And guess what redfall is still available and Concord is not going to be available at all you can't even play the game no single player attached to it nothing they can't even put in like AI bots in the game lol nope sorry you will never play this game ever again lol 🤣

[@liuwess8012]

They cancelled fractions for this crap is the worst thing about this whole situation. Bungie is steadily bankrupting Sony with bad decisions, and Sony is suffering for it, because for some reason they can't say No to bungie. You think Sony was smarter enough to realize that live service games has become stagnant , but they're too disconnected from what gamers really want it seems

[@francistein8409]

why blame bungie? xD blame jim ryan

[@TranscendingPolygons]

Again… Factions 2 was cancelled 🤯

[@DylanKosher]

Concord failing horrendously is 100% karma for canceling The Last of Us Online. I will NEVER forgive them for that.

[@Gamer_Live_Studio]

Wow now you're actually speaking my language and you know exactly how I feel back on the PlayStation 2 when they cancel the getaway 3 the next game from London studio after they shut down not that long ago... Got them doing dumb s*** like VR... That's why I stopped supporting PlayStation altogether.

[@Gamer_Live_Studio]

That's why I will never forgive Sony for what they did to London studios and for canceling that game was an absolute tragedy I will never forgive them for that at all.

[@2Horrible]

Sony buys the studio, spends 8 years development, 100 million + budget. Only 25000$ copies bought, cancels the game after 2 weeks and shuts down servers. How about a brand new factions game with an established fan base from a hit ip with the some of the best shooting and stealth gameplay that's new and original. Nah how bout an overwatch clone, also bungie gotta say, it ain't a good idea. The same studio that lays off half their workforce, stops production on new destiny expansions and who's ceo spends millions on model cars.

[@TheFlame234]

That $100 million was never confirmed, where the fuck are y'all getting that from? Also, Sony wasn't the one who shut down Factions 2. That was Naughty Dogs choice.

[@StarTraffic-z1o]

About 200 million spent over 8 years, including advertising and buying support from Gaming media and influencers. Parris and Destin got money from Sony.

[@2Horrible]

@@StarTraffic-z1o even worse💀

[@McGettrick40]

What closed quicker The Day Before or Concord ? 😂 Sony is like time to claim some losses on our taxes.

[@N7Null]

The evidence that Sony can't come up with a relevant MP just continues to mount. Saddest part is that now we'll never a Concord HBO series or film.

[@JonBlack413]

Helldivers 2 has already proven you wrong.

[@N7Null]

@@JonBlack413 Helldivers 2 is the outlier and the success it saw in spite of Sony's lack of marketing and attention is even more of an indictment on the fact that Sony can't distinguish between a good or bad multiplayer. This has been true going all the way back to the original PS1.

[@JonBlack413]

@@N7Null PlayStation also owns Gran Turismo and Destiny. Both very successful live service games.

[@N7Null]

@@JonBlack413 Destiny is currently so successful that they apparently can't stop laying people off. I'm not going to blame Sony for those layoffs just like I won't give Sony credit for Destiny's success given that they probably have nothing to do with either. Bungie is why you're getting Concord and Fairgames instead of Factions 2. I don't even know why you mentioned GT7 when it has the lowest user score of all of them precisely due to the live service nonsense Sony and PD added to the game.

[@tbecket4890]

………….where da fuq is Factions?

[@rafterman5072]

Hell, I am willing to take the job. Sony, hire me, I would have saved you 200 million dollars.

[@DragonBallG69]

Just a reminder Sony chose this shit over Factions 2

[@themarcshark]

21:37 The reason why Concord came out is because they had a bunch of Parris Lillys testing out the game and giving feedback. Talkin bout "it may not be for me but the developers are super talented"

[@Moondust94]

I can't remember the last time a game flopped this badly.

[@armymen4]

At this point they should just bring back Factions 2, and stick Firesprite on support and upkeep of it, to make their money back from this game.

[@Daybr3ak1991]

And here i thought the Day before was bad!!😂 they need to fuckin bring Killzone man

[@SoraFan23]

[@Gamer_Live_Studio]

Can we all agree from this point forward can we stop talking about Xbox bad, Xbox Doom and gloom, Xbox blah blah blah... It's time to focus on PlayStation garbage games that is absolutely dry af... They need to get their s*** together and get these IPS and start having them to work and crank them b****** out across all platforms so they can start making money again because this is absolutely ridiculous stop blaming Xbox for the problem is time for PlayStation to own up to their responsibility and delivering games for gamers in the specialty for the PlayStation fan base... People are fed up and they're ready to sell their PlayStation 5 to get a PC at this point and I truly believe this is the last console generation there is no PlayStation 6...

[@613TRAPSTAR]

That's diabolical to own IP's like Killzone, Resistance and Socom, you put out Concord. Thats crazy work.

PlayStation has gone down the toilet

[@caldweab]

Xbox keeps games alive that have potential. Imagine if they shut Sea of Thieves down after the initial disastrous launch. Sea of Thieves is one of the most successful live service games in the industry. But then again SoT goes to your point of there being nothing like it on the market.

[@Omnicloudx13]

It truly was GRAND OPENING GRAND CLOSING. 8 years development time and money for this turd of a game. Factions 2 died for this and Studio Japan was shut down for less than this garbage ass game. Biggest gaming flop of ALL TIME.

[@justprincetv9299]

All live service games need to shut down by sony cancel them all

[@onlywiigame.]

[@SAiNT_Ryan25]

10:08 Costing money wasn't a problem? Why would I drop $40 to play mid when I could boot up Overwatch 2, Marvel Rivals, Halo or Paladins free and for a better experience? When all of your contemporaries are arguably superior and free how are you supposed to compete in that market as an unproven title with a $40 pricetag? It's insane how out of touch Sony was with this game. BG is spitting though because imagine if we got a faithful continuation to Killzone or Resistance instead of this midgrade?

[@BrokenGamezHDR]

Because if you remove those games you probably still wouldnt play this free or paid because its bad.

It’s not just that bathing in hate is what brings you pleasure and monetisation of a particular brand you’ve cultivated. It’s the corollary of that too - you’re never more boring than when you’re talking about things you actually enjoy. And you know that. You bore yourself when, however briefly, you try to do it. “That’s fire,” and then you’ll quickly move on to something you despise. You just suck at liking things.

PlayStation should be embarrassed that they published Concord. What did they see in the product? Almost any multiplayer series from the PS3 era would have been better to revive (and probably cheaper) than make Concord.
