>The lead singer of Imagine Dragons helped create a game studio>Advertised it with the band's social accounts (10 million followers) >It has yet to reach over 600 concurrent players on Steam.Who can even make a GaaS in this market??!!
>>737146778Wtf is that? Wait, is that Bazz on the left?
I even heard them advertise this on my local radio station
kek
Impressive
I'm not sure how the lead singer of a band is supposed to be a selling point for a video game outside of the actual soundtrack.
>peddling live service scams>going bust#ManySuchCases
>>737146778"Even imagine dragons" like thats a selling point, people hate those niggas
>>737148425Why do they keep having their songs used for stuff then?
>>737146778...just looking at the pic this could be from any random online game from marvel rivals to overwatch etc.. these games look all the same and have all the same artdirection if you didnt tell me i wouldnt even have known this was a different game
I wish all these live services got mashed together in a sort of party game where each turn is a single match on one of these games, decided at random.
GaaSisters…what should we do? We just can’t stop losing.
MY GAME'S NOT VERY ACTIVENOT VERY ACTIVE
>>737148743I kek'd, nice.
>>737148584they're all made with the same couple of engines and they're all trying to look and play like whatever was last successful, of course they're impossibru to tell apart
>>737146778Awwwwww sheeeeit it's my nigga Baz!
>>737150415I had a look and sure enough it's made with unreal.
>>737146778There's just no way they didn't knew of the similarities with Bazz when making the character on the left, it had to be on purpose, but what was the purpose I wonder. Was it a "hey we can pull this hairstyle, shades and coat but do it right with a cute girl"?>>737148592I wish we could get all the characters from all the woke flopped games mashed together in one game, but done either more funny like a parody or more sexy for the few salvageable ones.
>>737146778Why is Trent Reznor making a video-game?
I genuinely don't know who likes pop music in 2026.
>>737151365>I wish we could get all the characters from all the woke flopped games mashed together in one game, but done either more funny like a parody or more sexy for the few salvageable ones.Call it deadgame$
Robbie Williams should get a monke game

Its an indie game, you people are obsessed
>>737146778Vin Diesel started his vanity game company and made single player games that used his image like Riddick and Wheelman with help from other real game developers.Lead singer of Imagine Dragons was a fucking idiot.
>>737154283Actually it’s a die’in game
>>737146778>calarts style>black girls>black people at all>imagine dragonsdoomed to fail. how big was the budget?
>>737146778That shit is so incredibly troon coded with the character. You can see how it holding itself back before inserting trans flag colors.>>737151365baz should be a licensed to make guest appearances in other games like Tekken. She's that known.
>>737146778This isn't deadlock?
>>737146778I don't want to play as a squad of lumbersexual canadians.
>>737148269>didn't even reach Concord's maxFucking OUCH
>>737148425who do people like then?the neighborhood?
>>737148269What were they thinking?
>>737148743I WIPE MY ASS AND I SLAP MY NUTS
>>737155328anon from earlier thread dug up their address and calculated that they spend at minimum 48 million on rent for their luxury vanity studio 5 minutes walk away from closest casino in Las Vegas alone. Put some theoretical cost of living + tax+ tip as estimated salaries and you get ~ 100 million budged before marketing. And that's lowballing barely-getting-by-skin-of-the-teeth, chances are graphics that look like other AAA games (art direction looks stupid but models look like they have comparable polygon count to Overwatch, Concord and rest of the gang) are going to cost way more than just the bare minimum to afford rent and a can of beans.
>>737146778literally never heard of this until now
>>737151365I thought the exact same thing. They clearly tried to make her again
>>737148743lol based
>>737146778I really, intensely, vehemently hate the modern shooter trend of every character being a unique special snowflake who came to a deathmatch dressed their best.I miss the days when your character in a multiplayer shooter was "military man" or "space military man".
>>737146778The funny thing is it probably would have more players if it was a free to play mobile slop with paid skins.
>What if we made AI music without using AI?Do people unironically listen to this garbo?
>>737159883What about Team Fortress 2
>>737146778They're artists, burning money on passion projects and living on the street is how they live best.
What exactly is the sales pitch here? I don't get what the appeal of this video game is intended to be.
>>737160356TF2 characters are, for the most part, just wearing a team colored jacket and brown pants. It's not quite a military uniform, but it is very clearly a team uniform, and without custom cosmetics the outfits aren't overly flashy.I'd compare it to Conker Live & Reloaded's multiplayer. You also had a bunch of classes with unique appearances and (at least for the squirrels) personalities, but they're all very clearly a member of a team as opposed to a unique character who just happens to be on this team this round.
>>737146778i would the twink on the right
>>737146778So is shit just drying up for Tortanic fags or are you just that addicted? Cuz this is a game no one cared about. It wasn't even enough of something to hate. It got showed at SGF, no one cared, it completely fell off the radar, but now you've spent the past week or so making threads for it and trying to build up a flopslop story around it to be able to rip into it. And beyond this, there was that other game a few weeks ago. The wizard moba thing or whatever that literally no one heard of before that point or cared about, but you people were making a ton of threads with minimal replies trying to turn it into a big deal because Quantic Dream were the ones that plopped it out.Like if you have to invest effort to make people aware of a game to hate on it, then that defeats the point of treating it as mass-hateable content.
last fag lol
>>737162659why are you crying tranny?
>>737146778we need more concord likes
>>737159883I feel you. I like plausible combat-minded classes. Not a miscellaneous smattering of nobodies or god forbid, generic off-brand superheroes.
>>737146778whats with all the live service shooter games?
>>737162659Anon....Tortanic was 15 years ago.
>>737146778>Created by the lead singer of imagine dragonsIs not really a good selling point. The music is slop, so will be his game.
>>737146778Even leading with emo lesbians in the trailer couldn't save it. And it should've been obvious why: The game is 1/7th of a multiplayer game. Why would people pay premium money or even MTX to play just one of what used to be standard shooter game modes?
>>737152302new shit is bad but what is worse are new remixes/remakes of old song>hear few notes>I know this song>suddenly its completely garbled>some fag or woman start singing it>all wrongthey all feel completely off
>>737159417This must be some laundering operation, or maybe some nepo day care
>>737148269I guess you could say the game was radioactive
>>737146778Why would anyone who has a completely unrelated skill set decide to risk making a gaas?
Are we having a BLAST???
imagine dragons?how bout you imagine dragons my dick across your face lmaooooo
>>737164179because it's the easiest way to make money off retarded cattle slaves for an extended period of time
>Live serviceHow has word not gotten around that these games are DoA and only if you got in early will you make any money.
>>737148464probably gives good head
>>737146778Why the fuck is "concordlike" an actual unironic genre
>>737165424Because a lot of its issues and its aesthetics both come from design-by-committee, and that sort of aggregation tends to give consistent results.
>>737146778OH THE MISERYEVERYBODY KNOWS i MADE CONCORD 3
>>737148269>23 August 2024wtf Concord din't happen 1 and a half years ago REEEEEEEEEE, make it stop
>>737148373The point is that they had reach.
>>737146778Good. The market voted with its money against ads being the deciding factor in a game's success.
sexo character though
>>737146778I have about 10 game ideas I know would make me rich if I could actually make a game. And no you're not getting them. Kek at stupid faggots like that singer though.
>>737146778This actually seems like a legit good game, it just so happened to come out at the literal worst time that a colorful hero shooter possibly could. What a shame, I'd play it but I fucking hate team-based multiplayer games
>>737151365It's just a generic negress haircut. Combined with her being the smart science negress, going by her character design, it's a pretty logical choice.
>>737151365give prompts
>>737162659Damn you are mad as FUCK lol
>>737163635not him, but that hit me out of nowhere. Watched history happen.
>>737146778>Concord Highguard tags for no reasonEven journalists are milking this trend now?
>American devs: Sure, every other woke coded live service shooter flopped so far but OURS would be different
Looks more like they copied Battleborn designs more than anything desu.
Never heard of this game
>>737167094The line MUST go up, our pie charts predict a 98% chance that this product will revitalize E-sports
>>737146778people want big rpgs not some multiplayer shooter slop.
"devs" will keep making games in the concord-like genre until civilization collapses because they're all funded by non-gamer venture capitalists or non-gamer MBA execs who failed upwards to high paying jobs in the gaming industry despite coming from being money guys at like taco bell or nike or whatever
It is surreal how the people behind these games seem to still believe we are living the infinite growth phase of gaming. There are no untapped demographics anymore.
>>737146778Oh no, lead singer of a one-hit wonder band from Covid from a League of Legends video made a generic wokeslop lobby FPS game and it flopped? How could anyone have predicted this?
>>737148464Its samey generic corporate "heavy bass with a beat". Contracts to license their music for marketing are probably pretty cheap and some cunt in a suit somewhere probably still thinks they're the hip new thing kids love.
>>737152302>I genuinely don't know who likes pop music in 2026.This is a conversation no-one has. Part of what makes modern society suck ass so much is everyone's culture is so divided now thanks to the internet. Like in the 90s, everyone was listening to the same bands, watching the same shows. People would look forward to Thursday nights when a new episode of The Simpsons, Stargate SG-1 and X-Files would air, then everyone would talk about the episode at school/work the next day. Now everyone listens to their own 1000 subscriber "content creator" whether its music, podcasts, books, netflix shows or movies no-one's fucking heard of. There's no unifying culture behind society anymore, fandoms are fragmented and when you combine it with everything being really low quality now, it results in everything sucking ass.
>>737148269Grim
>>737159883What I dont get is why corporate keeps trying to make a hero shooter work over and over and over again when its evident that even Overwatch flopped, PUBG and its clones are all dead and TF2/CS still dominate. Its the same with extraction shooters
>>737154150I wish real Milf would look like that
>>737162659>So is shit just drying up for Tortanic fags or are you just that addicted?We havent had a big flop since Starfield so everyone's jumping on each little flopped game hoping itll be the next big thing. For some reason retards think its more interesting than talking about good games that they like.
>>737170414Footage from every single vidya corporation boardroom.
>>737170468Forgot the link.https://youtu.be/Po4adxJxqZk
>>737146778do we have any live service dynasty warrior games with hack and slash yet? because it seems to me that they are just throwing random darts might as well go full random
>>737148743WELCOME TO THE OFFLINE GAMES, TO THE OFFLINE GAMES
>>737170148The actual developers could not give less of a shit, they're just clocking in to do their job and then clock out like factory workers, the people who actually believe this kind of trash can still be successful are higher ups who barely know what a video game even is
>>737148743Kek, awesome.
>>737170468>>737170529heh hit the nail on the head anon. I guess all it takes to get rich in 2026 is to be really good at a powerpoint presentation.
>>737148743Hehehehehe
>>737170309The sad thing is that we don't even get to have community segregation anymore, everyone is forced to hang out in the same social media space
>>737170464Starfield was a curious kind of flop. It sold very well, even you have to admit that- but it has absolutely *savaged* BGS's reputation.
>>737170628I mean, look at the bullshit like Juicero and Theranos that Silicon Valley VCs threw fortunes at based on good vibes. Good social skills are way more important in reeling the capital in than competence or realistic plans.
>>737170309No, retard. Most people were white christians and lived in cohesive communities. Talking about the same movies was a byproduct, not the source of a unified culture.
>>737170464Starfield is the most successful game of the generation though. Proof that good games sell compared to these concord flops.
>>737146778You people are performative. Just constantly wanting games to fail. I get that misery loves company but this is just corny.
>>737170837Trad larping zoomers trying to talk about things that happened before their dad's condom ripped is so funny
>>737171495What exactly is "trad larping" about what I said, faggot?
>>737146778>>737148269Imagine Players
I'm sick of PvP games being designed to be COMPETITIVE with sweaty low player numbers like 5v5.It's sad that nothing has topped TF2 yet and the closest has been Garden Warfare.
>>737164052A N X I E T YNXIETY
>>737146778Can everyone just stop trying to make a live-service shooter for one moment?
And they even paid a lot of streamers to play it. Kek
>>737170698They lost $100million on it and took em 8 years to make. It was only overshadowed by Sony losing $800mil on Concord a few years later.
>>737171339Nah. No pussy no empathy boyo
>>737154150Rude. It's one of the few songs I can handle on karaoke to not be a weirdo wallflower. My knowledge of popular music has been in stasis for at least 15 years.
>>737170464Are we really pretending concord was a small game now?
>>737148269WHEN YOU BOOT UP STEAMLOOK INTO MY CHARTSIT’S WHERE MY PLAYERS HIDEIT’S WHERE MY PLAYERS HIDEDON’T GET THIS GAMEIT’S DEAD INSIDEIT’S WHERE MY PLAYERS HIDEIT’S WHERE MY PLAYERS HIDE
never heard of it
post the updated CONCORDIAN TIMELINE
>>737146778>Who can even make a GaaS in this market??!!
>>737146778>that character in the far leftThat's literally a design from Concord. Can I assume this and Concord consulted with the same "consulting firm" for designs?
>>737172489>They lost $100million on itCan I see some sauce?
>>737146778STOP MAKING ESG HERO SHOOTERS PLEASE.
Somehow Concord returned
>>737146778Anon this game is that desperate to find an audience it took the "Look we have classes and CTF" and tried getting TF2 youtubers to do ads for it as if anyone is going to look at this and drop TF2 for it even out of curiosity.
>>737146778I played this shit just to see what it was like. It has the same exact problems Highguard did - the flag mechanic doesn't matter. Every game comes down to points, making it effectively a shittier Overwatch. The skills are also ripped straight from Deadlock - one guy has Warden's moveset and another is Vindicta only with Talon's owl.
>>737146778Literally never heard of this game before
>>737171523zommie read the word "Christian" and the kosher antichristian conditioning kicked in. please understand
>>737148464>>737148425okay but Demon is pretty good though, I unironically still have it in my morning run playlist
>>737146778>another live-service game failedIn other news, the sun rose this morning
>>737170414>overwatch flop>pubg dead It's funny that you complain about corpos being out of touch.
>>737146778It's like when concord flopped so hard no one even noticed that dustborn came out. This time with marathon and this shit. And I would have never known about Imagine Dragons if it wasn't for real rock FM meme. There are these fucking band like Coldplay and radiohead that no one likes and they are all the fucking time in the radio.
>>737165371These games take 5 years to develop and by the time concord flopped most of them were so far into the development. And they have been greenlit long time ago and they have already made agreements to paid for the development.
>>737177297why the hell dont they pivot and do something else?
>>737170837Yeah totally, Nirvana, Eminem, Tupac and The Beatles were global phenomenons because of Sunday mass. Same with Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and The Matrix.
