Concord is the next big live service from Sony, but given how little buzz there is for it, given how unfinished some core aspects feel and given how high that $40 buy-in is, Concord feels like its sleep walking into its fate as the next live service cautionary tale.

I still don't understand why they're going so heavy on story in a live service game that will inevitably die, meaning all their work will disappear for those who care; and for those who don't, they'll just scream at the one person who wants to watch a cutscene until they vote to skip it. If you're so focused on story, then just make some, any kind of single player offline mode. It could just be a botmatch with cutscenes even, at least it would give the story some kind of lasting impact or legacy.

It's vehemently depressing. But I guess you can always just download the cutscenes off KZfaq.

It might be petty but something that bugged the hell out of me was the characters having their little quip and pose every time you respawn. I was playing the chick in the hazmat suit one map and having to keep hearing “hear comes to expert *tap tap*” as I kept dying while trying to learn the mechanics was so aggravating. Even my wife who was just hanging out in the room reading was getting annoyed hearing the same barks over and over. It’s a little thing that just wore me down

There is a small possibility that they have built a pipeline that allows them to produce those cutscenes (is just people talking into a room) for cheap. Like they build a system similar to what epic showed of Unreal using a iPhone camera to record the performance of a actor and them in minutes the engine translate that to a meta human character. If they didn't do something like that, there is really no way they can keep it up.

"Story-based 5v5 multiplayer hero shooter" sounds exactly like a word soup combo that only "market analysts" could come up with. You know, the people that think Game Design means "How the characters look". So from the get-go it reeks of being mandated by the upper management, not from some actual idea or passion.

Yea, you can't help but feel bad for the developers. Either this was their idea and they were genuinely excited about it, only to be met with complete indifference. Or they were forced to build this and are now watching everything they warned their publisher would happen unfold. In either case I can't imagine the studio is feeling good right now. And with how the industry is, if the game underperforms, it's entirely possible we're talking about the studio getting shut down this time next year.

So a talking raccoon and space tree are goofy concepts and massive risk for a blockbuster movie. Marvel does it all the time. Marvel Snap HEAVILY features America Chavez, a nobody character, because she was coming in Dr Strange. MvC had Capt Marvel before her movie, Dr Strange and Dormamu were in MvC3 before his movie. I agree pre mcu Drax being a brilliant savage tactician is better than the movie version.

"Game about to ship when it's not ready to do so really helps you understand why another game that was 'basically ready to ship' was cancelled" I'm sorry but that is just silly. I'm not saying Hyenas would've succeeded or anything like that necessarily, but one game targeted at a similar market releasing too early in its development doesn't say a thing about another game that didn't end up getting released at all. Maybe Hyenas was Overwatch (1) and it was absolutely ready and polished to excellency but SEGA decided to can it regardless. Most likely not, but it could've been.

Have a nice single player campaign with 13 or so missions, let you play as different members of the crew from mission to mission, give unique and interesting squad commands based on which crew members are currently assigned to your squad, that would have been cool and I probably would have bought it.

Which SHOULD mean there is no real reason for pharmaceutical companies to advertise when locked behind a doctors decision, BUT they own the doctors now so that’s why it’s so important Otherwise it makes no sense to advertise to people who cannot buy your product on their own Hes right about the pre order and all of the other stuff

I seriously doubt this game would survive even a single year if it was free to play, let alone with a $40 entry fee. This is going to be DOA.

Very interested in seeing how this game will perform against the upcoming Marvel Rivals. Both are new hero shooters, but Rivals seems like it will be free to play and will feature characters people already like. Don't see how Concord stands a chance against that, not to mention other multiplayer games that already exist.

I can't wait for Concord's weekly still-frame cutscenes (because they won't stay full-motion for long), in which I get to learn which neo-pronouns the "undecided" mushroom mutant picks for zerself or if "Blueberry" Daw is going to finally hook up with the they/them robot monster (oh, sorry. The robot monster is a he/him. My bad! Didn't mean to be insensitive. 😛 ). Guffaw. Oh, Sony. You drank too deep from the DEI pool. I wouldn't play Concord for free, let alone for $39.99. Edit addition: only part of Concord that interested me in this whole video was waiting to see if Austin would play along with the neo-pronouns. And... yeah, he did. *shrug* Guffaw. That Sony access ain't gonna maintain itself, right? Such a weird preview, truth be told. You note the lack of buzz or interest, but leave it there. There's an elephant in the room, but you don't dare acknowledge it. The mainstream market has NO interest in Blueberry Daw or the like. This was a game made for Blackrock, and it shows. Should have come out two years ago when this stuff was at its peak, not now at the tail end of lunacy.

Okay so you're essentially having a select your buffs convoluted behind a "class variant". This could be so cool and dramatic. Like you pick your heroes and your set of bufs(lets make them crystal shards) after each won round, your used shard breaks with a nice dramatic animation. You pick your next shard (and optional class) for the next round. As you strive for that victory, your tools twindle and things get more intense. Oh and less convoluted to explain, too. And if it's about restricting buffs, you could restrict the buff shards to roles so you can play those shards with specific classes only. You grind for new shard variants to expand your selection as you progress. Wouldn't that be fund? Oh, and did I mention.....LESS CONVOLUTED!

@@kunimitsune177 Except for the fact people have been using the term 'millennial writing' for a while now. And whilst I'm not an avid comic book fan or anything, that is absolutely not what comic books are like. It may be how Marvel adapted them, but the comics I've read were not trying to be quirky, or lean on 'ironic comedy' so much.

Two things that I’ll speak into the void: 1) this game is very fun to play. The shooting is incredibly tight. The character kits allow for varied play styles and team synergies and abilities and their usage make them have purpose as opposed to just spamming them endlessly. Oh your abilities ran out of slot uses? Better get back in the action and get some kills to get some back. As someone who has played a lot of overwatch and destiny, this is a game that would pull off of overwatch (I’m never leaving destiny). 2) if Sony is married to the idea that they have to sell this game, they should at the very least make it free on PS+ for the first month to boost those initial numbers up risk free so word of mouth can spread afterwards

Yikes, that means peak concurrent player count for Concord's beta was less than half that of Age of Mythology: Retold's beta over the same weekend, which is, very affectionately, a niche RTS that only nerds like myself have the premium edition preordered for. Not boding well for Concord's launch next month then, gameplay aside.

@@chettlar212 True, but AoM:Retold was also a paid beta, and that's the (admittedly beloved) spin-off of a decades old RTS series, and it still got almost triple the numbers Concord did. However you spin it, only a thousand interested parties on PC (maybe less if you account for the 5 keys per pre-order) is and should be pretty worrying for the developer/publisher of such a high-budget game.
