It doesn't need to be worse than Concord for me to think it laughably generic and uninteresting. The only reason it's receiving the vitriol it is, is because it was placed at the end of the show instead of halfway in. If it was halfway in no one would even recall its name.

It looks infinitely better than Concord, but it still lacks any cohesive art direction. They want to be medieval, futuristic, fantasy, and everything in-between. Just pick a period and build a cohesive roster around it.

Why do you think Deadlock has a lot of intrigue and excitement in its art direction?

making a new art direction is not something you get a team togheter to do.

>target audience is apex legends players which has everything that people have been bitching about but has remained consistently popular
Apex Legends is actually (fairly) unique and it came at a time when BRs were just starting to take off and they weren't as stale as they are now. The whole hero shooter BR mixture was rarely done at the time, and while it was always a hit or a miss with characters there were never any designs that were too blatantly "woke" at least until maybe Season 6.
Loba's design is fairly popular for appealing to coomers and Revenant was pretty cool. The gameplay is also great because it was lifted mostly from Titanfall.

This Highguard shit looks completely forgettable and the brown blob on screen doesn't exactly inspire confidence. It's not going to be another Apex Legends but it might be another Back 4 Blood from the makers of Left 4 Dead.

I'm sorry, who the fuck was this supposed to appeal to? Looks ugly, isn't that different from other extraction shooters, and uses the name of an older Bungie IP that it only shares a name with. No, really, who was this for? Who was the target audience. Does anyone even bother asking that question anymore before green lighting these hundred+ million dollar projects?

It's worse because it didn't learn and now we have to teach the lesson again or suffer with more live service slop.

It will fail probably buy not as badly as concord because they didn't spend 400 million dollars for it and aren't trying to sell it for $40 in a market where the biggest games are "free" to play.
I would feel bad for them if they were white or straight dudes, but they saw concord and went
>yeah I want this but with horses
And that wasn't even a first live service slop flop. The market has been saturated for long time. And games that been around for a long time are losing players too.
My advice for anyone making concord right now.
Rework your game to be fully single player.
If you can't do that gut your game and sell it for parts. Sell every asset and system in unity and unreal asset store.

You're fucking yanking my chain if you're going to pretend lifeline, gibraltar, conduit, seer, and bangalore are less woke/ugly than the characters we saw in the highguard trailer, and as someone who plays neither they're both equally forgettable. You're just being more charitable to apex because you've already played and enjoyed it.

The actual gameplay sounds like it might at least be half-fun. The whole thing about fighting about neutral objectives so you can fight into your opponent's base reminds me of Gigantic, and it'd be nice to see other games try to explore that style of hero shooter design. I understand why the general audience is ripping on it though: they were expecting a big reveal, and the trailer was pretty shit at conveying things. I only knew this shit because I looked on the steam page later, and even then it's got basically nothing on it.

But as for /v/, anons trying to rip on it is clearly a desperate attempt to force a meme. At worst, it stands to be a likely-forgettable release that flops within a year. There's no 9-digit budget from a major company before axing the project unceremoniously like Concord or Hyenas. This is a small, self-published release from a no-name studio. Hell, it's not even enough to reach Splitgate 2 levels of cringe, because even though they both tout revamping a tired genre before showing mostly generic gameplay, at least Highguard isn't ruining a previous game while smugly sucking themselves off like the Splitgate 2 guys did.
