna nickle-and-dime them just as much, y'know?
The only thing of notice in concord is how ugly the characters are.
@@ThePassablePlayer Yeah if you have a game that is supposed to compete with such other games that are free and nothing looks cool at all then you dig your own crave.
For $40 this looks incredibly mid (at best...), controversy aside.
To think this disaster is getting an episode in the upcoming "Secret Level" is beyond me…
"A lot of people interested in concord." Hahahah, oh my man said that seriously.
One cool thing was the physics based abilities. The bouncy teleport ball was a good idea. Too bad there wasnt more creative abilities like that
Mech Assault, Gears of War, Halo, Titanfall 2. Most COD's. All have story modes. This should have. Lazy.
It's akin to Titanfall 1's story mode.
Would you have really wanted a story mode? The dialogue is bad enough in the cutscenes we got already.
@@r.e.z9428 I guess in hindsight, the lack of a story mode is a mercy in reality. But the reveal that this is another hero shooter definitely killed people's interest.
Hero shooters don't have story modes. They have lore that's delivered in cutscenes, side content, in-game banter, and maybe secondary PvE modes.
If Concord did have a proper story mode that would actually be a big differentiating feature for them, something the game desperately needs.
@@OrionDawn15 Oh most definitely.
Watch this game become free to play months after release and then die after a few weeks
Fyi, this video is now as old as concord's lifespan
I am fully convinced it is the character design. They made this during peak Marvel burnout during peak hero shooter burnout. If they had you customize a character and bring in different builds like The Finals while keeping that setting and some of the customization, as well as the Destiny 2-style PVP, it might've had a chance. They are trend chasing so hard that everyone can see it.
Spending a lot of money on Animatics. Too. If they wanted to make a Movie... Why did they not make a Movie?
I hate "Story Based" PvP games. The last thing I play a PvP game is for the story
Maybe, burnout is key here, even the live service burnout. But the mechanics dont help at all.
Rivals was beating this game out of the water and it was a closed beta. People aren't tired of hero shooters, concord just looked so bad and, based on people who did play it, absolutely played terribly too
Edit: Rivals is also a marvel game, so it's not marvel burnout too, between rivals and deadpool 3
Absolutely. I think part of it is we have been in an extremely solid chunk of time(sake of argument say past 10-15 or so years especially) where design people have been so afraid and running full sprint trying their hardest to not fall into generic bland military hero guy grey soup of prior eras of gaming, so people are just throwing any sort of oblong abstract design and barf of various color palettes and styles despite a lot of clashing. We also have been entrenched in an overload of media(most especially in movies and tv) where the template for personalities and character writing is ungodly shallow and uninspired so everyone just sounds and acts the same as you've seen before. Even going beyond Whedon-ism, we're nearly 20 years with people trying to make every character Tony Stark.
I legitimately thought Concord first time I saw it was something an AI came up with because the designs and ways the characters were just seemed so done to death and playing right into what we've seen before. Even for a major product game, they couldn't have come up with something more interesting?
On the physical model design I feel like the creators felt like having them look so absurd and jumbled would stick out but it weirdly just makes them seem almost too alike or just not all that appealing.Humans are programmed to patterns and some form of consistency order, oblong shaped Futurama side character rejects with Deadpool wise cracking we've heard 100 times over is not gonna cut it.
It doesn't even need to be this bad. Look to the book Darius Kazemi did on Jagged Alliance 2 that had the creators of that game talking about how the goal was making a big playable character roster that yes did fit in the umbrella of action movie tropes and cliches but making them stand out and feel very different and unique which they 100% succeeded on.
That you say that there is an exhaustion of Marvel is a LIE, when we are literally still talking about Marvel, Marvel Rivals is one of the most anticipated games and there is literally hype for Marvel.
Between this and Bungie, Sony really nailed it with their live service acquisitions.
"early in the spring"
Nope. It was 2 weeks later. Full shut down. Actually crazy
This definitely is a game. No one can deny that.
I see THIS Concord going the way of the Jet of the same name.
Concord should've been Payday 2 in space cities, and the opposing team plays the cops or another group of robbers, both trying to get the objective. Could've been interesting.
If Overwatch never went free to play, maybe? this would’ve succeeded. But what shocks me the most is PlayStation funding 300M for this game. Holy crap that’s insane amount of money for a simple hero shooter lol
They'd make more money allowing Bloodborne to be ported to PC then Concord will make in its entire lifetime.
FR I don't understand why they don't just release it on PC. That game is an instant goldmine.
Supposing 10000 people buy this Sony will still have a 299 million dollar loss
Released on the same day as Black Myth Wukong ouch. i realise not in the same genre but could you set yourself up for more failure if you tried to.
And in the same week as a new overwatch hero drop as well. They literally couldn’t have picked a worse time to capture any audience.
7:00 20 dollars for 3 days early in a multiplayer only game? I doubt it.
Hahahah you had me at the first 15secs, subscribed!
