Yeah Concord looks like a safe Marvel-esque games, but let's see what gameplay is like. Surely story and graphics/art style are even less important in a live service game.

I'd say being more specific they are going for the Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege maybe a bit of Apex Legends and specially Overwatch audience considering this game is:
  • 5 vs 5 squad/team based MP
  • Hero, arena, tactical shooter
  • FPS GaaS
  • Futuristic fantasy but somehow realistic setting
I think they will take advantage of Valorant not being in consoles, Rainbow Six Siege being on their sunseting stage after so many years running and Overwatch 2 having had a troublesome transition from 1 to 2 having so many unhappy players.

I know several woke/feminist activists were fans of Overwatch when I never saw playing any other shooter, so I assume the woke part of it appealed to them and maybe this is what Sony is chasing in this game in particular.

I assume thaat on top of this, since Marvel stuff and narrative cinematics work very well for Sony games, they tried to keep some Guardians of the Galaxy vibe weekly cutscenes as reward for weekly engagement.

I didn't really think Helldivers stood a chance and its probably Sony's most successful/suprising launch since Spiderman 1, so I wouldn't count Concord out.

But I also said that about Foamstars, which was totally stillborn so ehh.

I can say that helldiver's humor and focus on laughing at the plot and not taking things serious was one big hook for me.

I can bet you I know exactly how Concord’s writers look like and what their agenda is.

People bring foamstars like some kinda of lesson. Foamstar is the most uninspired game I’ve seen. This game on the other hand looks miles better than overwatch and valorant. And I’m saying this as someone who don’t care about these type of games

Sustainable approach to game development. Goes ahead and invest in two completely unnecessary CGI trailers.

Maybe their target demographic is black and Hispanic women that are into 5vs5 shooters, that is definitely an untapped market.

You would not be saying that if this wasn't a Sony game. Please stop the cap. Were you also hyped for Hyenas and Fairgame$?

It's getting the same treatment as Overwatch or Valorant got, I'm not the one being inconsistent.

I never played a single second of those games and neither will I play a second of this garbage. This is not the type of game I was expecting when I bought a PS5.

One is a game designed by people who know what a game should be.
The other is a game developed by DEI tick-box committee who have no idea what a game is.

Sony should take note; more astrobot, less hero shooter.

Where did I mention I’m hyped for this generic garbage?
Tell me the straight face the graphics in this game doesn’t look better than over watch and valorant. Fucking annoying every time you say something “it’s just because it’s Sony game” to say that you would assume I buy anything they make 🤡
