Was the flop of Concord really that big of a deal, or is it just memes? People are measuring failures of games in "Concords" and a game that comes out with DEI shit involved in it is considered a "Concordlike".There's no way the hate for this game was organic.
>inb4 webm
It was funny and entertaining to watch
>>739526890it was genuinely the biggest video game failure since ET, fuck you mean retard?
>>739526890>Was the flop of Concord really that big of a deal, or is it just memes?I don't know anon. Is 400 billion dollar budget a lot of money or is that not a big deal?>People are measuring failures of games in "Concords"No game can fail as hard as Concord, it's more like an exaggeration or a hyperbole to call a game a concord failure.>and a game that comes out with DEI shit involved in it is considered a "Concordlike".Nobody says this but it's true considering the game is clearly highly influenced by DEI. They have a fat ugly black women piloting a giant metal armor suit and a mini-machine gun. Nobody of her health status and gender would be able to do that in real life except with DEI fiction magic. Snap back to reality and join the military instead of sitting on your computer all day virgin.>There's no way the hate for this game was organicWhy is it hard to believe people hated a $40 overwatch clone that released years after hero shooters were a dead genre?Lol.
>>739526890>game published by Sony that cost between $200m-$400m to develop dies in less than a month and kills the development studio too (which Sony acquired)Yes that is a big deal.
>>739526890It was a ridiculously expensive failure. Plenty of games don't make money, but this one flopped drastically, and anyone could look at it for 5 minutes to see it wasn't going to sell.
It's a historic event that will be taught in future game dev college classes, and especially in marketing classes about confirmation bias and the importance of getting feedback early in the process.It's budget was astronomically huge, and Sony actually acquired the studio making it specifically for Concord. The money sunk into it is something like 400 billion dollars. And this game made no money at all in revenue. None. It had to refund everybody who bought the game after shutting down after not even 2 weeks of going live. So not only did the game make $0 it cost them money to operate servers for the 12 days it was live, in addition to its $400 billion production and advertising costs, not to mention the media and merchandise tie-ins they had done prior to release which are now all totally wasted.This game did not break 700 concurrent players on Steam during its first week. It only lost players after the first couple days. It's last few days online, it was sub-200 people. Allegedly, more people bought it on Playstation, but the largest number I heard (which I doubt) was 25,000 units sold. Which were all refunded anyway, so regardless of what it sold on Play Station, it's still made no money.The scale of this bomb is unprecedented, enough to make it historically significant, but it's also the total, absolute rejection of the game despite its total media blitz promoting it that makes it stand out even more.
>>739527243 (me)Also they didn't make a single dollar from this game because they refunded everyone. So the result is $200m-$400m expense, $0 in revenue.
its easy to focus on the woke/dei angle, but it actually doesn't work all that well to explain the reaction to Concord or Marathon. Really this is just a new version of what happened 15 years ago with The Old Republic - like Concord, people hated TOR because it was an expensive, heavily promoted latecomer to an already-exhausted multiplayer trend. Concord was the main product of Sony's ill-fated live service pivot which has left the PS5 with basically no good singleplayer exclusives - likewise, TOR was the product of EA's belief that singleplayer games were dead. TOR was not as big a bomb, but for years afterward /v/ would refer to basically every AAA bomb as a "TORtanic"
Budget: 400,000,000 USD.Pitch to investors: "This is gonna be the next star wars level franchise."Business motto: Toxic Positivity. No negative feedback or comments are allowed when internally discussing the project.Developers: All white guys from failed or defunct studios. They unironically had an animator from Jimmy Neutron doing the animations for this game. (Not a bad thing).They planned to have a massive series called the Freegunner stories and release new content on a weekly basis:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXGwWtCxnWwLol.
>>739527443Not billion. But still bad
>>739526890Yes>There's no way the hate for this game was organic.Cope
>>739527556It's also worth noting that TOR kept getting new content for a very long time, so it wasn't a failure. Concord was taken offline less than a month after release with full refunds issued.
A lot of people throw around Concord-like, without understanding Concord. It's failure was massive, and there wasn't even a hate campaign, but raw indifference. It was positioned by sony to be some grand multimedia universe that presumably would have had spinoffs, toys, movies, shows, etc. It's basically everything people hyped "TORtanic" as being and more.
>>739526890Nearly half a billion dollars investment that was shut down within weeks. To fail that hard was an impressive feat.
>devs still aren't learning from itSay goodbye to Just Cause.
>>739526890Everyone beat me to it. I don't really care to shit on woke games flopping if they're original IPs. But the fact that this game had an astronomical budget and was Sony's next major franchise made it's demise interesting and worth enjoying. The fuck did they spend so much money on this trash? That's like two AAA games worth of budget.
>>739528714It was probably more than half a billion.The game alone was $400 million, but they planned a much bigger franchise. They must have spent a fortune preparing what this anon said: >>739528663
>>739526890Concord is a landmark in videogame history and infamy because it reflects everything that game enthisiasts have warned against over the past decade.
>>739526890It wasn't all hate, most of it was genuine fun as well. When the game -ACKed, /v/ was nothing but Concords threads.
As hard as the shills try, Bazz will NEVER be a funny memeIt’s just forced because she’s a black woman but I’m glad she got shot by the cop in real life(nigger)
>>739526890The development was tone deaf. They didn't even listen to people that played the beta.>Oversaturated market>Characters were objectively unpleasant to look at>Just about every character was black>Characters had pronouns in their biosThis was a combination of two very important things that repeat in western videogames. DEI and bland gameplay.
>>739527593>denied entry by guard who says they don't like your kind there>start shooting up the place because you felt disrespectedwhat did they mean by this?
>>739527443>It's a historic event that will be taught in future game dev college classes, and especially in marketing classes about confirmation bias and the importance of getting feedback early in the process.that's optimistic desu
>>739527593>Developers: All white guysgood try
>>739526890it was if you know any fucking math. wish people made infographics comparing concord to other massive failures. then maybe it'll shut people up
>>739526890Did this board like this black tranny character in earnest or was it just for memes
>>739526890i need to get bazzed
>>739530709I meme bazzI never cared about the gamewhat the fuck is there even to shill at this point? you can't even play it anymoreit's just funny
>>739526890
>>739531329completely absolutely 100% an ironic like
Don't shove ugly characters in your live service game. You have a slim chance that your awful game still succeeds if the characters are attractive enough.
quick, someone post the ice pop gif
>>739531492KEK
>>739531583I like the Doom edit too
>>739531329ironic at first but then they made their own Thuggnificent version and the memes speak for themself
>>739526890Let's see>Between 200 and 400 million of loses for Sony.>It the spooked the hell outta it and caused them to recheck their Live Service strategy, as result several of these games in production were cancelled, causing even more loses.>The Ceo of Sony entertainment of america used to hold absolutely power, he could even command what other subsidiaries of sony do, after the failure of Concord, he was demoted, he now can only command sony entertainment of america and even so he still needs the approval of the Japanese directive.And that is just related to sony, it spooked everyone making live services, some reworked into single player games, other outright cancelled and some idiots keep pushing only to die pathetically (Highguard).
>>739531638Qrd?
>>739531294The people doing the work.Maybe not the "managers" making the decisions and the ideas, lol.
>>739531813tranny that was the model for character in OP chimped out
>>739526890>Was the flop of Concord really that big of a deal, or is it just memes?>There's no way the hate for this game was organic.don't let anyone fucking gaslight you into believing this wasn't organic and wasn't a big deal. Concord was a huge multi-million dollar franchise in planning. They had shows, multi-media, everything lined up.>>739527217>>739527243>>739527429>>739527443>>739527443
>>739531813Asian descend cop was called into checking someone, that someone was a giant "woman" who immediately attacked him with a knife. The cop tried to stop her with a gun, the thing keep slashing and cut his forehead so the cop ended up shooting and the thing died. Twitter never raised shit about this because the evidence of the thing being in the wrong was too high and the cop was technically a "minority" which twitter "defends".
>>739531864The guy who made the repulsive character designs is jewish IIRC
>>739528567TOR is still a thing, funny enough. People still play it, it still gets updates and makes money. Concord is what /v/ wanted TORtanic to be.
>>739531950That’s based. You know if it was a white cop the cops themselves would have had to send him to prison. You can’t even fire at a woman who is trying to throw boiling water on you
>>739526941Bazz love!

>>739532052Is she a fucking fish?
>>739531813former WNBA player was having a "mental health crisis" and had a noise complaint called. An officer made a wellness check on her and she lunged out the door slashing at his face with a knife and continued pursuit until he mag dumped her.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8Onmlfa7ko
Despite Concord being the example, western devs are STILL trying to force DEI GaaS slop down our throats. They don't care. Blackrock has infinite money. They will not quit until gamers are completely demoralized and neutered to quit playing video games so they can fulfill their true purpose: thrown into the meat grinder fighting wars for Israel.Losing a half a billion dollars is nothing. CEOs got paid, shareholders got paid, gamers are distracted by vidya culture war BS while jews buy up homes and sell farmland to China.
>>739532117
>>739526890Yeah, it's actually more organic to like the most inorganic, forced, diversified 50% body type 2, chud-faced women you can put in video games.Actually women like this are MORE sexy than those naked hussies in other games. Like everyone wants to settle down and make a family with her, and that's why they're so upset, they had to take the game down for being too erotic if we're honest.
>>739531813Body cameras on cops single handily ruined the Black Lives Matter movement.
>>739532267bro, Blackrock got out of gaming years ago because they were hemorrhaging too much money.>CEO's got paidCEO's pay is tied directly to the stock valuation. They in fact, did not get paidStop fucking denying the power of the consumer not to consume, this was a once in a lifetime thing where we saw the pigs turn their nose up at the trough.
>>739532203>full BWC releaselolLmao
Zero interest rate policy ended so we'll not see anything like this for a while
>>739532302Well anon, the funny thing is that OP's pic is not a woman, is a man. No, seriously, it is an in universe "T person" with a retarded backstory that avoids making his Grandpa a transphobic by making him sexist instead.
>>739532347kekbut it means "Body Worn Camera" in this case
>>739532389It’s an Amazon worker so it mine as well be a man regardless of gender
>>739532346>once in a lifetimeI mean Marathon seems to have killed Bungie and Fairgame$ recently got a name change or something so that's still going to release.
>>739532203Also the cop wasn't the "wellness check specialist" as the actual one was busy at the moment. Man was send into something he had not training for, he could only use basic "deal with a person with a knife" cop training.
>>739532203Why would she throw her life away like that? She was so young and athletic and still could have been promoted to Hellknight
>>739532346They didn't "get out", they wrote it into legislation, 501(c)(4). They scrubbed DEI/ESG wording across their marketing material after people looked at consumer reports and shareholder meetings. DEI was simply absorbed into internal programs with names like:>Talent Management and Engagement>Talent Strategy>Talent, Inclusion, and Opportunity>Belonging for All>Merit-Based and Opportunity-Based Hiring>Workplace Optimization / Team Cohesion>Corporate Responsibility>Social Impact and Community Investment >Business SustainabilityEach company involved just shifted their language to be non-matching.The issue is that legislation is highly exploitable by foreign entities that want to exacerbate the culture war, racism, religion.This is why games are still allowed to fail upward, by consulting firms still sit on boards, a decentralized network of groups can push any political ideal they want, and useful idiots will latch on, such as the sharp spike in feminine radicalization in media and games. Some of it is organic, and that's the problem. These groups wouldn't even be able to get off the ground marketing wise without starting capital.
>>739532617to be fair i'm not sure there was much more wellness check specialist could've done when the person comes sprinting at you like a ketamine goblin with a knife like -
>>739532203Why do Urbans always sneak attack? It’s kind of creepy
>>739526890Regardless, just as E.T. for the Atari 2600 is remembered as the catalyst of the first gaming crash, Concord will too be remembered for the second. Neither actually caused their respective crashes, but they do both perfectly summarize why the crashes occurred: the first for zero quality control, and the second for unsustainably lengthy and expensive development cycles which result in games for dead trends and studio closures.
>>739526890>is 400 million loss a big deal?Yes.>meme?No.Next question.
>>739527556Yes, concord is exactly like it. Which is why the DEI shit matters. If TOR represented the worst a company could do back then, concord definitely represents that now. Obviously ugly, multiracial freak characters that no one with a sould could have though up in a hero shooters and Sony wants you to be so invested in this live service game even though its so aggressively offputting? Its tantamount to calling you a dumb cocksucker to even suggest you should be interested in this, much less play it for months and years. I dont understand how you faggots keep downplaying just how incredibly tiring woke shit truly is to normal people. Like its the last course of action leftists have, to simply deny they even championed this stupid shit. Like theyre embarrassed by it. People at best tolerated it because it was tied to some well known property like spiderman, but to wanna present it as a new ip thats obviously trying to leech your money and won't even give you the benefit of having a pleasent esthetic? Thats woke in a nutshell. Classic Leftism misanthropy.
>>739532717Not to mention the "woman" being actually a giant, an extremely violent giant.
>>739532697>legislationthe fuck is blood babbling about, this is an investment firm.I know it's comforting to believe there are conspiracies ruling the world. But the truth is everyone really is just that fucking dumb and lazy and short sighted.>they just changed what DEI was called!wow it's almost like being fixated on a fucking acronym was stupid in the first place
>>739532308>black lives matter
>>739532617The only thing the cop did wrong was hesitate and let her close distance. That first slash at his face should have resulted in mag dumping the moment she took a step towards him with that knife in hand after he drew his pistol. Once she wasn't deterred and advanced on him he should have treated her like she had a head full of PCP and couldn't be reasoned with so the only thing that'd stop her is blood loss or a CNS hit.Like don't even stop shooting expecting pain compliance at that point.
>>739532202>she
>>739532826"CNS"?
>>739532892Well, that guy managed to calm down that extremely ugly thing that broke into his house claiming he was "Harry Dresden" by just talking.
>>739532949Yes but old Harry was not a negro
>>739532785I gave you the code to look it up yourself, I see you'd rather remain ignorant. I'm guessing you're a shill, running cover ops, considering you won't even acknowledge the legislation or how people with money can influence politics.
>>739532898central nervous system, brain or spinecops aim for center mass so there's a possibility of hitting the spinal cord and paralyzing them if you get lucky.
>>739533003He was literally that ugly "drawing" (actually just edits of a photo) shit people in this forsaken place love to spam together with that fucking frog.
>>739532052>>739532841so i don't actually know anything about concord so i looked this up>Bazz (she/her) was once heir apparent of the Crescent Moon crime syndicate. However, leadership has traditionally been passed down the male line for generations, and Bazz was passed over after her gender transition. Refusing to yield to a less qualified heir, she struck out into the Wilds to forge her own destiny as a Freegunner.doesn't that mean the evil crime syndicate was respecting her transition?
>>739526890>There's no way the hate for this game was organic.you have no idea how pissed I was to see this bullshit being spammed because snoy bought EVO while I'm trying to watch my fightan
>>739532826You know, I have been thinking, considering how big the target was, wouldn't have been a better idea to shot her to the knees so she falls but is not in immediate danger of dead?
>>739533206Yes.Her father was very supportive
>>739526890>heir to a fortune>troons out >no longer heir
>>739534296no.you never do that.you are only authorized to use a firearm on someone who is an imminent threat to your life or someone else's life. You aim center mass, because that's the most likely that you'll hit while under pressure that'll most likely stop the assailant.if you are aiming for appendages a lawyer prosecuting you will tear you apart pointing out that you must not have felt in danger for your life if you were aiming for smaller body parts taking the chance at not stopping them. ASAP.
>>739534457That's...bullshit.
>>739532052my bazzfu...
>>739534505not just from a legal standpoint, you are taking huge risks trying to aim for appendages on someone who is attacking you, you miss, you get gutted.and even if you hit, you can hit their femoral artery and still kill them anyway.Best not to take chances and maximize your own chances of surviving.aim center mass. They've forfeited their life by attacking you while you're armed with a firearm.
>>739527443I think it will happen again.
>>739534505Your reaction is why firearm training should be mandatory. Ignorance leads to beliefs like you should treat life or death situations as if it's a video game.
>>739534457Wait, are you saying that in a situation where your life or someone else's is in actual danger without doubt you must either use lethal force or not force at all? If you managed to subdued the danger by hurting them but not killing them that means you can get sue to hell and back? Well, that sucks man.
>>739526890Yes it was a big deal.
>>739534562Go faster...
>>739534654if you're using a firearm, yes, because every bullet must be treated as if it could kill someone. So you never use a firearm unless the intent is to possibly kill them.If you're using non lethal like a taser or physical force sure you can use that with somewhat less restrictions.But if you're using a firearm you'd legally be a fucking moron trying to hit legs or hands.
>>739533206It's likely they planned on writing a typical "men bad women good" storyline, then a real black transgender was cast and whichever role went to him became trans, no matter how little sense that makes.
>>739534296Which scenario is preferable?>Shoot them in the leg>If you don't miss they are still able to chase and stab you>You bleed out and die.Or>Mag dump center mass>Target goes down
>>739534819Ok, that makes sense and at least you guys protect your cops when they are truly forced to deliver lethal forced UNLIKE MY COUNTRY WHERE THEY PUT COPS THAT SAVED LIVES FROM FUCKING MILITARY ARMED CRIMINALS ON TRIAL BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE LAWS THAT PROTECT COPS!
In the grand scheme of things it wasn't a big deal because the industry is just repeating the same mistakes anyways, and all the people responsible metastasized throughout the industry like a cancer. It was just a cathartic opportunity to laugh at some of the people who have done their utmost to make gaming and life in general less enjoyable for around twenty years now.
>>739531813this happened literally across the street from where I was working as I was laughing at a concord thread.
>>739534902it's kinda the same rules for civilians in the US. If you have reasonable belief that your life is in danger you can use lethal force, but if you pull a gun on someone just to threaten them hoping for them to stand down and don't fire it, you actually can get charged with brandishing. Same thing with firing "warning shots" you can't do that. If you draw a firearm you're now committed to shooting them until they're no longer a threat to you.So you only draw a firearm if you or someone else's life is in imminent threat of death or grievous harm, and only when you're committed to using it. Anything less and a lawyer can argue you weren't justified in drawing the firearm.
>>739527017I honestly wish it thrived though. Could have been a lolcow we milked for years, and a dei lightning rod. Forcing them to defend it year after year.
>>739526890Concordlike is not only DEI shit, needs to be a live service game that can die too, hero pvp recommended. The latest concordlike was Highguard aka Geoff humiliation ritual
>>739527429>Plenty of games don't make money, but this one flopped drastically, and anyone could look at it for 5 minutes to see it wasn't going to sell.That last part was the one that really makes it significant. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knew, from the very first trailers, that this pile of shit would flop hard. The characters were utterly disgusting to look at. The only people who didn't seem to realize it were at Sony. The whole expensive failure was totally avoidable. All they had to do was have one (1) person who actually plays games look at what they're doing, and listen to what he says. Clearly that didn't happen.This tells us two things: 1) There is no one at Sony who has the slightest idea what a good videogame looks like2) If there is, that person is intimidated into silence through a company culture that discourages internal criticism and company introspection
>>739532761>>739532761Real story is MBAs have no idea what's hip. They tried this, it failed, they still made record profits at Sony, got a new Porsche and new tits for the mistress well you whined about DEI.It was dumb, they would rather have had the 400m, but you got to break some eggs to make an omelet. You fags would have rejected God of War for being to DEI.
>>739532052WOULD
>>739532697>501(c)(4)Why do we need ESRB again? This basically makes it official that video games are exclusively AO.
>>739535439>MBAsIt's not that, it's that these companies get their market research from reddit.
>>739532052My dick has never been harder.>>739533206Its so bad it good than bad again.
>>739535570We are saying the same thing though.
>>739532432they could have used "BC" as the acronym someone absolutely knew what they were doing.
>>739535202Yeah. Character designs were visually repulsive, people weren't looking for yet another online hero shooter and it hit a niche sci fi aesthetic that doesn't even appeal to people who want more sci fi. Before spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a game, you'd expect some market research to figure out how much it's likely to sell. Either the market research team is incompetent, or they said it won't sell and Sony paid for it anyway.
>>739526890Stupid nigger.It's the biggest media flop in history and every urinalists is hiding it under the rug because they are in sony's payroll.
>>739535841They are hiding it because there is no way in hell they can discuss it honestly. If they discussed it honestly, they would have to utter some form of the phrase "a game where every character is a gross ugly niggertranny cannot sell" and that goes against everything they've been publicly preaching since 2010.
>>739532052
>>739526890>There's no way the hate for this game was organic.What do you think it was then? A shadow push from the government to fail this game?Players didn't like it. Doesn't get more organic than that.
>>739527443well, the studio making it was being SOLD with concord.firewalk studios is basically a shellcompany made by probablymonsters, who have done the same thing they did with concord multiple times.
>>739536204I mean it was 70% organic. I have doubt the trolls let this opportunity go.Pozzed=America=Bad, now hate your democrat neighbour, well we tell Reddit it only flopped due to Racists=America=bad, hate your republican neighbour's.https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamingcirclejerk/comments/1d52l06/gamers_reaction_to_the_new_game_concord
>>739535617thats a fake.the original concept art was thismore salvagable with a suit that fit the backstory, but still ugly and fucked.
>>739536570Why did they give her blue lips? That design choice only works on girls with extremely frigid color schemes.
bungie's downfall is actually significantly worse than concord, which was already a disaster.
>>739526890People think it's funny. That's it.
>>739537283retarded ugly woman/trannies just do that.personally I am still annoyed about the flags and water bottlethe shitty backstory they wrote had her as part of this clan living in a junkyard planet that built power armor to scavenge betterso she had that backpack, a water bottle, and some marker flags.that got changed to random shiny baubles on her waist and one fixed flag behind the left shoulder that does fuckall but is REALLY reinforcedconcord is a hilarious failure from the concept art, to the backstories, to the character models, to the skins, to the gameplay.
To put into perspective, not even DISNEY, yes Disney, or Hollywood for that matter, lost this much money in a flop. Sony geniunely thought this would be their star wars and kickstart a multi billion franchise.
>>739537672I noticed that when sony fucks up they just double down and hope for the best.Marathon is the second example of this.With concord someone MUST have realized they got sold a lemon.SOMEONE had to know.But sony doubled down and spent an extra 200 million to try and make it work.
Was Concord a record breaking flop destroying DEI forever or is Sony just *that* incompetent? There was like 0 marketing for it, its just some generic point and shooty, people only know about it because every character is ugly and it died under a month, but somehow Sony spent FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS on it? And now Sony is losing BILLIONS from Bungie, who had a well established franchise and an up and coming flavour of the year game coming out? Concord could have been the best game ever and I think Sony would have still bungled it
>>739526890>There's no way the hate for this game was organic.
>>739537896its both.sony got conned by a known conman studio that only sells shitty doomed-to-fail studios and half-complete games to people.
>>739537553Financially for sony, sure.But from a backing perspective, sony had a lot of expectations for concord.
>>739537896The president also destroyed every alternative funding so DEI games are slowing down dramatically since they have to fund it themselves now.
>>739537896DEI isn't dead it's just being restructured and branded under multiple labels and dialed back in marketing (which accounts for most of Concord's budget).We wouldn't have Highguard, Marathon, Relooted, Mixtape, and Trannyguard if it was gone forever.
>>739538059Never happened retard
>>739538148Mixtape isnt DEI, it's funded by hardline conservatives to push for white supremacy.
>>739526890Yeah. Big step in killing woke shit from gaming.
What you need to understand is that the way they have been pitching these shit games is that an audience exists for them. It is a fucking lie. Investors need to get it that the gamble is fucking bad and let it stand as a historical record that this DEI shit is not good but poisonous in gaming from a cost perspective. Little achieved and cost too high. Sure they might break even eventually but they are starting to sweat when never failed marketing tactics are not even enough to recoup losses in 3 years time. The data they have been using is flawed. The are coming to realize they have been swindled by conmen and listening to the wrong things about what people want. 2 decades of being wrong almost 3 now. The only way this shit stands is if it is maliciously designed from the top up. If that is the case we just need to boycott AAA and it will be the FIRST industry in the world where all the consumers have revolted setting a very dangerous precedent.
>>739538439Obviously not
>>739538380You're saying its a falseflag?

>>739535161>Could have been a lolcow we milked for yearsWe got like a year of nonstop youtuber videos angry about it, shit was getting old.
>>739537776The stupidity and having to save face is honestly mindboggling. They lsot 765 million on Bungie and Marathon and they're torching everything else to keep that game afloat because they can't admit that they royally fucked up a second time.
>>739534562
>>739538981>>739534562Would you a Bazz?
>>739537896Good marketing can get gamers to buy literal dog shit games. Look at Anthem. The hype was so huge for that game. I've never heard of single person who had heard of Concord before the beta starting getting mocked on you tube a few months before release. I just seemed to come out of no where, die, and disappear in such a short time.
>>739539163That's funny because sony actually had huge marketing behind it.
>>739526890Technically a big deal, it was a hilarious failure, but as far as /v/ is concerned, yeah it's just memes. Many flops come out at different levels of bad, but for obvious reasons the "woke" ones get piled on. Like dustborn(?) was just some shitty rhythm game with a nonsense story, that I wouldn't have ever even heard of if it didn't get spammed on here. I guess the best godawful metaphor I can use here is: Concord was a man in a tall hat falling backwards on his ass, and /v/ decided that needed weeks of discussion hollering and laughing at just how crazy funny that was to see and hear, and saying that it's his own dumb fault for wearing a tall hat, and tall hat wearers can all expect such a fate. Speaking of hats>The tinfoil hat stuffI don't think there's any conspiracy going on. It's just more fun and discussion worthy to make a spectacle of something. Truthfully it enamored me too Baz's design more than any marketing or cinematics or gameplay kit could've hoped to do (given those had net zero impact on my interest). It's a perfect storm of bad decisions. Overwatch went with Archetypes for the most part, and a hero theme- the mysterious wanted heroic gunslinger, the old soldier tired but unsure of what else to do but fight, the cyborg ninja. Apex and Valorant focused more on the cool factor, even the sillier heroes still have aesthetics their targets will dig and seem competent. What Concord went with genuinely looks like hitting random in character creator. I don't recall if Baz was meant to be the face of it but to make a character "hauntingly symmetrical puffy jazzy shoe commercial-y post-wall-mother-y circus clown trans woman with killer knife skills from using a box cutter a lot during an old Amazon warehouse job" and have that be one of the better ones isn't great.
>>739532052You know ? That AI edit isn't half bad at all, i would have played it if she actually are looking like that in game. I wouldn't mind oily sweaty thunderdome ebony mommy ass raping other players.
>>739539313>she
>>739528663>It was positioned by sony to be some grand multimedia universe that presumably would have had spinoffs, toys, movies, shows, etcThe worst imo would be an Unknown 9-like.Concord, at least, became famous (in whatever capacity). People will talk about it forever, as a punchline, or even at an educational level. Unknown 9 launched at the same year, had exactly the same framework and plans, yet not even Google remembers it until you type the "9".I got it for free along with W40K: SM2, never bothered with it
>>739539353Even better.
>>739539163>>739539257what happened is that mockery of concord accelerated far beyond its marketing
>>739539519
>>739532617yeah man it was the cop's fault
>>739538981did concord fail because he sucked too much, or because he didn't suck enough
>>739526890>was the flop of concord really that big of a deal?In what universe is wasting 8 years and $400 000 000 not a big deal? >There's no way the hate for this game was organic.Yes, it was. Everything about it was bad.
>>739526890It doesn't matter how much it failed because Sony put all their advertising/shilling focus onto Astro bot after cutting their losses with Concord and it fucking worked. They weren't planning on spending any ounce of advertisement on that Astro bot because Concord was supposed to be their big success.
Wasn't Concord just the ultimate form of LawBreakers?
>>739534562this makes me want one of those red white and yellow bomb pops
>>739526890To the people saying that woke dei shit had nothing to do with it explain why this character is the only thing I or anyone ever saw for a game backed by Sony who invested a billion dollars into it to the point it was going to be a Star Wars level franchise? With Star Wars absolutely everything is recognizable and iconic to a point people who never will watch or indulge in the franchise can name a storm trooper, Jedi, etc. What else was there that supposedly, got “drowned out” by haters?
>>739532052this video activated my fight or flight
>>739540928also any female hotter than the tranny got their face covered up with weird colors or a helmet
>>739528663TORtanic is so funny in hindsight. It’s still going strong nearly 15 years after release and for a few years it even had higher player numbers than WoW did at the same time.
>>739535617>the ProfessorShe did such a terrific job of singlehandedly running this whole thing into the ground that I'm convinced she was an asset installed by one of SNOY's competitors to hamstring themIt's amazing that one person can do so much damage
>>739526890It's literally the biggest video game failure since the Atari crash.
>>739526890>was it really a big deal? Its kinda hard to tell. Yeah firewalk closed down, and we have a rough idea of how much money was spent on development. But how much was actually wasted? Concord was a pretty generic shooter, honestly i wouldn't be too suprised if the bones were being reused, animation rigs, envioment, models, etc. Honestly though, the refunding thing has always bugged me. I still think there was probably some kind of security vulnerability that prompted them to totally kill it.
>>739526890>was the flop of concord really that big of a deal?Sony spent $400,000,000 on its development you tell me.
At first I suspected that maybe games flopping doesn't matter when you are bankrolled by Blackrock and all those organizations to send an ideological message, but...if a game is shit and nobody plays it, then its propaganda value is also rather minimal.
>>739537896It didn't destroy DEI forever, but yes, Sony is THAT incompetent. Remember that the decision to buy Firewalk and double it's budget to have it out in time to anchor the PS5 launch came from none other than Bungie. There was actually over a hundered million spent on marketing. The secret level animation. The animated videos. Concord the Controler. They switched all the placements they could to astro bot after it bombed.
>>739537776That's where the Toxic positivity and DEI comes into play. Anyone being negative was written off as a chud. The press treated everyone negative as GG haters, and they beleived that well after the game failed.
>>739535841>>739536036I mean they're still chalking it up to "mismanagement", and a small number of online haters. Veilguard shut out streamers who dumped on concord in an attempt to control the narrative. AC shadows did the same. The big gaming media still didn't examine why the chuddish streamers got it right and why the press botched it so hard on all these games..
>>739534654In the US, yes. German police can aim for the legs by comparison. >Well, that sucks man.Policy forged by lawsuits. This is the result.
>>739526890they spent like close to a billion dollars on a game that only had 25,000 sales and only lasted 2 weeks and everyone knew no one was going to play it
>>739527556TOR made money TOR made like a billion in revenue. concord didn't make a dime and literally anyone who had eyes could tell you that no one was going to play the fat black tranny game
How do investors not see through the Cliffy B school of "I'm going to make another billion dollar IP" used car salesman speeches that projects like these get greenlit on the basis of?
>>739534876>>739534819>>739534654>>739543208There are major blood vessels in the legs so a leg shot is likely to kills someone due to blood loss anyway. the whole >shoot to woundor >shoot to disableis retarded shit that no guns say. guns aren't fucking lasers, you're asking someone who is under stress to hit a specific spot and not miss a target that's moving. there are a lot of things that can fuck up your aim like if you twitch, pull the trigger weird or don't have good sight alignment and while self defense ranges are usually close enough that there isn't a huge bullet deviation, your sights aren't calibrated to always be on at literally every distance.plus a gun is a deadly weapon. you shouldn't be using a deadly weapon unless it's a last resort. if you didn't think you needed deadly force why did you use a deadly weapon?cops have other less lethal weapons like tasers, pepper spray and bean bags. I highly doubt german police are consistently disabling people with leg shots considering germans are such piss poor shots they have never won a war
>>739543615>I highly doubt german police are consistently disabling people with leg shotsThey are not. The difference is that they're allowed to try.
>>739543665Which means the law is made by retards who believe hollywood movies are reality. You're far more likely to kill someone by shooting them in the leg than in the chest. No matter the situation, you should always aim for the chest.
>>739543545blackrock alone owns 9.2% of sony and vanguard, jp morgan chase and state street also own part of it. blackrock and co make companies promote the most retarded DEI fags up the ladder. Blackrock also doesn't give a shit about losing money since they are managing 401k accounts and public employee pensions so it isn't their money and as long as the market in general goes up they meet their RoI requirements and collect their management fees. if you run a traditional hedge fund where you manage rich people's money then you get paid based on how much growth over the target you hit. but blackrock isn't getting paid on that since it's poor people's retirement accounts so they don't care about making money and everyone else will do what blackrock says or blackrock will pull out and tank the stock since blackrock has more money than most yuropean countries>>739543665it's fucking retarded to do. if you sever the femoral artery someone's probably going to die of blood loss anyway. There's no such thing as a safe disabling gunshot wound. gun shot wounds are either instantly fatal or will cause massive blood loss and will be fatal if someone doesn't treat it in a timely manner and it might not even disable the attacker.
>>739532050That didn't happen you lying faggot that was the pig's bullshit excuse. Watch the video.
>>739527556No, it works incredible well. People are just fucking sick of it and will immediately back off from any product showing heavy signs of it. Once that happens the product is on the back foot and has to pull out something incredible to regain momentum.They’re not even wrong to do so either, since that shit does not exist in a vacuum and indicates the presence of people who generally make bad games high up in the company’s ladder.
>>739543773>Which means the law is made by retards who believe hollywood movies are reality.Absolutely correct. The lawmakers don't know shit about guns. The juries that shape policy with wrongful use of force suits don't know shit about guns. The modern german people know shit about guns.
>>739543867It also assumes they can even hit the legs, rather than missing and hitting some other poor bastard by mistake, since bullets don’t vanish into the ether after they ricochet
>>739526890it was literally the biggest and most expensive flop of any entertainment product ever produced by mankind
>>739543545It's essentially gambling for them. They throw a bit of money in many different directions hoping to strike it big from somewhere. The fact that they still have enough to throw around means that it works somehow.
>>739526890Aside from the massive monetary loss, it set the pace for apathy towards high budget live service games like highguard and even Marathon with its dying userbase.
Concord's failure was a statement to the industry that you can't feed something that looks like a turd to people even if it's actually (bland) chocolate. It's no longer a small market where people will try out anything from big players, standards are higher for everything and good aesthetics are a fundamental first step in capturing attention.Now for what actually happened as a result of its failure, Sony had to make focus group testing (does the game look good and play well part of development) happen drastically earlier in development than before, which is crazy that this shit wasn't already the case. Considering Horizon Hunters Gathering is still being developed, it either slipped the net or it started development before this change because anyone would tell Sony that HHG is a DOA turd.
>>739547762The Horizon series is to gaming what the Avatar movies are to cinema. Ginormous financial success. Zero cultural impact.
>>739527443Why would leftists teach other leftists about an embarrassing failure of their ideology? Uneducated yokel retards like you thinking that universities are those magical places of truth and knowledge.
>>739535617Based retard falling for random fake images. Imagine how many people are controlling you without you even realizing it, because you're dumb enough to think "yeah, that was my own idea".
>>739527097>genuinely shocking events happening every single day>it is immediately forgotten about and forgotten that everyone forgot about it on a daily basis>for nearly 5 years straight now>yet nothing ever changes
>>739528803That's fine, the series became overly serious liberal talking points spam from 3 on

>>739548628Their hate towards you and anything you might like means if they could get away with it (and they're pushing more and more towards it), they'd literally make every single character look like picrel.
>game "industry" releases bomb after bomb after bomb after bomb>somehow has unlimited funding still>nobody buys the games, nobody plays them yet they still existthis is a zombie market. if you asked me it crashed years ago and has been mindlessly shambling along for years.

>>739538778765 millions?Bro, they paid 3.6 billions + tip for bungie.
>>739526890>They spent shitton of money to make this game. >They literally ignored everyone saying that they dont like the concept of game and especiallyvshit around characters and forced DEI, they just called everyone whodidnt praised this game a nazi or something.>They were so fucking sure that this game will give birth to entire franchise that will bring them shitton of money.>Agressive as fuck official marketijg backed up by useful idiots telling that only nazi chuds dont like this game.>Game gets released.>Only few people ppayed it out of curiosity and then left.>Servers shutdown>Game flooped>Money lost This game is literally a embodiment of "Go woke, get broke".And well people behaviour was pure organic, most of them just ignored the game.
Why would I like to play as an ugly nigger. Are you mad fuck this game.
>>739526890it failed because:looked like shitplayed like shitat least overwatch has fappable women.all this game ever had is uggo for the sake of uggo so people meme on it
>>739526890IT'S BAZZ
>>739532267Cardboard ayatollah status?
>>739526890Concord is the new ToR, so expect more and more threads as time goes on
>>739551428>it's yaboicanon as he's trans.
>>739551606Tortanic was a puddle compared to the ocean that is concord.The game eventually became profitable and had a decently sized community for years whereas concord was just a huge writeoff for sony
>>739538380Kill yourself, gcjtranny
>>739526890>we are the Concord>we are the new TOR>we have a Discord>our type is big bomb
>>739527556Marvel Rivals came 10 years after overwatch and is still making money hand over fist so player fatigue isn't a valid argument. Good gameplay and appealing character roster makes the game money. You need at least one of those. Highguard also flopped but because the game loop was shit, not because of the characters
>>739532617You think watching a power point presentation in a class room would have prevented that niggers death?
>>739552091>we're the new porni still don't know what THE FUCK they meant by this
>>739531638Lol.
>>739534296Yeah bro. I would've parried the knife with my pistol then used the Von Dumlin de-escalation principles to heal her black trauma.
>>739526890>There's no way the hate for this game was organic.It wasn't hate, it was indifference that turned into mockery. People saw Concord, laughed and the designs and then forgot about it in the next 5 minutes, while Sony thought they had their next big GaaS to compete with Fortnite and bring billions.It's only when they released the game and people learned about how much it costed, how many players where playing it, and then Sony pulling the plug less than 2 weeks later that made the Concord thing explode.
>>739538380>mixtape isn't real communism
>>739530709>woman
>>739552641Obviously that they're or will be "as popular as porn". But the word that came to them to rhyme with porn reveals sinister things
>>739531950>cop was technically a "minority" which twitter "defends".Asians are no longer considered a minority (despite being less present than niggers), you can look it up.
>>739526890It's just a meme now. Maratroon is 8x the flop Concorde was
>>739539393Unknown 9 is such a dogshit retarded stupid name. I bet a woman came up with it.
>>739526890I've unironically started missing Concord
Why is a dead game getting so many threads that always manage to organicly reach the bumplimit like this? I dont remember any thread about Hyenas being able to do this so easily…
>>739526890>It wasn't very important, there was no marketing, Sony didn't really care, if you think about it it was an indie gameHave we reached that rewriting phase yet?We have now reached the Concord rewriting phase.
>>739548176>Why would leftists teach other leftists about an embarrassing failure of their ideology?because the only thing leftoids hate more than each other is corpos stealing their ideasnobody, literally nobody likes rainbow capitalism
>>739527217GTAVI is the only thing that could potentially even fail as hard as concord. It won't, but nothing else is on that scale of budget.
>>739556282>every facet of flopcord perfectly embodies the sins of modern gaming>on a board about discussing how shit vidyagaems arepot found in kitchen, why is it black?
>>739556282Hyenas was swept under the rug, basically aborted by Sega before launchIt still cost $100 million to develop (lol) and CA laid off a ton of people, but it being shitcanned before release and the other slop coming out on either side of it led to it going under the radar
>>739556637sony is fucking pathetic. KEK
>>739552091Dustborn was like the nasty skidmark left after the massive turd that was Concord got flushed
>>739526890They spent like a billion total after it was all over for a game full of DEI and gay/tranny characters complete with pronouns. Then you got the shit gameplay. IIRC more people played the beta than actually bought the game. I think the peak player count was something like 300. No, not three hundred thousand...three hundred people. They shut down the servers 10 days after it launched and refunded everyone that bought it. Something like 8-10 years in development and it was gone after a little more than a week
>>739557490Imagine being uglier than Bazz, jesus
>>739536570I think I understand what they were going for. They wanted to emulate Mœbius' artstyle but the real implementation (from concept art to actual in-game render) was lacking, to say the least.
>>739556282Because Sony thought Concord was their next big thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-4ZM3jxhdEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmArJ8kt5TI
>>739537896>There was like 0 marketing for itOn the contrary, Sony pushed Concord hard. It has its own State of Play showcase, it got itself an episode in that Amazon vidya adaptation, not to mention a whole bunch of CG trailers for it. They had big plans for this.
>>739557887The Secret Level episode was funny because it was clearly them setting up future playable characters for content down the line
>>739557939Nothing makes me nauseous like Concord characters do
What will happen with that 400 million void left by concord? Sony is just gonna walk away like nothing happened?
>>739558284
>>739557646They not only cast him, the character looks like him and has similar traits to him. People working on the game wanted it to flop, and they got what they wished for.
>>739558403How can they possibly tank such a big loss of money and time?
>>739558284They'll just beg Larry Fink for money and promise him a dozen new Concords
>>739556282>why is the biggest failure in gaming history being talked about?
>>739558617money isn't real anon it's just numbers flowing from a computer to another they don't care where it goes so long as it keeps flowing within the machine
>>739558617In unrelated news, the new play station game will cost nearly $1000 dollarydoos and games are $100, for, uh, supply chain reasons. Yeah. Ignore the 400 million dollar hole in the side of the company we're trying to patch.
>>739526890It spooked the rest of the AAA publishers like Microsoft to axe all their unproductive dev hell AAA games like Perfect Dark. All of these projects were just Americans spinning their wheels for years getting nothing done and costing hundreds of millions of dollars. Concord proved to them that these projects can't be saved, even if you pour hundreds of millions more into them. Don't waste good money after bad they say. The amount of projects cancelled is innumerable to list, and is probably over a billion dollars wasted.
>>739557939More Negroes. >>739558284Sony is big, and it was probably more in line of 200-250 million. Sony Financial includes their Japanese life insurance wing, which is a money printing machine and can absorb these kind of losses. They're not as big as Microsoft, but they're not nothing. >91,243,259,094.19 in assets >Sony proper owns 20%>18,248,651,818.8 BILLION USD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Financial_Group

>>739526890Don't care, It-z was hot
>>739559227Forgot the image of the infobox to give context. >>739559252>>739559252>>lead designer hates gunsThey don't really, they're just twitter-brained and they are doing a highly performative morality. Everyone is tripping over reach other on twitter to out-moralize each other and that's just something they're doing. They work backwards that them working on a gun focused game is a possible pro-gun position, thus immoral, so they get ahead of it.Twitter is one giant game with a literal point system, and people game it to promote themselves. It's utterly idiotic. It's like some weird rat maze created by a mega-corp that produces nothing, but people will invest their entire self-worth in being famous and well liked on it by utter strangers they've never met. Twitter and its consequences are a detriment to society.
I liked all the Korean Bazz memes. Hell I think I like Bazz.
>>739526890There mere presence of culture war buzzwords puts people off anything. It's not even about the internet schizo stuff itself: it's simply become useful to the average Joe as a red-flag for something being shit.Entertainment industries only have themselves to blame for this; 'fan-baiting' as a marketing strategy was a hedge where a project could be sold to board and shareholders as 'investor friendly' for hitting market research tickboxes for reaching 'broader audiences', then they could blame a 'toxic fanbase' when failures happened. People making stuff they know is good, don't need to do that.
how did Bazz specifically become the poster child for Concord or failed hero shooters in general?
>>739559780Because she's utterly ridiculous-looking. And black.
>>739557939
>>739559780Bazz is a /pol/ parody played straight
>>739531950Only one cop? Where was his partner?
>>739559582"Her" backstory is amazingI like the part where she learnt how to become a kung fu knifemaster by working at space amazonIf you think I'm joking, I'm not. Look it up.And if you pay attention to her clothing, she was clearly supposed to be a gunslinger.But for some reason, ok, you know what? I'm not even continue this train of thought. I'm just losing brain glucose for nothingBazz is amazing. My favorite.
>>739538059Lol, all Trump accomplished was getting rid of the DEI name, they just rebranded it, restructured it. It is still just as prevalent in corporate America as it ever was.
>>739538778I don't understand this about Sony. Even when their own CEO, says PS5 is a no games plastic box. Sony still wants to pretend like none of these failures never happened. Is saving face that much of a big deal in Japan?
>>739559780In a cast of shit character designs, Bazz stands out as looking horrible immediately. There's also a few things to learn about him upon closer inspection that are also memorably shocking, like being voiced by a transgender or working in an Amazon warehouse.
>>739560593so did Daw and Emari though
Daw is my favorite.It's so fucking dogshit.
>>739559780Bazz's design and backstory is ridiculous to the point of being charming. Xe might have been a fun recurring mook in a different game.
>>739560724They're just outright repulsive to look at. So is Bazz, but her look being so garish and ridiculous (bright red coat with padded shoulders and purple afro puffs) has the needle dropping so far below 0 in terms of character design it starts to loop back around to being ironically great.
>>739561229so they almost nailed "so bad it's good"
>>739557939>just baby yoda but bigthis garbage never had a chance
>>739557939>that green foid on the rightUhhh...this sucks.
>>739530709>A game that lost half a billion dollars and no longer exists is hiring bazz shills
>>739561229The whole Concorc spectacle was such a glorious train wreck that it should be seriously studied. I still refuse to believe 400 million were funneled to this. Corruption must've been involved.
>>739527017was it? i didnt care either wayhighguard was way funnier because a shitton of people tried it and no one wanted to stay making the devs mald and seethe hard
>>739557887lmao hyenas killed total warhammer and marathon killed destiny
>>739526890>Was the flop of Concord really that big of a dealAh here it is, the gaslighting months after the fact. Yes it was a big deal, it was a 400 million dollar production Sony backed with complete and utter confidence to the point an episode of Secret Level was earmarked for it well in advance of its release.>a game that comes out with DEI shit involved in it is considered a "Concordlike"Not specifically, the other component is that it has to flop, badly, but there's some disagreement on how badly it has to flop to be a Concord sequel, some assign it the title if it just fails to make back its budget, others that it has to shut down shortly after release. This really only applies to live service games by the way. Mixtape for example cannot be said to be a Concordlike, despite its probable sales figures being in the can.
>>739559342It's amusing how she is still the most bangable realistic furry yet.
400 mil for Bazz was money well spent.Just shows how good the character design is.
>>739562658>the most bangable realistic furry yetbruh she's just a thundercat with tumblr tranny colors
>>739562836I meant in vidya specifically. Compare her to the one in Avowed. Kek
>>739562316The devs seething over Highguard flopping was amazing to behold
>>739556914Even distribution unless it's their own slice of the pie, of course
>>739562316>highguardmy best memory of that game is some autistic gun youtuber ripping into every gun that game had because they're awful designs for the most part. but the game was dead before he could even finish his video.
>>739560724Those characters do look like shit. Still, they prompt a reaction of not wanting to look at them any more, where as Bazz is so terrible that design is memorable for all the wrong reasons.
>>739562316>make shit ass globo homo game for the modern audience>it failsit was pretty funny considering anyone with eyes could have told them no one was going to play their sloppa
>>739531492
It was so massive that /v/ waits like rabid dogs for a second one. Unfortunately, they absolutely killed the meme on games that are NOT Concords, whether they were too small or not actually failures.Concord cost $400 million dollars and drew less than 100 players, and was shut down within a month. Nothing comes close.

>>739527217it was reasonably organici found it via a short going through character selection and i couldnt believe how unlikeble every single design was
>>739564305this is wrong.snoys were killing themselves instead of plying the shit because it was a quick way to get the trophies.
>>739526890it's literally the biggest flop in media history by dollar amount so yes probably. try to find a single movie, tv show, album, etc that lost anywhere close to as much.
>>739563245>expose yourself to public interaction>receive it>get madThese people need to learn that you are not owed praise. If you can't take this kind of shit in stride, then you really should just keep your mouth shut and not tempt it. Social media was a god damned mistake, it has made everyone that uses it socially retarded, and that includes this place.
>>739564423He got a lead design position at Blizzard, by the way, his Linkedin page is full of glowing recommendations for the work he did on Concord despite most likely being the primary cause of its failure.
>>739550181What's funny is when shit like this happens and devs or suits cant figure out why and then just blame the customers.
>>739564758Genuinely, how do these people keep getting jobs, and lead jobs at that? IIRC the same shit happened with veiguard devs.
>>739565021Nepotism
>>739557939I am sick of being literally the only one that knows the truth: these characters weren't new playable characters, they are from the distant past in concord, they are the ones that stole the maps, send them to everyone and then jumped into the storm were they obviously died because centuries later that "no yondu" guy is carrying a dumb mobile head guy and claims is a relic from their ship. In other words, in universe they have been dead for centuries.
>>739565082This.The two characters that WERE supposed to be added were an old, disfigured, hippy-fuck with a grappling hook and some lizardgoblin-thing that set traps and had a hunting rifle.
>>739548974They just keep shuffling the money around, that’s my theoryMake a game with a shitty DEI pajeet firm with dangerhairs, flop. Shutter the studio. Invest the money from taxes into another studio. Repeat with ad revenue. This probably will never stop because it’s being used to move money around for a political purpose. And it’s basically China behind the scenes anyways.or the saudis/jews money. Just look how they bought EA and now everything has gone to rancid shit. Sandniggers and chinks use video games as a weapon.
>>739566102
>>739532052Fuck, i want her to ride me!
>>739565021Nepotism, and all the money at the top is completely fake, it's all made up, nothing is real. The money is created out of thin air by Shekelberg typing more 0s in Excel, and if any difference must be made in the real world, it's taken out of the taxes of the goyim. "Too big to fail" doesn't exist because of le monopoly evil capitalism, it exists because companies will always be bailed out by the fiat jews whenever necessary, with your taxes if need be, and you will be gunned down if you refuse to pay those taxes in the first place.
>>739565021>>739565079Literally they're all part of the same clique and they all keep hiring eachother.
>>739567557This is what they don't teach you in school. Above and beyond your credentials and level of skill in your field, what matters is the network of contacts you build. You could be completely worthless at whatever you do, a genuine retard, but as long as there are people who like you in your corner, you're guaranteed success.
>>739565021>>739565079>>739566753Massive nepotisim, but more than that. It's a tight social group that extends to the press. It's why you saw the press cover for these big ingroup bombs so hard, and why they push so hard to try to have places like this silenced. Think about that one black designer who worked on Hyenas and Highguard, who got completely shut down for just mentioning that he wanted stylish black women. Or how badly they reacted to Taasi for just reporting on accurate budget and player estimates on Marathon.Marathon's chief right now is still throwing a shitfit, saying he'll only accept "constructive" feedback.
>>739568021People are fucking gross.
>>739526890>buy a studio>spend a few hundred millions>sell a few thousands copies>shut down in a week It's history book and business management book worthy
>>739527017This
>>739565082who asked?
>>739568021Tassi is a churned Destiny fan masquerading as a journalist, and /v/ hated the fuck out of him before he became their siren for Marathon because they are also churded Destiny players (Indian)
>>739565021Are investors and publishers THAT incompetent?To just throw money without seeing they're recycling failed assets?Where tf did they got their money in the first place? more of, daddy founder of mines mcsuffering also owns half of some countries resources?
>>739569269>Are investors and publishers THAT incompetent?Yes. It's why toxic positivity is so ubiquitous, it may take you 10 seconds to check that it's all lies, but the investors will never make that effort. And the ones with money all have connections everywhere to never actually be able to truly lose their wealth. It's incestuous nepotism with fiat (fake) money. The entire upper echelon of the economy is infinite money printing, speculation and % returns on "investments" and various ownership.
>>739526890>was the flop of concord really that big of a deal?YES! How the fuck can anyone think it wasn't? This was an over $400 million dollar flop for fucks sake I mean goddamn. If that isn't a big deal then what flop would be? What game has ever lost a company this much money besides maybe Marathon now? Many cite Shenmue as the reason why Sega had to stop producing consoles. There were other factors at play of course but do you know how much it cost them to make Shenmue? Let me give you a hint. It was nowhere near as expensive as Concord.
>>739568772He was also correct on all of his figures so far. >>739569269>Are investors and publishers THAT incompetent?Frequently yes. >Where tf did they got their money in the first place?From previous, less idiotic generations. Sony made it's money and rep in gaming in the PS1 and PS2 era, and did ok enoguh in the 3 and 4 era.
>>739526890>hateThere's no hate, just mockery, pure and unadulterated mockery.It's hilarious to see companies spend billions of dollars following the advice of out of touch californian retards, just to see it crash and burn to the ground that hard.
>>739526890>There's no way the hate for this game was organic.are you dumb
>>739526890>oversaturated market>insanely high budget>shitty marketingOf course it wasn't organic, it was of their own fucking making, you retard.
>>739526890Any game can fail.But this one had a ridiculous budget, advertising out the ass, shows and other media lined up, followed every AAA slop trend: it was meant to be sony's next mainstream game that rivaled gta6.It is like opening a disneyland and wondering if ten people showing up for the whole opening week is a bad sign.
>>739569269>are investors that dumbYes. Most investors have 0 clue or idea avout the market or product they are investing in.IIRC nintendo even made a public statement politely calling them idiots because investors kept asking about pokemon and pokemon go which was supposedly under control of the pokemon company, and there were also investor complaints that nintendo talked about the future of gaming and how they were going to handle it during a stock meeting rather than talking about how stocks go up.
>>739526890You're right, No one gave a shit about it and the only people who care are>Shareholders >News outlets whose job it is to document trends and I guess mentally ill consoletards who take every sony failure as a directed attack by a PC gaming cabal or whatever
>>739527556I disagree. If you give a bad first impression to your audience with a dumb character design, you already lost.Whoever hired the tumblr artists to make a game for Fortnite audience is at fault.
>>739554901They should remake it, so that it can flop again and cost nearly a billion dollars.
>>739559342>>739562658I remember that time an It-z model was posted here, played with it like 5 minutes and then deleted it.
>>739527556>I-Is just the game as a service...The COPE manThe game cannot be more ugly and generic in a market where people are sick of getting ugliness everywhere
Does anyone have the "Will suck food for dick" image?
>>739563245I don't think Highguard deserved the hate, it was a painfully mediocre hero shooter that would have gone largely unnoticed if Geoff didn't hype it for no reason. It didn't even have horrible designs like Concord just generic ones.
>>739571264AI assets are getting all the hate maybe even more than DEI/BRIDGE stuffPeople are just tired and like there is momentum for hype there is momentum for pessimism and people are really tired right now
>>739548176>Why would leftists teach other leftists about an embarrassing failure of their ideology?Lefties infest academia but their reach isn't so all encompassing that its infected every aspect. Business classes won't care that Concord was DEI, they do care about how fuck tons of money was lost due to mismanagement. Game design classes will probably begrudgingly acknowledge Concord before brushing it off but the business majors that will employ those game designers will be taught how to avoid repeating that kind of disaster.
>>739571264It deserved the hate for the simple fact that it served as a second warning shot to devs to cut that shit out. These people will not stop making these games until it's made abundantly clear to executives that there's not only no money in it, but they risk damage to their company's share prices. We can't expect the market to correct itself.
>>739568542Nobody but i am sick of that image being posted with the same incorrect claim.
>>739563245The biggest insult is that these idiots think they're entitled to gamers' time just because they put a lot of effort/love/faggotry into something. Either make a game that people want to play or just fuck off.
>>739571771The DEI x Upper Management relationship only existed when games were being butchered for every penny possible. 2014-present games were raped by greed but DEI and its allies in the press meant that any criticisms of that greed could be deflected into painting gamers are racist/sexist/whatever the fuck. Remember these people bring NOTHING to the table, all of their power and influence is given to them by people with actual money who don't even care about their politics. And now that money isn't flowing as hard as it was during the wallet raping upper management are becoming less tolerant of the propaganda pushers shenanigans.
>>739541083same I spit out air
When I first heard the term DEI, never did I imagine that it would completely kill the western gaming industry.
>>739571264>if Geoff didn't hype it for no reasonthat's the best part.two for the price of one.shit game goes to the garbage and dorito pope loses even more reputation. What a great deal.
We rightfully talk shit on Concord and cement it as one of the biggest blunders in the industry with a name that will live in infamy, I just feel like Multiversus should get that level of hate too
>>739571264If you don't want hate, don't shill your game on the biggest possible platforms with stupidly high awards and review scores.
>>739532117How do I find the original video?
>>739526890it is the single biggest failure in the gaming industry, bar none
>>739569556>YES! How the fuck can anyone think it wasn't?
Just make good games again Jews.It’s literally that easy, and if you don’t there WILL be consequences nigger.
>400 billion dollarsis vee this mentally retarded to think a game costed that to make?is everybody here indian?

>>739564514>snoygger goes ham after concord is taken down
>>739565021Racism works and the people who practice it flourish. >what do you mean, isn't racism just posting slurs on the internet? Cattle-anon...
happy memorial day, everyonehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd9EJgSLnjY
>>739526890Considering how much it cost, and how many days it lasted, yes.Battleborn and Lawbreakers at least survived longer. They got updates and new content trickling down.No other game can compare with such a short lifespan, except maybe for that LoveLive gachatrash mobage thing with its westoid version. wait! The lovelive gacha shit actually lasted for a month, so it won over Concord
>>739534457>>739534596Spot on. Remember Rittenhouse? The dumb criminal (who was forbidden from having a firearm, btw) drew a gun and aimed at Kyle. From that point, he forfeited and got rightfully shot.I'm still amazed at the level of PoM that Kyle maintained during all that mess...
>>739573215That was the cost Sony paid, including buying the studio developing it.
Bazz is like a weird clone made from Samurai Goroh's genesA type of foe more likely to be found in F-Zero
>>739534819Just curious, do you work with law enforcement, anon? You're spot on.One thing would be to use defensive martial arts , pepper spray or a taser, but firearms are another league entirely.Basic rules about handling firearms that everyone is told are:>when handling weapons is to always treat them as loaded until you've checked otherwise>never point at anything/anyone unless it is with intent of actually firingFailing to follow the second will quickly get you barred from getting anywhere near a gun for being retarded.
>>739577686KEK
>>739577739no I'm just an American, and it's pretty basic gun safety principles applied to legal defense.it's people without firearms, that have not learned the basic rules, that always think along the lines of brandishing, warning shots, and shooting appendages.
>>739571264The Una, musclewoman demon hunter was a blatant tranny. Hilariously enough, if you paid more you could get a female skin. However it's interesting that the literal chudzillas here didn't make Una a big deal, and barely noticed until after the game died.
>>739526890>failures of games in "Concords" and a game that comes out with antiwhite shit1.fix'd you dicklesscuck.2. It's quite organic as even the vagues are fed up with , sick of, andwant all this antiwhite bile purged.You faggots escalated way too fast post OWS/GG.Hope every antiwhite traitor is put in a tree
>>739562316>Asks if it was funny>Immediately states that highguard was funnierKek anyway, you're right, highguard was actual comedy, so much that I think someone funny enough could actually do a stand-up bit about the concordian timeline with highguard being the main feature and it would be hilarious
>>739577495I think it's interesting to compare that fat retard's shooting and control compared to the shit we see from actual police officers.>>739577686BAZZCONCORD'S EDGEClass: Heavy Assault RacerTop Speed: 1,460 km/hAcceleration: High (boosts hard off corners)Handling: Medium‑Low (requires skill to tame)Body Durability: Extremely HighBoost Efficiency: MediumSignature Tech: KNIVES OUT.
>>739578638The entire Bungie saga, of people leaving bungie to make firewalk, then concord , then sony stepping in to buy bungie and firewalk, then concord, then marathon all fucking failing is the greatest fun I've had since the late xbox 360 era.
>>739532050Welcome to the erasure of Western morals and ethics anon.Mad about antiwhiteism and White erasure yet?
>>739578747It's like we're both cursed by having to endure shitty failure of a game after shitty failure of a game but also this is the greatest vidya circus act of all time, it's so gloriously retarded I don't even know how to feel anymore.
>>739578687>Proper trigger discipline>Successfully cleared a jam in the midst of the chaos>took down the two retards who tried to grab his rifle (great idea, huh)>the third one survived by had his arm pretty much destroyed>when faced by police, raised hands and showed both sides, turning in voluntariliy without escalations>NOT GUILTYAll that at 17 years old, for fuck's sake. Goes to show that proper training and education are paramount. The leftard idea of 'banning' things and not understanding the law only ends up making things worse.
>>739578747You'd think there some fucking voodoo curse going in there, or something. It's just a constant cycle of failure.
>>739578803Tit-Z could have saved the game
>>739526890Absolutely, it cost Sony hundreds of millions of dollars with near nothing to recoup. Sony says that external factors caused them to increase prices of their products but in reality the failures of Concord and the looming failures of Marathon and Intergalactic are more than likely the cause.
>>739578803That canal between her tits looks so soft...
>>739579296The core problems of Concord, which are the arrogance, the shit designs, the unwillingness to listen to feedback, the decision to attack critics, the buying the press and then believing their bullshit, the insane bloated budget, the lack of content. All that is endemic to Marathon as well. >>739578874>>739579179And yet, somehow Xbox and ubisoft are managing to fuck up even harder. It's a bigger clown show than that Ace Attourney case.
>>739579415Xbox is at least trying to salvage things now with Asha. Ubisoft on the other hand... They will never admit that Yasuke fucked them over.
>>739532052Isn't he a tranny
>>739579623yes.
>>739534296I hope retards like you get stabbed and then miserably bleed out in a ditch somewhere over the next several hours. Because that's exactly what you want to happen to others with your feel good criminal coddling bullshit.
>>739526890Lmao concord, or whatever, they're all newfag names for the original gangster Tortanic. Any pcfags here remember tortanic? Lol we keep getting tortanic game after tortanic and every thread on v about these shit games is validation that these goyslop peddlers are seething and hurting.
>>739531783he should have been fired.
>>739533206>>739534850Jesus Christ I didn't realise it was this bad.
>>739543893Cope harder niggerlover.
Bazz deserves a fangame when you think about it.
>>739537896They pulled the marketing because they realised it was going to be a flop. Notice how Sega pulled their own terminally woke heri shooter Hyenas before even launching. At the very late stage the hard heads take over and realise the wokeslop isn't going to sell, so why pour good money after bad? The difference is Sony gave it a chance to counter expectations with an inexpensive release.
>>739581630Still alive to this day btw, meanwhile Concord died in a month.
>>739582340Honestly Swotr was pretty good as far as tab targetting mmo's go, it was the dungeons and the "dark and light" choices that were shit. Interesting pvp and a leveling system that wasn't great but wasn't awful. Only reason I didn't stick around was because the world was very much on rails and I like to explore.
>>739526890It very well could be the most amount of money spent on a game that generated actually zero revenue. They thought this was going to be a new flaghip IP for Sony too.My favorite part of this whole thing is how Sony spent billions on Bungie thinking they'd get them to pass on their "knowledge" of live service games to other studios, unaware of what a complete fucking disaster Destiny 2 has been for it's entire support cycle. Theoretical Degree in Physics type shit.
>>73954354>How do investors not see through the Cliffy B school of "I'm going to make another billion dollar IP" used car salesman speeches that projects like these get greenlit on the basis of?They don't see through them and regularly get swept up by them. In the real world PJ Barnum wins. Look at the literary quality of business books and linkedin posts, or even Elon on twitter: these people are uncultured and unthinking followers, easy marks for any project dream-seller.
>>739548294>nothing ever changesDo you think that maybe, just maybe, there's any POSSIBLE correlation between half a billion dollars gone in 10 days and the sudden increase in price of everything snoy in addition to drastic restructuring/downsizing of studios and development policies? Things have already changed: They've gotten worse.
>>739527243Even though less than a month is correct, it still makes it sound better than what actually happened. It was shut down in just 2 weeks.
>>739559780She's the DEIminence in Shadow. Eyerolling cringe inducing DEI shenanigans pushed to such an absurd degree that Xir broke the scale and became cool again. If you take SAO at face value it's undiluted dogshit, you watch SAO Abridged and suddenly get a masterpiece. The pieces are the same, just used differently. Bazz design and backstory is so ridiculous that you can't take it seriously you embrace the goofiness and that's when Xir shines. Her.backstory, everything really, is something that you would get a laugh off in a Disgaea side mission and 5 chapters later you can't believe you became emotionally attached to that gremlin.
its so crazy they spent all those millions, took the game down and then just shut down the studio instead of hiring some chinese gatcha artists to just make the characters fuckable and give it another go
>>739583739>She
>>739584695Read again silly goose
>>739526890People outside of 4chan hated it too. Even reddit fags were laughing at it, and they usually defend anything with brown trannies
>>739553250That's because minority just means "brown". Twitards defend criticism against India because they are minorities, even though everyone who lives there is Indian
>>739581630Didn't The Old Republic eventually become profitable though? I was around for Tortanic but I never got into the game. I could have swore though that it eventually became profitable because they realized how much they screwed it up and put in the effort to fix it.
>>739585084I don't care and you also said >herso you failed twice.
>>739572347The idea that companies are forced to sabotage their products for the sake of inclusiveness is ridiculous. I will never understand how there are people who defend this practice. The idea that hiring only the best talent regardless of who they are is considered practice is proof enough that we don't live in a serious society.
>>739577495Reddit trannies still think he shot black people
>>739588445lol>Huber>Rosenbaum>Grosskreutz
>>739526890>A Twisted Metal game was cancelled in favor of thisI didn't think I could hate Sony more than I already did until this shit happened.
BAAAAAAAAAAZZMY LOOOOOOOOVE
>>739531329She' so fucking hideous it loops around to being somewhat endearing, like a Jojo character.
>>739531329i have no idea what you mean >>739531503i wish she would
>>739531329She looks like something straight out of Deadlock and /v/ is filled with Valve apologists.
>>739526890Everyone got bored of using TORtanic as the punchline, especially after it rebounded and is doing fine, so they abandoned it for Concord. When the next big flop happens they'll forget this game exists and use it as their benchmark.
>v keeping the boxcutting tranny aliveyou can't make this up
>>739526890Remember when they first revealed it at the Game Awards, then we heard NOTHING about it for months, then they finally reminded us the game was coming, and a month later after absolutely nothing the game released along with all of the trailers, character and weapon videos, and everything else that should have been released during that month. They couldn't even shill the game properly.
>>739594645the meme will outlive the tranny that's for sure
>>739594645He's not exactly alive because the game's servers got shut down immediately so there's no playing as Bazzzzzzzz. I guess he stays in the zeitgeist by getting laughed at constantly like Morbius, but that would happen without 4chan helping.
>>739594853SHE'S alive in my heart you fucking animal
>>739594826never
>>739595204>vague, nonspecific praiseCould be talking about literally any game in this genre except Titanfall, that's how you know it's a paid shill.
>>739595157Maybe we're living in the timeline God abandoned and there'll be a Concord 2 featuring Bazz. I think the catastrophic failure of Concord means the characters from it are gone forever.
>>739527443>It'sEFL momento
>>739596061>and there'll be a Concord 2i hope not. i want to leave the 2010's behindat least it was its own franchise and it didn't piggyback
>>739531329both. It's a meme but the meme status turned xir into an endearing figure, if only for mockery
>>739596198I hope they don't make another Concord, too. There is a point where you stop getting schadenfreude amusement from someone and just wish they didn't keep fucking up.
>>739596701>There is a point where you stop getting schadenfreude amusement from someoneNo, I don't think so.
>>739526890Watching this overpriced, bland piece of shit flop was fun, but watching everybody pretend whatever AAA slop game was coming out was going to be "the next concord" was rage inducing. Especially when people say it's woke like the biggest games right now arent also "woke" lol
People will tell you Battleborn was the first Concord like failure but Randy actually gave a shit about Battleborn and made several expansions, it also was a pretty original concept. Plus it actually had a full campaign with skilltrees which was something overwatch couldn't be bothered to do despite making a whole sequel with it as the selling point.
>>739594638We had Highguard though, which was also a pretty fucking big flop.We're still saying "next concord" and not "getting highguarded" though.
>>739597305Yeah, battleborn did a little bit of work at least.PR-wise, it's tough to crash harder than Randy.Most CEOs don't go on twitter and pretend like they "just stumbled across" their own game's porn subreddits after all.
>>739526890Yes, it was. The memes came from the atrocious character design in a saturated field.Highguard was less so because people saw Concord coming and Highguard was just being pushed so hard by industry people. But it was still a Concord-like disaster. Think of it as telling a joke, but less funny because more people are in on the joke.
>>739594638No, Concord was a much bigger flop than TORtanic could have ever hoped to be. TOR after all is still running all these years later, while Concord didn't even last a month before shut down. Concord is deserving of its own title for that.
>>739594645god i hate when troons try to emulate girly mannerisms. i find it cringe when women do stuff like that already, but seeing troons try their hardest to come off like a real women is disgusting
>>739530709Cope. I am the Bazz's biggest shill and I will not rest until SHE's queen of /v/. Sony is paying me a bazzillion dollars that they'll get back tenfold when I popularize Concord into revival. You will all be sucking her gock whether you like it or not.
>>739535785Nigga no one outside of 4chinners care about BWC like that. If you explain what we think it means they'll think you're an insecure schizo
>>739594638Concord is on par with ET anon. If you have children, they will hear about it.
>>739558765who knew that perpetuum mobile could be achieved through keynesian economics? what interesting times to live in

>>739559780bazz is a funny name and she looks funny bazz!
Does anyone have that WEBM of Bazz chasing the joker?
>>739539163you still need a product people want. destiny with iron man suits is a concept that sells and bioware still hadn't fully murdered its good will with normalfags. concord was "overwatch but not f2p and with ugly characters">>739539393>reddit spacingbut also unknown 9 was a clear money laundering scheme. concord on the other hand has the budget on display. concord looks "good" in terms of polish and animation quality.
>>739559342>it-zone thing that doesn't get mocked enough are the chacters' names. daw, daveer, it-z, 1-off, lark, they all sound like jokes.
>>739566102>make lizard guy>give him a human facethis guy had the potential to attract some unironic fans but amerigolem designers have no soul
>>739526890well it gave us a new metric. Now every time a new game comes out, you can comfortably ask how many concordian days is it gonna last.
>>739571264had they gone with her as the poster girl the game would've generated some hype. instead they went with the brown broccoli and the retarded barbarian.game would've still flopped because it was painfully boring and self defeating. people gave it a honest shot and walked away.
>>739526890>Was the flop of Concord really that big of a deal,It's one of THE biggest flops in entertainment historyLike ignore all the shit about how the character art looks cringe as fuck or that it's a shitty hero shooter that no one asked for but just look at how objectively it lost hundreds of millions of dollars
>>739578803Was it so hard to do this?
Have you seen how concord ended the last hour before getting it shut down?All the players were rushing to jump off a cliff to kill themselves to rush quick matches and get the achievementsThis doesn't get enough attention, it's absolutely hilarious, beautiful and poetic how this woke garbage ended with all players literally committing in-game suicide Can't think of a more perfect ending for a woke game
>>739571264John Highguard cratered the very first impression. The devs then went on to say nothing up to launch. People still gave it a chance and downloaded the shit.Everything about it was fighting against itself. The gameplay was unfocused, unfun, and worse than its competitors, including the game the devs had previously worked on. It's a hero shooter with the most generic mofos around. It had rarity and looting systems that didn't do shit. The map was huge while the teams were small. There was lore and whatever, yet, none of it was interesting. Games like this should inspire, but every element down to the artstyle itself only bred apathy.In many ways, it was the epitome of everything people have come to despise from a modern game: A bland, unoriginal, half baked GaaS scam.
>>739605783It's cathartic to watch wokeshit finally crashing and burning like this, but I just feel hollow and empty about it. There's no satisfaction, it never should've gotten this bad in the first place. The disease seems terminal at this point.
>>739606870there's no satisfaction because it's not overthey're still releasing and heavily shilling shit like mixtapethey need to be dragged to the ground, humiliated and erased
>>739526890If hyenas came out they would be hyenalikes. Sega just got to their senses at the last second and managed to at least protect a scrap of their dignity.
>>739602014some anons haven't come back since the sharty attack. Maybe its for the best.
>>739526890Concord itself is a cursed name between the concorde plane crash and the sinking of the costa concordia.
>>739583739>something that you would get a laugh off in a Disgaea side mission and 5 chapters later you can't believe you became emotionally attached to that gremlin.Queen of /v/ was magical.
>>739605291>but just look at how objectively it lost hundreds of millions of dollarsAnd what came of that? Sony is still making shitty movie game and shitty live service flop after flop. What actually changed?
>>739583739>>739607247Gone, but not forgotten.
>>739606928Mixtape is the right wing's attempt at woke games, it's just nothing but heterosexual relationships, pro white and pro police message. Then all you need to do is look at who's funding it and it's a rich conservative billionaire who already said he wants to control all media to push conservative views.
>>739527017this>didnt do anything>250m game+ entire studio collapsesits laughable, especially because the entire vision around the game is GaS slop. Just another arena shooter.Also what kind of retard had the idea that the assassin aka fast mobility character should be a 50 year old woman >>739526890thats the complete opposite of what teens and adults want to play, but muh representation.
>>739607392>rich conservative billionairecare to name this "right-winger" for us?
>>739607392>>739608541Your "right-winger", sir
>>739607392>look at who's funding it and it's a rich conservative billionaireMy Early Life Section sense is tingling.
>>739527556>its easy to focus on the woke/dei angle, but it actually doesn't work all that well to explainYou faggots try this with every failure, even normalfaggots can smell the woke shit from a mile away now. Fuck off
The deflecting angle is getting really tiresome, anything to avoid looking inward I suppose
>>739535617>the professorQRD?
>>739609365A very nutty fat girl who had herself renamed 'Professor Brown', and she was basically a living stereotype of tumblr users.
>>739535202Those fucking boomers and Snoy probably cannot see the aesthetic difference between bazz and Masterchief. To them those are all the same goofy unrealistic designs that they can sell.
>>739609142>>739608937it doesnt take much to realize jews want to control all media just to help their own kind and put republicans into power because they're all goyim slaves.
>Trying to make it about R vs D againCommon diversion tactic
>>739526890It's more of a fun train wreck to watch but I think why it was so disastrous because it's what everyone had been complaining about for years. A live service hero shooter nobody wanted and these ugly ass gay characters nobody wants to play as. Highguard, Concord, Fair Game (Break in now), and Horizon isn't what people want.
>>739526890>Was the flop of Concord really that big of a dealFor the amount of money Sony has wasted on that garbage.... yes it was a huge deal.And yes, it a prime example of how the woke retards still don't fucking get it. That "MODERN AUDIENCE" is fake and don't exist. It's just a echo chamber of their own woke farts.Meanwhile they think they are "owning the chuds" but don't realize that the chuds were the real audience all along.
>>739560420Well it is, especially in Nipponland but Snoys gaming division is in California.
>>739526890One of the most expensive games Sony ever published, also happened to have less players than indie games? Yea that was pretty major actually, someone fucked up, and others will be measured next to this fuck up because we will probably never see such a catastrophic failure again.To put it in perspective how bad this went; They were already working on a TV show and weekly animations to update the game and expected to keep this going perpetually, at no point did anyone actually ask "are people even interested in this" but rather "we need more money to do it". Everyone involved in this now sullys whatever project they work on, and culturally it has embodied exactly what everyone is sick of in media. This was a game made for "modern audiences" and it couldnt break 3 digit player count consistently, and yet, were still getting games like this. They get more funding than even games that are CURRENTLY successful for the parties involved. There should not be more Concord-likes, and yet there is, that is why it is relevant. Its a reminder of how terrible things are right now in the industry. They are still trying to make games for nobody and have fuck you money so dont feel like they have to, its not about money for these people, they are trying to brute force culture. To these people money affords whatever merit cannot, and noone wins. Fuck Concord, and all games like it.
>>739526890>>739527017I made people forget about lawbreakers.
>>739609687Apparently she wasn't even real professor but required everyone to call her that anyway otherwise HR got mad or something. There was that really salty post from one of the devs about her. Hilarious stuff.
>>739610784I didn't forget, Cliffy, you hack>does his own PR>kills his own studio
>>739596137?
>>739610784>>739611992I'm always confusing battleborn with this
>>739612117You just need to remember that Battleborn was BAD. ASS.
>>739612404today I will remind them.
>>739611992I feel like realism is the exact thing holding these kinds of games back. Not that they would be anything amazing, but they look so fucking ugly visually.>its imperative we see every wrinkle and fold, every pore and split end on the charactersFuck end this shit. If youre going to copy Overwatch, actually fucking copy them, they made a cartoony artstyle, shit, do you think Marvel Rivals would be as popular as it is if it was aiming for realism? Stop doing this crap
>>739611992whoever designed this, should be blacklisted from the industry
>>739549048>>739553173omg i never knew
>>739532203its extra funny considering a wellness check is just them checking if you are alive or notlegit the cop was going to leave after seeing her for a second
>>739612809What's funny is that Cliffy B addressed this and for some reason compared himself to Quentin Tarantinohttps://youtu.be/wJ4v2LgVlEA?si=5VGEU1mnNiqYDj_p&t=435
>>739596753i just want good videogames man...
>>739613006yeah really, it's just the cop gonna see if they were okay and maybe ask them to turn down their music but that's about it.
>>739613006the media, for YEARS, told her she was at risk of being shot if she encounters a cop. the lugenpresse will never see the punishment they deserve
it burned enough money to revive a hundred IPs
>>739543773>you're far more likely to kill someone by shooting them in the leg than in the chesti understand you're trying to establish that you can die from a wound anywhere but come on, i know at least a few people that survived getting shot in their leg at different areas i've never met someone that survived a chest shot of any capacity
>>739543773>You're far more likely to kill someone by shooting them in the leg than in the chest.Fucking retarded.Throw a tourniquet on the limb and get the guy to a hospital within the hour and he's going to be fine. If he manages to die somehow, oh well.Police regularly incapacitate suspects armed with melee weapons in Europe by shooting them in the legs.Here's a high-profile example of a literal terrorist being shot as such: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Turku_attack>When police confronted Bouanane stabbing a victim at street address Brahenkatu 14 near Puutori, he ignored verbal orders and was immobilised with a single shot to the thigh and a taser at 16:05. He was given first aid and taken into custody.
>>73961670350 cent survived one but how many people have you met that suffered gunshot wounds? Do you work in the ER or do you hang with hoodniggas
>>739526890yes, we aren't doing this revisionism meme on concord, even as a joke
>>739609971True, but that doesn't make them "right wing". Trumps actions show he's further left than Bill Clinton.
The rejection of Concord was cataclysmic and will probably never be replicated on that scale again.
>>739612809I feel like the main reason the industry keeps pushing realism is because it doesn't rely on a specific artist, anyone from university can do it and can easily be replaced if need be, not to mention you can waste tons of resources trying to recreate folds, pores, facescanning, and whatnot. It's perfect for corporations really.
