You know, I am curious over what they were gonna do with this thing if the game wasn't killed so fast. It never made into the "overwatch style" animatics.

This would be a good character if they ramped up the crazy hijinks. One Piece characters dress as weird, but the thing is that they're more like horror characters because they're deadly and dangerous. These characters lack an "edge" because they're desperate for all media portrayals of minorities to be positive ones. So you're left with a blank staring lame character with at most a slight smirk. Turn that into a slasher smile and suddenly it clicks.

There's dozons of articles like this since it's standard to write a lot of material before release. No one knew it'd bomb this badly. The game is actively visually unappealing.

>>712836475
One Piece characters are endearing tho.

>>712836754
One Piece is filled with freak show characters that puts Concord to shame. But it knows a simple trick: the heroes are nice looking, and the villanous characters are ugly freak shows. Here, they made the freak shows center stage, AND made them gay and lame.

I just found out that one of the main designers of concord (Prof tranny) is hired by EA. It is time to sell

>>712838273
Oh yeah, Garbi talks about this directly. There's no evidence that this person has any talent outside of how to market themselves, manipulate policies, and guilt trip people. And since mega-corps are huge no one is to blame for anyone, and you can pretend to be a hero who was failed. Thus people who are poison will be rehired.

Not even that, "non-binary". It's just a method to distinguish yourself while not having to do anything. You can bend an organization's will towards you, while holding power over everyone at all times.

>>712839384
And to clarify some confusion: Her birth name is Lisa Brown and legally changed it to Prof Brown. I wish I had this kind of blind confidence of these kind of people. Though it's more likely it's over-compensation. These people are functionally parasites and see companies as welfare programs they can leech from, but you also can't get rid of them. HR departments keep hiring them too. Once you're big enough for an HR department your ability to quality control your employees becomes zero.

I want to say I saw in a past thread that he wasn't the actual character designer, but a designer who worked on the lead character. The actual character designers were different people.

That is, he's listed as "lead gameplay designer" not as the artist or cg modeller.

The artists must have laughed at this. The reference to "professor" is likely an actual reference to Prof Brown. Are they following Chud twitters?

No, it would never be a good character. It's western mental illness in an unlikeable girlboss in a boring slop game. It died a deserved death.

>>712841037
I don't think they wanted it to fail per se, but it looks like everyone top to bottom had priorities that were not related to actually making a successful game. It looks like a common strategy is to fund a new studio and make it big and shiny with all sorts of bells and whistles entirely so that it is enticing enough for a big publisher like Sony or Namco to snatch it up.

The lower level devs see the game as a welfare/jobs-program. Untalented idiots are hired who piss away years upon years of dev time.

The company is sold and the founders run off on golden parachutes. The devs are paid for 4-8 years worth of work. Everyone is happy, but because no one cared about the game, it is released. By the time the publisher becomes wise that the entire thing is a waste of time they start pulling money for marketing, and either cancel the game or release it to little fanfare.

Japanese studios are especially liable for this as they're chasing the mythical "modern western audience" so they want to buy up American or European studios.

Exact same story with Unknown 9. Former Ubisoft guy founds a company on hopes and dreams, gets bought by namco, dev hell ensues, a half-hearted game is shat out like 8 years later. Original founders are long gone.

>>712842348
>The reference to "professor" is likely an actual reference to Prof Brown. Are they following Chud twitters?
There already was some negative buzz around Concord even in east asian communities. The news pipeline probably went from English to Korean and to Japan on all the negative press about the game.

>>712843051
the founders didnt run off anon.
the founders are THIS company.
they build Firewalk Studios as a shell company, build Concord, and sold the shell, the team, and the half finished game to Sony.
They are still sitting in their studio in Washington State with new office equipment, controllers and all, and some new office network wiring installed.
I have some insider knowledge on this.

>>712842219
Anon... It is not "lead character" designer. There is no "lead character" in concord.

It means he had a lead position at the character designer team

>>712843156
Asians just thought the game was horrendously and hilariously ugly and ill-conceived and pulled no punches.

>>712843406
No, his actual title is "Lead gameplay character designer", he's not an artist. Past threads have talked about this and posted the actual art team. Its some women.

It doesn't matter if he didn't draw or model or directly design anything, he was responsible for people that did. And you can surely bet that he had a lot of input on how this team designed their characters. The guy and his (team's) ugly characters are probably the main contributor to concord's failure

I'm not saying he's blameless, just that his design was gameplay related. There was another art team and other people have posted them.

>>712843381
I didn't look into Firewalk much but I went through the Cliffhanger games linkedin. They opened up a big studio in washington state just a few months before cancellation and it being shut down. The pictures post about 60+ employees in a big office.

I have no idea how they could do that when the entire studio was pending being shut down?

>>712835392 (OP)
>two right hands

>>712844539
I can't tell you about cliff hanger but I have been to probablyMonsters, which is where concord would have been developed.
they had all of the equipment for it, including mocap.
and all they do is make shell companies with half finished games, and sell them to other companies.
If they supposedly spent 200 million on concord before sony got it, how much profit do you think they got from sony buying it from them?

>>712844749
I don't know about these guys. so they make companies, then concepts, half make the game, then sell the entire package? That sounds like bullshit.

All the news stories talk about "Firewalk studios" not "probably monsters". So you're saying firewalk didn't erally exist as a real company? That it was a creation of probably monsters?

Keiji "conman" Inafune made a game company that was just "idea guys" where they write a concept and a bunch of sketches and then sell the IP to someone to make a game. This looks like a bit more involved, but has some of the same problems. It sounds like a recipe for disaster.

>>712843381

no, I won't say how I know

>>712845143
Legally firewalk studios existed.
the people existed.
probablyMonsters hired all of them and founded firewalk studios, and had them make concord.
then, when the game was ripe to sell, they sold the entire studio to sony.
this is the third time they have done this.
>what do they do
based on what I saw in their empty office, they were gearing up to hire a bunch more people to make ANOTHER studio to sell ANOTHER "concord" to someone.

It is important to note that both of their previous shell studios were quietly absorbed by the buying companies.
Like, they bought the studio, looked at the game, and decided not to finish it.
Sony was the ONLY one stupid enough to try and finish the lemon they got, which is what gave us Concord.

>>712845391
I find this kind of corporate shit fascinating. The higher ups seem like gamblers throwing around millions in creating or disolving studios. Since there's so much money floating around everyone tries to work in one of these companies and to justify themselves. Then if something falls apart, you can be left with a company that exists on paper, but doesn't have anything to do, and still gets funded. Then... what? It sounds like Probably Monsters might be in a "holding pattern" of sorts until Sony can figure out what to do with it.

>>712845426
>based on what I saw in their empty office, they were gearing up to hire a bunch more people to make ANOTHER studio to sell ANOTHER "concord" to someone.

And that can take years upon years to actually get anywhere. These companies almost seem designed by a top tier of engineers to waste as much time and produce as little as possible. Cliffhanger Games mentioned above made a teaser for their game, and only actually made a physical office 4 months before it was shut down. So it looks like they were just fucking around for like 4-5 years without any work being actually done.

I think we're ripe for outright corproate collapse of many gaming publishers and companies if these kind of practices keep going.

>>712844558
fuk u gon do white boy?

>>712846090
We already were ripe for collapse, anon.
My guess was probablyMonsters has some way of getting funding through connections. its privately owned as well.

>>712846308
They're SO CLOSE to getting it. yeah, the online people had little influence. It's not like these games were on course for massive success, then people saw some joke tweets and then decided to not buy it.

Then why? Because the gameplay, story, setting, art, design, graphics, were not appealing.

Why? In part because it was made by idiots, in part because it's made with feminist theories in mind. Can't have strong heroic males, because that's going to result in Toxic Masculinity. Can't have pretty women, that's the MALE GAZE. It's a checklist of design priorities, and how to run your company, and none of it is built around appealing to an audience or making a profit.

Why were idiots mass hried by the company? Diversity policies and mandates they advocate for.

>Your profits end where my feelings begin.

>>712846859
they were mass hired as a marketing thing.
DEI was super marketable because all the corporate types were chasing it at the time.
which is likely how they managed to get it sold to sony.

>>712839016
I hope that's bad on purpose, like it's parodying something

>>712846831
Investors have a lot of money, and they don't know anything about gaming so they probably poured millions into it. They will keep going until they run out of cash, having never produced a single functional profitable game.

>We already were ripe for collapse, anon.

The thing is that most won't, just a bunch of shitty poorly optimized western AAA studios and publishers. I suspect that publishers are going to get wise that Euro-Americans are literally not capable of producing a single good game on time without bloat, and will start to hire Chinese and other asians. I hope they don't get scammed by indians though.

>>712847591
I find these failed companies fascinating. What did they do?

>>712847591

If they've done it a total of 4 times, they've likely made tens of millions in profits and will keep going. But how long until people get wise to the scam?

If you set up a company to be sold, and even if you have good intentions, it sounds like you're gonna gear it to be the best kind of company to be bought up, not one that is geared towards making a game. Nice looking on paper, shit game.

Sounds like a more involved version of Comcept.

>>712849073
You can't outright embezzle money, as that's illegal but instead they just set it up that they're the ones profiting the most from any given transaction operating like a parasite. So they ensure they have a high salary, and then give themselves tons of bonuses. Each time a company is sold, they make sure they're paid the most, given how their genius leadership was what resulted in this kind of success.

>>712849467
who says they are embezzling anything?
its a privately owned company and if they want to set aside funds for their core employees they can.
they choose who gets paid what.

>>712835392 (OP)

>>712852791

the recurring theme of those weird tubes on clothes is hideous.

The fun part is that nobody has ever drawn good "fixed designs" for the concord cast because the baseline concepts are so horrible and boring that they defy even reimaginings.

>>712854336
Yeah, any attempt has to remake the character almost 100%. You can't fix bazz because Bazz is a troon. So you make it a cute black girl with purple hair who wears something that shows her body shape, but at that point it's a new character.

You know why. it's white people and black people educated in white people universities who see media as a tool of social engineering. Thus the ugliest blacks to normalize ugly blacks as the new pretty. The theory is called social constructivism, and it's derived in part from post-structuralism and it's dogma in some degrees. To NOT engage in social engineering is in fact a moral sin.

Any media that would appeal to someone has to start form "what do people want to see?" instead of "What should people see ideally?". If you start with the first, it's masculine characters, feminine women, heroics, etc. Standard shit. If you start with the latter, it's Baz.

Yeah, the employees and outside activists have spent years engineering studios to be like this through their harassment and other policies. It creates group-think, and discourages any kind of criticism. Why take a risk and say it's bad, only to be attacked for being bigoted to gender-queers, when you can lay low?
