'Concord' makes their final pitch...

👉 All my links: linktr.ee/luke... 👈
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Concord is a sci-fi player-versus-player hero shooter video game played from a first-person perspective. The game features a variety of alien characters, each with different abilities such as robot legs for high jumps and diamond skin for enhanced damage absorption. One of the groups within the game is known as the Freegunners, who are mercenaries. Some of the game mechanics include special equipment like healing pads and trip mines, which persist not only between deaths but also across rounds.
Five playable characters unveiled are: Vale, Haymar, Star Child, Lennox, and the robot 1-Off. At launch, the game will feature 16 characters. The game will also have free post-launch updates that will add more characters, maps, vignettes, and more. Every week, the game will feature new vignettes that will show what Concord‘s characters are up to outside of gameplay in the Concord galaxy. The vignettes will tell an ongoing story, with characters receiving their own narrative arcs.

If Sony is so hell bent on live service games, here's a few ideas for them. - Bring back Killzone - Bring back Twisted Metal - Do another PlayStation All-Star Battle Royale game - Put Last of Us Standalone Factions back into development - Tell Arrowhead to get their heads out of their behinds so Helldivers stops nose diving into the ground 5 options, all 5 are infinitely more profitable than Concord.

This game is such a mystery. There have been plenty of almost identical looking flops in the same genre spanning the last 3-4 years, more than enough time to pivot away into some kind of new niche or at least a unique visual style. The publisher and devs all saw Lawbreakers, Hyenas and Allstars Destruction all fail. Instead this game has apparently stuck to its guns the whole way. They think it has a chance, I just don't get it. Sony too have decided that with all the revenue generated from their now well-established niche of high fidelity, polished single-player games, they would invest that into a multitude of failed live services games. They established a speciality they're known for, then immediately chased for the market shared already competed for (and dominated by) 100 other companies. It's madness.

Interesting video Most I've watched is usually full focus on one side but you included the good things that could be used from these games

[@Anon-tj9fd]

If I had to guess why this is being pushed out the door, the answer would be office politics. Everybody already knows this is going to flop, especially Sony; there is no way their execs haven't sat through multiple presentations telling them this is going to flop. IMO Sony is looking to clean house; once this bombs, they can use that as the reason to drop most of their 12(?) live service games currently in development, do massive layoffs like other companies, and close studios.

[@Scuffedduck117]

Thank god

[@SpottedHares]

We heard from the first round of Bungie Layoffs that Sony wasn’t interested in Marathon and wanted Bungie to focus of Destiny. With so many canceled, Sony no effort with marketing Helldivers 2 and no shit given with arrowhead nerfing that game into the dumpster. I legitimately think Sony will only put out the live service games they think are too far along in development to cancel.

I think if they had pivoted to a co-op campaign shooter with multiplayer modes they would have actually gotten more people interested.

[@omarsabeur9039]

Yeah , for me I always find it weird when you are fighting the same character you picked on the opposite team, like in apex or w/e , I prefer these hero style games to be co-op .

After Sony decided to make Helldivers and Tsushima unplayable to a lot of countries (mine included), I have decided to never buy a Sony product again. This led me to acquire Tsushima for free on PC. Even if it's F2P, I ain't gonna even bother. My phone and camera is Sony but after that ban, I sold both of them. Never touching a Sony product again.

2 Seasons planned tells me two things They have no confidence in the game They have TOO MUCH confidence in the game ETA: That black woman with the goggles and the hair buns. OOF. Her face reminds me of Bask Om from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, only way less interesting, uglier, and somehow more villainous looking. That creature is somehow a hero.

[@MakChris84]

😁 im proud of us we finally wakin up

[@MusingsMuses]

I really do think the problem is a lot of companies really don't get that the market is SATURATED. Everyone that likes hero shooters is currently playing a hero shooter. Gamers shouldn't say "Oh it's Overwatch but X" cuz you don't know is something will click and be good but DEVELOPERS need to say "Will this be able to pull people from Overwatch or Destiny 2?" instead of pretending there's a whole world of people that just haven't found their niche game yet.

[@funkyflunky9882]

I think this is the trick. The reason a game like Mecha Break is able to get decent numbers is that there is no current equivalent. Nobody else had the guts to say “6v6 mecha PvP game” and follow through with that gamble. I personally don’t think Mecha Break has the chops to be a massive super success that will last years, but it will be profitable for the company and fun for gamers for a few months. But aiming for an underserved niche market will get them some business.

[@MyEvilTaco]

I played Mechabreak, that beta had me thinking of the game when I wasn’t even playing. The gameplay was exiting, pilot completely customizable and the mechs looked and played so great. As for Concord I wouldn’t bother playing for free.

[@FranklySean]

It's a shame that a reasonable monitization model is attached to such a bad game. It will fail, and evil corpos will forever point at it and say "See, we must use exploitative pricing models, you won't buy it otherwise"

[@SpottedHares]

Kind of like Halo Infite, because it did so poorly no one thinks “maybe the battle pass the customer bought should be their forever and to complete at their pace”.

Is it shocking? $40 no fomo or battlepass, I’ll take it. Game knows its not gonna be everyone’s main mp game but a change of pace from fortnite, apex and warzone. Its gonna be my second game after apex. Loved the beta and how its more weapon leaning than ability compared to overwatch and marvel rivals.

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

I can see some Halo and Destiny players gravitating towards this game, the classic multiplayer experience of old, you pay the entry price and that's it... but it will be a very small fraction of players, this game will either force free to play or enter on maintenance mode in 6 months tops

Even though these games aren't making them that much money right now or ever, they still refuse to just bite the bullet and make them free.

​@@coltonwilkie241True they can be stubborn but also super impatient if money is not flowing in fast enough. Lately a lot of "triple A" publishers do not let games grow naturally. They just want fast growth as fast as possible.
