Would it have failed if the market wasn't saturated with hero shooters?
>>735125518It never would have been made if the market wasn't saturated with hero shooters.
>>735125518No, because everything in it fuckign sucks.Also, 'noter one comin'
>>735125518Yes.
>>735125620at least the women are cute, and there's more than one token white man.
>>735125518The first Concord was bleeding edge when there were a lot less, and bleeding edge was a much better game with much better characters
I can't see this game succeeding no matter what. Even if it came out with the best graphics possible, was the first to do whatever the fuck in 2000 or whatever made up year it releases in some alternate reality. Wouldn't matter.Only way it'd work is if you had the hardware from the future and time traveled to show this to people playing pong in 1978 or something. They'd probably still call you a fag after reading Bazz's bio and realizing Daw is a guy though.
>>735125763Or wait it's multiplayer so they won't careKWAB
Yes. Genre saturation aside, the game had other problems.>Dogshit hero design, which means less fanart, cosplays and less porn to spread the game's interest, and also skins that won't sell as well>Wokeslop like pronouns in bio and trans characters>Gameplay was apparently pretty slow>Also, the game had a function where after picking a character for a round, they would be locked out for the rest of the game to incentivise players to learn multiple characters and flex, but really it just forced them off their potential mainsIt maybe wouldn't have died in two weeks if it were the only hero shooter in town, but as soon as a competitor came out with sexo designs, no wokeshit and tighter gameplay that didn't railroad you into swapping, it would have been fucked.
>>735125518It probably wouldn't have succeeded. Aside from the fact that there was some serious DEI going on, the game played slowly, the character designs were terrible, and they had a 40 dollar price tag while the other games were free. It was doomed to fail.
The first impression literally everyone had of it when it was first revealed in that State of Play was >What is this Guardians of the Galaxy ripoff? The whole aesthetic is shamelessly cloning GOTG but only the ugly background characters. Those movies only work because Star Lord (a normal dude) is the lead. None of the Concord cast look like someone that the camera would actually follow in any story. It didn't matter if it was a hero shooter or a single player game, the concept didn't work.
>>735125831>less porn to spread the game's interestI absolutely hate porn, and I hate that it's ever-present everywhere now, but you can tell a lot about the success of a videogame by the amount of porn it has.
if overwatch didnt exist, this wouldnt have been made so the question is stupid
>>735125518Yes it would have failed. The game had less players during it's open play test than it did when it was closed. That's a damning indication the game was trash.
>>735125518Not as hard, but it would've still failed due to utterly hideous character design.
>>735125620They look like crappy cosplayers.Hope Zsa Zsa gets some porn though
>>735125620this looks like the finals but with attractive characters at launch
The market can keep making Concord likes longer than you can remain solvent.
>>735125518I would have survived if it showed an orgy between its characters to own the chuds
>>735125518It might have maintained a higher player count, but for the budget it would still have been a massive flop. They wasted way too much money early on who knows what. The game really needed some single player content, either a campaign or arcade mode, to get pants in seats and build a player base.
>>735125620Which concordlike is this?
>>735125518The issue is that the people making the decisions just have zero clue how gamers actually work.No. You aren't going to entice a significant number of tf2 players away from tf2 by making something in the same genre. Same with overwatch. Your core player base of a game like that aren't in the market for an alternative to the game they've spent a decade mastering and unlocking cosmetics for. Imagine making a moba that is exactly like league, except none of the game knowledge or skills league players already have will carry over, amd then trying to convince them to buy cosmetics and unlockable characters for this new game, and then wondering why they don't make the switch in droves.You can't even get league players to switch lanes.
no, people want hero shooters with cool or cute toons which is why marvel rivals succeeded shortly after this.
>>735127363You think they look bad you should see the thing in that piece of glass you had your single mom take off the bathroom wall
>>735125518The problem wasn't the market, the problem was that Sony put Bungie in charge of all of their GaaS projects, and they proceeded to fuck over literally everything else that was supposed to come out during the PS5's lifespan. They didn't want anything else competing with their own GaaS project, so they did what any jewish piece of shit does with a modicum of corporate power and used it for personal gain at the expense of everyone else around them. Now Marathon finally released and not only have they not confirmed a million sales but the combined playerbase has yet to cross the 100k concurrent players mark. That's half of what an early access indie title is doing right now. I really fucking hope it was worth it for Sony and Bungie.Also, for whatever reason, they chose to launch Marathon on the same day as the unholy pokemon/animal crossing frankenstein spin-off. Nintendo wasted no time in putting out a press release telling everyone that over 2.5 million manbabies and puddingpies bought it instead of Marathon.
>>735125518Hero shooter only works if all the characters are appealing in some way. Like no one cares if they have to switch roles in Overwatch because it has a bunch of neat universally accepted designs.
GUYSGUYS'MEMBER CONCORD?
People forget, but I remember interest practically cratering right on the reveal trailer when it became clear it wasn't a sony rpg/single player game.
Game is too fucking slow, look at this shit:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S27A3-UU5Uw
>>735125518Yes>Shitty characters>Unappealing artstyle>$40 price tag>Questionable gameplay design choices>Weird focus on story for a multiplayer game
>>735130072oh no what's the matter troony is your emotional vitiligo acting up? sympathetic period cramps? manjaw too heavy? hair too sparse?
>>735125518>saturated with hero shootersSuch as? You got a half dead Overwatch and Apex plus Borderlands as your competition. I think you mean FPS in general. In that case I dont think it's going to win players from CoD, BF and CS.
>>735125518It unironically would've done better with>"sexy designs"and I don't mean tits and ass. All the characters looked like a bunch of sexless dorks.
>>735125518Back in my day, a pvp mode like this was made AFTER the 12 hour single player campaign was finished.
