Honestly, there's few good ps shooters if you're sick of ow and cod. Concord mechanically was solid for the 10 hours I got to play it. Now as a hero shooter? The maps weren't great and the character design wasn't as immediately recognizable or iconic as a hero based game needs to be. Deadlock as much as it's a better game has the same problem. Point is, I wanted it back. If it wasn't for the design push back being a pretty much unfixable problem it probably wouldve been brought back

There's a fundamental problem with trying to make the next anything. Games like Minecraft, Fortnite, and CoD happen because someone funded creativity and took a risk. Low risk, low reward definitely applies here. Basically every single game that's ever become a franchise came out of thin air. Very few things that are obviously inspired by something bigger capture that lightning because you have to be the first to do something to be huge on that level. Horizon Zero dawn did well as a new IP because it had a compelling story and world, but it never exploded because the gameplay was played pretty safe.

If the untalented people behind Concord were to get jobs they'd most likely be shoehorned by Sony into other companies that don't want them. Though I would not be surprised if there were plenty of actually talented individuals who were simply stuck making an awful game. I've heard of many developers who said they knew what they're making was horrible, but they just had to view it as a job. I'd feel bad for them having Concord on their resume.

My Question is how do you spend 8 years on a PVP hero shooter? Like, I feel like Concord should have had 2 to 3 years of development tops and less than a quarter of the budget that it was given. Maybe a 40 to 50 million dollar budget at the most.

Blizzard started working on Titan in 2007, gave up on 2013, and Titan became Overwatch which released in 2016. If they hadn't changed course, you'd be wondering how Blizzard released such a failure after even more dev time.

I'm so curious what Sony's "lessons learned" are. As an engineer and PM, I have sat-in on some of these meetings when projects go south (though, nothing at this scale), the dust is settled, and management is like, "what did we do wrong?" You would sometimes be amazed how management will learn all the wrong lessons from a project going wrong. Sometimes, voices of reason will prevail. Sometimes, the hammer blows of reality will force even the most incompetent manager to see what's going on. But sometimes, you have such bad management, that they cannot learn from the project's failure. They don't get it. If they _could_ learn from their mistakes then, well, then we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with.

at around 15:00 you hit the nail right on the head. I still remember exactly how I felt when the game was being shoved down our throats for 30 minutes during a state of play. This was an obvious tick every corporate box cash grab game they clearly thought enough "dumb" gamers would just eat up. It was the whole "don't think and just consume product." I get that there are folks that think this game failed for other various reasons, but the core of the issue is that gamers are sick and tired of games being obvious money sucking machines at the expense of passion and creative freedom.

You need, you need, you NEED a good gameplay foundation for your GAME. That should be the first thing planned out. Marvel Rivals was met with groans when it was first announced as live service too, but once it got into the publics hands in a test, people saw it was more than a Marvel IP Overwatch clone, and could stand on its own. And this came around the same time of Concords public test. Batmarn Arkham Shadow was met with angst once people found out it was a meta exclusive, VR only game. But then the people who actually got to play it, sung its praise. And those who didnt get to play, but saw the story online, loved it. Then you find out the studio hired and flew out a bunch of comic book and Batman Arkham fans/content creators to be consultants on the game, who were even named in the credits. So its no wonder the game turned out great, and true to the source. A game should still be a good game, first and foremost. Whether its live service or whatever. These companies keep trying to work on the service and what they can sell you on first, and work on what the actual gameplay is later.
