>2 years since it shut down>Still relevantHow?
you weirdos think about this game more than the fans hahaha
>>733759640Easy to do when there are no fans.
>>733759640>the fanswhomst
since what shut down?one of the katamari games?
>>733759587IT'S BAZZ
Because spiritual copies of it are still rolling out of their years-long development
>>733759587Bad art has as much potential for lasting appeal as good art.
>>733759587>2 yearsNo way
>>733760347It has not been two years, it released August 2024
>>733759640at this point, /v/ (and kirea for some reason) ARE the fans
>>733759587>>Still relevant>no fangame like SNOOT GAMEnot relevant
>>733759587It's the single biggest financial flop not just in video game history, but media in general. Of course it's still going to be remembered and analyzed.
>>733759640I am a big fan of Concord, I just didn't and don't want to play it
>>733760070FUCKING KEK.>>733759665Also KEK
>>733759587can xhe get xer own game? xhe needs a game of xer own. this can still be saved
>>733760498>1,5 yearsFUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKF CUFKCUFKCUFKC
>>733760739Uhmm that was DEBOONKED by Schrier sweaty
>>733759587Memorable characters
>>733759587We love Bazz here
I really wish pic related got a full release, it was even more expensive and embarrassing than Concord, the publishers just had enough sense to cancel it at the last minute to avoid humiliating themselves further
>>733760654Sony should honestly just sell off the IP to Nexon or an anime studio. It would be Bazztacular.
>>733761081they are unforgettable in their own way ;)
>>733761203>it was even more expensive than ConcordI highly doubt that.
>>733761790It's a commonly parroted misconception because people think Sega was/is making a single game with hundreds of millions of dollars based on some Engrish
>>733760297It is unfortunate that this is true.
>>733759587BAZZ!!!
>>733759665
RMEMEMBER? LOL HAHA REMEMBAAA
>>733762173>dustborn>tried to rhyme newborn with new pornSomebody check that dev's hard drive
>>733762173pls add Highguard to the list, thank you
>>733762505Veilguard too
>>733762173TORTANIC!TORTANIC!ANOTHER ONE! LMAO!
>>733762173Yes, the industry should remember to avoid making such an enormous mistake againIs that unreasonable?
>>733762561>Veilguardwow, completely forgotten, man what a ride
>>733759587how CAN you forget about THIS??
>>733759587LA LA LALALALALALALA LA KATAMARI DAMACY
>>733761081not even the faggots of the galaxy looked this generic
>>733762689Damn Concord looked like THAT?!
>>733759587Operates on Obi-wan logic. "If you strike me down" etc.
>>733761203my GOD we were ROBBED. the shitposting this game would have created could have been LEGENDARY
>>733761081amazing, they are so lame and forgettable yet they have found a way to remain fresh in my mindfull circle
>>733762689
>>733762642Just the nature of single player flops, much easier to forget about since they don't put on the same spectral as Concord shutting down at two weeks. Immortals of Aveum was as much of a disaster as Concord player wise at launch and eventually lead to the studio being all but closed, but the game is still around since it wasn't reliant on a feed of live service content.
I mean, if we didn't live in such bizarre times, Concord would be extensively studied for being the biggest media disaster of all time. Companies worldwide would investigate, similar to how Ford operated at the start of the 19th century.
>>733759665lul
>>733762689Oh boy, time for chocolate.
>>733763301What's really funny is that I bet some people behind it ended up in plus after this whole fiasco. Some investor money has been drained and appropriated, some works have been done and paid, some portfolios established. It crashed and burned? Fret not! Onwards to a new adventure we go! And the wheel of samsara goes for another turn.Modern business is not about making products and exchanging them for money, it's about turning money into more money. If you see carts always breaking on that particular road, see if there's a repair shop nearby.
>>733763301I'm sure other companies have done deep dives into what went wrong, though who knows if they'll take the right lessons and it is hard to alter course for a project well into development.Will be interesting to see what lessons Sony takes to try to salvage Fairgame$ though.
>tfw 2024 was 30 years ago
>>733763595The people who made out like bandits were ProbablyMonsters, who sold Firewalk Studios during Concord's development to Sony.
bazz saves me when i'm in despair
>>733759640/v/ are the only fans Concord has.Hell, I would love if someone here released a snoot volcano high version. It would be hilarious.
>>733762689>NOOOOOOO BAZZ DON'T RAPE MY MOUTH WITH THOSE LACIVIOUS LIPS OF YOURS>AIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE *sluuuuuuuuruuuuuuruuruurpupu*
I still can't believe Bazz's backstory is unironically being an Amazon warehouse worker and it's how she got her knife skillsfucking lmao
>>733761081how do you address someone with undecided pronouns?
>leftism... what power... i kneel....
>>733761081>The blue guy who's whole animation is just an autistic gorilla shuddering into thinking.I still think the only half decent thing to come out of this game is that blowjob 3d animation of the fish cat girl.
>>733761081I am continually impressed by Concord's animations. I can literally see the bad acting and microexpressions on every single one.
>>733759640Fans?
>>733761081>Alien with a ricefarmer hat>Yellow
>>733759587>bazz
>>733764242Tribute to the anti-imperialist heroes.
>>733762173You lost, don't shoot up any hockey games over it
>>733764080It kinda reminds me of LoL's shitty character backstories (10 years ago at least, don't know about its current state).But that shittiness was due because of how shallow and generic they were, like they were not even trying and just wrote the first idea they come up with. The ones from Concord feel like they are bad on purpose.
>>733759587>>2 years since it shut downIs that really true? Holy shit time passes so fucking fast now, It feels like it happened middle of last year
>>733759587A man is not dead while his name is still spoken.Concord will remain immortal until game devs learn the lesson of its death.
>>733759587Because /v/ is obsessed with keeping this crap going because it's just r/gaming but you can say nigger.Nobody outside here gives a fuck about it beyond "oh yeah that happened". But /v/ NEEDS vidya schadenfreude in the form of AAA shitting itself just to feel anything anymore. You won't get any legit indie or vidya talk on this board. and the worst part is the OPs are all engineered to get us to answer by compulsion. And you KNOW the fucking OP is also sockpuppeting differing opinions JUST to get comments like mine for his le ebin "youtube read by an AI voice" video for "COOL EBIN 4CHAN GREENTEXTY TOOS".So yeah fuck you OP. I will *always* call this crap out.
>>733764486damn nigga gonna cry?
>>733762173I did not give a shit about dustborn at all and ignored it. I actually play indie's I DO enjoy. Like Seance at Blake Manor.
Bros, when will we get our game...>>733759587
>>733759665kek
>>733764550That monk looks like he gets damage bonus based on coins possessed.
>>733762461The funniest thing is that he doesn't look bad bald.
>>733764486I wouldn't know how r/gaming is.Maybe you should go back there?
>>733762639Only if you dipshits keep harping on about it. Plus I'm sure they don't give 2 shits and will just do it again later on. Like I'm not saying sweep it under the rug, but that it's not fresh to make fun of anymore.
>>733761181Kek
>>733764629Stop coping baldie, literally every single man looks worse and older bald
>>733763481No need to be this callous but 10/10 shitpost I loved it.
>>733761081this is how liberals see themselves
>>733764628You simply envy his financial ecumine.
>>733764373Old LoL had soul precisely because they were just throwing random ideas in there. Big knight guy, assasin slut, more assasin sluts, blind monk, grugpilled guy with animal fighting styles, a stereotypical pirate, pirate slut, cute blonde girl with sun magic, crystal skorpion, big steampunk robot, a werewolf, spooky scarecrow etc
>>733764550If I make this game, will you buy it?
>>733764550This looks so much better than what kikes put out in the last five years, plenty of diversity too, lmao
>>733764137chaz gardenKEK
>>733761081The fungus man is not as bad as the rest.
>>733759640What fans?
>>733764136"Hey, faggot!"
>>733764765Probably, but you'd have to make it FUN to make it profitable, can't help you there.
>>733764704I'm not bald, I'm just saying it's ridiculous to do this.
>>733764173It's very high end graphically, but it's not a positive because everyone is so realistically rendered that they just look like actors in really cheap costumes.
>>733762689Artificial intelligence was a mistake
>>733762020I mean the "400 million!!!" number for Concord is also completely made up. People just repeat it because they like the sound of it.
>>733764872that is quite fascinating, like 60fps Hobbit movie that took enormous tech to bring about, but made it look like a cheap soap opera TV show
>>733764704At least he’s not piglike
>>733762173https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/x4aRpG3zzj0pRAWEx0WYvQ/
>>733759587Did another Katamari mobile flop perish?
>>733764915>IT ONLY LOST 300 MILLION~!!!okay
>>733764542Your pic is peak midwit plebbitor tier, absolutely nothing stops me from enjoying indie and AA games and laughing at AAA slop industry collapsing upon its own bloat.
>>733764842Well I agree about the wig, but it's cause he actually got a hair transplant
>>733764373They were generic but not as bad as this nigger backstory
>>733760710What would Bazz Game even be? An action game? An FPS? A roguelite deckbuilder?
>>733759587You hate this because it's full of ugly nigs made by faggots.I hate it because it was a bloated, uninspired AAA live service S|op.
>>733763216>Buzz off! >The time just flies!>Bah, humbug!>I don't like the look of this parlor!>Let's wing it!>Gimme some sugar, baby!
>>733765062Just make it an RPG Maker shitpost
>>733763216Buzz?
>>733764798I bet you there were some who bought the game out of spite cause da chuds on /v/ and X were trashing it.
>>733765062Dating VN, of course.
>>733761081Looks better than Deadlock, unironically.
>>733765128>>733765086heh
>>733759587Bazz design is so insanely bad it's gave us endless chuckles. I love bazz at this point. I hope they relaunch concord so it can flop again and relive the hilarity.
>>733760710Snoot Game had character designs that appealed to furries. Nobody wants to play a VN where you romance Concord characters.
>>733765337HAYAI~
>>733765152I highly doubt it. This game appealed to no one. Even people who would spite buy couldn't be bothered to root for this boring dreck.
>>733764708Kek
>>733765281Does it? The artstyle absolutely blows, it looks like a shitty cheap sci-fi show.
>>733761081holy shit, it has their pronouns next to their class. HAHAHAHAHA
>>733759587"The room" of character design.
>>733759587>that weird moment you make a character design so bad that it breaks the "recognizable silhouette=good design" rule
>>733765394>no oneWrong.It appealed to the devs and their fringe ilk.There should be a million of those nutcases overall, but they don't play games, let aloe own PlayStations.
>>733764153proof?
>>733765062Box-packing simulator with VN story
>>733759587I RESPECT BAZZ'S PRONOUNS!
>>733762173kek imagine getting this mad because woke garbage lost hundreds of millions of investor moneyKERAROOOO

>>733759640>you're weird for remembering>p-please forget it already
>>733759640>fans>hahahavery true
>>733759640>>733762173/v/ isn't just about your silly mutt culture wars, we enjoy adopting failed orphans and making them into memes, it's just part of the culture you don't care about or respect since you are too busy as leftist or whatever pushing your agitprop of the week.
THE DAW PIZZA COULD HAVE BEEN LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE! WE COULD HAVE HAD A BLAST!
>>733765692>>733765975lmao did they only advertise in Korea or what
>>733764958We've done polls on this, the majority of /v/ is on /v/ more than they play video games, on average by a large margin.
>>733765975Is this real? Why Korea exactly tho? I thought Asians don't really care for fps games.
>>733760070Holy shit now I know why her design looked vaguely familiar. I'm not even joking
>>733766056that sounds about right, you play a game for a few days, finish it and browse /v/ for the rest of the week shitposting about it and other topics.Even live service shit like Concords or gacha, you only do 10-minute dailies, a match or two and relax, eating with youtube and browsing the web.
>>733765490It didn't appeal to them because no one bought it. Concord is more than just "woke", it's also boring, and lame, so lame that even the ones who want to "show support" passed on it. Look at these chumps. No one can get excited for them. The dev team was in a severe bubble that could not be penetrated.
>>733766120>>733766036they were likely trying to make Concord into an eSport like Overwatch leagues and shit, test it out over there first...?
>>733766056Yeah because shitposting on /v/ is fucking fun, doesn't mean I can't enjoy playing (good) games in between. I'm sorry that funposters like me are ruining the super serious image of the board and we can't have AMAs with industry shills, again I recommend plebbit if you prefer that.
>>733766036>>733766120https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dBN3q72lwsNo idea, but the Koreans just seem to big Concordions.

>>733766235>>733766425Thanks Korea, thank you for making Stellar Blade also
>>733759587>>Still relevantthey keep making spiritual sequels
>>733766235>>733766425Glad Koreans are keeping early-2010s humor alive
>>733766583Eh, these are just milquetoast. Nothing great, nothing as bad as concord. One might even call it mid.
>>733766583The character design is fine, it just that looks so generic.It's not even a case of "AI could of made this". A person made this, but an incredibly uninspired one.
>>733766706It sure beats calling everyone niggers and trannies in term of humor.
>>733766767>>733766819after Concord, everything seems tamethat's the power of Bazz
this game is a crime against beauty, I'm convinced that it was purposefully made as ugly as humanly possible as some kind of satanic ritual against the very concept of it
>>733759587luv bazz
>>733759587Cautionary tales never die.
>>733766912Lessons learnt from Concord:[]No absolutely abhorrent character designs.[ ]Stop making hero shooters.[ ]Keep idiot devs off twitter.
>>733767048I was going to say "hyperbole much, it's just a black chick in puffy jacket," but when I opened the image... damn... lmao.
>>733765337Faster
>>733767048why she dressed like spongebob's house?
>>733764136you really don't want to know
>>733759587Bazz VN where you hang out with xhen while working space Amazon when?
>>733761081insane how much more aura and iconicness Bazz has compared to the rest of them
>>733766583>>733767242Highguard just failed, largely by being mocked to death called Concord 2.
>>733766159But you WILL pay for their premium legendary skins right?
>>733767431she does mog them pretty hard, ngl
>>733766235From what I'm told, they have an appreciation of "thing so ugly it's funny" humor so Bazz was hysterical to them.
>>733762689don't lie to yourself. would
>>733767473>it's even worse than you could ever imaginedAMAZING
>>733766425I know what I'm posting in queen of /v/ this year. The Bazz content mill churns on.
>>733766583These are generic but they're not at all Concord-esque. You would never, ever have that assassin girl with the big hips and cleavage in a Concord type mindset, ever, and there's five white characters, out of nine total. They're more copying Fortnite than anything Concord related.
>>733761081everyone is bland, generic and uninspired. at least bazz was distinctive
>>733761081https://streamable.com/qypf40
>>733767523>five white charactersthat's a Mexican and a Chinese guy
>>733767431Most are simply incredibly boring, or slightly baffling. Bazz attains "incredibly baffling" status.
>>733767496>no dickWrong, the cock must stay.
>>733767586They don't look racial enough to be Concord. They just look like dudes. You have to be "authentic" (racist) and diverse. Compare that latino to Concord's.
>>733759640this game has no fansI genuinely wish SKG had been a thing a decade ago and gotten a law ensuring games are forced to have their servers upkept for an arbitrary amount of time solely so I could laugh at Concord more and the fact that Sony would have to waste even more money on that piece of shit
>>733767661Being so stylized does help.
>>733765152it's easy to be a spiteful faggot when it costs you nothing to do soConcord had a 40 dollar entry fee
>>733767664All Sony would have to do is let players run their own servers on Steam, they lose nothing but control (they wouldn't ever let you).
>>733767586That I didn't notice and assumed them white at a glance tells me they are not ready to be in Concord.
>>733766583only the quirk negress is egregious. everyone else looks fine. well maybe the guy on the right is a bit too zesty with his colors.
>>733767740Who would want to play this? The entertainment value is from its failure and the lameness of its designs.
>>73376769340 buck isn't much to ask for a lifetime collectible
>>733762689The best part is that "she" has a cock!
>>733767778If they turned it over to the players and their own servers, there certainly would be enough memelords having fun every weekends, also mods and such
>>733765065the latter is the consequence of the devs only having enough mental capacity for the former
>>733767851It's a generic and forgettable hero shooter with nothing unique to offer.
Did anyone ever rip the models?
>>733767473Looks like when you create your first custom outfit in an MMO and try really hard to color match all of the pieces.
>>733767775>>733767661This is a dude, btw

>>733759587I legit thought it was the king of all cosmos, only to find that its a fucking concord trannie
>>733767449Concord had little to do with it, it's just a bland game made by pulling pieces of other games out of a hat and throwing them together for no reason.

>>733759587The biggest problem with the failure of concord is that thanks to culture war faggots, the narrative is that concord failed because "it was woke". When it failed because it was a trash game, a knockoff of a game that came out 8 years prior, because it didn't have any hooks of it's own, zero interesting or unique aspects. Nothing that made anyone go: "WoW, you need to play Concord, it has [Thing] that Overwatch doesn't have". Plus: The character designs were so shitty, even woke people mocked them. Said the fatso guy looks like he(she? I don't even fucking know)'s a generic guard NPC in a post apocalyptic low budget RPG. You could strip all the woke out of that game, and replace it with something incredibly based, and still no one would play that fucking game. But thanks to the culture warriors, now whenever we talk about corporate failures, we don't talk about shit like Rocksteady being forced to make an always online battle pass looter shooter multiplayer game. We don't talk about Ubisoft making the same fucking game across 20 IPs, We don't talk about any of the shit that makes our hobby a fucking mess any more. We just see the shit games, and instead of analyzing and looking at what actually makes them bad, we're looking for.. fucking pink hair, a lesbian, a fat person, or a nigger and then we just go: "Ah, this explains everything". It's so intelectually fucking empty. "Oh, it must be bad, because everyone I politically disagree with, must be fundamentally incapable of creating something of value" Since when is it that easy? If you truly believe that, then you are just as much a sheep as the fucking wokes. You just have a different dog bark at you.
>>733769814Suddenly...
>>733769847the woke ideology that infested it destroyed many other games of all scales and scopes though. the 400 million could've been spent on the actual game instead of consultants and DEI bullshit.also, you could not actively squeeze out character designs that bad out of anyone that isn't a woke retard.
>>733769847>"culture war faggots">defends ugly shit nigshm...
>>733769946That 400 million was always ear marked for live service sl0p.Don't kid yourself.
>>733769972"the problem isn't JUST that its ugly, its also a bad game, the nigs were just to deflect bad reviews as racist">ugh, hate the nigs in this, ruining a good gameno you tard you've fallen for the jewish ploy to ignore a slop game because baz exists.
>>733769847This is only the case for the echo chamber of 12 year olds who actually watch Asmongold or the jewish propaganda bots who infest /v/. Anyone with actual braincells know the overarching problem is that these megacorporations are completely bloated and slaves to "shareholders" that don't even play video games.
>>733770060>the jewish ploy to ignore a slop game because baz existsSo it was jews all along, they destroyed their WOKE game by adding ugly people, yes...
>>733770163>>733770060>>733769847how do we solve the J-question, chat?
>>733769972i will never understand how pointing out the glaring flaws in terrible games is suddenly "grifting" now
>>733764707yeah it got you good
>>733769847>You could strip all the woke out of that game, and replace it with something incredibly based, and still no one would play that fucking game*citation needed*
>>733770243>grifting>Asmongold really hitting the leddit buzzwords>>733770325LMAOwho said tr.00ns have no sense of humor???
>>733769972How is he defending them? He's clearly saying the character designs became all people mentioned as to why it failed, when everything about the game was soulless and tired, not just the character designs.
>>733770163the problem is telling the truth has become punishablelook at what happened to james watson discoverer of DNA
>>733761081
>>733764629He looks like a polish truck driver
>>733769946What you are correctly identifiying as the problem here is: Corporate slop. Not "woke". Saying "it is because of woke" is just propaganda. Look how low the bar for woke is. ANYTHING that isn't inherently right wing, can be described as woke. A black character? A gay character? Literally just a woman? The current hot thing to be called woke is: "Women who aren't peak sexy". So all you need to do is: Wait for something to flop, find something in it that you don't like (In Concords case it was the shitass character design), say that it's woke, and then blame ALL the failures on the woke. Corpos will always missmanage games. spend 500mil on promotion instead of on the game, the problems we have in the industry, are not woke. Woke is annoying because it's a political agenda you don't agree with. But do you think wokes came up with Battlepasses?Fomo?Always online?Games as a service slop?Looter shooters?edgeless dialogue that sounds like a disney originals movie?Needing to sell 1 billion copies to break even on production?>you could not actively squeeze out character designs that bad out of anyone that isn't a woke retard.Of course you could. Talent isn't bound to woke or unwoke. There are great artists who are hella woke, and great artists who are hella right wing. But on both sides, there always is ability to create utter fucking trash. Shadiverse is super anti-woke and look at the shitass AI art he squirts out of his ass. Meanwhile some wokes create hella sexy goth girls. And the other way around, obviously. To choke it all up to "woke" is to say: "Everyone who disagrees with me, must be to incompetent to create anything of value" and that's just retarded. Look at the shitass movies the Daily Wire made for the right wing. Do you think it would be fair to point at them and say: "Ah, you see, clearly right wingers can't create anything of worth. Look at the fucking trash they created. Look at Ben Shapiro trying to be funny in Ladyballers."
>>733764137>civilization viihuh?
>>733769847>You could strip all the woke out of that game, and replace it with something incredibly based, and still no one would play that fucking game. it's funny how "based" (right wing) is synonymous with high quality and "woke" (left wing) is synonymous with extremely low quality in current year lmao
>>733770031sure thing kim belair
>>733765337
>>733770413>>733769847If the characters are shit ugly no one is going to pay up to try it in the first place, Apex was free, ugly and good.Your verbiage will not salvage the devs from your ideological failures.
>>733769015I can't find news about this garden anywhere. Did normalfags memory hole it?
>>733770546corposlop existed even before anita sarkeesian began to infect the industry, so point invalidated.
>>733766858that's the exact kind of humor we're talking about just go back already, niggertranny
>>733770647Tell that to Arc Raiders
>>733770652I just Googled "CHAZ garden" and got a million relevant results.
>>733770652from what I recall, it wasn't at the CHAZ zone place, but another adjacent protest in a college or another town over, but reportedly to be from there by anons and twatters
>>733770378You tell me right now. Right fucking now, that if I modded Concord to change the shitass character designs to be different versions of Eve from Stellar Blade in her bikini outfits and maybe an SS uniform, that you would main Concord and think it was unironically a great game. Because that is what we're talking about here. The problems run SO MUCH DEEPER than just "woke designs". You need to open your eyes, and learn that all the fuckers who have you angry at woke, they just want your money. They want your clicks. They want your votes. The more they have you angry at woke, the more they profit from making anti-woke content. And as long as you hate woke, it works out for you, because you can fuel your hate with anti-woke content, and you can confirm your world-view that everything bad in the world, conveniently comes from the people you already hate. But if you're a gamer, and you care about good vidya, being anti-woke does NOTHING for you. Because if you removed all woke content from all games, then all of these games would still be fucking shitty. Do you think Redfall would be good without the woke? Would you play forespoken if we modded a white guy as the protagonist? Would you play Anthem??The problem is so much more than just "woke". Woke is an annoyance at best. Like bad CGI in movies. It's annoying when it's bad and obvious, but the reason the movie sucks goes beyond "cgi was bad".
>>733770704>Arc RaidersPublished by gooks, not DEI pushing westoidsI head nothing from culture war addled faggots like you it until it became successful on it's own.And only journals bitching about AI-voices.
>>733759587I'm genuinely curious why /v/ keeps bringing this failure of a game up, like Concord has nothing of value, there's literally nothing to discuss except that it was a massive failure but that's all it has going for it
>>733770775>You tell me right now. Right fucking now, that if I modded Concord to change the shitass character designs to be different versions of Eve from Stellar Blade in her bikini outfits and maybe an SS uniform, that you would main Concord and think it was unironically a great game.yeah make the characters cool, add a satisfying violence and gore system and an aesthetic that's not woke faggot shit for homosexuals and women and the game would be a success
>>733770647You're ignoring the point, which is that the entire game was fundamentally broken as an idea, the character designs are only the most visible part.
>>733770775First Descendant is a sexed up Warframe and it did well on debut catching people'd eye, but rapidly lost their audience.And it was F2P as well.So you are full of shit.Pretending to care about games when all you want to do is keep you DEI kikes in place.
>>733759587Who is that, what is tha-
>>733764954>>733764915>>733762020>>733761790its a part of very grey as fuck scheme to over value something and then claim insurances or some shit
>>733761081There's this one
>>733770775Any devs who would be allowed such creativity would automatically make a better game.Woke DEI and soulless live sl.op go hand in hand, they are corpo bloat market analysis driven projects meant to create make-work for parasites.
>>733770647apex latest character is not ugly though. it is appealing to the infantilized emasculated soichild redditor audience though. but it's nowhere near as extreme as concord
>>733770968BAZZ is a force of nature.
>>733770842You sound like you don't actually play games and just spend all day on twitter.
>>733770923The nature of its failure is entertaining. This is hardly the only business venture or media that failed and left an amusing story.
>>733770986No, the "400 million!" number was just made up by a random culture war youtuber based on nonsense. It just sounds good to throw into a headline and repeat, even if it's preposterous.
>>733759640Trvke
>>733770546>>733770775You seem really desperate to shift perspective for the cause of failure. Woke isn't just repulsive designs, it's a philosophy down to the core of the development. Bad ideas aren't shot down under woke leadership, or you get canned for being some form of ist or phobe to protect their weak egos. Traits that have no correlation with product quality like sexual identity are sought after. The woke environment balloons development costs and lengthens dev time because of all the inane BS you need to enable. That dysgenic look these games all have is just the most visible symptom of the disease. Doesn't matter if people can't tell you exactly what causes a canary to go silent in a mine shaft. They still know that it's a bad sign.So yes, if these games weren't woke, they would have been much better, and you are a disingenuous nigger playing defense for an ideology of failure.
>>733771062>accuing others of what you are doingclassic might as be a bot
>>733759640>fansWho?
>>733770580Eh, "based" is used by wokies as well. Put a tranny in a game killing nazis, "incredibly based". It tends to just mean: "The cool thing I support". If you're a wokie that's leftie shit, if you're a chuddy, it's right wing shit. >>733770647Some truth in that: But here's the thing: The character design was bad independetly of being "woke". As evidenced by the fact that wokes mocked the designs as well. It wasn't "woke design" it was "terrible design". if it was just woke, the wokes would have said: "Concord character design is good, actually". >>733770653Anon... anon think about this again. It CONFIRMS the point. It doesn't invalidate it.>>733770872This also is a huge issue with modern media slop. Hacks like Kurtzman and other talentless corpo bastards keep being handed the reigns to franchises, because "they made money at one point, 30 years ago", and now they are "established" in the industry. Risk aversion. go with what you know can make money, instead of what might make money maybe.
>>733770948No that IS my point. And the point is that these issues go so much deeper than "there was woke in it" these are deeply set corporate decisions, that were not made because of woke. But woke was blamed, so that the culture war can keep burning hot. >>733770951So you're saying it wasn't woke and flopped too? Exactly what I'm explaining here? That the problem isn't the woke, it's the shitass game?
>>733771039>>733771186it's an FPSyou're not even gonna see your unitit's just silly

>>733771241Yes, I don't see anything wrong with it myself.Mutts are so thin-skinned.

>>733771093>No, the "400 million!" number was just made up by a random culture war youtuber based on nonsense. It just sounds good to throw into a headline and repeat, even if it's preposterous.If true that would be the entire 8 years of development, plus hiring outside studios to finish it (because Firewalk was as bad at programming and management as art design), and buying the initial studio to begin with. I would be shocked if that was less than 400 million.
>>733771261>lies: southeast asian women are ugly>reality: they're pretty
>>733771359/pol/ and Discord tourists are inane
>>733771360so there was capital expenditure upfront, that makes more sense
>>733770923Is this your first time on the internet?Bungie pays indians to shill it, its the same exact shit over and over, like any modern multiplayer game. A few trolls who roleplay as them gets mixed in and that is all there is.The funny part is the anti Arc Raider propaganda as they badly want that playerbase, notice how they never go for Tarkovfags, despite the same premise.
>>733771194You accused that if Concord had different designs it would be defended and mained here, implying actually well liked DESPITE other problems. Given example of such a game failing you move the goalpost to that.
>>733771360I don't think you have the slightest clue about video game development.
>>733771029>>733771118Again. You're making it too easy on yourself. You're just seeing something you hate, like niggers, faggots, pink haired women, and you're telling yourself that these are fundamentally so inhuman that they are incapable of creating anything of value and need to corrupt and destroy everything you love in order to push out this shit because they want it as propaganda for their side. This is nonsense. Again: you just need to look at shit like "Chad vs the gay nazis" or "Ladyballers" to see that political orientation and levels of wokeness is not synonymous with level quality. You see everyone who is against your political views as woke, and you see everyone who is woke as the same. When again: A bunch of this shit that you call "woke trash" is hated by wokes as well. Wokes like edgy and sexual content. They're all annoyingly kinky. Wokes like good, deep stories, with flawed characters. You see some corpo bastard steal progressive language, and get some headlines for "inclusion" and then think that "wokes" ASKED for Star Wars: Acolyte, when in reality they want Star Wars: Andor.

>>733771473>you in charge of reading comprehension.The logic goes:>Concord character design is woke>Concord failed because it is wokeThis implies that if you believe that concord truly failed because it was woke, you think it is actually a great game worth playing, but nobody liked the woke character designs, and thus it failed. MY ENTIRE POINT, is that Concord failed REGARDLESS of the woke, because the underlying game was boring trash with no hooks, no originality, and no ideas you fucking retard. Post hands to prove you're not a shitskin, right now.
>>733771517>Wokes like good, deep stories, with flawed charactersBold faced lie.
>>733770164no you retard, they made you ignore that the game was an excuse to launder 4 million, because you assume it all went to "diversity decisions" just because theres ugly characters.

>>733771638why is that nonsensical? Think of Concord as a game that wasn't made once, it was half made several times over, and probably has 2-3 game dev cycles of development in it.Sega's Hyenes was at least 100 million dollars, the most expensive game Sega ever made. https://www.eurogamer.net/cancelled-loot-shooter-hyenas-allegedly-segas-biggest-budget-game-ever-new-report-claims1. 8 years is a long time. Firewalk studios needed to be paid for every day they worked on the game. We have seen other studios spin their wheels and it seems to be a "disease" that is happening with American studios. 2. They also bought the entire studio and their upcoming IPs. lol. 3. Firewalk was so incompetent, that they had to hire additional outside studios. This is extremely expensive as they have to effectively remake much of what Firewalk did. Look at the Credits which are over an hour long. Everyone had to be paid. They didn't work every day for 8 years, some only worked briefly, but it's a huge undertaking by MANY people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfbu0De0oBU

>>733771989Unironically true.I'd imagine Concord lives rent-free in every AAA western devs' head.
>>733772049I'd be too if my beliefs and worldviews were behind the biggest flop in the history of video games.
>>733767048Honestly it is so ugly it almost loops back around and becomes interesting, like a thought experiment of how far one can go.
>>733772094See, that's what I mean, I think if they kept supporting it would have a niche of hipsters and racists to keep the game going for a while.
>>733767048Wish someone took a shot from the side because the extra-long visor in combination with the night vision goggles that can't be properly pulled down now needs to be seen to be believed.
>>733772283This image actually works in the weird french comic way.
>>733771685They do. Listen, anti-woke culture warriors paint wokes in the worst light. And don't get me wrong, a lot of wokes suck in a lot of ways. But they are, for the most part, human. They too, enjoy deep stories, they enjoy horny stories, they enjoy edgy stories. Counter to popular belief, they even like sexy female designs. Hell, they go all "Spit in my mouth, mommy" Whenever they see a sexy goth. Remember this dude? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2Y5KVtU810 He got bullied off the internet for making a cringy song about how much he likes different types of girls. But one thing wokes tend to dislike is: When media has bikini bimbos who JUST exist to be a pair of tits to oogle at. So they say "Uuhm honey? That's kinda problematic, not a good look. This isn't it". But you take the same titty monster and make her a fully fledged character? Wokies love it. Look at Baldurs Gate 3, Look at Cyberpunk, Look at Euphoria, Look at Game of Thrones before it fell apart, Look at Dispatch. Wokies love good shit. I mean fuck. look at "go woke go broke". If they went woke, why do you think there aren't fucking hordes of wokes out there, making it a hit? Because wokes didn't ask for shitty media with no edge and no quality. It's all fucking billion dollar companies taking progressive language in order to try and appeal to the masses and seem less evil. Do you think Disney cares about gay rights, when they put a 0.5 seconds gay kiss in a movie, that they cut out in less woke countries? Obviously fucking not. It's a smokescreen to sell shit to normies. Stop being faggots, stop looking for woke or not woke. Start looking for quality. IF BG3 and Cyberpunk are fun to play, just play it and don't care about woke. If Concord is shit, don't play it and say the reasons it's not fun, instead of just saying "it was made by people I don't politically agree with and that's why it's bad".
>>733771923>>1. 8 years is a long time. Firewalk studios needed to be paid for every day they worked on the game.That sort of scenario assumes that each day of those eight years had an AAA giant dev team working round the clock. That's just not how video game production works. There are stages and you do not need a full dev team until it is in full production, and even then, they vary in size and are often at their largest during the final stretch of the game, the usual "crunch time". Concord was stated to have entered full production in 2022, not 2016, that's just when the idea first became a project. Hell, Firewalk wasn't even founded yet in 2016, it was founded in 2018 under ProbablyMonsters, then bought by Sony in 2023 The reported budget for the game in 2019, when Firewalk was owned by ProbablyMonsters was 50 million. That's before Sony got on board. The idea that somehow an additional 350 (itself much larger than the notoriously overbudget Spider-Man 2 that had issues putting it 45 million over the intended budget, from 270 to 315) was spent on the game in is just not plausible. As for the credits, any AAA game nowadays has credits that long. Assassin's Creed Shadows had TWO HOUR long credits, but the only indication of that game's budget we got was that it was "over 100 million", not exactly a range you would give if it was 200 or 300 or 400 million. So long credits don' tell you anything.

>>733759587Because its downfall resonates more than ever, especially with the gaming crash happening all around us.And those retards in the West STILL refuse to understand. The lesson MUST be repeated, until the baying of the sheeple falls silent.
>>733772065Firewalk's fate will be theirs soon. And they know it.
>>733787624A game that actually went out of control and ballooned its budget was Spider-Man 2, it was budgeted at 270 million, already making it one of the most expensive games, and issues with cinematics caused it to go overbudget wildly, by over 40 million, ending at 315 million, which affected its success even though it sold a lot. You're saying Concord somehow went 200 million overbudget from the reported 200 million budget by the time it was in full production in 2022 and under Sony rather than their original owner/publisher? How? Just going "uh well, expensive rent" doesn't cut it, Insomniac and Naughty Dog are in California too, and are far larger devs than Firewalk would have been, especially earlier in development.
>>733769847they literally advertised the pronouns in the top right of the screen retard
What is it about the design of Bazz that's so good?
>>733761081daw is a guy?
>>733766583I don't know why but none of these designs really look like combatants to me. Like if you took away all the weapons this would just like like a cast of tumblr dating sim characters. Honestly you could keep the axe and hunting bow/guns and I'd just assume that's like their hobbies or something.
>>733794140What am I looking at here?
>>733794395when news came out that the game was gonna shut down, people were killing themselves to get achievements faster iirc
>>733793486It's incredibly terrible in the most absurd, ridiculous way.
>>733794395People noticed you got almost the same amount of points for a quick loss compared to a quick win, so when the game was announced as going offline, they were rushing to get the platinum trophy before it disappeared forever, leading to matches where the goal was to kill yourself as fast as possible.
>>733793486He could easily pass for a Cartoon Network villain character. It's not the design itself that is bad, it's the premise that it's supposed to be taken seriously.
>>733760070>>733760784is that not the king or whatever?
>>733794462>>733794848Didn't they also remove the achievements from people's accounts when the game shut down too?
>>733794932No, the design is also fucking terrible and ridiculous, which makes it really funny. Bazz being a corpo tranny with box cutters just adds to it.
>>733759587
I always imagine Bazz speaking with the voice of Audrey II/Captain N Mother Brain.>FEED ME, SEYMOUR
>>733795214Pretty sure they did, at least on Playstation
>>733790850ProbablyMonsters secured 250 million in funding before Sony bought out Firewalk from them.Up until recently none of PM's other studios made or even announced any games so most of that probably went into Concord.Now add the buyout, all that shit like the Secret Level episode, the weekly cutscenes, trailers, webisodes and whatnot and it adds up to a hefty sum.
>>733767473Im in awe with that motherfucking BOWEL armor.
>>733795216Ridiculousness can be its own appeal, and the "character lore" only serves to multiply it to a highest degree. It's a great combo.
>>733796752The Secret Level episode is not included in the game's development budget, dummy. That's not how licensing works. The production company behind Secret Level eat that cost.
>>733759587They keep releasing games in the series.
>>733796752>ProbablyMonsters secured 250 million in fundinghttps://variety.com/2019/gaming/news/harold-ryan-probablymonsters-game-studios-1203363392/They had multiple studios, not just Firewalk, and they have four games listed on their website, including two released ones, so I don't know where you're getting the idea that they haven't announced any games.
>>733797181>I don't know where you're getting the idea that they haven't announced any gamesUP UNTIL RECENTLY - learn to read.None of them were announced until last August and most of them don't exactly scream "high budget".
>>733760297Westcuckbros, how to respond without sounding mad?
>>733759640No one else is going to think about concord and it's such a bizarre mystery that it came to be into existance. I want a tell all documentary interviewing everyone involved and explaining what the thought process was with actual questions so we don't get shit like>we thought it was great>we designed bazz to be a powerful strong xymwn of the future>the playtesters loved it an said it was amazing. the ones who didn't we fired immediately after getting constructive criticism
>>733761203Hyenas was purposefully, aggravatingly ugly and that more than Concord. Between the nappy haired sheboon, the Nixon mask and the Drag Queen Trans, everything was constructed to be as visually revolting as possible So sad this vile shitheap was canned before release. The fact that Sony went ahead and said yes, and financed this should warrant punishment
>>733766210Shooting shit with /v/bros is the best desu
>>733801939lol
