Sony's Big New PS5 And PC Game Concord Got Off To A Slow Start

Yes yes, we know you guys are trying to keep access to Sony. We all see what's going on now.

God, it's like this generation's Rise of the Robots.

live services that all that was need to be said....

Nobody is playing this game. Stop defending it.

Concord just like the airline is going down in flames.

At least 75% in the comment section writes immature "after-wise" comments about how bad the game is or looked, how they should have cancelled it, how they would have cancelled the game years ago if they were running Sony Computer Entertainment.

Why not go ahead and try to be CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, folks? You seem to know exactly how to run things.

A word of warning though..it is probably not as easy as you think when you have to make decisions ahead of a game release and not after a game flops, and also have to think about stupid corporate greed concepts like "revenue" or "profitability".


As for the game itself.. some gamers are a bit picky sometimes, and likes to complain a lot. And it shows sometimes. They seem to either love or hate some games. No balanced and sober reaction sometimes.

Maybe the game would have been more successful with a better marketing campaing and another release date. It just happened to get a release almost at the same time as the sleeper hit of the year, Wukong.

Or maybe releasing it at the price 40 bucks was a mistake instead of trying to release it for free (maybe a 40 bucks physical collectors edition). Many other gaems like apex Legends for example are free. So selling something for 40 bucks when there are similar fps multiplayer games out there for free is sometimes tough. Maybe the developers behind Arc Raiders rethinks their new 40 bucks price now.. But Arc Raiders might be more original and worth 40 bucks perhaps.

Sony should have canned this game after 2yrs in development. Not given it 6 more, lol.

I hope Sony takes this knock on the chin as a lesson to stick to what they know, which is amazing single player experiences. That being said, I do think it was a huge mistake to charge any money for Concord. That took it from little chance, to no chance.

Hero shooters or team based shooters are just not for me.

The one thing going for it is getting rid of F2P monetization.

If it had a campaign and solo multiplayer then I would be more interested but it is team multiplayer only.

Give me a Baldurs Gate 3, a couch co-op like Mario Wonder, etc..

I’m sure some of the “live service games” are great— I’ve enjoyed Hell Divers, for instance. But as a general business strategy, I’m thinking people are tired of games you pay for and then have to keep paying for with micro transactions. Plus, consumers are tightening up their spending in general right now.

They canceled twisted metal and last of us online but kept this? How bad were those games and how deluded is sony?

Slow start? Should be changed to HORRIBLE start!

When are these publishers going to learn that there is only so much room for these live service games?! Fortnite, CoD, Rainbow 6, Sea of Thieves, Apex Legends, Overwatch, WoW, FFXIV Online, Destiny....

There IS simply NO ROOM for new, generic versions of essentially the same games that already exist! Concord is DOA already, and after nearly 8 YEARS in development, that studio will probably suffer massive layoffs very soon, if not close as a result.

The industry doesn't need MORE games, it needs BETTER games. And while true that virtually anything these days is derivative of something else, good content still needs something unique in order to stand out. More single-player games in franchises that people love and have legions of fans (like Crash and Spyro) should be a no-brainer, but because they can't monetize it, nickel & diming the customer to death for the foreseeable future, sadly it's now low priority for most publishers.

I'll write the same of what I said to someone: for this game clearly developed for little kids even little kids wouldn't play it for how childish it's. it's more attractive to little girls, not for boys at all. on top of it a game for kids not F2P so how little kids can play it? do they expect adults who earn their own money come from 9-5 job and with 2 hours of free time they have for themselves they play this game? if I had a kid who wanna play this I wouldn't give even $1 for this trash, I wouldn't want my kid to waste time on this trash even if it was F2P. it's waste of bill and unnecessary risk for the computer to stop working. another business fail from sony. move along :DDD

They could've released a new Dead or Alive or Senran Kagura instead of whatever this is and made a lot of money. Say what you want about those series and how "controversial" they would be for "modern audiences", at least they have a real target demographic. Concord was a vanity project made by arrogant developers who thought that the average gamer was a progressive overweight with a gender-studies degree. When you appeal to such a small demographic you can expect to lose money.

A woke live service game failing. Who would have thought 🤷‍♂️...

It's a massive flop, a huge failure for the modern audience, a waste of money.

Maybe they will learn something after this?!

Its good to see the mega vocal minority completely devouring these trash tier titles on the socials. Next on the menus is Star Wars Outlaws and asscreed😎

697 players? Oof. That's bad.
