Support NeoGAF

How can you even be this much of a pathetic fanboy who does nothing but damage control for Sony?

Concord looks like shit and I've thought that ever since the May SoP? You're still delusional if you believe one or two live service flops are enough to get anyone (this person in particular that has perpetually mindbroken you) fired, when there were still a bunch of other successful projects under his tenure. As I already said, pure delusion.
Also, listing GOOD games = damage control, holy shit, deep into miserable internet culture where absolutely nothing can ever be a positive thing.

If Sony were smart then they would have at least thrown this on PS+ day one, not that it would have made any difference long term though.

Didn't help destruction all-stars or Foamstars.

Someone at SIE is going to take a massive internal hit for this game. It's not great but it looks and sounds expensive.

I agree it wouldnt help overall. But I dont think it would even be possible to add it to PS+ day one.

They already set it up with disc sales at stores and digital preorders. So unless they cancelled all preorders and made amends with retailers saying it'll suddenly be on sub plan killing disc sales, i dont see how they could do it.

But after 3 or 6 months I can see it. They'll probably do a last gasp PS+ download in December hoping for a Xmas spike.

Officially the worst reviewed PlayStation first party game this generation.

 

[MiguelItUp]

100-200M? Where is the evidence of this? That's just a wild ass guess. I am doubtful, given the studio has ZERO proven IP.

Excuse me, he says...

"According to some sources they may have paid in the realm of $200 - $300 million."

His source is his ass the guy is a YouTube basement dweller he has no sources

Just feels like a random thing to just throw out there, not like everyone is chasing to know how much they paid. I'm sure in due time the actual amount will be public.

But, regardless, it doesn't matter how much they paid, it was clearly not worth the money.

Thankfully in a couple weeks Astrobot will offset the average score and stop a curse from forming. Still heads need to roll at Sony HQ.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

This game didn't stand a chance. Colossal failure.

Good. Fair games will be next.

Indeed, several heads need to roll at PlayStation.

If Sony was reading NeoGAF they d know that going woke is going broke.
Also, their culture is NOT live service games. With the exception of Helldivers their track record is terrible

Apparently that didn’t effect Spider Man 2.

 

[Damigos]

Apparently that didn’t effect Spider Man 2.

First, its not as much as Concord is.
Second its not a live service hero shooter
Third its a huge established ip where its predecessor sold millions

 

[Bartski]

Yikes y’all

Game is at 343 CCU on Steam.

I think it’s time to call it. Concord won’t pass 700 CCU.

[darth.shrimp]

Wait, the LGBT+ tag was removed from Steam? Since tags are user-defined, can the devs even do that?! If so that's some damage control they're trying...

 

[ozz ex machina]

I genuinely assumed this game was f2p...what the fuck were sony thinking charging 35 up front for this? Do they understand the market at all?

I was really disappointed when sony pivoted away from multiplayer entirely (tlou 1 and killzone 2/3 last notable multiplayer modes in their games?) but it's clear now they don't have the talent or understanding to make anything good anymore anyway.

I really wish we had stats on PlayStation, the way we have on Steam.

If this was f2p I would actually have tried it out.

James Sawyer Ford still fighting the good fight.

99% of your posts is you responding to other posters because you're butthurt about something they said about Sony. Now that's miserable internet culture if you ask me. Go fight someone other and stop bothering me you goddamn moron.

No Concord in the top 100

Edit: hmm, seems this is only counts folks who have signed on the site so not really a good source. Oh well

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Apparently that didn’t effect Spider Man 2.

Not the best comparison. Suicide Squad is the paradigm of turning something profitable into shit due to wokeness alone.

Valorant, Fortnite...maybe. But how anyone could like at Apex and Overwatch and say they are generic is beyond me.

If you look at Fortnite and think generic then a game like Overwatch 2 is even more generic than it.

 

[BlackTron]

SM2 was SM1 with a heavy DEI infusion. You wouldn't know until you are already playing the game and swinging around as Spider-Man.

Concord made DEI its entire identity. It's right on the box.

Edit: To see real effect of Spider-Man 2, wait for a third game. Even if they remove DEI entirely, people might remember their experience and feel like SM is getting played out anyway. I'm not talking about people who read up deep on games before buying, I mean normal people who just go and buy a game to play with maybe a look at mainstream reviews.

Exactly.

Star Wars it's also one of the most successful brands in the world, and not even that saved "The Acolyte" from becoming a huge commercial flop...
Fans can only endure the insults and mocking from people who clearly disdain the fanbase until a certain point. If you keep biting the hand that gives you food, you will end up being slapped.

Overwatch is generic in the way that LOTR is generic.

Of course it is, it wrote the book on this shit.

Mind you I have only actually been in Overwatch 2 a few times and I'm sure the art direction of new characters I don't even know exist plummeted, but it was almost the exact same game as 1 down to the maps I was getting.

This is the Poochy of video games. Nowhere near proactive enough.

Make it free to play and refund everyone now. Give the game a shot otherwise it’ll be dead in a year.

 

[Draugoth]

Concord:

• 8 Years of development, started over a couple times
• Over 200 Developers working on it
• 100-200$ million dollars budget
• 700 players at launch
• Around 50k copies sold

Wukong:

• 4 Years of Active Development
• 30 Employees (expanded to 130)
• 30-50$ million Budget
• 3 million players at launch
• Over 10 million copies sold

Refunds? Sony?

I guess they did refund Cyberpunk though so.....possible, but painful.

Going F2P wont save it, the beta numbers show people are not interested in the game.

They would have to go for a marketing stunt and turn every character into a hot chick.

It's why I'm not touching another insomniac game until deep into the games life to see what shit rears it's head.

And I was one who bought their games day 1 since spyro (except fuse)

Also SM2 would have sold well on release as it wasn't well known until later how woke the game was, i only found out a few weeks after release, i don't have a PS5 but bought SM1 and MM for PC and for sure wont be picking up SM2

Well yes exactly, that's what I mean by you wouldn't know unless you were already swinging around.

Really hoping that this continues to hammer home to Sony that epic, single player games is where PlayStation excels.

Yes, they take a fucking long time to develop, but they all tend to be absolute bangers, and often end up as system sellers.

 

[FunkMiller]

Wouldn't help.

This is a hero shooter where nobody wants to play any of the characters.

You could pay people to play it, and it's still dead.

If this game surpasses 2k concurrent users I’ll eat your cum.

He is giving up

Oh and its a colossal failure

 

[lmimmfn]

Buying the game to give a negative review and refunding

 

[StreetsofBeige]

StreetsofBeige unlucky lad. I’ll get you next time.

LOL. I was totally off with my 2000+ count. I thought the weekend would bring a big player boost as that happens to every game. Turns out the game so far at Saturday at lunch time, the Steam count is already going down vs yesterday.

Youre a lucky guy. I loaded up on garlic, hot sauce and onions yesterday. You would had guzzled one smelly gooper.

 

[Stuart360]

I mean barely anyone has bought the game, literally, so maybe they should refund everyone then go F2P. Not that it would do much difference to be honest, maybe double the playerbase.

My original comments aren’t in conflict

The game isn’t flopping because it’s mechanically busted like games you Stan for and have failed
