>another Hero Shooter bites the dustWhen will they learn
>it's another cancelled game that you had no idea existed until it was cancelled episode
>>728973936this
>>728973936Tragic.
>>728973847the fate of all concord-likes
>>728973847Another woke tranny game by out of touch cash grabbing CEOs?
Looks extremely original and very promising after all that Concord fiasco, I wonder why they were not able to secure funding
>>728973847>couldn't even be bothered to make their own original weapon in their futuristic cowboy shooter and just copied Valorant designsabsolutely nothing of value lost
That's a shame. Unlike concord and the rest of that slop, this game had at least one sexually attractive character.
Wow. It's Concord 0.5
>>728974074>Another woke tranny gameit's ok when China does it
>>728974110>>728974314>>728974376Imagine taking the decision to continue developing this game after Concord happens. I bet everyone at that company started updating their CVs after Concord's failure
>>728974376imagine the footjobs
overwatch and its consequences
>>728974110>fat forearms
people making these games probably hope they get bought by sony because hermen hulst is an idiot who is still throwing money at games like this.
>furfaggotry
>>728974742Where is the fur?
>>728974738Then again these games are only falling because of Trump, and tell me WHO could have predicted the rise of Conservatism with Gamers during Gamergate?
>>728974376>>728974110Did the model get ripped at least?
>>728973847somethingsomething anheroshooter aquastealingjokes.jpg
>>728973847How the fuck do you guys keep discovering these games no-one has ever heard of? Do you just shotgun follow 100 different game developers and trawl for Twitter """"""""news""""""""" to collect (you)s on /v/?
I have hero shooter fatigue. We need to return to the age of endless CoD clones.
>>728973847>spend 1400 days creating a game>there is no gamehow is nobody getting sued? someone's money was spent, where did it go?
When are devs going to learn that you can't just get a huge consistent playerbase out of nowhere? There's already a hero shooter people play. There's already a MOBA people play. There's already a fighting game people play. You're not going to get them to change over.
>>728974376that's a male.
>>728975016>shooter slop>consistent playerbaselmao
>>728974110Hold up, is that a frog waifu? Maybe they were too hasty.
>>728975016'audience capture' only matters insofar as if the developers don't fuck over the game everyone is playing which is what Blizzard has been doing with overwatch for almost a decade (10 years)The industry smelled blood in the water with Blizzard and thought they could compete.
>>728975016But Arc Raiders is brand new and it's making a GORILLION dollars! Nevermind the 99% of other projects that failed without even being noticed by the public, surely our next slop shooter will be the next Fortnite!
>>728975016It is rare but it happens>H1Z1 -> PUBG -> Fortnite>Dota 1 -> lolThese devs/investors are betting on 0.1% chance it happens I guess
>>728974514Woke is when interracial relationship teasing
>>728974110oh its that one with the lizard bitch that looks like Paladins
>>728975016The game wasn't even out you fucking retard
>>728975435well yeah? woke means jewish/anti-white
>>728974074>is it woke trannyIt is a swede company so probably
>>728974110oh hey it's a combination of the worst parts of tf2 and overwatch
>>728974514If they were an actual item then Cloak would be a massive cuck and who just watches from the shadow dimension or whatever while "his girl" openly flirts with Johnny.
>>728975484Jews are a minority.
>>728975059a cloaca's a cloaca
>>728974742what is the point of a censor bar that's transparent?
>>728975612nobody knows but it's provocative
>>728975565umm not anymore sweatie. she's getting canonically BLACKED now
>>728975016It's because of devs falling for the reddit cycle>XTHING made a change i don't like!>1000 reddit troons sperg about it non stop and ban anybody who disagrees with them>This results in them thinking they're the entire community of XTHING and number in the millions>There are so many of us, we need an alternative to this XTHING!!>Somebody sees the threads, thinks it must be a genuine movement and there's a big market in making XTHING alternative>Said person makes an alternative to XTHING>1000 redditors make reddit threads claiming it's going to save us all>XTHING alternative comes out hoping to pull in hundreds of thousands of players>1000 redditors play it and nobody else because it turns out nobody else actually cared>repeatThis goes for software, social media, vidya, all of it
>>728973936That's terrible for a hero shooter. They should have advertised it more. Never heard of it.
>>728974868highly doubtful the 2 or 3 playtester saved a copy of the game
>>728974376I legit had no idea what this was till the sex frog was mentioned.
>>728975846>>728974868there is still a demo on steam
surely it was the chuds who did this
>>728974972Don't even have to be CoD clones.Doom clones would be fine.
>>728974110baptiste on blizzard world defense first point
>>728975719nope
>>728975612it's not a censor bar it's some tape stuck to her finger
>>728975468and why do you think it never came out you fucking moron? They weren't getting the metrics they needed to make their game worth it so they shut it down, exactly like I said. Punk ass dumb bitch.
>>728974110I loathe this bland inoffensive soulless UI style so muchdid overwatch make this popular?
>>728975907go download it thenyou'll have to rip the models yourself tho, the hyenas had way more players there's a copy available in the archive and nobody has ripped their models
>>728975016There's a reason if you go to the dev's website, you'll see their "partners" are three venture capital firms. They were given some cash and a DEI checklist and told "get X number of players in your playtest by this date or we pull funding."It's the most mechanical, brute-force way to make a successful game but these niggers have so much money that they just keep doing it in the hope that one of them sticks. There are so many games like this.
>>728976086>nope?
>>728976126>The absolute most soulless way to make a game>FailsSometimes good things do happen I guess
>>728975260Arc Raiders succeeded because Tarkov sucks and everyone knows it
>>728976097>they failed because they didn't have a huge consistent playerbase>the game didn't even fucking come out you retard>uhh uhh actually it failed because they weren't seeing the right """metrics"""I hope you trip and fall right onto those goalposts you're desperately trying to move, you retarded faggot ass bitch.
The first hero shooter to rediscover putting at least ten guys or more on a team will be the next medium sized thing.
>>728974110wow that looks like garbage
>>728974376>lizard head>wolf-like legs
>>728975016Marvel Rivals did it. Apex did it. Valve's trying it with Deadlock. Some games succeed so suits are willing to bet on the 10% chance they print money.
lol at trying to compete with marvel with this crap
>>728973936>>728975817I only get my vidya news from here. Plus, I'm using an ad-blocker.

>>7289766754 years ago people were already tired of overwatch. They must have thought they could take its marketshare.
>>728976585Toad legs kind of resemble wolf-like anatomy if you imagine a frog standing up on two legs like a human
>>728976823oh, I didn't notice the claws, that's certainly an odd choice

>>728977141Argonians are one of the most popular elder scrolls races though.the issue isnt that beast races are unpopular, it's that developers dont like to commit to them when they could make another 100 D.va or Mercy clones.

When is Fairgames (Once titled Fairgame$) coming out? I need to sneed that fail too
>>728977584It's fucking sarcasm, you chatbot
>>728975016The problem with AA and AAA game dev is that there's always a multi-year long delay between when the project gets started and when it's finished and a lot can happen between that time. Hero shooters where seen as the next big thing and Overwatch was a little over it's peak 4 years ago, devs probably thought there would be a big market for it.The other problem is that even a modest team of 10 or so people will already put you well into a million or more in the hole just to pay them. Even with Kickstarter money or other crowd source funding AA devs will still need to look for a publisher to fund them, and publishers aren't going to fund any random ass project, so those that get picked up usually follow trends, so devs will only make games that are copies of more popular games. It's a shitty cycle.
>>728977675It was canceled already I thought?We still have Highguard to look forward to though.
Soulless AAA slop dying always makes me happy.I hope one day indie compromises like 99% of game releases, and the remaining 1% is only AAA by trusted and top tier companies like FROMSOFT, CDPR, and Rockstar.
>>728977831this is AA slop

>>728977675Seems to be in development hell with devs leaving including the game director, it's basically all but officially canned

>>728977771>It was canceled already I thought?No, the head of the studio and game director left/were fired but as far as I'm aware Fairgames (Once titled Fairgame$) hasn't actually been cancelled yetIt fucking should have been cancelled a long time ago, but it hasn't been cancelled yet.>We still have Highguard to look forward to though.For fun I decided to watch a bunch of game awards streams and basically all of them went from hype as shit to disgusted in the first three seconds of the trailer (Basically when they saw Highguardman's haircut)I'm so glad this shit comes out in less than 6 weeks.

>>728975260Arc Raiders got popular because it was a genuinely well made extraction shooter in a market where tarkov of all things was dominating.It was also unique in as it actually made the PvE aspect an actual focus where PvP losers couldn't just treat the PvE like meaningless side content. There's a huge compilation of streamer nogs bitching and whining about the PvE/Arcs being such a massive threat.Though I don't play the game anymore and they could easily have changed it to cater to these faggots.

>>728974376If this is the best one they had on offer, then it's still better off dead.
Never played a hero shooter, never will. Miss me with that gay shit.
>>728991570My problem with it is that it looks completely fucking uninspired. Every character looks like an AI gen ripoff of an existing character or two. Same with environment and gameplay elements.
I wonder how does one pitch a hero shooter/fortnite clone to investors and why are investors fucking retarded said clone/copy will net them infinite money?
>>728991570it looks fine to me as well, honestly, but it also looks like it basically could have been a source mod i played in 2008. the hero shooter genre and exceptionally generic art don't help, though.
>>728973847You made that up. There was never any such game in development.
What's up with all those mediocre hero shooters that barely get advertised? Is Concord-like a thing now?
>>728993038Dumb money chasing live service it seems. > Is Concord-like a thing now?I think it is. Maybe we should have a thread to define and refine the term in a bit.

>>728994147The problem with stormgate is it looked completely unfinished, like everything was in pre-alpha
>>728994368Eventually there'll be no studios left for them to fail upwards in, blizzard is on life support by probably less than 100k mazed addicts and naughty dogs next game is a guaranteed flop meanwhile they're burning millions of $ every month

>>728973847i had to read up on this and it's hilarious how little anyone knew about thisthe game has a subreddit; all of the posts are from the developers, and almost all of them have less than 5 upvotes and 0 comments.

I can't even say it's my fault because I never heard of itWhy don't more devs rent a 4chan banner? At the very least, they'd get more exposure here.
>>728973847Wait I just checked and the game actually didn't even release. They had playtests and shit but were looking for investors to continue development? The fuck? Aren't you supposed to show prototypes and proofs of concept to investors BEFORE going into full production?
>>728973847>four years of hard worklole
>>728974110>looks like an uglier Overwatch>1080Ti minimum specslmaoEvery time
>>728991570It looks OK. It could have been way more lame and gay. However, it's basically just Overwatch. But also uglier, somehow. It has some extra mobility mechanics, I guess, but why the fuck would anyone play this over Overwatch? I doubt there would be too many people who are just sitting their waiting on a shitty clone. And the game's name is kinda retarded too.

>>728997310>>728992351>Too Generic/Similar to XThat explains it then. To me it looks new because the last hero shooter I played was TF2 like 10 years ago.
>>728997654Because all they know is money, they don't have a clue about video games. They would rather bankroll things they can easily shove microtransactions into and keep a perpetual stream of income flowing from.Funding an expensive game that people are only gonna spend money on one time is riskier.
