Kotaku senior reporter on Concord budget: "$400 million is not the number I've heard"

[ChorizoPicozo]

That's right it's 600 million now

That can't be real people are spreading misinformation about Sony! I say good! If they don't like it they can release a statement breaking down all the costs that went into Concord.

You need to understand that this Concord circus is being fought on multiple levels:

console wars/fanboys
people who hate/love Sony's GaaS initiative
people just reporting the news/rumors
and the culture wars.

Easy, bad reception from the State of Play? Terrible pre-orders leading up to he beta? To the point they had to make it open to PS+ base since not enough people preordered, things were scaled back

exactly.

Probably because Astro Bot was scoring 90+ internally. aka Sony was confident Astro was going to be critical hit. and it made sense due to how it uses the dual sense (it's basically a character inside the game)


nah.

Major releases get a big push

huge release

miles was a stand alone expansion.
Reurnal and rift apart were not major releases


that's the point


the marketing for TLoU was insane

until dawn it's a low effort remake of a niche game

It's a 6-8 hours licensed game. it's not a major release.

it had a strong marketing

mid game.

You have an excuse for everything.

Horizon has an 88 metacritic and is a much bigger budget game than Astro Bot, but no controller... Explain it.

I don't know how much it cost but did you see how long the credit is. Its more than an hour long

I think this is the longest game credit ever. Concord is definitely not cheap.

BTW The "Professor" is in the credit in 3.29 as Prof Brown

Check out the credits for Astro Bot.

People love to be ignorant on how game credits work.

It won't mark sony forever, calm your tits. The 2011 hack has been forgotten and this be forgotten as well.

it is actually never was forgot.

if you check, which fallacies xbots running the most, is the security risks on platforms. they always states about this one.

 

[RE4-Station]

And to think, by this time next year Concord would of costed Sony 70 Billion to make.

Give it a few weeks. I'm sure we'll get to that number.

PC "users" (aka Xbots in disguise) bring it up whenever PS tries to enforce PSN linking.

We'll soon learn a time traveler was trying to prevent Concord from ever existing when they hacked Sony in 2011.
