Concord Needs a Little Charisma - Delayed Input with Kyle Bosman

I think the opening act for PlayStation's newest State of Play fell short of the big impression Sony was hoping for.

[@MysteriousMrL]

It's probably the least of its problems but I thought it was weird that the title of the game is Concord and not Free Gunners. They kept saying Free Gunners during the gameplay part and I think it's a bit catchier sounding than Concord. The title and logo they're going with would look more at home on a slide showing development tools like Blender and Unreal Engine than it does alongside other games.

[@francodeassis4320]

WOW hadn’t thought that way but yeah Free Gunners rolls out of the tongue easily

theres kind of a ring to it, but Free Gunners would be implied that the game is free to play, right?

@Burbin7995 we don't know that. Everything you just said is exactly what people were saying about Helldivers before it released. It's easy to talk shit when you haven't played it and make assumptions based on other games, but it's too early to tell. You literally have no idea to be claiming it will be trash. 🙄

@RoboGuy2K nah, Concord ain't my kind of game. But acting like we know what games will and won't be successful is kinda silly. Biggest games of the year are Helldivers 2 and Palworld. No one saw that shit coming. No one thought an Avengers game would bomb. The market is random and unpredictable lol.

I’m still shocked that they spent so much time in Concord in the middle of a State of Play. I think it would’ve performed much better in its own reveal presentation.

I feel like I'm in a time loop. Like, haven't we been here before?

Didn't the exact same thing happen ten years ago or so? i feel like I'm in a time loop.

[@acuity1980]

It's not just you. I believe you might be thinking of PUPG and the plethora of battle royal wannabes that followed.

[@justincolgan1833]

​@@acuity1980no no, you're getting your corporate bs time loops mixed up. The one you reference was finally broken by Fortnite's unwavering dominance. Many clones were made but they died and one remains. The hero shooter had its own loop with Overwatch with prompting Battleborn, Lawbreakers, etc etc and they all died with own one remaining. The new loop begins because Blizzard then promptly through themselves off the cliff giving rise to a new loop of horseshit clones to try and take the throne.

[@wg7297]

What the hell is going on????

[@mr.selfimprovement3241]

It takes years to makes these games, and so this title (like others) were most likely green-lit as early as 2018. As soon as Sony invested the money back then and put the team together, that was it. Either follow thru or cancel and loose all that money...... they apparently did not feel brave enough to pull a Square Enix and squash deep into development projects over marketability. I would not be surprised if Sony - and even the people involved in making the game - know this turd isn't going to flush, but they are going to grin and eject this thing to a overstated market anyway. It _IS_ Sony after-all.... and you might remember they did something similar with Drawn2Death (David Jaffes' hero-shooter service title). This is like that, or a 2K Battleborn situation all over again: where they decided to release something they had already planned bon day one was not going to be supported. 🤷‍♂

[@justincolgan1833]

@@mr.selfimprovement3241 correctamundo good sir or madam. It's just such a shame because it seems incredibly obvious that in the post Internet age trends change, it seems like, every 10 minutes. All these companies keep following these steps 1. Budget and plan for a game/trend thats popular at the time of planning 2. Take 4+ years to develop 3. ? 4. ? 5. Trend is no longer trendy or completely out of reach to compete in that environment 6. (No) Profit?????? Over and over. Trend followers instead artists and trailblazers.

[@T.0.M]

I really liked the Guardians spirit in the CGI trailer, as I am a fan of Eidos´ GoG game, but I dont see anything of that vibe translating into the 5v5 gameplay unfortunately

[@christopherlyndsay8611]

I mean they should have dynamic voice lines during gameplay to a higher extent than Apex, which could work well if they’re actually smart

[@hododod246]

Helldivers have its own identity. I am not into multiplayer games at all but I don't think there is any other multiplayer shooter like helldivers. That's why people liked it. But Concord really looks like generic Overwatch clone that tries to mimic same success with same formula. I don't think it will be as big as helldivers.

[@maynardburger]

I think we should be real that while Helldivers 2 is a good game, it also got something of an unpredictable fad-based boost that it didn't necessarily earn through complete merit, either. And this is a huge problem for these live service games - it's not all some meritocracy, and there's not always a lot to learn about other successes because they didn't reach the mega success status simply because of the amazing things it was doing, but because it simply was in the right place in the right time to turn into a fad.

[@AliG4life]

I don't really see the difference, Helldivers looks just as generic to me

[@suplextrain]

Helldivers 2 benefitted from reduced price and a LOT of luck with the timing of the release. Helldivers is incredibly generic, with the only personality it has ripped from Starship Troopers.

[@Omnicloudx13]

Showing two overwatch clones in the same showcase was a mistake.

[@rtuumm]

the CGI trailer made it seem Concord was Guardians of the Galaxy crossed with Cyber Punk 2077.... only for it to be an arena Shooter multiplayer only Overwatch clone

[@maynardburger]

I'll never get that. "This is just a multiplayer game, but imagine if all these characters were doing all this fun and interesting stuff outside the game!" "Can I see that?" "No, just imagine". I guess Concord is trying to somewhat address this with the weekly crunch-enabled cinematics planned, but it's still mostly the same thing. Without like a movie or a show or an actual story mode or something, I dont really understand how people actually get invested into these characters beyond their gameplay impact.

[@jean-alexandrethibault3892]

Concord is going to be a full price release? .... Hmmm

[@1992Rainbowdog]

Honestly when the CGI announcement trailer for concord came I was envisioning a multiplayer similar to the og battlefront 2. On the ground combat, jumping in a spaceship, dogfights and going to space in the same match. Now it looks like the spaceship will only be used for cutscenes, WHAT?!

[@zenithquasar9623]

To answer your question, yes Hungry Jack's is Burger King of Australia. You're welcome, Kyle!

[@Valoric]

IMO if Concord isn’t free to play, it’s DOA.

[@suplextrain]

It's DOA even if it is. It could've gotten away with the bland gameplay if the characters had great designs and charisma, or vice versa. But both? Why would people ever play this over Overwatch 2, Apex, Valorant or even Paladins?

god Kyle I am so with you about Concord. for reference, Destiny 2 does do a “weekly vignette” like thing, the first seven weeks of every destiny season has a story “part” that is serial and continues week to week, so I feel like it is kind of similar to that. Obviously, not CG, sometimes we get in game cutscenes, usually it’s just you’re there in an area and watching characters talk, and then some variation of the seasonal activity between cutscenes. It works, and makes me excited to log into destiny in those first few weeks of a season for the story! Anyway, great episode as always
