Sony are rumoured to be bringing Concord back, after large-scale software updates happened in the background.

Sony want to sell 18 million consoles this year and are playing fucky with the numbers. PS5 is now trailing behind PS4 globally (shocker). Sony claim PS5 is more profitable than any previous Playstation generation and everything is fine.

European Sales:


Sony fags coping that 8% of hardware sales are the drop in Xbox sales and the other 10% is drop in switch sales. Proving that Sonyggers are retarded and don't understand percentages.

nobody wanted to concord it when it was in free beta in the first place, I will be surprised if it peaks over 5000 concurrent before dying again

They'd be better off delaying it at this point for the inevitable PS6 and do an unprecedented simultaneous multi cross-generational release for PS4, PS5, & PS6. If they were smart they'd put it on Switch 2 and PC too, then it'd probably sell well enough.

It will be launching on PS6 a year after it launches on PC. R* gunna make people quadruple dip GTA6 to make up for sales.

That's the problem they face; their opening weekend, week, month and year cannot possibly match, let alone exceed, GTA5. There just aren't enough customers. Well, technically there are with 80 million console sales but it would unprecedented levels of day one purchase for a game that is almost certainly going to be shit.

GTA6 is following Cyberpunks pre-launch to a T; delays, lack of screen shots or trailers, developer silence and riding on former glories.
 
The only way they could seriously salvage Concord is by renaming it, and replacing or redesigning most of the characters. They'd have to also change the gameplay to be meaningfully different from other hero shooters to survive on the market.

Fundamentally, nothing about the game is good enough to keep it alive, even if you fixed the most offensive elements, because it's a saturated market. That's just my ideas if they were forced to do it for some reason. Cutting their losses ASAP like Hyenas did was the right move.

Battleborn came out right next to Overwatch, and everyone already knew back then that yeah, they wouldn't coexist. Why do corpos keep throwing their hat in the ring? Is making a stupid, gay hero shooter a rite of passage in the game development community, like heading a failed project at Google supposedly is?

Four hundred million. Fuck SIE.

The only reasoning I can think of for this, is either Sony is banking on a Harris election win, or they know that the election outcome has been pre-determined to be a Harris victory, and she starts a campaign to actively fund Western Woke media to make "people more Woke", and the US taxpayers effectively pay for the $400 million+ Sony sunk into Concord. The timing is also convenient with the active crackdowns on Piracy as of late, trying to remove all other media until Western Woke shit is the only thing left.

Make all the characters attractive females and dress them in bikinis.
Give them huge titties with the best jiggle physics known to man.
F2P.
Rename it Bouncing Betties.
It would probably still be crappy but at least people would play it.

"Governments will save woke media via subsidises" is quite common theory of what will likely happen

Will they try? Sure, but not with everyone. Too many drunk the Woke Kool Aid to save everyone. They will try to save those they feel they need and try to forget about the rest. There is not enough money in the world to save all of those woke media. Also, who cares? Those woke media have lost the customers. Give them money to remain afloat and watch as it takes them a little longer to die. They will not escape their death unless they abandon wokeness and even then most have lost their customers permanently.

You forgot the part that said "Except Mario". It is right there in the title. Clickbait.

I sure can’t wait for fanboys to shout “but muh astro bot” over and over for the next decade whenever someone says PS5 has no games the same way they shout “but muh bloodborne” every time they’re forced to justify the PS4’s existence.

If indeed, as reports indicate, the game took 8 years to develop and $200 million, then when it was 18 months away from release Sony realized it was in such a poor state that they decided to fully go sunk-cost-fallacy and sink ANOTHER $200 million to push it into a viable state. This shows a profound level of incompetence. Firewalk simply is not capable to pull off the type of overhaul that would be necessary to make this game a commercial success.

They'll need to design and model new characters, create new animations, redo the mechanics by designing new game modes and all manner of changes to make it different enough to anything else on the market, In short this would take an immense investment of time, talent and money that, in all honesty, I don't believe this studio has the capacity to achieve such an undertaking.

Then there is the necessity of creating and implementing a cosmetics store within the game to make it viable as a F2P game with skins, emotes, sprays, and others types of items. The problem is that this game has the ugliest character designs of any game in recent memory and the alternate costumes that were available made them even uglier.


It is no secret that these developers have expressed their utter disdain for anything that would appeal to a white, male, heterosexual demographic. These developers have been ideologically conditioned to produce ugliness. The primary reason this game failed was because the characters were so repulsive to look at that nobody wanted to play as them, let alone buy any merchandise that would be associated with this crap. Can anyone even imagine buying a figure of any of these characters to put on a display case? Not a snowball's chance in Hell.

There is nothing Sony can do to salvage this game if they leave this task to the same studio who created it, end of story. If by some madness they insist on rereleasing the game, regardless of rebranding, it is going to fail again.

Concord is a poisoned well, there is no point trying to go back to it. It is dead.

Are there numbers to back this up or just the woke retard on Twitter as the source?

Kirby Discovery sold > 7 million units

The article specifies 3D platformers so no DK games are eligible.

Edit: Its taken from Chris Dring tweets about the game, maybe someone with Twitter access should see what he actually said about it.

I can take some screenshots later but it seems very tales from my anus.

It's the best* selling 3D platformer** in the past 10 years***, excluding Mario****

* in Europe only
** if you don't consider Ratchet and Clank a platformer
*** launch aligned
