1 Year ago today concord was shut down.
>>720018582
It's legacy lives on however
>>720018582At least they made something unforgettable.
In a way, it did become a legendary and historical game, just for the wrong reasons.
>>720018582>1 year agoWhy is time going too fast?
>>720019219I think it's one of the biggest flops in entertainment history. 400 million dollars down the drain is wild and it was envisioned to be the next Star Wars by Sony's CEO
>>720018582Its really been a year? Shit that means we're almost 3 years since Starfield flopped.
>>720019345Even if it didn't cost 400 million dollars, it still will be the biggest flop solely because of Sony's ambitions on it.And I don't know how so many people looked at this game, the characters, the design, and the dialogue and think it has any potential.
>>720019541Positive feedback loop, echo chambers, etcCommon killer
>>720018582I miss it
>>720018582Good. And don't hire devs like Jon Weisnewski that literally hates gamers except for his selfish "gaymers".
>>720018582The fuck is a "freegunner"?
>>720019642>how do you do fellow white people
>>720019657it's a made up future slang word they made for the game
>>720019642>we>we'reI've always found it fascinating how jews are selectively white depending on the conversation.
>>720019238Because you're on the wrong side if the time cube.
>>720019603Within Firewalk, sure, but how Sony did the same is astounding.
>>720019642I remember learning about this in 2014 when gamergate happened and I thought it was just some dumb tumblr shit that would never go anywhere....
>>720019657"mercenary" has negative connotations to it, so they came up with a new name. might also have to do with the word mercenary being trademarked.
>>720018582>game is so soulless it becomes soulfulIs concord the only example of this?
>>720019873Shooting people in the face also has negative connotations but that didn't stop them from developing an fps
>>720019642>(((Weisnewski)))
>>720019719most jews are white, that doesnt mean all jews are white
>>720018582Wow, I can't believe it's already been an entire year (AKA 36.5 Concord Lifetimes). How time flies.
>>720020128Which jews are white, and how do we tell?
>>720018582>Concord could have been the best fps in this decade>instead people hated it because muh woke game and bought crap like helldivers2this is why videogames can't leave it's teenager phase
>>720020375Here's a pity (you).Try harder next time.
>>720020375>Concord could have been the best fps in this decadeIt had no chance and it's precisely because it's woke.For instance>Lead gameplay designer HATED guns and was finding futuristic guns just BARELY okIs this someone that can make satisfying gunplay? FUCK NO. Why the hell did they hire someone that hates guns to make an FPS?
What in the actual fuck even this shit, it doesn't even look fun in the trailers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zef48--oSnU
>>720020697>Why the hell did they hire someone that hates [thing] to make [thing]?dunno, but it just keeps happening microsoft did that with halo and now it's a dead franchise
>>720020836oof
>>720019345I feel as if this needs to be studied alongside people on social media gaslighting Sony into thinking everyone wanted to see Morbius but were just to busy so they re-released it for another flop. Why are they so disconnected? Its legendary.
>>720020375True and based postThe world wasn't ready for it unironically
>>720021024>create 343i and fill it with developers who specifically hate HaloCorporate executives have more money than brains.
>>720018582Actually, it's been 10 years since Concord shut down.
>>720018582This day changed the US 2024 election
>>720021330It's genuinely disturbing to me thinking now that eventually I'll reach a point where I'll be alive longer post-Concord than I was when it came out.
>>720018582A minute of silence for those who bought.
>>720021740AYOHOL UP
>>720020375it was such a bad game that by the time it died no-one even cared that it was woke anymore
>>720021741To avoid a lawsuit, Sony issued refunds for all copies, physical and digital regardless of play time. They also issued a no-sale warning to all vidya stores still selling to stop selling copies. All in the span of 12 days. Their ads and promos were still running despite the game already have been taken off the market due to marketing contracts.
>>720021740>>720021756even the CONCEPT ART is atrocious. usually concept art has some of the coolest stuff because it's meant to get an idea and direction down, but holy god, this is visual vomit. it either stands out like the smell of a corpse or blends into the background white paint on snow
>>720019770people don't realize just how completely captured from top to bottom these companies are by woke ideology. They're massive hugboxes that don't allow any wrongthink or constructive criticism because EVERYTHING has to be political in some form or fashion. You can't just make a game "normally" anymore
>>720021740>>720021756>>720021891It's like Bleeding Edge but worse. Sloppunk aesthetics.
>>720021740>>720021756>>720021891Not a single good design so far. This game really was just fucked from the getgo.
>>720021756Do they actually had whitish man in the works (on the left)
>>720021740>>720021756>>720021891it really looks like they just put completely random arbitrary components and colors onto the costume with no consideration for color theory or overall design. Like, busy designs with lots of details and bright colors CAN work and look good, but you're supposed to actually have a cohesive design, not just just throw a bunch of random shit
>>720021950Who the fuck convinced all the game Devs that gamers want this shitty faux punk aesthetic?It was everywhere and it flopped every timeHyenasBleeding edgeRage 2There was much more but because all these games flopped I can't remember now
>$400m clown characters>vs indie game soulwhich way?
https://alifewellwasted.com/Some of the developers are interviewed in episode 9. They genuinely thought they made great product but people ignored it or hated for no reason.
>>720022152The people who are in charge of hiring the lead artists are suites that know nothing about art
>>720022196>$85 posterHoly fuck!I know the main point is just to support the podcast or whatever this shit is and what you get doesn't matter but at least make it something better than a fucking poster!
>>720022152Consultants like Sweet Baby Inc telling studios that gamers want diversity.
>>720022231the dude on the hovercraft with fuzzy slippers and tesla cannon would be sick as a racer in Twisted Metal
>>720021094i get that most people here lack the understanding of society on a systemic level to understand this but moments like this is something that china is genuinely unable to produce and why despite everything we will always be ahead of them
Bazzbros where we at
>>720018582Good.
>>720022248Girl looks like Chell.
>>720018582And nothing of value was lost.
>>720022231>>720022248Once again the robot is the best design
>>720022231Like I said, Bleeding Edge but worse.
>>720019345400m was just teh estimated number, apparently it was bigger.it was big enough to completely close the studio down, which only happens in the craziest circumstances.
>>720019657Their sci-fi name for a mercenary.
>>720022231>the robot is the design which catches my eyeEvery time. It was like that in the final version of Concord, it was like that in Druckmann's new game, and it's like that here. These artists have no problem designing anything except regular ass humans.
>>720018582Far out. Feels like just yesterday. I've achieved nothing, and arguably gone backwards, in the past year.
>>720019642Unfortunately, Anon: He's at Blizzard now.
>>720022514I had crippling fear of interacting with people because I had bad teeth. My parents took me to Mexico to get Veneers and now I look like a normal person, but I'm still scared to talk to people.
>>720019541>And I don't know how so many people looked at this game, the characters, the design, and the dialogue and think it has any potential.Much less paid AMAZON TO FUCKING CGI EPISODE TV IT BEFORE YOU EVEN FUCKING ANNOUNCED IT.Fire Pete Hines or whatever the fuck the SCE CEO's name is into the sun. He has fucked up that division enough.>Let's burn money on a GaaS (*fart*) flop>But not give money to Days Gone which a sequel could improve it's mediocre gameplay loop possibly and be CHEAPER TO FUCKING MAKE than this GaaS sloppa.Sony leaving their bread and butter is what is fucking them over.Observe how Death Stranding gets hype, but all their GaaS get cancelled or flop. Curious, eh?
>>720018582>1 Year agoWait wait wait what? it was few months ago...
>>720022480>>720022443That's because when they design the robots they're designing a character.When they make human characters, they're spending all their effort to make sure you notice why they're a disenfranchised minority, and everything else is secondary. Like, they had to put the crippled guy with a blanket so it's extra double clear he's a cripple and not just a guy on a hovercraft. For all the characters that have brown skin, it's more important to the artist that they're brown skinned than any other aspect of the character, so everything else is an afterthought.
>>720021316Don't forget:>Hire a Community Manager to run the studio>Because he snaked his way into Bungle after being a games journalist at Official X-box Magazine (I still have issues with Frankie in them somewhere), and before that was a music journalist in Scottland.>Let him shitpost on NeoGAF and NeoGAF 2.0 (formerly: ResetERA) all day every day posting racist shit on company time>Somehow never DNS sinkhole the site and tell him to get to fucking work on fixing the I.P.>Puts himself as the Bisexual Jannie (litearlly: https://comiccrossroads.fandom.com/wiki/Hamish_Beamish_(Earth-4001) ) in a video tie-in to the seriesHim and what's her name (Bonnie? Ross?) should've been fired a good decade and five years (15) years ago. But they had something on Nadella and Ballmer (Ballmer fucking the Pajeet? IDK) to where that didn't happen until Infinite launched, had "hype" of "holy shit, this isn't atrocious" and... fucked up BTB for like three months and lost their entire playerbase (BTB was the popular mode, not the eSport shit) in the process because of it.
>>720022323It's crazy Remedy thought racewashing an established character would be accepted. It's as bad as "I'm Redfield" in Biohazard 7. No the fuck you aren't, you look NOTHING like him. Even Biohazard 1 and Code Veronica look more like 5-6 Chris than you.
>>720019345It is de-facto the biggest flop in terms of money ever in the entertainment industry. I'm sure other studios have wasted more money doing nothing or cancelling everything they worked on, but never before has so much money been focused on a singular game/piece of media to get ZERO return.
>>720022951>Only Sony internal employees played it for a maximum of like a day before it crateredGrim and funny.
>>720022196>>720022258
>>720021740Does she have facial gout?
Y'know what really fucking blows my mind about this game?journalists and ex-firewalk devs are still batting for it. even after all this time, all the allegations, all the rumors, and talks of their internal development being completely shite and fundementally poisoned by safe space ethicsAnd they still have the audacity to tell everyone that consumers were the problem for not giving it a chance. And somehow a lot of these studio leads managed to find positions at 343i, blizzard, ea, etc.
>>720022993The biggest movie flops in history only had around ~$250 million USD losses adjusted for inflation
There's no way Fairgames releases right? The "eat the billionaires" theme and the sassy black leads make Concord look somewhat sane. Concord definitely gave the industry a chilling effect on games like this for good.
>>720022951So those sub Gollum numbers included actual paid shills, impressive.
>>720023061this is so sad, more people should be playing Dark Messiah. Making orcs slip on a patch of ice and falling to their death and kicking goblins into spike walls is fun as fuck
>>720023206in the future we'll see "journalists" talking about it was actually an amazing game.
>>720021182>Asanagiat least this one ends well
>>720023267A bunch of people left that studio recently. Pretty sure they'll scrap it and do a tax write off like Concord.
>>720022561No
>>720018582they should do Concord: Live & Reloaded
Hey guys quick questionHow do we stop islam and save the West from falling?
>>720023471send more money to our greatest ally Israel also if you come up with any other problems that same solution will work
>>720022196One of the developers talked about the low player count in beta and release, and he was still surprised the studio shut down. These people do not understand finance.
>>720023267>There's no way Fairgames releases right?i dont think so.jade raymand left months ago and the game director is gone too.
>>720023267No, anon. They HAVE to. You don't understand - it's a female-led studio and it's their first release. The PR and activist shareholder/investor backlash will be monstrous if they kill it in its crib. Not even Sony Immunity will protect them from accusations of sexism.
>>720023336The worst mistake they made is make enemies of animefags by attacking anime boobs, lolis, and oppai lolis. They should have contained it in their westfag world.
>>720023634>The PR and activist shareholder/investor backlash will be monstrous if they kill it in its crib.Sega killed Hyenas right before it released, and given the state of Concord, that was the smart thing to do.
Imagine having this on your CV. It's either this or blank spot for years that you spent on Concord. I don't even know which one is worse.
>>720023709Neither Creative Assembly nor Firewalk were extolled by their parent companies for being female-led. Sony is in a real pickle on this one.
>>720018582bros i wish we got hyenas
>>720023796The female already left like a year ago
>>720023803Hyenas actually had an open beta test, it was a complete game and still got canned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-mN_MeSmxs
>>720018582There are faggots on this board unironically shilling for concord just like they did for stadia
>>720023267didn't the devs say they will give us some update soon?
The lesson is literally nothing muchThe 400mil didnt vanish, the employees got paid, they got years of healthcare insurance in usa The publishers attitude doesnt change at all. The math stays the same. If you make a successful live service game it makes so much money it pays for other stuff. One hit makes 50x the profit of a hit single player game because whales and asians pay thousands to roll gacha. They will keep making GAAS titles, most fail but the rare hit makes up for it. Thats why they closed the game instead of making it f2p after the failed paid launch. It doesnt make sense to invest more into the project after the data says "this isnt the hit that will bring in billions in revenue". You need to invest continuously into the game to keep the grift going, so concord and hyenas closed down instead of being just okay games that you can play.
>>720023267it's being cancelled quietly
>>720023780>Imagine having this on your CV.you just fail sideways to another sony studio making more live service shit because hermen hulst is convinced its the future of playstation.
>>720023471by sending aid to Ukraine and more money to Israel, anonwhat a stupid question
>>720024165Anons en masse need to start making good games so the industry finally can see that their shit stinks.
So are the execs all pozzed faggots or did they just think the audience was a bunch of pozzed faggots who would eat it up?
>>720024165I don't care if they keep making GAAS but this game definitely ended the they/thems doing marvel quips genre and I'm thankful to this game for that.
>>720018582I shown the secret level ep. to my bro, he could not stop laughing at the "400 milions for this"
>>720021756i kind of like the polarity mystic, but it would be better without the concord design sensibilities (shit color scheme, tacky fashion sense, intestines)
>>720024361theres dozens of gacha games that make more net profit this year than what witcher 4 will make in total
>>720025095It's not about the money.
>>720018582BAZZ BAZZ BAZZ BAZZ
>>720024916The Secret Level shit is hilarious because it was clearly meant to be an advertisement for all of the upcoming characters they had plannedAlso the only white man in the episode is a cowardly backstabber who tries to sell out the strong black woman captain and he gets sucked out of an airlock
>>720018582BAZZBROS ASSEMBLE!
>>720023206Because it's connected to Sony.They have to keep playing ball and doing the good boy façade so they keep getting exclusivity news and info and job proposals from Sony.

no way it's already been a year.
>>720026710>Series just turned into full blown porn.Amazing how hard it is to try to do a slice of life futa series that's not porn. There was that one short lived series, but it got cancelled after like 10 chapters.
>>720025701It’s strange to me because 95% of the devs are white I’m sure
>>720019642all that messaging has done to me is making me even more racist
>>720020375good, bring back nerd shaming. the industry has gotten too big
The failure of this game had such a good effect on the industry though. It seems like we have had a lot sexier female characters in the last year.
>>720024367>2016>Overwatch releases and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is around the corner>"I want to make money by chasing these trends">2024>Overwatch committed career suicide with its sequel while people have become more apprehensive towards MCU/Disney>"oh fuck"
>>720021094peak cringe
Reminder that the troons who bought the game were literally killing themselves in-game so they could unlock achievements.Then snoy shut down the whole thing, including said achievements so they literally wasted their time.
More TORtanic than the Titanic itself.

>>720021094This is the only VA I’ve seen from the game support it
>>720022196They fully designed it to be a competitor to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They had a Netflix series, a comic book, movie, merch and everything lined up before they even released the game. They were 100% convinced that if they just copied Marvel and slapped gay black women onto it itd be an instant megahit. But they forgot to do any sort of work to make it you know... actually good
Concord was shutdown because they could never even perceive a hot girl heaven
>>720027082It brings me so much joy when you show just how much this steaming pile of shit failing affected you.It was when you realized that your world is dead, and you’ll never get back any of the power and influence you thought you had, wasn’t it?So please keep posting this picture.

Reminder that the studio was located in a very expensive place with very expensive salary.

There were multiple people, including Sony executives, who saw these fucking designs and thought they had struck gold with the next big hero shooter. Who did they think was going to buy this shit up like hotcakes?
THE FUTURE OF PLAYSTATION
Last from me.Have a nice day.
>>720018582Which one cost more? This or skull & bones
>>720027653Sonic 06 has somewhat repaired its reputation over time with Project 06 and youtubers going "well ackshually the game had SOME potential and cool moments".You will never see this shift with Concord because it’s literally unplayable and tech autists making private servers is extremely unlikely.

To this day I still don't know if Bazz was biologically female or not.
>>720027743>he doesn’t knowRead the email leaks from when Sony got hacked by Koreans a decade ago.The execs and all the other higher ups in these companies are genuinely retarded. I don’t mean that in a insult way I mean they are so out of touch that they genuinely have brain damage.

>>720022231>>720022248These are worse than what was actually in the game>>720022443This is also true

>>720027854The latter but ubi had MASSIVE government gibs so they pretty much lost nothing.
>>720027929He's canonically male. They had that whole lore page thing for every character and location in the game and Bazz being a tranny was important to his story
>>720027082Dev-San, your game/s failed. It's time to let go. Move on.
Bazz!
It was a money laundering scheme.
>>720018582yeah, thanks to some incels on the internet yes, im talking bout (YOU)i'm sure in 15 years some youtube fella will make a video about lost gems of the past among which concord shone like a diamondyou, chud, stole that game from the future generations
>>720022231>>720022248I don't understandhow is it possible to consistently choose the worst possible color combinations?It's like this game existed solely as an attempt to "crush normalcy"

>>720028495The idea that physical disabilities being included counts as "acceptance" and "diversity" in spite of common sense is primarily an idea enabled by people with so-called invisible disabilities that dye their hair and walk around with canes. These types of people are completely different to the average wheelchair user or whatever. (at least the ones that have one because of physical ailments kek.)
I know some people who worked on this piece of shit.None of them have any positive qualities as human beings and yes, some of them did get their positions because they're trannies.Now that Concord is over, they're working at other DEI-infested places, like other Snoy studios.

What if Concord was as successful as Sony wanted it to be?
nevar 4get that sony reserved a secret levels episode for concordthe marketing for this game felt nonexistent. i think sony showed it off in one of their showcases, but i only even knew that the game existed because anons were taking the piss out of the designs here; otherwise i saw no discussion of this game anywhere online
>>720028038>devs are a bunch of ideologically poisoned retards that include a woman who insists everyone calls her a professor, a bunch of racists and the worst character designers on planet earth>sony really thought these mentally challenged apes could make an IP that was going to be as beloved as star wars (once was)I'm still baffled. Sony sank millions into this game and even bought the studio. They genuinely thought this mediocre game was going to do so well they charged 40 bucks for it. That's an even bigger sign than the Morbius thing that all the higher-ups at Sony need to be fired and replaced ASAP, and yet that hasn't happened because... Why?
>>720023373Concord never got a tax write off since it did release. You must be thinking of Hyenas.
>>720028634Frankly, even $400M is probably a lowball. That only counts, development and buying the studio. Marketing + all the extra shit like the animated shorts or the secret level episode, console bundles and concord branded accessories are probably another $100M down the drain.
>>720030010Reminder that snoy also bought Bungie for 3+ billions and that Marathon is in dev hell because of stolen art assets.
>>720019873>might also have to do with the word mercenary being trademarked.What? It's literally just a regular word. Could someone just trademark the word "fighter" and force every DnD game to change their class names?

>>720030123I find it pathetic that the average /v/irgin has better business sense than the higher-ups at a big company than Microsoft or Sony. At least any dipshit here could tell you that Concord was gonna be a huge flop and that Bungie isn't worth that kind of cash anymore. Somehow Hermen Hulst and his team of yes-men, who get paid millions a year, can't. Sony's only job as a publisher is financing games that look like they'll be a success and they can't even figure out what people will hate.

>>720027801lmao
>>720027341Crazy to think that despite all this people still thought the game had 0 marketing because of how nobody cared
>>720030596>>720030528Games don't fail for being woke. They fail when they're made by retards who would rather preach at you than make something fun, which everyone can smell from a mile away. Looking at the past ten years, those kinds of devs are clearly incapable of making a good or fun game, and now people avoid them. So really, it's semantics.
>>720031795it's not in concord's case the problem is quite simple and glaringit's a hero shooter with ugly heroes - it is simply dead in the crib"woke" is just an american cuckold politically correct way of saying "disgusting tranny mutts"
>>720028416Wokeness operates on tearing down what they perceive as "oppressive structures". Basically, beauty and appeal is oppressive, because beauty standards make women feel bad or some shit, so the solution is to purposefully go against those beauty standards so that nobody will feel bad anymore. However, that just results in shit like this, because when you deliberately oppose beauty, you end up with ugly and not a single one of these retards ever thought about it that far.
>>720029741We need more spinoff boardsI want all waifufags and their ilk exiled like vp
>>720029378I genuinely hope people like Prof Brown keep working in the industry. Concord probably wasn't the only piece of outdated trend-chasing ideologically poisoned shit being worked on at the time, and I doubt this trend will end any time soon. The industry is too poisoned for it. Studios are by and large flooded by people who are more interested in preaching than making good games and led by publishers too retarded or apathetic to understand the market and that the garbage they keep pumping out that took 5+ years and hundreds of millions to make will flop. I want the industry to crash under the weight of its terrible games made by retarded chimps, and for them to screech that they really did try their best and how good their games are and how you're fascist for not buying their slop and actually it's all the publisher's fault. Maybe then, when the industry has exploded, will people finally learn something and we can get some good fucking games again.

>>720031795If movies can fail for being woke, I don't see why games wouldn't.
>>720018582>1 Year agoWhat the fuck happened to 2025It was February a few weeks ago
>>720031972And you think it was made ugly in a vacuum?Political beliefs still influence design principles.
>>720031972Well yeah, that much is obvious. Even the 40 dollar price tag wouldn't have killed it so hard if you could goon to the characters, because gooners and whales would still buy up all the skins and bring enough revenue to justify keeping it alive.>>720032274Like I said, it's semantics. *Technically* games and movies don't flop for being woke. They flop for being a sermon in disguise. BG3 did very well even though it's openly progressive because the devs didn't forget to have fun making the game. I can encounter an ogre and orc having sex but I can still kill them if I want to, instead of needing to hear about how rough gay orcs have it and how the elders are a bunch of homophobic bigots. Compare that to Bioware's godawful output of the past ten years and the difference is obvious.
>>720032308>And you think it was made ugly in a vacuum?no, you're righttrannies are mentally ill so they'll never make a competent game (game dev requires high IQ and work discipline) so their product is shit on top of being ugly tranny characters are a red flag that retarded trannies made the game so it's like a failed Litmus test HOWEVER unlike the popular coping damage control narrative like Paul Tassi tries to pass here >>720030528 I argue that even if Concord was made by competent people and was a good game with a better budgeting and pricing decisions - the game would still flop THAT'S how disgusting the character designs were and THAT'S how important the hero design in a hero shooter is

>>720019345>>720019541Thats the confusing part about it all. If it was supposed to be their next huge franchise, why did they wait so long on introducing it to us and marketing it before its release?
>>720034784>Breaks rules of art design.What rules?
I don't think some understand or appreciate how badly this game flopped. You actually couldn't manufacture a worse flop if you tried. You could literally sell feces wrapped in tinfoil and it would still sell better than this game.
>>720034690 For real, anon. Feels like it dropped just a couple seasons back. We’re in that weird timewarp where every year post-2020 just blurs together. Nothing feels real anymore, just content drip-fed into the void until something actually sticks-or implodes.

>>720035537Have sex, educate yourself, go outside.
>>720034957I'm not an expert but>Designs are extremely overcomplicated with many details Typically, simpler designs are preferable in team based games since they are easier to recognize and are more iconic.>Designs are not distinct from each other in terms of color.Every single character has the entire rainbow of colors in their design, which again makes them difficult to easily recognize and distinguish>Everyone looks like a DEI construction worker of some sort, and nothing about them indicates their specific unique nicheNormally you would want a character's design to reflect their in-game functions or character lore/personality.
>>720022231>>720022248These would've been dope to have in some abstract point and click space adventure indie gameAs a main appeal for a 400 million dollar videogame mediafranchise though...
>>720021740>>720021756>>720021891>>720022231>>720022248This is some of the worst concept art I've ever seen for a game. Hovercraft guy, robot F, and maybe Polarity Mystic are the only things you can salvage and even then the hovercraft guy's actual face looks like it's some weird effeminate guy or extremely butch woman.
>>720034957NTA but as someone who has done character designs for commercial games (nothing grand, stuff for a friend's indie projects), I gotta admit that technically there aren't really rules but there's definitely good ways of designing characters for games and bad ways. Stuff like "communicate what the character personality is and/or plays like", "a unique silhouette helps", "keep your color palette limited" and so on and so forth. You can break the conventions on purpose if you wanna do something more experimental, but to do that you gotta understand what the conventions are, and Concord does not understand them. None of the characters have appeal. That doesn't mean they need to be sexually attractive, though that does help.Look at how well beloved the TF2 characters are. They're highly distinctive with unique silhouettes, their color palettes are pleasing, not too garish but not too muted and they're careful about using those colors to draw your eyes to the weapon of the character, which in TF2 is the most important part. Just by looking at them can you tell what they're like. The big bulky Heavy, Soldier and Demoman compared to the lean Scout, Medic, Spy, Sniper and Engineer communicate what you need to know about their roles in a battle, whether they should hang back to support or get up close in battle. It ends up reading very well even in the chaos of your typical MP shooter. Concord's designs don't do this. The colors are garish and don't complement well, the silhouettes blend together and nothing about their designs tells you about what their roles are or what they're like. They could've made up for this by making the characters sexually attractive so they could at least make money off whales buying skins but they didn't do that either. They failed in every regard.
>>720035321But where are the 8 previous games?
>>720035351I've been waiting for the industry to crash since the 2010s. The normies made sure it didn't happen.The fact people bought PS5 and Switch 2 to stock ruptures and the fact that games like The Last of Us made enough money to warrant two seasons of a TV show. People are retarded and retarded people are easily parted with their money. We have to come to the conclusion that it will never crash, they'll just become more creative about how to reach at your money.
>>720035410This was designed by some russian guy with AI though
>>720023061I'm still baffled that a game with almost half a billion budget and 7+ years in development time couldn't muster more than 1000 concurrent players. It's completely ridiculous.
>>720035925It will happen soon because the economy is in the shitter and even normalfags are noticing it.Except the left of course, while they did notice that everything is more expensive, they somehow think that it's not related to the economy being shit but just evil "rich people" (but actually middle class people trying to make a living) raising their prices to fuck people over while slurping the latest iphone.
>>720035817And to back up the previous Anon, details can work but the details need to tell you something about the design. The Demoman wears bombs on his vest, the Engineer has a toolbelt, the Spy wears a balaclava and the Sniper wears sunglasses, boy howdy I wonder what that says about their roles in battle.I'm gonna use Bazz as an example because she's one of the most reviled designs in the game which is impressive. I haven't played it but she's a "highly mobile flanker that can quickly get in, take out a carry or support and dip"? Why does she look like an old black woman going through a midlife crisis? She could be black for all I care, but she needs to look like she can do parkour then. She needs to be young, wear something more comfortable like a hoodie and backpack or something. Think Molly from TWD season 1. This overly elaborate jacket, those purple twin afro things, the sunglasses and garish lipstick, nothing about it tells us anything about what she plays like. At best, they tell me she's a woman I would avoid in real life.
>>720035925>The Last of Us made enough money to warrant two seasons of a TV showReminder that money was supposed to fund factions 2, instead, all of it was spent on pedro pascal paycheckcuckmann should burn in hell for that alone
>>720035537Trump won btw; the electoral college, congress and the popular vote.
>>720018582>Concorddidn't a plane with the same name crash spectacularly like 30 years ago, why would you choose the same name?
>>720036038They quite literally made a game that no one would want to play and bet it all on the "Shame if you don't play it" like they did with The Last of Us 2 and the likes except it was so bad not even the woke crowd and journo zombies wanted to touch it. That's what happens when you bust 21 at the woke table when the deck's currently -10 advantaging the house.
>>720034957why do gcj retards still come here
>>720036194I still find it crazy they blatantly lied to everyone about it coming out even after the game first released and got no backlash for it.

>>720036498it's the only thing they have left now aside from their cats.
>>720026902It's not stranger, it's a grim reality. It's amusing to see people talk about DEI games in terms of sales figures, I'm sure the overlords who requested these DEI project and rolling in tears from laughter in their fucking chair of how retarded majority of people are. The end goal of DEI pushing is not "money", why would you need money if you are infinitely rich, the end goal is the situation you are so baffled about - when 95% white development crew unironically creating projects like Concord, out of the "goodness of their hearts". It's about reformation of society as a whole, a constant stream of shit to flood the media, this is another reason why they still making this DEI slop, besides the infinite money, since the point here is continual grind of culture into dust until everyone, out of their own freewill will say "give me more ugly nighers and mud people, I love them", it will never stop until this happens, and unfortunately slowly but surely we arpoching it, if not already there...

Sure, people weren't as sick of hero shooters as they are now, but still, Lawbreakers did almost 20 times better than Concord with a fraction of the budget, dev time and without Sony backing them up.

Easiest example would be that it would be filled with people advertising their own channel which moot in particular was pissed about back in the day and you used to get autobanned for even saying certain streaming site names in a post.>>720037160I've never actually had an image deleted like that before, I saved the image from here and even double checked the archive to see other posts with it were fine, not deleted, used in normal situations, and even opened the damn thing in Notepad to see if something malicious was hidden in it that I didn't know of and to my layman's eyes it looks fine too. It's just super odd but whatever.
>>720037106I wanted to be somewhat fair because I'm sure games have failed in the past for being boring right-wing propaganda, I just can't think of any examples right now. But then Alex Jones actually released a Metal Slug like game and it wasn't even bad and made me laugh, so hm.

>>720023293>aside from employees gifted free copies and paid promoters literally not a single soul played it
>>720037208That's because the real clientele is the socialist hydra that's consumed our economy. 50% of the wealth is sucked up into that beast and then laundered across proxies to organizations like BlackRock (that's why they seem invincible), and you can't really participate in the economy in any meaningful way unless you have access it. And guess what their conditions are for regaining access to the wealth that they stole from you in the first place?USAID was a large head, but it was still only one head of the hydra. And so long as taxes and spending aren't dropped, the problem is just going rearrange itself and the bad guys still won't be left holding the bill for all of the industries that they're destroying.

I honestly want to know who's funding these games and why nobody is pulling the plug and cutting their losses. Maybe it's my own ignorance because I don't play any shooters beyond the release year of 2007, but aren't these various CEOs and corporations aware of trend chasing and that it's better to move on and do your own thing than trying to stay relevant when the peak was years ago? Isn't that what they pay market analysis for or whatever the fuck they're called?
>>720038529Well yeah, there's always going to be some people like that, I'm just saying that's compared to the floodgates that could happen if there was a board solely for Youtubers, Twitch streamers, and so on to be talked about /vt/ is fairly "contained" I guess is the best way to put it. As far as I know they haven't really gone to these great lengths of harassment or active targeting of certain people to a degree that it actually becomes an obsession about a person or harm for that person.For argument's sake imagine a perpetual CWC, DSP, LTG, or Ja/ck/ general. Imagine if Bluespike happened with constant 24/7 encouragement due to how /cwc/ would basically be a rolling general of driving him further into insanity. It would lead to so many more legal issues fairly quickly than they already have to deal with let alone bots actively advertising.

>>720038546I don't disagree.

>>720039382Wait a second anon, I wanna believe this because it would mean that abomination of Velma only gt two seasons because this, but the shitty Cowboy Beebop live action only got ONE season and then was killed, same with that Resident Evil series.

>>720030240Changing the name to something copyrightable is very different than changing the name because the original name is copyrighted by someone else.
>>720021891>>720021756>>720021740Why are they all wearing sneakers? What is up with the modern sneaker obsession I live in a highly melanated area so we have food trucks that are sneaker trucks here. I dont understand itI feel like a bunch of liberal white people sat around and thought "what is a black person? Oh I know that like sneakers!"
>>720018582/S
>>720041510>What is up with the modern sneaker obsessionStatus symbol. The name brand ones are unreasonably expensive but still within reach of being "affordable" and can be flaunted easily without getting robbed.
>>720022248>>720022231Even the characters on the same page dont looked like they are from the same thing. All of them are so vastly different that if you showed me these independently, I would think they are their own thing
>>720040469>>720039774>designer for one of the biggest videogame flops in YEARS, with one of the biggest reasons it flopped being the character designs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>hired as LEAD DESIGNER for a BLIZZARD gameJesus ChristFailing upwards isn't really a meme
>>720040907I just explained.The government takes 50% of the wealth in taxes.Congress gives it to the agencies.The agencies distribute it to the NGOs and contractors.Your taxes are now in the hands of the """private""" institutions and can be spent however they please, including forcing companies to put their people on the board of directors and make political hires. Videogames are the most popular entertainment medium for men and the institutions 100% want to control it for propaganda purposes. This isn't even speculation.This is called "the whole of society approach". The idea is that the government has the resources (because we have a high tax, high spending system) but not the legitimacy, while "private" companies have the legitimacy but not the resources because people believe that they're independent. So they launder the tax money to the "private" companies and have them do their bidding.That's how they steal from you, and that's why these incompetent people keep getting hired.
>>720027046Yeah I think this is the game that ended this shit. Sure a few will come out here shortly that we're almost done in development, but I think in 5 years, we wont be seeing any of this
>>720019345Also remember that Sony just made Kpop Demon Hunters (most viewed streaming content ever) and thought it had no potential compare to some Septh Curry film called Goat so they sold all rights to Netflix for a 20 million profit
>>720041664But they get robbed all the time. How are an ultra gay looking pair of shoes a status thing?
>>720041971Just fyi to the young folks who are more gullible, this guy is typing out his ass with no sources or anything to back up the big scary numbers and specific actions he says the faceless entities are taking. This is not to be believed.
>>720042248>But they get robbed all the time.Sure, but compared to something like a Rolex?>How are an ultra gay looking pair of shoes a status thing?How are Labubus popular? Why did Dubai Chocolate explode? Why were Beats popular not that long ago? The internet has caused a lot of more mundane things to gain popularity or at least some prestige. I seem to recall them getting bigger in terms of the public when Supreme stuff started getting big. Jordans were always popular but until Supreme happened it was never to that level.
>>720022846>Beamish was of Scottish descent, and had a tattoo of a thistle, the national floral emblem of Scotland.Why is it always them?
>>720041971This.
>>720023078tbf that is a collectors item now
>>720023206these companies fill their games with niggers, trannies, and poos specifically so that they can blame the consumers for the failure instead of themselves. this works for movies, but it doesn't work as well for video games. a lot of people will hate watch a movie, but nobody is going to hate play a video game. on top of that, people are more or less sick of hero shooters, and this game was conceptualized in a time where that was already going out of style, but released FAR later than it ever had any hopes of drawing a crowd.Games as a service causes players to only stick with one game, and that's why it is still profitable. Nobody's going to pick up another game like this one if nobody else is playing it. If you like the genre, you might as well just stick with the one that has the most concurrent players. Same reason why other MMOs tend to fail while WOW still exists.
>>720032423>Like I said, it's semantics. *Technically* games and movies don't flop for being woke. They flop for being a sermon in disguise. BG3 did very well even though it's openly progressive because the devs didn't forget to have fun making the game. I can encounter an ogre and orc having sex but I can still kill them if I want to, instead of needing to hear about how rough gay orcs have it and how the elders are a bunch of homophobic bigots. Compare that to Bioware's godawful output of the past ten years and the difference is obvious.akshually BG wasn't marketed as a woke game, there were no gamers being attacked by devs etc, you even had right wing youtuber glaze it.It released during a time when there was lots of plausible denial for woke insertion into games being nothing to care about. People could comfortably laugh at HeelvsBabyFace rant against pronouns in Starfield as a nothing burger, but he was proven right in the end.It was only in 2024 after SBI blew up the spot and Suicide Squad bombed that anti-woke movement of not buying woke games really started to kick in. We saw the dominoes starting to fall that year with woke games flopping one after another.Point being a game that's openly woke would suffer a sales hit in current market no matter how good it is. That's why wokes have to subvert existing i.p.'s that have the ball-rolling, they can't make new i.p. openly woke game and expect people to look past the anti-white dev virtue signaling (for example), in-game wokeness (trans shit) etc. and expect big sales. Only things like Cyberpunk 2/Witcher 4 can really tank sales losses. Even GTA6 isn't immune from sales losses I would say.
>>720042294https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrJhQpvlkLAHere's a guy from the State Department talking about it for a few hours.
>>720042294>you need to prove that taxation existYou're fucking retarded.
>>720041510Sneakers are cool but they even managed to make the sneakers look like ass.
>>720038369And that's sony's problem, not the devs who worked on this dumpster fire. Sony needs to learn.
>>720042817>>Point being a game that's openly woke would suffer a sales hit in current market no matter how good it isWell yeah, that's because the pattern became undeniable. Woke games are made by retards who hate their consumers and don't want to make fun games to spite their target audience. Everyone knows it. Everyone who saw Concord's terrible designs and writing knew it was gonna suck balls because they advertised it proudly.
>>720023261>Ishtar only lost $90 million adjusted for inflation>Heaven's Gate only lost $150 million adjusted for inflationWhat is the biggest Hollywood flop then? Cleopatra?
>>720027384they claim the white replacement theory is bullshit, but they know it isn't. it's why their futuristic games never feature white people, because they know mixing brown with white just makes more brown.
>>720043150From the few sources I've seen, they seem to put John Carter at the top. There is a difference between a moving bombing and a movie grossing poorly though. John Carter lost the most money compared to what was spent, but a movie like Zyzzyx which only made about 30 bucks total didn't spend nearly as much to make.
>>720019238Because your memory is vivid
>>720042962The devs made this trash game, not Sony.
>>720043385That sucks to hear since John Carter was actually a great movie I saw in the theaters.Spirits Within being another example of that.
>>720043771Eh. I saw it at a two for one drive in theater. It played right after the avengers and I fell asleep pretty early in.
>>720043873No wonder, watching right after a 3.5 hour movie.
>>720042882Got anything I could read instead?

>>720038208what is a HMO plan?
>>720025701
>>720042774Western gaming industry, under the power of DEI-obsessed investors, has more competition from the eastern industries. They can churn out a game full of fat nigger trannies, and then some Chinks make a similar game full of big titty anime girls and it kind of ruins the whole (((scheme))).
>>720044928Fatigue... level... rising....Don't... know if.. I can make.. it. Bros....
>>720044712they will burn it all if they are told it will lead to getting a penny more than they started with
>>720020375From all the real gameplay clips I've seen, I tend to agree that Concord does play really well and smooth, but capital G's just can't get pass their breast sucking phase sadly
>>720027082unkown 9 bros.... we are forgotten....
>>720027082Yeah wooo dustboooorn we are the new poooorn we are newboooorn pooooorn dustbooooorne woooo

>>720042894>taxation existing proves that "50% of wealth", a vaguely defined quantity at best, is taken and given to companies who's job it is to force other companies to hire non white people to ruin video gamesYeah, again I'll need receipts to close the gap on that one lol
>>720043198i mean... if it's in the future it's sort of correct since white people don't breed.
>>720045325I know it's correct, but it means the white replacement theory isn't bullshit. Whether or not it's being orchestrated by jews doesn't affect the outcome. There are a million ways to add numbers together to wind up with 100, but at the end off the day, you still wind up with 100.
>>720045321Someone linked you a video.

These modern studios and flops remind me of my own workplace so much. It was a stupid but comfy IT office job 10 years ago but since then has been invaded by women and fags and now me and a handful of other "old" employees are pretty much doing all the work while 90% just sit around in meetings, coffee breaks and bossing us around, at this point I lost track of how many talent-free "managers" I have. If their last capable workers leave they are pretty much fucked.
>>720040571I wonder if the Baz voice actress there knows the character is canonically a male transgender lol.
>>720019238Big calender is putting trillions into magents to force the earth to rotate faster.
>>720027743DEI consultants convinced executives that consumers were desperate for ugly disabled black women in games.
I feel robbed of the lolcow that would've been Hyenas
>>720046614Isn't the VA itself a male transgender?
>>720044979That's why they had to get all the big japanese studios to accept ESG pledges with all the strings attached so they could unify the agenda with minimal outliers breaking the scheme.Didn't work because Korea (Stellar Blade) and new devs springing up.
>>720046119A friend of mine worked at an IT consultancy company that got bought up and his new manager did his best to bully out all the experienced employees. As you can imagine, complaints started coming in that the new employees are shit-for-brains who don't even know how to fix simple firewall issues. My friend was one of the last ones to leave. He had a decent salary but got tired of constantly clashing with his boss and being forced to constantly hold the hands of new employees who get paid more than him. All this while getting yelled at for wanting to prioritize his own work over helping others, while also getting yelled at for being unable to finish his work on time. Once he quit he quickly got a better job offer from one of his old employer's clients who is now in the process internalizing moving all their IT services. His old manager was not happy to loss out on such a big client, and that my friend was working for them now.It really makes you wonder why we need all these useless managers.
>>720047016it's also why they were panicking over Wukong and Wuchang Chinamen out of nowhere, without Sweet Baby Inc. gaps, just making games without western journalist inputs or concerns
>>720020836We're all ripping on Bazz's stupid fucking outfit, but I want to point out the "triple dodge" highlighted in this trailer. The Concord devs went through the trouble of making multiple categories of movement abilities and doling them out to different heroes, I think that's a genuinely fascinating design space, and a real tragedy it was anchored to Concord. It reminds me of Anthem, where there was an amazing flight system and the only way to experience it was to buy a live service.
>>720047325>without Sweet Baby IncSBI actually tried to bully them but were told to fuck off, it caused massive damage control even here.
>>720018582Hard to believe he's dead...
>>720044526what a god awful, unappealing character design. . . maximum Grocery Store Auntie in ugly space suit.
>>720047524What an amazing imagine.
>>720027481mocking things is fascist now? these people hate free speech.
>>720030084You can write it off if you buy all the copies back and give everyone a refund.
>>720040469>いいね!
>>720045325White people are not breeding because all of the governamental systems are in place to punish white people while giving maximum benefits to non-white people.
>>720045167We were truly... the unknown 9...
>>720030317it's a new executive mentality. whenever a new executive is hired, they feel like they need to make drastic changes. and since there's a push for every company to hire more female executives, you'll see more results like the cracker barrel rebrand or bud light tranny.
>>720019238Time is passing at 1.5x speed since covid.
>>720047445>>SBI actually tried to bully them but were told to fuck offShit I remember that. They really are a nasty bunch.
>>720047524When anyone tells you the competence crisis isn't real, remind them what happened when they let a Catholic Catholic captain a modern cruise ship
>>720035172they'll always blame poor marketing or toxic fans. they'll never say the game itself is unappealing.
>>720046739Unironically correct. And if you get out of line you get whipped back into being a slave.
>>720048782As opposed to a Baptist Catholic?
>>720047578That's literally the woman from the original "grocery store auntie" tweet
>>720048561Fun fact about your pic: Backslash was actually so fucking hard that they cancelled the plans of changing the logo.
>>720027230Does anyone have a link to that presentation? I tried to find it, I remembered it being hilariously awful.
>>720037659i've been noticing this is media. you'll often see black women as saviors and white men as the villain.

>>720040723velma was contracted for 2 seasons. it's something you have to negotiate for and everyone can't get it.

>>720041510it's a black thing. and since modern developers worship black culture, they must also obsess over sneakers.
>>720042817>akshually BG wasn't marketed as a woke gamethey showed a man having sex with another man that turned into a bear
>>720044928He's relaxing way too much in the presence of feral armed blacks.
>>720018582Never even heard of it.
>>720049150They act scared like that then in the same breath they call any right-wing objection just a vocal minority and act like they're the majority lol.I wonder if they're still going to modernise the interiors of the resaurants to look bland and boring too. The logo remaining won't help there.
>>720046739No they said "They are going to buy it anyway".They took us for goylems.Nobody cares about Star Wars anymore, the "unthinkable" happened, wat nou?
>>720018582And you haven't stopped talking about it since. You must really like Concord.
Whatever happened to Sony's remaining live service slop?Marathon and Fairgames, I think?Whatever happened to those?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEZsGUqgtHQ
>>720021891Someone pointed out that the 1st one looks LITERALLY like the protagonist of that one migrant shitty comic book looking game that came not long after.
>>720050173before the game released?
>>720050452Marathon was delayed until next year. It will probably be swallowed up by the black hole which is going to be GTA6. Fairgame$ had it's leadership leave, apparently it had a closed alpha test that didn't go over good. It hasn't be officially cancelled yet.
>>720050452I think Marathon has been shutdown, but I'm not sureI never even heard of Fairgames.
I did this
>>720050452>>720050567Actually, Marathon was put on indefinite hiatus.Fairgame$ will probably be brough to the back of the barn and you'll never hear about it again.
>>720048561>>720049150>>720050353Remind me of Land O’ Lakes where the opposite happened:>logo feature a native american girl draw by an native american girl with all the correct native american feature and symbol>people bitch about it on social media because they assumed it was made by a white man and was offensive to native american>as a result, the girl was actually removed from the logo while the people who bitched patted themselves on the back for scoring a victory against racism by being racist
>>720050564yes
>>720050173True, but it was not being marketed as just that, it wasn't some kind of preaching or talking down to you - so people just took it as more of a meme.If I recall correctly, BG3 released stats later and it was shown that like the majority of people played as heterossexual white protagonists, so it's clear people didn't take that video as lecturing, just as a joke.
>>720050760>reverse image search>no resultI hate to ask but source?
>>720018582so was Hyenas
>>720050859The "anti-racism" people are usually the biggest racists.Sometimes, as someone from 4chan, I feel like I'm being out-racisted by those people when I hear them talk or act, it's impressive.Also, it's usually the "anti-racism" people that make the "I'm not racist" people go>I'm not racist... enough, it seems

>>720030123Remember, Microsoft said "no thanks" to buying Bungie because of how bad their cash-burn rate is. MICROSOFT, the company that spent nearly $100 billion dollars just on this generation like it was just pocket change, said this. They may run their acquired IPs and companies into the ground, but they usually (not always, usually) show a good eye for SPOTTING strong IPs. Sony should've seen this as an enormous red flag.
