Concord - robots with pronouns

[moocow]

Damn, this is some desperate damage control.

Ah well, I don't care. A flop is a flop and it's always funny to see some wretched asshole say things like "these internet trolls are just talentless hacks!" right before his magnum opus falls flat on its face and shits itself as it gets unceremoniously dragged back out behind the barn for the Old Yeller treatment.

I hope no matter how much money this idiot company pissed away on this train wreck, it hurts their finances plenty.

 

[TheHarbinger]

so could the game be pushing near a billion dollars?

This game represents likely a $2 billion opportunity cost at a minimum. For the cost of 'making' Concord they could have financed two or three AAA level games from proven franchises that would have netted them significant profits. Or they could have simply given away $400 million in PS5 hardware discounts to increase their market share for the console. Or spent $400 million in advertising during the holiday shopping season.

This is nearly half a billion dollars with nothing to show. And almost nothing that can be sold off or reworked into something even remotely useful.

400 million is completely believably for a multiplayer game that was supposed to be a massive money maker flagship franchise with new cgi animations and controllers made for it. so you have an expensive genre, more dumped in because its supposed to be an iconic cash cow flagship, bloat and shit devs, etc. apparently near 2k employees.

It's hilarious how many failed franchises were called "The next Star Wars" before becoming a dumpster fire. Of course now Star Wars is a flaming heap of wreckage itself. They act like Star Wars or Game of Thrones were billion dollar successes in their first pieces of media.

I can't actually tell if this is real or not, given the massive recall on them. To me its a coinflip probability.

It's a shoop, that's not how those boxes would lay in a pile.

. So what did they do instead and where did the money go?

probably fucked around and blamed sony for being capitalist swine and misused funds to have fun with toys in the office.

lmao

i think many posters here could probably whip up some bullshit people would pay a few bucks for at least lol.

They act like Star Wars or Game of Thrones were billion dollar successes in their first pieces of media.

no one wants to put the work in to build up anything. they just want to throw money at people to cobble together expensive money traps. which im all for it bankrupts the worse types of people i hope they really dig into their echo chambers and go destitute rather than admit the general audience isnt as gung ho about left wing shit as theyd like

This game represents likely a $2 billion opportunity cost at a minimum.

also the cgi episode they made, the merch, the advertising, the journo shill bribes, and it might be nearly a billion just direct cost which is fucking crazy. i cant believe how out of touch the entire sony apparatus is.

Death Of A Game just recently covered this game. They also talk about the whole DEI and Sweet Baby controversy (and how they don’t think woke = broke is a thing) at 26:10 of the video.

Every single day for the last week has had youtube recommend me either 1) a redesign of Concord characters or 2) iT gEtS w0RsE-type of grifter white noise, and because of that, now I know the Concord cast from memory (Lennox, Haymar, Starchild, 1-off, Vale, IT-Z, Teo, Roka, etc...) The irony of this is I don't play herotrash so you can't ask me who's who on APEX beyond Bangalore or uuh, dude with the grenade launcher. Likewise for OW.

"fully alienate" yes you dipshit corporations try to play all sides. if they could get away with it mcdonalds would sieg heil with a rainbow flag pin on. im so tired of all these dipshits being so smug while being so low iq and thinking everyone else is more retarded than they are. "the sole reason above all else" no you fucking dipshit it obviously didnt help though now did it? and alot of their practices even if they didnt lead directly to alienating large portions of consumers (even though it did) still led to derivative practices that most certainly did.

ie oh we need representation so all nigger uggos. oh we need a diverse inclusive studio so no criticism. the mindset does more than just put off customers directly its also just a rotten foundation for your company and your life and pandering too far to worthless subhumans infects your base with worthless faggots who arent a reliable base.

SC2 is dead? Does the SC2 players know this? Did they get the notice? wtf

The ResetEra/GCJ have struck back. Got this guy fired for speaking out against Concord.

You mean to tell me Era don't actually like listening to mutts and shitskins like they claim???

I came here to post this. Dude was tiptoeing so hard around the issue and then suddenly at the 25 minute mark go full fag lisp "ugh you like don't support the rights of humans!" and goes into full denial mode. You don't get to toss PC Gamer under the bus and then take their place doing the same shit retard.

 

[Commander X]

I see people in the "gaming press" attempting to tie the failure of Concord to a "reactionary rejection of games with minorities" or some such garbage.

People dislike games like Concord and Dustborn and other overhyped failures because they are made for no one. They are made because professionally annoying people convinced big companies and governments to invest in trash games with all possible edges sanded off and characters talking like corporate HR drones.

Some of concept designs in Concord actually are interesting but they buffed out every aberrant detail in the models so that there was no personality, besides it releasing in a oversaturated market at a high price point compared to competitors, not to mention releasing a "hero shooter" eight years after THE hero shooter (Overwatch) took most of the market share. Nobody knew or cared that there are "minorities" in it.

 

[I Know 孤独のせい]

Amazing to see how game journalist, resetera and other undesirables still playing defense force and doing damage control. Like at some point even they have to realize why this game failed and regardless if it cost 400 or 200 or a different number of millions of dollars that that was an insane amount of money for such a project. Almost as bad as all the mentally ill that constantly suck Nintendo's cock. "Leave the corporation alone, Chud!"

i remember him saying that DmC reached the milestone of 5 million sales after 5 years and it being a moderate success, and i called him out on it that by the time it became 6 months old you could find the game for ten dollars, and that the re-release on ps4 and xboxone sold like shit.
he still did not want to budge and kept going it does not mather because it did, and i just showed him the simple math that sales goals only work in the first year because you make significantly less after that.

That's a real shame, I did actually enjoy his videos. Yet another redditor that worships nigger dicks to throw into the pile.

The cultists see this as a personal affront to their own existence, of course they will fight to the death to defend the honor or a multibillion corporation(and then unironically put "Workers of the world, unite!" with a commie flag avatar in their xitter bio).

I think it's fear, if you speak out too much you can even get your bank account compromised.
But maybe this will change, a few years ago I don't think a normie movie reviewer like Jeramy Jahns would ever touch something like that new Matt Walsh movie, and that is a thousand times more controversial than shitting on Concord.

 

[Oliver Onions]

400 million? Citation fucking needed.

I imagine the IRS will be saying the same, because the only way I can see that figure being official is if Sony are stuffing whatever bullshit they can in as a write-off, like including the cost of producing the now completely pointless Amazon TV show episode.

So Producers set their goals for their areas for each one of these many phases, and not once did they actually successfully meet them.

My question is: how? The usual answers are scope creep or indecisive management, but given that nothing in Concord was pushing the envelope (except maybe the cinematics which I'm pretty sure were outsourced) how could a team of industry 'veterans' struggle so hard to put out something so mediocre?

Those death of a game videos are worthless.

I used to enjoy them as background noise but they always felt very surface level, and the noir detective schtick is super gay. Another YouTuber I like(d), Beige Frequency, pulled a similar stunt in his recent review of Joe Rogan's latest stand-up abortion, saying depictions like Norman Bates and Buffallo Bill were responsible for troons being regarded as violent sex pests, as opposed to the fact 99.9% of irl troons are violent sex pests.

I'd prefer they not address this stuff at all rather than give the most retarded hot takes possible.

 

[Mr. Zed da Robot Poon Fed]

I have a feeling that game journalists will refuse to speak on these points because it was their hated outcast Colin Moriarty who got the scoop.

I knew Colin Moriarty didn’t belong on Kinda Funny Games when he argued with Greg Miller about whether it should be required to have an internet connection in order to play games: Colin argued no; Greg argued yes. This was a result of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 requiring a patch that was half the size of the full game.
