Concord - robots with pronouns

[Male Idiot]

It takes a special level of fail to not even appeal to coomers.

Plus look at all the designs. The colour schemes are all fucked up crayon pastel shit. When designing a fighter, you need it to be either HOT or impressive. These are neither. Sauron isn't hot but he is impressive. The blondie from Metroid is hot if not imposing.

Dead Lock is better,
Black Myth Wukong (I've heard) is better

>200 million dollars
>8 years of development
>Sony shuts down all of their Japanese studios and redirects their efforts into developing "cinematic" experiences to appeal to western gamers
>Sony liquidates countless other studios in the pursuit of funding this game
>Sony buys Bungie to aid in developing this game
>Sony thinks this is going to be a huge success rivaling COD and Fortnite, so they fund an entire multimillion dollar CGI-animated episode to be aired in Amazon's Secret Level anthology series
>Shuts down in 10 days
>Sony refunds everyone

This is probably the biggest failure in gaming history. No not probably, Concord IS the biggest failure in gaming history.

What confuses me about the whole thing is that it's a hero shooter in the first place. If they wanted to do big cinematic experience shit wouldn't they want to do an action RPG or something? I remember seeing the marketing for the game a while back and it was all about the characters talking with each other and doing missions. Could have done something like Vermintide? Could have done anything else?

Vermintide is a gem. I'm glad they made the informed decision to sink hero shooters. Stay away from my cozy co op shooters, AAA rat scum!

 

[The Punished Mitch]

Imagine if they DCA'd into Bitcoin over the last 8 years instead

It would seem like an easy sell to just make a killzone hero shooter where the heroes just look like Killzone characters but with a bit more personality

 

[Hooked on phobics]

Watching this has been funny.

>covers the news of shut down
>dude decides to leave and check multiple stores for inventory of concord
>3 stores say they've sold not 1 copy
>gamestop says they "either sold every copy, or never got any". (uhuh...sure....)
>dude buys copies for the lulz

Also, the only 2 "artwork" on steam for concord are mocking it.

 

[Chick in Jockey]

Now someone should get Sony to re-open Japan Studio, fuck off with the DEI and censorship bullshit, and to actually make good games again (That aren't cinematic circlejerk walking simulators for nu-males).

I would rather play the most raunchy coomer kusoge on PS3 than to play this shit.

This is probably the biggest failure in gaming history. No not probably, Concord IS the biggest failure in gaming history.

If we factor in how much it costed, and they are refunding most people, it maybe the biggest fail in gaming history by an objective metric. It just doesn't feel like it because it never got any hype. It was dead on arrival, with zero cultural weight behind it. Stillborn is taxpayer funded, so its on the EU taxpayers dime. Star Wars Ma'am Solo and Nigger Samurai is a baghold scam but not refunds.

Sony must refund since its a server only game.

I bet whoever at Sony had the idea to tack on a jeet-coded offline pve mode but didn't is feeling the heat right now.

 

[anklyscr]

The wanted to be the next overwatch. But alas. They couldn't even make it a fortnite.

Shut it down. Threads over. No one can beat this pun.

 

[The Last Stand]

What was the name of that PUBG clone sequel that was so bad they closed it and went back to the original game? Think that had a shorter lifespan, but doesn't make this situation any less crazy.

The Culling 2, which lasted eight days. I've yet to find its development costs. Even so, I bet it was a fraction of what Sony put up for Concord. No matter how you slice it, Concord bombed HARD.

 

[Prophetic Spirit]

The blondie from Metroid is hot if not imposing.

Samus is both hot and imposing actually.
Did you see her? Is tall as fuck.

 

[Moths]

Really shows how much of a myth the "woke playerbase" really is and even they won't play this slop instead of their walking simulators.

Unfortunately in the modern day of "too big to fail" this won't cause a reset like ET did so I expect Sony to sacrifice millions more dollars on the altar of DEI shit that no significant gaming audience cares about.

Also lol, lmao even, rest in piss and hope all the people who tweet about gaymes and never play them seethe on twitter eternally. For Sony to actually offer refunds for once is truly an amazing spectacle.

Actually, we know the development costs of the game but how much money did they burn animating the related slop on netflix and advertising in general? Surely we must be nearing at least half a billi9m down the drain betting on this.

 

[Mr Processor]

Sony giving refunds?

Now you know that Concord is worthless.

So, what are the odds that this horrible, catastrophic failure of Concord gets Sony to release Bloodborne on PC so they can make money hand over fist instead of flushing it down the toilet?

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Sony:

• abandoned VR2
• Refuse to remaster bloodborne
• refuse a bloodborne sequel
• cancelled factions
• cancelled up to 8 other live service projects nearing completion
• launched Lego horizons on switch
• increased the price of the ps5 twice
• Killed Helldivers 2 hype with one decision
• Have no games
• Have 20+ studios doing nothing
• Launched a handheld device that requires a PS5 to play and can't go further than local wifi
• Increased the price of PSN
• Have no gaming shows and their state of plays are terrible
• Haven't pushed Druckman off of a cliff.
• Launch their games on PC
• Lose $199 million on Concord

I don't know who is in charge, but they have no fucking idea what they're doing and it's amazing to watch

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Samus is both hot and imposing actually.
Did you see her? Is tall as fuck.

And losers cope by insisting she's a troon.

 

[Mr. Zed da Robot Poon Fed]

What was that game that CliffyB worked on that was ultra-progressive and flopped the same way? I can't remember the name now...

Cliff has a lot of issues with regards to LawBreakers, including but not limited to:

• abandoning his Xbox fanbase from Gears of War in favor of trying to get the PC/PlayStation crowd
• setting the price of the game as $30 instead of making it free-to-play
• muh gender-neutral bathrooms
• Cliff just being a jackass, period
• releasing the game in an already-saturated market (when Overwatch was announced, he was like "Oh fuck!"); TF2 has more players than LawBreakers when it came out, and that was 10 years old by then

 

[Sharpeteer]

Really old joke by now, but look at that "modern audience." It's so small it doesn't even exist.

Considering Star Wars still puts out woke shit even after all of its failures, I highly doubt anyone is going to learn anything from this

No, they will intentionally "learn" the wrong lesson. That is, if they don't simply blame the "alt-right" yet again as if it's still 2016-2017, they'll have this stunning revelation that "this failed because gamers simply don't like hero shooters now! That must be it!" Completely ignoring the elephant in the room. Also it took TWELVE YEARS for normies to finally start understanding that Star Wars sucks now, and yet Disney still pumps out Star slop content, so we got a long way to go.

In all seriousness, one "lesson" I really do think they will unfortunately take from this is that when they make woke slop from an original new IP that it'll fail, so they must continue to make woke slop out of pre-existing IPs that are currently great and have built-in audiences, as that's the only way to get it in front of a lot of people.

Rip Star Wars.

Surely losing 200 MILLION DOLLARS will force Sony to pivot, and no longer release Wokeslop (it won't)

Primecap, Blackrock and Vanguard have a lot of money to burn on this shit, so of course not.

Once you reach Hitler Rants, it's over

I miss "Fegelein: The Lost Tapes." Actual based Downfall parody channel that made excellent high effort stuff. Highly recommend watching his old videos if you find the time.

"Well I guess this one can just die, no big loss!"

Big fan of Ross, and his SKG movement is excellent. I agree though, just let this one go. It's fine.

Its never happening and is forever confined to emulator hell, don't get your hopes up, Sony still isn't that desperate yet.

 

[Markorian]

Have* no games

*HAD no games. Now, they're at negative one.

 

[Übertroon]

They don't even play their walking sims lol
Dustborn couldn't even hit triple digit player peak, and after the first week now can't hit double digits.
There literally is no woke market.
Those people don't play games.
They can only see success by skinwalking a older more popular franchise
