Concord Official Hype Thread (robots pronouns edition)

While Black Myth Wukong got over 2.2M players on Steam alone, lets hope Concord can break 2.2k💩

My goal with this official hype thread is to put as much effort into it as Sony did for their 100M+ game😎So yea, i am done with it, my job here is done.

6/10 GS

63/100 Meta.

Oh no! The robot is a he.

Hope it scores better than Black Myth.

I'll give Concord a 6/10 with 75-80MC.

I haven't really pay much attention to this game, so cannot comment if it'll live up to everyone's expectations for those who are hype for it. Hope everyone enjoys it.

Everyone will enjoy it as much as the Borderlands movie. The only thing you will see from Concord is extreme negativity everywhere you look at. Player numbers will be low from day one, and drop like crazy within 3-4 days, and when that happens every content creator will milk the "Concord died within 72h!". Its over before it even started. Good. Sony deserves to lose over 100M for this trash.

5/10 + 3/10 Sony review handicap applied.

8/10, but servers will be down in a year.

Have zero interest in this myself but I’ll say:

GS - 7/10

MC - 76

I think my top 5 are David, R2D2, Johnny 5, T-800 and WALL-E.

6 GS/72 MC

Shovelware

The only kind of games you get on Playstation these days.

Even worse you have to actually pay for it.

Its only $40 so i decided to buy it for you. Will send you a code on the 23rd.

So it should be called a GaaStation?

I want it to score high just so people cry foul.

I don't care about this game.

What's that? Another shitty Sony GaaS? I'll pass.

I'm willing to bet my Gamespot account that this game will NOT go as high as Wukong numbers did today.

I'm rooting for it, because if it succeeds then Sony will make plenty more of them and their single player games will suffer 😁

So for shits & giggles, let go...

8/10 here, and don't care about metashitic.

Is anyone actually interested in the game? Like "interested" interested and not just company-simping interested?

😆FUNNY

No wonder cows are begging for Xbox studios games with shit offerings like concord 😂🤣

Won't matter what it scores because it won't bring in any revenue. This game will be a financial flop and close the studio.

I already played too much of Overwatch when it was new to the gaming world, so Concord does nothing for me.

@davillain: That's what I mean. I feel like gamers are over the hero shooter thing cos it's kinda saturated at this point. Worse that the game is 40 bucks when majority of the competition is free.

A game where you get to decide the future of Sony.... Do you skip Concord and tell them to knock it off and get back to what made them a force in the industry or do you lop it up and consume it because when you're thirsty standards go out the window?

Its my hope that this is the last live service hero shooter ever made/10

Here I am, still holding up hope that Sony will go back to 3D platformers like Sly Cooper.

Concord hype..

@R4gn4r0k: Sony is too far down the big AAA cinematic third person action adventure 7hrs+ cutscenes route to ever go back to platformers lol.

One thing I've learned is that AAA publishers never, ever, ever, ever make the right conclusions from what people are trying to tell them.

Anthem flopped = people want more live service games

Battlefield V flopped = people want an even worse post launch roadmap, less teamplay and less of what makes Battlefield "Battlefield" (I saw the Battlefield V mistake repeated on so many other games this past year)

Suicide Squad flopped and hogwarts (singleplayer) was a success = people want more live service games

https://www.eurogamer.net/warner-bros-says-it-plans-to-transform-its-biggest-franchises-into-live-service-games

https://www.eurogamer.net/warner-bros-focusing-on-mobile-and-free-to-play-instead-of-volatile-aaa-console-games

Rather than just launching a one-and-done console game, how do we develop a game around, for example, aHogwarts Legacyor Harry Potter, that is a live-service where people can live and work and build and play in that world in an ongoing basis?

They are literally doing the reverse of what people, voting with their money are telling them to do.

If Concord flops, and it will flop by every single metric, because even if Sony is expecting 12 people to play this game their metric will still be off.

But if Concord flops, Sony will double down on Live Service because hey, Helldivers was a succes, right?

Nuff said. lol :P

That's the problem, overwatch is like 8 years old and still better than this game.

It even has the gay stuff if that's what tickles your fancy

And it's F2P

Nobody going to buy this lol

Live service games simply makes more money than a single player game and it is not even close.

Well of course, people have been brainwashed and conditioned into liking them. I never see a single ad about singleplayer games on youtube, all the ads I see are for games like raid shadow legends, mobile games, overwatch and live service games.

How much money is being spent on promoting live service games every single day? And how much money is being spent on promoting singleplayer games? There's a world of difference there as well.

This game not being F2P is business malpractice.

Live service games keep cropping up because people keep voting *for* them with their wallets. We keep pointing to failed live service games and never seem to mention the fact that there are dozens, if not hundreds, of successful ones and the biggest ones make an absurd amount of money. Heck, even the smaller ones have the ability to make a significantly larger return than a traditionally packaged product.

re: doubling down ... it wouldn't be any different if it were in reverse. PlayStation doubled down on big AAA single player games because they had a handful of incredibly successful games in the PS3 generation (ex. Uncharted and TLOU) and their multiplayer games and tacked on modes failed.

They should always focus on what they're good at. That core, for the forseeable future, is still very much big AAA single player games but *why* can't that be more? Helldivers 2 is successful, and it proves that PlayStation can either through partnerships or acquisitions put together a successful live service game. It's just odd that people have this idea that PlayStation simply cannot have GOTY single player games *and* world class live service games.

This entire generation has been a farce when it comes to GOTY single player games, what did Sony bring?

I do know what PS5 will be getting though:

more live service games.

@R4gn4r0k: Sony is getting Astrobot PS5 this year and it's a SP game...a platforming game at that. As far as SP game goes, I'm mad at MS for not giving Banjo/Kazooie another chance.

Yup, they have Vicarious Visions and they had Toys for Bob to make a new Banjo kazooie game, instead they seem to be chasing the same cinematic games that Sony used to make.

I'm not dissing Astrobot, I'm not dissing God of War (Valhalla was fantastic).

But in the eyes of some people on here Sony seemingly can do no wrong, and they can. They're launching Concord in 2 days.

Regardless of how *you* feel about the caliber of the games, they are still GOTY caliber games, and PlayStation Studios has had a game nominated for GOTY (and other awards) every single year this generation.

What did Sony bring? GOTY caliber games.

And what exactly is your stance here? That PlayStation should keep making subpar single player games as opposed to trying something new? That they should just make better games? That's one heck of a revelation. I'm sure they didn't know they should be making better games for R4gn4r0k from GameSpot forums. lol

Ooof, so much hot air. Why don't you list all the singleplayer GOTY candidates that Sony made this gen.

This absolute farce of a gen for Playstation users.

Want to have an honest conversation? Go look them up yourself.

I'm not going to waste my time on something you'll disregard. And I know you will since you don't know them and yet have already come to a conclusion.

Wow, so much disdain for your conversation partner.

Yikes

Sony fannies getting hostile.

Cost 300 million to make.

Yet it won't have any players to even buy 300 dollars worth of microtransactions.

All this money could've been spent on building another WW2 shooter (known to sell well) or about 600 Patapon or Loco Roco type games.

Concord was in development for 8 years. Of course, that includes pre-production and whatnot.

You know what else released 8 years ago? Overwatch.

Damn, that is an insane budget. I guess they are going to extend multi platform support even more for this game.😏
