Yep. Done are the days of working with Insomniac for decades before acquiring them. Sony needs to move faster now days
Nobody is wishlisting Concord on Steam
- Thread starter Gamernyc78
- Start date
Yeah.. but Steam is important for live service games. Most of the content creators on YT, Twitch streamers that praised Helldivers 2 were PC gamers. The concurrent user numbers in the first few days was unexpected and took Arrowhead by surprise.
If a game is a success on Steam, the game gets good publicity.
The YT channels and X users bashing Concord... are the same anti-'woke' ones who hailed Helldivers 2 for being free from the DEI and Sweet Baby Inc stink......and also Stellar Blade as a revolution because Eve's curves were sexually gratifying for them. Sony and Shift Up benefitted immensely from the hype.
For the chuds on Steam (there are several thousands), Concord is a DEI infested Overwatch clone with unattractive female characters and pronouns... and it costs $40.
As far as PS platform goes, fans who are used to getting big-budget single player games from SIE are disappointed. Also there are chuds on PS too, as evident from the comments on official PS YT channel videos.
Is it?
Live services was always fine on PS without Steam.
The whole CrossPlay gate was made up to fix Steam and Xbox issues with Live Service games using PS base.
And you are a bit off from PS fans... PS fans wants good games and that includes Live Service ones... if you go talk with most of them they will say to miss MAG, EVE, Killzone MP, SOCOON etc... PS fans even wanted Uncahrted MP, TLOU MP, Resistence MP, MotorStorm MP, etc as live service

Give a brand new studio the rights to work on one of Sony's cancelled projects created by one of their most beloved studios? Making a team that specializes in multiplayer make a single player game? sigh.... you guys have to be a little more realistic
They have a solid grasp on core gameplay mechanics. Gameplay seems solid, apart from a few balancing issues. Take what ND was working on and create a smaller scale game.
And it's much easier to create a smaller sp game than it is to create a successful GaaS. At the very least, use a known IP to work on a smaller scale project, instead of hedging the entire team on a brand new IP, in a sea of established IPs.
I agree but not with the western ones, if they fear microsoft buying studios we saw how that turned out. They should try to minimize employee count across the us and europe, the costs will automatically come down. They can keep their premier studios but having the firewalks, havens of the world just makes no sense when they can open 2 studios in malaysia for a fraction of the cost
I've held off on "doa" criticism until the launch. But really that just means that I'll be positioned at the end of the gauntlet with my beating stick.
I wouldn't play a single player game revolving around these characters , that CGI trailer they showed at the last state of play was cringe af
Biggest concern is Sony’s legendary eye for talent is seems to be in shambles. You can’t fix something intangible like this very easily.
The characters look like shit
I don't know why they thought they could build a shooter audience out of pandering to the diversity crowd
Helldivers was a smash success by doing the exact opposite, even if it was tongue in cheek
Hopefully a lesson learned when it bombs

They still have that eye in Shuhei Yoshida who is securing 3rd party exclusives thats hard carrying the PS5 like Stellar Blade. It's just their 1st party is a joke, Jim and Hermen have no idea what they're doing and bought this garbage studio before they released a doa game.
Yeah very talented at making duds
I don't see what commerical success have to do with talent which the studio clearly has in abundanceYeah very talented at making duds
if they had real talent then the game would be commercially successful
like Fortnite or CoD
If they’re really that talented then when the game launches the proof is in the pudding when players stick around day after day.
Can’t say the beta did the game any favors. Probably sold the game to a few on the fence but it seems … that’s not much.
It’ll be interesting to see how Sony will address this. They’re gonna need to do their best to have as many users as possible for launch for better quality matchmaking. If they’re willing invest in the marketing budget I guess.
If I were making bets tho… I’d bet against it.

You sound so stupid...if they had real talent then the game would be commercially successful
Funnier considering Fortnite first launched as a complete failure or a fortress building pve zombie horde shooter at full retail price as a PlayStation console exclusive.
