Support NeoGAF

[Reckheim]

I'll give it a fair chance.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

The character designs, color palette, overall art direction, music, the movement, the fact that it's another hero shooter - literally everything about this trailer looks like shit.

I mean, yeah - maybe the game is fun and I'd really like it if I actually tried playing it. But it's not, and I won't. Why bother pretending?

 

[semiconscious]

as sony continues coming up with new ways of saying 'farewell, old friend' to me...

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I will pray this bombs harder than Suicide Squad and the Finals just for you inshallah

Prayers are good. Thinking logically and rationally is better.

 

[skit_data]

Can't say the game speaks to me on any level and I expect it to be pretty mediocre but it would be kinda funny if it somehow becomes a unexpected, huge hit.

 

[Griffon]

I'll give it a fair chance.

I wont.

 

[Neon Xenon]

The first showing of Concord did not get me excited at all. Calling the setup "Dollar General Guardians of the Galaxy" would be reductive, but not wrong. I've just had my fill of characters like this. That said, if there's an Open Beta, I'm still willing to give it a shot to see how it plays.

Even then, I'm not exactly optimistic for the game. Given the characters, this being another live-service game, and this seemingly following the hero shooter template that people are openly getting tired of, I think Concord has a steep hill to climb.

It was the moment she found out she got the role in Showgirls

I think they were caffeine pills.

Yeah, it was caffeine pills. I think Adult Swim even aired this episode as a joke once.

 

[Lunarorbit]

I forgot they were charging $40
I would have tried it if it was f2p
Never forget Factions died so we could play concord

 

[//DEVIL//]

preorder ????

it's not free to play ???

 

[lh032]

would be funny if this game is even more successful compared to HD2 long term

 

[yurinka]

Never forget Factions died so we could play concord

Concord is totally unrelated to ND or Factions.

ND decided that Factions died so we could play future single player ND games instead.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I'm worried GAF would have an emotional breakdown if that were the case.

 

[AJUMP23]

DOA.

 

[T-0800]

The storytelling/lore is supposedly the groundbreaking thing within hero shooters, not the gameplay.

Now which of those things is the most important? Hint, it isn't the story.

 

[Arsic]

Isn’t this one of the devs that flat out stated some anti White people shit?

I recall being excited to try it then the devs came out to say some fairly racist shit. I tend to block it out and move it off the radar once that comes out. Unless I’m misremembering.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Now which of those things is the most important? Hint, it isn't the story.

That wasn't the point though.

Gameplay looks very fluid and solid and the more I watch it, the more it looks like Destiny Crucible, which has hands-down the best gunplay of any FPS.
If they nail that, I think a lot of people might change their minds on the game.

Because as you said, it's all about the gameplay, right?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

It's a free beta.

Like I think the game looks average too but I'll still try it.

What do you have to lose for playing a free beta, even if it's just a couple of matches

Can you play it without plus?

 

[TrebleShot]

It's not my thing but I'll give it a crack of the whip.

Valorant crowd will eat this up.

 

[EDMIX]

I'll wait on this.

I'll look up the gameplay and impressions when the beta starts though.

 

[Raven117]

wasn't that the episode she was taking Adderall or something.

Caffeine pills.

They couldn’t go full drug use… ya know… because.

 

[EDMIX]

Caffeine pills.

They couldn’t go full drug use… ya know… because.

I take 200mg myself lol

 

[nowhat]

Time I could be doing something else, like reading GAF.

So you'll be wasting your time either way.

 

[Bojanglez]

Factions died because Sony (or maybe just Naughty Dog) didn't want Naughty Dog being consumed supporting it for 10 years.

 

[Salmonboy]

WHy does it look like a worse Fortnite game?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

WHy does it look like a worse Fortnite game?

Completely different genres.

 

[Red5]

Meh garbage gameplay and ugly characters, easy skip.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

I'm worried GAF would have an emotional breakdown if that were the case.

As if the frail cucks around here weren’t in a constant state of dissolution to begin with.

 

[Varteras]

I resemble that remark!

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Previews gameplay look real good, but I don't see myself paying 40 bucks for it. Looks like a multiplayer mode of a single-player game (like Destiny).

Free-to-play and 1 mode (at the start) would've been the way to go for this.

 

[Varteras]

I think this game will serve as a good gauge for the appetite for another arena-based hero shooter. As well as what people are willing to pay for yet another such experience.

 

[StueyDuck]

Can you play it without plus?

The psn blog only says a psn account and internet is required.

It's also on PC, and PSN usually let's free to play titles avoid requiring ps plus.

So I imagine that, yes you can

 

[T-0800]

I hope it turns out great and is a big success. I don't want to wish failure on anyone. I'll try the beta and hopefully I really enjoy it.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

How is it a open beta if you have to pre order to access it?

 

[T-0800]

Pre order gets you early access to the beta.

 

[DenchDeckard]

This would genuinely be hilarious to see. Or to glance into the alternate reality where this has a chance of happening.

 

[rkofan87]

Was there always suppose to be an open beta for this? I remember when announced there was gonna be a closed beta + 5 codes if you preordered which still looks like is happening, but don't recall an open beta.

Anyway, if I'm not doing much that weekend, I might try it out. It's basically a win win for me. If the game is truly as bad as I think, I probably just laugh as I play it wondering how it got green lit. Or maybe it's actually a solid experience, who the hell knows.

this did i miss it or was is going to be free from the start.

 

[bender]

It's impressive how unappealing the character designs are.

 

[Bernardougf]

as sony continues coming up with new ways of saying 'farewell, old friend' to me...

Post of the generation.

 

[KiteGr]

People are so sick of that DEI woke crap, this is essentially a boycott.

 

[Goalus]

The female character (I am allowing myself to assume their gender) looks a bit too feminine for my taste.

 

[T0minator]

It's interesting how free to play appeals to so many people, but $40 to play doesn't. Paying $40 when everything else after that is free to unlock.

Maxing out at $40 potentially less than a free to play that will continue to ask you to spend an endless amount

I hope they change the outfits of the characters more than just color swap and texture changes

I'm really looking forward to this.
Here is four access codes for PS5 Europe beta:
J9JG-DNP8-AMNJ
NFCH-MXH8-3C7A
9A2J-PG3A-559A
X878-N4N2-GHA9

How'd u get the codes already?

 

[KyoZz]

- Very long TTK
- Ugly as fuck art direction
- Auto AIM which would make a paraplegic unbeatable against a PGM
- Bad sound design/no impact or feeling
- Gender in character select because... well you know why
- A dodge which switches the camera to TPS AND we lose control of our character

And of course you have the usual suspects defending this turd. This will be DOA, and if not, God have mercy for the future of gaming.

I purchased the deluxe version.
I'm actually looking forward to this, it looks really fun.

I took code 1
Code 4 has gone

Not sure on other two

I pre-ordered the game and should get 4 codes as well, but afaik I haven't gotten any codes yet.

 

[anthony2690]

If it wasn't for the guardians of the galaxy knock off characters, I would think I was looking at a map pack for destiny multiplayer

Hopefully those that buy into the game, enjoy it though

This is looking more and more like Redfall.

Finally we have a worthy competitor for that crown.
