Gamers have stated that they don't want it
>>730870236every protagonist looks indian now.
>>730870236what's up with the "just fuck my shit up" haircut?
>>730870236I'm almost in on the setting but it loses me with the concord characters
>>730870236stunk cock felicity
>>730870236They really should have just shadowdropped it with the trailer. It would have minimized the backlash instead of letting it fester.
>>730870236actually, the idea of a "raid shooter" could be pretty cool. if its like, some mix of Attack vs Defence, unreal tournament Assault maps, a little R6 Siege destruction, and maybe even some planning/setup/resources stage before rounds.but it almost certainly won't be that, it'll be some gay Fortnite slop with [DIVERSE] characters.
they already made it they might as well put it out for free and see if anyone bites
>>730870236Bro is NOT The Guy, wtf is he wearing
everything from the name, to the characters, to the gameplay just looks like AI made it
>>730870236I see it ending up like The Finals rather than Concord: Largely ignored, with just enough loyal fans to keep it afloat, who ignore the lame visuals and boring mysterymeat characters for enjoyment of the gameplay.
Get ready to suit up, Wardens!
>>730870236wasn't it supposed to launch late december?
>>730870236This hairstyle is basically synonymous with faggotry.
>>730870236>Gamers have stated that they don't want itMost Apex Legends players (me included) are looking forward to it. If gunplay is somewhat similar to Apex I'll be playing this shit 100%.
sunk cost.they wasted millions for years
you think you don't, but you do
>>730870236What's wrong with his skin?
>>730870414It's almost the Killmonger haircut. Don't know why the DEI devs are so obsessed with it. I guess it's the only black person they've ever seen.
>>730871943In what way is this the killmonger haircut? Highguard guy doesnt even have locs
It's not about what gamers want; it's about what the investors want.
>inb4 /v/ starts pretending to like the game
Show the trailer to a 12 year old boy. Only their opinion matters.
>>730871981It's hair and it's on his head. Basically the same thing.
>>730872020They want a good return on investment. They won't get it. I'm curious how many have actually asked why seriously? There have been so many big failures lately surely some of them must have noticed the huge piles of money being tossed in a flaming dumpster.
>>730870414Broccoli hair is trendy with zoomers
>>730870236It looks like he has the bussin hair from afar
Genuinely trying to wrap my head around this game's existence when they've surely seen others like it crash and burn near instantly. Leading with that character design on top of it all, like come on now.
>>730870236When you see characters like this you know a conversation behind a closed door was had like "yea when you make that main character just make sure he isn't white ok? We don't want to offend anyone"
RRRRRRRR SSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR!!!
>>730870665>raid shooterI assumed this mean some PVE element like the teams have to finish something like a Destiny raid while fighting each other which sounded interesting but it isn't that
>>730872689It seems to be some kind of convoluted tug-of-war.
>>730870236I'm a gamer and I want it
>>730872146Their stated objective isn't to make money off of this video game, it's to change the perception around video games to sell them to the increasing number of black, and gay people they are importing into countries with electricity.
>>730872776I think both teams have a town they spawn in, you have to push to the town and destroy it and first team that destroys the other's town wins I guess? Will probably be some bs mechanic that can push the attackers out because you can't have spawn camping in 2026
>>730870236it's meant to be propaganda. money or gamers wanting it has nothing to do with it
>>730872854Is there a term for this? Like reverse capitalism?
>>730870236watching it crash and burn is more fun
>>730872146Because most investors just hand over their money to huge investment firms who then spread out those investments across many companies across many industries. Thus if a single project flops it's not a big deal because it's hedged by a ton of other things. It's also why you see retarded buzzwords like the focus on "ecosystems" and "monthly users" even if they don't necessarily translate to sales, and of course retarded metrics like ESG and DEI. It's all to fool people that aren't actually looking too hard and just want a good growth projection.
>>730872995If it's actually a full blown actual conspiracy it'd be a psy-op. But I'm not sure how serious that anon is. We do know of a handlful of groups like sweet baby were definitely doing that kinda shit, but I don't feel like they're quite big enough to be considered that, though maybe I'm just making the term too narrow myself.
>>730872854>fight Safia and beat her to a pulp>just stand there and let her climb up you and sink her fangs in>diablerize her instead of ripping her head offAs cool as this looked, still upset that you turn into an idiot in the final cutscene
They can't delay this game not now with all the bad press it has been getting because that will just make things worse. All you can do is release it and hope for the best
>>730873758The funny thing is they might get artificially high playercounts because people want to get in if by chance it is pulled just like Concord in a week or so. And it's free to play I think. Can't imagine anyone will be interested in whatever monetization scheme they have for it though since it just looks like shit.
>>730870236You don't understand, market analysis says people want to play as a zoomer looking indian/mexican hybrid so they can self insert.
>>730872914>>730872689so, i analysed the trailer frame by frame in an exhaustive 2 minute study. i think it's a bit MOBA-ish Deadlock-like. you have to fight over a magic sword, which lets you break a magic barrier and siege the enemy base. cracking the red orbs probably gives you some kind of loot/exp system so you can't just +w through everything.the areas looked pretty decently designed as FPS maps, but the scaling is all off. like giant courtyards but it's just a little 2v2 skirmish which presumably could end in seconds if someone pops their stupid """hero shooter""" I Win button, and then you'd smash through to another bit of the base whilst they respawn. at least that's how they showed it. but it looks like it's designed for 24/34 players servers or some shit. not that crappy UE5 games can do that these days. that'd be epic tho.but now i've given myself some kind of mental illness by doing more work than the marketing team, so i've come 'round to being excited for this game...
>>730873947So it's capture the flag with more steps?
>>730873947There are literally never more than I think 3 or 4 people on screen at a time, it's a very strange gameplay trailer.
130k peak with 90% players ditching a month later
>>730872146>They want a good return on investment.not any morethey just want to see the world in general and the vidya industry in particular burn to the ground
>>730872854If that’s true, it’s working like a charm. Perception is changing, no one takes AAA seriously anymore
>>730872854Black anon here we are not playing this
