Concord should have been free to play to build a player count then they can charge for rolling out extra characters,map packs,skins and season passes ect.

I mean if you compare Horizon, Uncgarted, God of War, Spiderman numbers on PS4/PS5 to PC, its clear they turn up for their single player games more. They are a different fanbase.
Im not talking about the fans who buy Fifa, GTA, COD, fortnite for free, Apex Legends etc They arent the fans who buy PS5 for PS studio games. Those fans normally turn up, evem if its for a game like Days Gone.
Returnal didnt flop lol. They said they were very happy with it, purchased the studio
There not gonna close the game down before they try and put it on FP2/PS+
The players numbers are abysmal because of the way it looks and everyone and there mums sayings its dead on arrival. And you dont know about the PS numbers. Match making is mostly under 30 seconds and if you with a groups, its much faster.
Whereas reviews are saying the gameplay is good and scoring it based on its price and would it last in todays market lol.
They got the hardest part right, which is gameplay.

I'm just saying that these types of games (5v5 Hero Shooter) don't launch with single player campaigns too often. The most successful ones on PlayStation are multiplayer only.
500k 3 months after release isn't great. Plus, I think Returnal was discounted pretty quickly based on the soft sales.
Imagine even spending so much time thinking and discussing this game lol
Shit flopped, it doesn’t really need 1000 thinkpieces and history lessons. Games flop everyday, b

I am saying! I have never seen so many think pieces about a game on this site. Hilarious how suddenly everyone wanna discuss a game they have no interest in or haven't played or won't support.
But threads about games they claim they're interested in, are dead and buried or barely can get two pages of discussions here.
Such a weird ass place where so called gamers don't wanna discuss games they are playing but just wanna pile on and regurgitate the same shit over and over and Hi-Five each other about a game they all hate.
Returnal had a small budget and it came out on a 10 million install base with severe shortages... It sold over 1 million and Sony themselves came out and said it surpassed internal metrics and is considered a hit for them.
Please, be a sequel..

I hope their new IP still has the same gameplay, and straight up weird absurdity to it.It's not getting one unfortunately
Next game is a New IP they said
If you want to bring in more of your traditional fans like me, you need a campaign. I get other 3rd party dont do it. But it didnt need to be a PVP hero shooter only. That could of been its MP mode and carry the story on.
A normal campaign with how the crew got together would of been great. Add in some survival modes, clicker mode (like a zombie mode), the PVP modes they are gonna add with season 1, you’d have a better package.
Luckily games sell after 3 months. They were happy with it

Days Gone sold over 8 million and was considered a failure. I'd love to see where Sony said Returnal exceeded expectations.
Where did Sony ever say Days Gone was a failure?. I'd love to see where Sony said this.
Because it was received fairly well.
Days Gone was Sony first game launched with bug issues and not universally praised like Horizon, TLOU, Uncharted, Spiderman, GOW etc. (Not saying they didnt have criticism but it wasnt from PS fans) But no1 called it a failure

I guess that's like saying "Returnal didn't sell well so they should have added a 5v5 mode."
I just don't think successful game developers make games like that. It turns into the Homer Simpson car. You have to pick a lane and excell at it.

Perhaps failure was too strong but it didn't sell enough to warrant a sequel even though sequels are easier to make.
Information is every easily accessible. Sony Bend Upper Management declined the Pitch for a sequel. Not Sony.
Sony was clearly satisfied with the game given how hard they kept pushing it after release, included it in their PS+ Collection as must play games and then made it one for their first PC ports and also amongst the best selling.
There were even talks of a movie they wanted to produce but we'll see.

Sony Bend upper management declined the pitch for a sequel because Days Gone underperformed.
