Are you ready for a Concord part 2?

The latest rumour is that Sony has great optimism and are very positive about its next live service game in Fairgames by Haven Studios.

I don't know about you, but I think Sony's in for another arse kicking, and i'm sure we're all here for it 🤭

Lems have been spending a lot of time talking about Sony games lately. I guess there isn’t much to play on the Xbox 😆

Did you get your refund yet for the biggest flop in history?

Says the folks who just spent an entire year tthirsting for all things Starfield... 🙃

As someone who's reading about videogames every day, I hadn't even heard of Concord until close to release, and I haven't heard about this game. If I haven't, most people haven't. So again, like Concord, another unknown and samey game in an already crowded market? Good luck with that, I guess. I would've focused on fun shit in either new or established franchises instead of crapping out terrible milking games until one sticks, but that's just me.

I'm a LOT more interested in Fairgames... it won't do nearly as bad.

From everything I've gathered it's like a multiplayer pvp version of Payday in sense that teams must defend or steal property.

Could be a lot of fun, and I'll probably get it to try it out where as I had no interest in Concord from thr start.

fairgames sony needs to show it. never heard of it. funny xbox fans forget the helldiver2 was a success. were is xbox success of these games? redfall?

The only sony live service game I have a slight interest in is Marathon because of Bungie.

Whatever this Fairgames is, I hope it at least fares better than concord.

Have absolutely zero interest in Fairgames.

No service games kthx and announce that Marathon will switch to be a campaign based game already

It looks pretty cringe. Reminds me of Woke Dogs 2 and the latest Saints Row. Not getting good vibes from it at all.

So says the guy who defended Sony with Concord.

You're a Sony Shill, bro.

A good service game is a dead one.

It's a PvPvE heist game. That's not a very competitive space AFAIK so it has a much better chance of doing well.

People need to keep in mind Jim Ryan signed more contracts to get as many as GaaS & PVP games before he left Sony. He rarely did anything on the SP side of things. Whatever is left, Sony is trying to get them out asap.

I'll always give a game a chance if it's worth my time and if not, I'll just move on. I'll check out Fairgames whenever they'll show gameplay trailer. Concord just didn't click for me as I've played too much on Overwatch and an Overwatch clone doesn't work for me...unless you do something very unique which Concord didn't do.

Everyone forgot about Helldivers 2.....

I'd rather have that TLOU Factions game to be honest.

Meh. Based off first impressions, Fairgames did nothing for me. Looks very generic.

Marathon on the other hand, that looks at least visibly excellent. I don't care much for extraction shooters but based off looks and style alone, I wanna be in that world. We know Bungie can deliver on gameplay so I'm hopeful for this one

@Nonstop-Madness: It might not take the industry by storm, but the genre is new and doesn't have much competition. If the game is competent it will do well (just an educated guess, but all the red flags of Concord simply aren't there).

I'll probably buy the game day 1 if it looks decent where as I never had any interest in purchasing Concord... nor did anyone else I know.

Concord should have been ftp day one. They overestimated the magic of the $40 price tag after Helldivers 2 and thought at that price it would do very well.

Doesn't seem ready to release I can't even find any gameplay videos of it just CGI trailers. That doesn't sound like any game they have high hopes for but then again they say a State Of Play is imminent.

Never heard of this game 🤷

He’s like an evil Bond villain. Why did he do this? Playstation was donig brilliantly… Ryan: Destroy everything, collect bonus, jump ship. What a crook…

I hope Concord 2.0 looks better than this:

Betting this game is gonna get shelved.

Well, I google the game, and yep, it doesn't look good at all.

Me neither, but my body is ready. I think...

If Sony fans were smart they'd identify a festering turd from a mile away and ignore it. They did it with Concord(lol) If you want your focused single player games back you better not be buying hot garbage that sets the industry back. Have some standards not a slave to a company.

Funny how cows forget that Helldivers is from a third part dev who came up with the idea and made it where Sony bought the IP.

Big difference from a Sony dev coming up with garbage live service games from within.

No, we want it released then canned like Concord, nothing is funnier than a Sony failure.

@last_lap: Concord was apparently 8 years in development. Long before Sony bought the studio

@uitravioience: And?

@last_lap: Sony didn't come up with the game

Never heard of it. Which is a bad start.

So ya, expecting a Concord pt 2 lol.

Although I genuinely hope we take the right lesson from this: that is, that people generally don't want live-service games. The exceptions to the rule prove this, as very few of these are successful in the long-term. Some MMO's, a couple hero-based PvP games, and some looter-shooters are really the only standouts, and they've been at the top for 10+ years.

@uitravioience: Irrelevant, you cows are taking credit for Helldivers when it's made and created by a third party dev, so you don't get to pick and choose.

The simple facts are the game and its creators are owned by Sony.

Take the L and move on.

@last_lap: I was just correcting you 🤷

@uitravioience: How can you correct me when what I said is facts?

The game and dev team are owned by Sony,

I am neither ready for Concord part 1 nor part 2. Let us all just forget about this game and play Call of Duty instead.

Looks unappealing, but will probably do a bit better, I dunno.

Not sure why a corporation like Sony would promote this ideology, or trying to make it cool. It's not 🤷‍♂️.

Execs never learn

The future looks grim for Sony's live service efforts.
