Clearly the devs. They had early feedback into their game not being cool. So instead of taking that feedback and making something out of it, they decided to double down on their uncool slop.
>trust us, you will love it when you try it
Well, good luck on that, people have this odd thing called choice, and as long as you are releasing games in the 2000s people will just chose to play a game that looks more fun than yours.
Also the gameplay did not show anything amazing either, so why play something that looks like slop and plays like a mediocre shooter, if you can play a mediocre shooter that looks nice

Deadlock does not market itself as a hero shooter. It markets itself as a 3rd person moba.

And marvel rivals had the brand name, and holy shit a marketing push.
You need to have fucking something. You can't just hope that you will drop your product into a saturated market as fuck, have no originality, nothing to make you stand out from the rest, and people will just drop all the pvp games they took the time to get good at and invested money into their live services, and switch over to your live service game, because they just hate money that much.

You ignore them and make a shit game that nobody wants to play, and you lose your job because of it.
Its your fault for being a stupid retard. Just make things people want, not things nobody wants. Its that easy, especially if you have like half a billion dollars to do it.
I would never hire one of these stupid assholes because theyre the kind of people that cannot take any feedback at all.

Bro I don't even think Concord deserved quite as much hate as it got but this is a wild take. It would be fair if he felt his work was good and that he was proud of the team despite the game's reception but ultimately defining it as good when the public's reaction was not only immediately shaking their heads but to catapult memes into virality specifically about how bad the game is until the game became synonymous with all things soulless triple a cash grab is fucking unreal. Like get this dude a shot of tequila and a slap in the face so the blinders fall off, he's in critical denial.

Their opinions are meaningless as they are tainted with sunk cost. They'll never be taken seriously over how "proud" they were of the "good" game they released because it inherently comes off as biased simply due to the time invested in it.

I don't owe it to every single game to play it to see if it's good. If devs want me to play their game, put in the effort to make it look interesting and market it well.

>>722560543
I agree with everything except Marvel's marketing push, Concord had tons of money wasted on marketing too. My point is the genre was just as saturated when Deadlock and Marvel released and they succeeded, so it's weird to me to blame Concord's failure on the market itself when it's this easily disproven
Concord was such monumental dogshit that even if it was the first hero shooter to ever be made it would still flop and kill the genre for at least a decade before someone could attempt something similar to it without being laughed out of the room
>>
>>722560642
The funny thing to me it was also panned critically. So I don't know where the fuck any of the developers gets off calling it a good game.
>>
>>722560792
The literal trashcan was also the most fun and novel character to play, his gun was a vacuum cleaner that you used to suck up enemy projectiles to charge an ability that shoots compressed trash balls. Every other character's loadout was mostly cookie cutter stuff you've seen a thousand times before in these sorts of games, the whole thing just felt very bland to play apart from trashbot.

A year later and they still don't get it. The reason this 'hate train' even existed was because the game, and more specifically its characters, looked like shit.
Look at Overwatch in comparison. It has a lot of cumbait characters, a lot of cool/edgy characters, and a lot of silly little guys, so it appeals to a ton of people. Playing as big monk is appealing, playing as french sex queen is appealing, playing as edgelord mac shooting is appealing.
Then you look at Concord's characters. Who's gonna go
>dude I love fat androgenous ugly mystery ethnicity they/them
Absolutely no one. And on top of that they made it some generic hero shooter. What small audience you may have would just rather play Overwatch and goon to Tracer's ass. It's really that simple, if they made the same game but with actual hot/cool/funny characters people would have given it a shot

The Devs for getting mountains of negative feedback and still pushing forward with their terrible designs.

That's willful incompetence. If everyone says they hate the character designs then you change the character designs. You don't push out a game that you know is going to fail because you're too prideful to change. Make all the female characters hot, make the male characters various forms of badasses, make the aliens and robots look less gay and send it to market. You're still going to take a loss because the point at which Overwatch clones were profitable passed years ago; but at least you wouldn't crash out inside a week.

The gameplay was perfectly fine from the perspective of everyone who played it; but the number of people who want to play as a stab happy knife wielding transsexual is pretty limited.
>>
The game was fucked, there was nothing they could do to fix it or change its perception.
The character designs and genrral tone of the game being DEI-approved wokeslop being the biggest showstopper, they have to be that way as part of the conditions to get ESG funding from the jew investors, so they can't take player feedback about how fugly the characters are because they can't change them or the investor jews get mad.
The other part of it was just live service GAAS slop fatigue.

1. Games are a visual medium.
2. If your characters look bad in your character-focused game, no one will want to play your game.
3A. Normalfags don't want representation in games. They want entertainment.
3B.Your character designs should be designed around entertainment, not public service announcements or sociology lectures.

They are also f2p, concord was a full priced hero shooter so it already priced itself out of the market and the shitty designs meant few were willing to waste money trying it out.

Concord's marketing focused on characters and the world building, which was fucking incomprehensible decision considering how lame it all was. The devs are now complaining that people didn't even know what the game was about. No shit, the gameplay was completely absent from the marketing push. People who actually fucking played the game missed game mechanics like the Crew system because the marketing didn't talk about any of it and the game itself had poor presentation of it's mechanics too and focus was on character and lore presentation in a gameplay focused competitive shooter.
I don't think I'm too far off if I presume Concord's narrative and worldbuilding was the creative lead's pet project based on unrealized scifi story concept, and applied in entirely wrong kind of a product.

See, I read this and I'm like... how do you still not understand? Concord wasn't fun to watch fail because it was some big game and all big game failures are funny or epic. It was fun to watch fail because it was soulless slop that pushed multiple incredibly lame character archetypes and design methods that represent everything gamers don't want in their games. For lack of a better term, we want to see anything woke fail and lose its backers millions of dollars. That's the only way to get them to stop making it.

I was merely disagreeing with the idea that the genre was dead, clearly it was not because a big success in it launched right after Concord. It's just an excuse the Concord devs said, or maybe it was a Sony exec, I can't recall. Of course the reality was they made a game that appealed to exactly no one, and then made it paid to play, while the other game looked cool, had recognizable characters portrayed as being cool or sexy, and was free to play with no restrictions.

For me it was that they spent SO LONG making this game and acted like they had just unveiled The Next Big Thing, and it's the most generic circa 2018 premise and game possible, just a flat Overwatch clone gamewise, and just a flat GOTG movie clone storywise, but with NONE of the polish or passion that went into those projects.

It was the obvious bubble this whole game was developed in, for years and years, that made it funny. That they were so completely out of sync with the most basic audiences but spent these hundreds of millions of dollars on this drivel.

It was a really sharp contrast seeing these both being marketed at the same time and having betas at the same time, and coming out close to each other. They were basically polar opposites, to the point that if you made it up in a hypothetical scenario, people would scoff at it for being too on the nose.

And it's not purely an IP thing, the Avengers game went headlong into two big missteps straight out of modern gaming, the realism artstyle with "aping the MCU but also not an MCU adaption, you get their stunt doubles", and then the already tired and rapidly dying GaaS ripoff model for gameplay which made it a complete chore for everyone to play and wasted the potential of a big budget Avengers game.

Anyway - the reason it failed is simple.

It looked ugly. It didn't look cool. That's it. That's all there is to it.
People can be like, "It played like shit and..." Yeah, maybe, but the first reaction was unfiltered visceral disgust. You put out a hero shooter, then people want to play a hero. They want to play some larger than life character. This means classically handsome or beautiful with cool design choices. They do not want to play as an Ugly tranny with a knife.
It's such a simple fucking concept.

Bunch of idiots and the result was well deserved.
They think everyone ignored what work they had for their game play and the majority labelled it as slow moving FPS slop. It's the same type of game play as Destiny and that has also been failing. Split gate was faster and STILL failed. They don't even know where their own game sits in the landscape of gaming. Hypocritical fucks playing sympathy cards and STILL not recognizing their efforts were pointless because THEY DIDN'T ANSWER THE MOST BASIC FUCKING QUESTION.

Honestly the characters just suck ass. They don't feel like characters, they feel like everyday people in clothes.

Jabali is supposedly a healer yet nothing about his design conveys that design decision. Meanwhile you look at something like Pharah from Overwatch and from the moment you see her she screams "airborne character"

You compare say Soldier 76 who is a "white guy character" like Teo yet he's visually memorable with the visor, jacket and big gun whilst Teo feels like he could have been in any AI generated slop game as "white soldier man"

And this isn't even going into the horrible ugly designs that are Bazz, IT-Z (the character where the creator didn't understand what the colour wheel was) and Emari

When game budgets get artificially blown out to the hundreds of millions, 2 million copies is a drop in the bucket when it comes to recouping costs.
Hell I remember the uproar a decade ago when devs were saying one of the Tomb Raider games was considered a failure after "only" selling like 8 million or some shit.
Devs more importantly, publishers need to learn how to stop putting all their eggs in one basket and make affordable AA titles again.

It's very easy to put out cope like, the media and hateclick snowball was the reason the game failed. The game was actually good.
But it's clearly not the case that this was a "too ahead of it's time" kind of game either. It was clearly very late to the party in genre and aesthetic design. I didn't play it but there was no shortage of people who had that said the game was just straight up less fun mechanically than industry staples like Overwatch, TF2, Valorant or whatever else.
Sometimes a hated game can be more fairly re evaluated later down the line, but in this case that won't even be possible because the game is literally unplayable now. All thats left is clips of it on youtube.

The concept is definitely better than the final product, but the choice of colour palette is still largely a problem. There is a reason those sorts of pastel colours don't get used much when trying to make something visually appealing.

The designs for all but two of the characters in that image are 1. Ugly, 2. Bland, or 3. Both. And the ones I don't think are outright ugly or bland are still not good. There's just nothing aspirational or interesting or COOL in that whole image. The chunky green military woman in the armor in particular is like...how did an entire art department take this thing from concept to production and NOBODY questioned whether someone would actually want to play as that thing? She's ugly, her armor looks bulky and without even a trace of style. 1,7 and 11 on that image are just incredibly basic and uninteresting designs that you'd see on an NPC in a Destiny-type game. Those are not characters people want to play as; they're questgivers you look at for all of 30 seconds total on a playthrough of a game.

It's staggering how bad the art design in the game was. Your gameplay means nothing if it's locked behind the ugliest art known to man.

None of them, despite their politics liked Concord. None of them bought it. Their first reaction was, "It looks pretty lame".
It felt like they were dancing around simply calling it ugly and gay. And from memory, none of them play characters that look like the characters in Concord. When I played BG3 with a few of them, their characters were always the prettiest women in any group. And they always played Elf or Half Elf and chose the same two faces, which happened to be the prettiest ones.
I don't think anyone really wants to play those characters in Concord.

Do they really not understand why people feel vindicated when a crap game fails? It's about the hope that a failure will actually get the company to stop making garbage nobody likes, because they (presumably) don't like losing money. The game looked gay, lame, ugly and bad. It failed, so hopefully this is one small step towards no longer getting gay, lame, ugly and bad games made.

honestly insane that people thought this was ugly. Not only were the graphics and animations better than most other multiplayer games, but it ran better too.

concord failed because they put the cart in front of the horse. Nobody knew what this game was supposed to be but they just kept hyping it, talking about how they were going to have so much lore and cut-scenes and story, its a whole new franchise with maybe a tv show/movie in the works.

If they just cut that shit and admit its an overwatch ripoff it would have at least had some success.

My free amateur crime sandbox game has 2000 total players across Itch and GX Games, with between 10-50 people coming back every day 8 months later. I was curious and checked Concord and was pleasantly surprised that my game had comparable numbers between release day players. Not bad considering I'm one guy and I spent nothing on advertising and the game only has roughly a year of progress today. That means I almost beat Concord's PC numbers with an amateur project I spent like max 4 months developing before initial release.

hyenas looked hilarious, one of the characters was a sonic the hedgehog cosplayer who just runs fast. I think both hyenas and concord could have done well if blizzard didnt make overwatch 2.

The issue here is that by focussing on the characters and making that their selling point THE CHARACTERS will now be held under extreme scrutiny. Even more so since that's all anyone knows. And the designs are... FUGLY. Most people walked then and there. NOT A SINGLE SECOND OF GAMEPLAY WAS PRESENT
>Chance #2 - The Key Visual
For those that missed the reveal trailer their next chance to be appealed to was the first KV the devs released. NO ONE CAN TELL WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF GAME IT IS FROM THIS? When you, the Anon's of /v/ saw it did you know it was a hero shooter? No, right?
So it's just a bunch of ugly characters in some non-descript game.
And now for the most damning chance of all.
>Chance #3 - The first press release
How did one come to learn what kind of genre the game was if the first two chances were void of any kind of indication of what the game was? For the VIDEO game medium, a VISUAL interactive medium, the first time you learn what kind of game it is is in a Press Release, i.e. WORDS.
How could anyone have faith in your game when you've so far shown to have none for yourself? GIVE THE GAME A CHANCE? What game? The game you refused to show?

>I don't even think Concord deserved quite as much hate as it got
The issue many overlook is that they made their entire selling point THE CHARACTERS. The reveal trailer showed ZERO gameplay. So all anyone could take away from the reveal trailer was "they really want us to fall in love with these fuglies. No" If they'd showed LITERALLY ANY gameplay. The characters would've still been shat on but not nearly as aggressively. It is literally their own damn fault for trying to hype up this piece of shit when no one even knows who they are. What are we meant to do? Just pray it's a good game because they showed a cinematic trailer? If some no name indie does that no one even looks twice at what they made. It's blown off as pretentious dogshit because they aren't showing the ONE, SINGLE, DEFINING FACTOR THAT MAKES IT A GAME. GAMEPLAY.

No, according to you since you boil all of human history down to Jews ruling over whites like mindless livestock and anybody that seeks to oppose them being utterly and totally crushed.

History to you is entirely the result of Jews. It is one in which whites have no role other than slaves, and any attempt at resistance is met with violent inevitable failure.

Yes. According to anti semitism. Your hyper focus on Jews really just reveals your own pathetic loser mentality. The entire thing is laughable. Your own words undermine any argument you have about the west more than anything even the most liberal leftists can make.

To you, all of human history is just one long string of defeats against the international Jewish menace. Even if all of those stories were true, they only highlight how you deserve to be extinct on the basis of basic Darwinism. Whites, according to you, are fit only to be livestock.

Nobody should care about the devs who made this game anyway, if they made a good game that people would want to buy instead of sitting on their ass for 10 years jerking themselves off then they'd still have a job working on Concord DLC or season passes or whatever.

Now that's not entirely fair.

>https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/about-us/blackrock-retirement
the reason blackrock does the shit it does is because they have a ton of parked capital from normal people's retirement funds and they just diversify that shit along the entire market because the stockmarket always goes up in the long term and they can just collect fees on it and anyone investing for retirement just cares about long term gains so that's the safest thing to do. Blackrock owns fucking hololive stocks, they invest in everything and then push their jewish shit on everyone because they control so much money they have the ability to affect stock prices based on who they park their money in or not.
And shit like concord going under doesn't really affect them because they are so diversified and they make money on management fees and not quarterly gains and it's other people's money. they just need to gain at the same rate as the index funds and they don't get in trouble for their shit

So many of these same type of modern devs have the idea that no matter how bad or how poorly received the final product is, they should always receive praise and reward simply for the fact that they worked on it.
The effort or lack thereof, in most of their cases is what's valuable in their minds, not the actual result.

Also I don't remember if it was Concord or the new Halo but there was a gameplay director who said he absolutely HATED guns and sci-fi guns were just BARELY ok but not really. Does that sound like someone that could make GOOD shooter gameplay? Fuck no, why would you hire someone that hates guns to work on the gameplay for a game ABOUT GUNS?
Sonic Team for instance with all their failings often have reasons these failings occurred(team splits upon team splits, pressure from Sega to get something out in time for the holidays/new console launch e.g. Sonic 06 and Secret Rings) that while it doesn't absolve them of their fuck ups makes you go "yeah they fucked up but I can understand how it got there."
With Firewalk it's like they did everything in their power to do everything wrong and it's all entirely their own damn fault. There's no "you were being pressured to get it out in a rush," THEY HAD A FUCKING DECADE. They weren't rushed to get it out for a console launch or Christmas or something. They had all the time in the world and no one was being split off into a separate team for a new project.

>"I'm not gonna play your game, it looks like shit."
>"BUT YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED IT!"
The funny thing about Concord is that there are people - "experts" - that are *STILL* in denial saying there was nothing wrong with the character designs and it wasn't the main reason it flopped.
It absolutely, 1000% was. At best they were discount, ripoff Guardians of the Galaxy characters. At worst, they were just rancid shit or character designs that came off as a joke.

Like, "dude here's Doomguy but he's a fat black woman with purple lipstick. Don't you wanna play as that character??"

But if the characters were good looking and/or cool, the gameplay could have been shit and it would have been at least a modest success.

Concord releasing into an oversaturated market meant it had an up hill battle.
It being a premium game in a genre that heavily features free-to-play models, and not having any special appeal, is what killed it.

Its zoomer repellent but it has a dedicated fanbase. Once Autism overtakes ADHD again RTS will become popular.

Nope, they make you bend. It´s your natural state, after all.

How are you going to feel once Palestine reestablishes itself over the corpses of your misbegotten people?

Both deadlock and marvel have pre built audiences. Marvel has moviefags deadlock has valvefags. Go into a deadlock thread and shit on the characters, you will get a stream of arguments against you. The characters look (deadlock) genuinely disgusting, but people tied their identities to valve or marvel since they have no real religion to anchor themselves to and they treat these things like a substitute for God.
There is no zealous consumer base like that for Concord because Sony has done everything possible to antagonize their old male white and asian consumer base.

Rivals is also free to play and based on characters that have been around for decades while concord wasn't

>the game looked bad, had horrific character design and was another hero shooter
Why your pretending it wasnt all those things combined?
I hate when faggots only quote a part of someones statement and pretend they didnt say the rest to push out some smart sounding statement.
That aside. How does a hero shooter become such an expensive product in the first place? Its not like it had an insane ammount of content. From that alone you already know it was some money laundering sceme behind the scenes.

I had never seen the full rooster, and god. it's like seeing one of those failed action figure toylines from the early nineties that would end in the clearance bin at Poundland.

I hate the art style and setting of Deadlock but to even compare it to Concord is disingenuous. Concord characters looks like your neighbor doing a cheap horribly uninspired guardians of the galaxy cosplay, and its characters are only memorable for how infamous they are.
Most of Deadlocks characters may be a miss but at least it has some gold sprinkled in.

>How does a hero shooter become such an expensive product in the first place?
a) Firewalk was a HUGE studio
b) studio located in Bellvue, WA
c) development lasted eight years

Oh you are right. The male characters in deadlock look great. I was specifically referring to the female characters that look like they came out of Gloria Stenem's mind.

A good interviewer would ask what their target audience was, and then what % of the population that is and whether their target audience even bought the game.

I got far more entertainment out of the Concord fiasco than I would have with the actual game

Can you name a single thing they did right?

Drawing out development for eight years and getting salaried in one of the most expensive areas of the world?

And then failing upwards into other studios
