Thread 715523396

How do you fail in TWO WEEKS? I predicted it might last maybe 2 months but two weeks?
It makes no sense to pull the plug so fast, even if it was a flop. Yes, there must be something going on behind the scenes. I'm certain of that. Something... sinister.

it was an all or nothing power move, of course it makes sense they pull the plug in just two weeks, in fact, they were a week late, the first 3 days was enough of a failure

There was a battle royale game sequel that got pulled the very next day after its release because only like 12 people played it. You can tell when the writing is on the wall.

Though I lol at the idea of them dragging it out over months with all sorts of enticement tactics to try and build up the community. Sorry concord, we were all busy that weekend, try releasing it again!

>>715523396 (OP)
SKG bros... we could have prevented it sooner

>>715523396 (OP)
Because it didn't start with 200k players. It got 600+ and the very next week it was already in 150 players.

They will attempt a re-release soon.

>>715524319
The biggest flop in video games, overtaking E.T. it's unironically history. Beating a dead horse would be talking about muh tortanic in 2025.

>>715524223
600…i just don’t understand how it flopped that hard. Was there literally zero marketing? Was it completely hidden on steam? Were there no trailers, no advertisements, no showcases? I mean I understand thousands of games have the same fate every year but this is a AAA studio we’re talking about. How can a AAA game fail THIS hard, even if it looks like shit? Millions of people out there guy literally any ugly soulless slop out there as long as it had one ounce of forced marketing and manufactured hype. So that begs the question, was there just zero marketing or something? Or was the whole thing really some sort of money laundering scam?

>>715524386
they whomst've? the studio closed

>>715523396 (OP)
>make a game that no one wants
>people dont buy it

It is a crowded space.

>>715524223
pol stuff aside, it just seem very unappealing character wise (yes some pretty girls would have helped) and even worse in a genre that is already super saturated.

>>715524612
You underestimate the power of indifference towards a product that clearly no one asked for.
Would you buy glasses if you were blind?

>>715524650
Didn't a different Studio pick up the assets or something?

Why does nobody talk about how disconnected Sony higher ups are?

>>715524906
I mean I assume since it’s a Sony IP, that Sony might’ve picked it up, but why would they? The game sold 25k copies which were all refunded anyway. The studio + game was a $400m loss for Sony.

>>715525105
And still are.
Can't wait for the concord 2 and 3 flop

>>715523396 (OP)
It didn't fail in two weeks. It failed 3mn after the reveal trailer.

>>715524612
It was an original IP that tried too hard to look like marvel, and it released during the time when Marvel went completely woke. It was also in a saturated market with hero shooters and there was more marketing on the woke aspects than the gameplay, the characters also looked like shit so they couldn't even gooner bait people to play it.

What the fuck is wrong with ameritards? Why are you shitting up every single board the very second you wake up?

>>715524612
What's even more hilarious is that the CLOSED beta had more players than the final game at its peak.

>>715524906
I heard that about Hyenas. Last I heard about Concord, I think someone here suggested they may use the assets on "Marathon" after the art theft fiasco.
I'm kinda surprised they haven't even tried to turn it into a f2p game. Maybe they're waiting for people to forget.

>>715525695
Because it was free. Charging 40 USD for a game in a genre where most of its competitors are free is a bold move.

>>715525918
Nevermind, didn't read the all caps
>CLOSED

>>715524612
>Was there literally zero marketing?
There were highly expensive animated shorts, a special inclusion in an Amazon Prime TV show and was even shown off at one of Doritofag's shows.
The reality that no one wants to accept is that normalfags saw the game(which was revealed through a cinematic trailer so no gameplay) were repulsed by the character designs and interactions that they actively refused to even consider it something they'd want to buy.

>>715525798
>f2p
I don't think there would be people playing this unironically if they actually did.

the fate of live service games is decided a lot sooner than two weeks
companies often just keep them up longer to save face + milk whatever paypigs they can with updates and cash shop stuff they've been holding back

>>715525105
They still are. To this day I still can't believe they're porting shit off their system chasing short-term profits over long-term brand damage. No one is going to come to your ecosystem if your ecosystem can be found elsewhere.

>>715526442
It's funny to think that they wanted it to be their flagship IP

>>715524612
>i just don’t understand how it flopped that hard
it looks fucking disgusting
unfettered far leftoid insanity

I really hope the government will force Sony to turn the game back on. This isn't fair, even if 1 person would play, it should stay up.
I'm literally shaking right now
EU DO SOMETHING

>>715524601
I never thought about it that way but yes this is probably the biggest flop in videogame history. What a time to be alive.

>>715528209
And by doing absolutely nothing, we contributed to its demise.
We were a part of it.

>>715524612
600 is only in steam, there were probably a couple thousand more in the PS. I'd wager maybe they maybe they got around ~4000 players overall?

>>715523396 (OP)
They got sales that would be a disappointment for Compile Heart.

>>715524612
The entire internet was talking about the game. You can't blame a lack of publicity. Nobody wanted it. People found the spectacle of watching the perfect embodiment of everything that the psychotic corpos insist is the future of gaming implode in real time more entertaining than the prospect of actually playing the game.
>i just don’t understand how it flopped that hard.
This is what wokeshit looks like when it has no crutches. No bundles with things that people actually want, no legendary studio or franchise to parasitize, just a new IP and a new studio with a big marketing push like any other high profile game.

>>715528340
I think it was free if you had a Playstation Something subscription. Is there a way to check how many achievements were obtained?

>>715526690
Concord was the best they got. Imagine how bad the worst is.

>>715527897
I'm pretty big on STOP KILLING GAMES
but this was euthanasia
We'll compromise and let this one stay dead in exchange for making the good games work.

>>715528635
I think there is a way to check achivements, there's probably a tracker website. I think someone at some point posted all the revenue generated by concord on here, with that we'd get a total sales count which is what really matters.

>>715523396 (OP)
They should have pulled the plug after the public beta had fewer players than the closed beta.

>>715528698
Marathon and fairgames will be a bloodbath

>>715524612
>i just don’t understand how it flopped that hard.
really?

>>715523396 (OP)
I don't get it

>>715528837
At least they had the sense not to release Hyenas

Can't wait to relive Concord flopping all over again when Fairgame(cash symbol) and Marathon both come out.

>>715528924
That was Sega. Sony haven't shown that level of intelligence yet.

>>715528924

what was bazz's problem?
his backstory is just "bigoted family started treating him like a real woman after he transitioned so now he is pissed off and will show them that he can be a male heir too"

>>715529117
Xhe is a master box opener who studied the boxcutter for 20 years at an amazon warehouse. That would make anyone go insane.

>>715526714
bazz is unironically a good design for a joke character

sad that woke lefties wasted it trying to make a serious character

>>715523396 (OP)
The income from sales was very small and most likely only like 2 or 3 of the character skins were selling at all(probably single digit numbers too) so maintaining the game was seen as not worth it. Also the business model there requires constant development of cosmetics and if you don't have income you can't do that so probably they saw the writing on the wall and shut it down. Few days before it was killed they did say that they were figuring out a way to bring it back(probably brainstorming how to turn it into free to play game and whether it would work) but snoy suits most likely said it's not worth the money and effort.

"They" being the industry as a whole, not Sony specifically.
But yeah, Sega had more sense then Sony, why aren't we living in the Dreamcast timeline?

Daily reminder that this is happening because they didn't vote for Trump

>>715529507
They released a game while announcing it would only be playable for 3 months? Why would they do that?

>>715529645
Would you believe me if I said it was actually because of Sony? I'm being serious by the way.
They approached Sega America to try and make a similar deal to the one they made to Nintendo with the "Nintendo PlayStation" which is why there was a sudden increase in animosity between Sega America and Sega Japan.

This industry is ran by genius businessmen and nobody could have possibly predicted the incoming crash.

>>715530030
They have to learn it the hard way

>>715530030
>nobody could have possibly predicted the incoming crash
Except for ONE BUSINESS MAN. Some call him the John Titor of the games industry.

>>715524612
>Competition games all had healthy population
>All of them have a free base game
These were some very key factors. When it basically just played like overwatch, people wondered "why should I pay $70 for this?" And then didn't. Plus, Marvel Rivals was new and getting big, while also being free.
From the multiplayer perspective, it's hard to really charge people for the base game, because the game lives and dies by having an active population. As a possible consumer, you realise that if the population drops, you can't play the game you've paid for, so your money is at risk of being wasted on something you can't play because nobody's online. The vicious cycle continues and nobody buys the game because of it.
Also if there's negativity towards the game (all the faggy idealised shit like diversity and all that faggotry) got it a bad name with even normie gamers, since it's now mainstream to hate on those fags.
It was dead on arrival because they charged for it instaed of going the free with a season pass route, which at least could have maybe maintained a playerbase.

>>715524601
I think that another huge flop is Unknown 9 universe

>>715530467
Damn, i completely forgot about that one

>>715529971
I'm ready to believe.
Please tell me more, this is new to me. Nintendo Playstation? Sega talked into folding by Sony? Expound please!

>paid f2p game in a genre that was already oversaturated

He must have had a time machine, nothing else explains it, there were no warning signs whatsoever. All the video game journalists loved it!

>Was there literally zero marketing?
They said that about any propaganda flop.

>>715530526
Maybe it's not prominent as much as Concord because it's a multimedia franchise so it touches vidya only with a fraction, but the fact that Bandai really invested in a multimedia franchise that no one asked for and it didn't even receive marketing was crazy

>>715524601
It's sad how many people want to stop us from talking about it. When it was ET, it was all fun and games to mock the game and devs. But now when it's Concord that took the mantle of biggest flop in gaming history we're meant to just pretend it never happened? Why? This is huge, to fuck up to such an extent shouldn't be possible. To fail and make less money than E.T is insanity and yet they did it. Why shouldn't we bring it up?

>>715530632
Beta did horribly.

>>715529001
I'm shocked they haven't been cancelled. After sony dropped concord so hard, I imagined that they would just be out of the live service game, aside from bungie keeping D2 going, but when fairgames flops spectacularly, I'll laugh hard.
The funniest thing would be if they try to appeal to gamers and change the main char to be a white guy instead of the mystery meat bitch.
They won't, but ti'd be very funny.

>>715530026

>>715528849

>>715530760
Yeah. They had it all planned out already.
Funniest shit

>>715530694
Nintendo just lives in their bubble and keep doing what's worked for them. They ignore the noise and cut out their own market that they cater for.
This is both a good and bad thing. You get them avoiding shit industry trends, but you also get them having to rediscover shit that everyone's been doing for ages, like Switch 2 party chat being a massive feature.
Thank fuck they're still making fun games

I mildly regret not picking up this controller. It looks nice. It's going for hundreds of dollars now, I guess collectors liken to owning a piece of a corpse or something.

>>715531067
Literally the only good thing to come out of this game. I liked Concord's color scheme.

>>715531067
That's a very cool looking controller, I can't believe it's for such a hideous looking game. Makes me think of Atari 2400 era games. Why couldn't they have had designs like this predominate?

>>715531413
That looks like ass though

>>715530759
I've said it before, but I'd buy these concord hats and give em to the homeless and take pictures of it. In the end, the franchise name would live on, being worn by homeless.

>>715524612
>paying Amazon to release an episode of your epic new game franchise before the game comes out.

>>715524612
>Was there literally zero marketing?

It's okay anon, all the big publishers have learned their lesson. Surely Sony isn't currently investing hundreds of millions into another live service that is such a mess, they just had to delay it.

>>715531152
You know what's really scary? When they accuse gamers of sabotaging a game and being foreign assets, this is literally what they believe. And subsequently, threatening to sue gamers who criticize the game sounds smart in their heads.

>>715524612

>>715532449
With the artificial push that Horizon got, you can bet your ass that they planned Concord Lego sets, Moderoid model kits and whatnot.

>>715527897
It's not about turning it back on; it's about including some off-line mode.

If you look at Shift Up, they had an old live service gacha game that they shut down at the start of Nikke's success. When they EOS they added an "offline" feature that lets players still replay the story content and look at their gacha girl collection.

>>715524612
>Was there literally zero marketing?
No, they actually advertised it for like 45 mins in an ABSOLUTE STATE OF PLAYSTATION direct.

As soon as it came out the Discount Marvel Guardians were in a Live Service sloppa, everyone tuned out.

IN FACT they ADVERTISED IT SO HARD they had an Amazon TV show episode dedicated to the bomba BEFORE the game relased to be shown AFTER the game released, bombed, and was cancelled.

Sony was drunk and let Jesus take the wheel.

>>715531972
>No Bazzite
Curious that.

>>715524612
Oh they did plenty of marketing alright. There was just no word of mouth at all. Like nobody cared about it.

>>715530612
Sony originally wanted to sell their Playstation to Nintendo. Nintendo decided not to and Sony had to get into the gaming industry to recoup their investment.

IIRC Sega America was always trying to tell Sega Japan what was working and what was not in the NA market and Sega Japan just wouldn't listen. This led to Sega America doing certain things independently that Sega Japan really didn't like. After all, Sega America is just a bunch of salespeople! The real genius is Sega Japan's engineers, and they're fucking up that genius by giving gamers what they want!

>>715532912
My favorite thing about Concord is that every promo image exclusively showed the three most normal-looking characters

It flopped even on Playstation. Why do you think they cancelled after two weeks?

Don't forget: Mocapped Tiktoks of the "main" characters every week. That was the killer feature of Concord: You get to see these characters live out their stories OUTSIDE OF THE GAMEPLAY. In 5-minute clips.

>>715533016
It was all anyone was talking about all over the internet gaming community. That's millions of people.

It's just that only 10k-20k of those millions actually wanted to eat this slop while the rest were laughing their asses off. It was that unappealing.

>>715533151
It was also the single biggest mask-off moment for woke """gamers""".

There were more people cheering the game than actually buying it. Which is not normal.

I wonder if, in a couple years, we'll see a bunch of half-hearted westoid safe horny fanservice type games from dev teams inexperienced at that kind of thing because they spent a decade ideologically handicapping themselves by dogmatically trying to convince everyone that basic human nature is ontologically evil.

>>715524612
>zero marketing?
Cheap, in some areas, but not zero. I think they spend too much on the amazon shot, trailers and products.

>>715533971
Decades. Maybe even longer. And maybe extending to business in general. It's the biggest media flop of all time, and that record probably won't be broken anytime soon.

It's a case study in corporate hubris and self-delusion.

>>715535525
Worse. Definitely. It's better to just make a good game, but between releasing a reputation-destroying embarrassment and having a cancelled game that only people who follow gaming news or hang out in the company's communities know about, the latter actually demonstrates self-awareness and maintains most of your dignity.

Concord was the most humiliating defeat in entertainment history.

Occam's razor.

These were just lazy, immature, incompetent commies who had infinite tax dollars funneled into their company (after jumping through several proxies) to produce propaganda and control the gaming space. And they behaved like most tax funded entities do. The institutions definitely do care about videogames, which is why they've started sucking. It's the most consumed media by young men.

>>715524612
>even if it looks like shit?
Yeah, that's all it took. The gameplay was nothing special either, so it can't hard carry the ugly character design. Sony blew $400M into this piece of shit to only get 600 players at launch? Better abort the baby before it gets even worse

Sounds like Ramsus from Xenogears. Except he survived and Concord died like a bitch

>>715533110
4000 people is still a massive flop, brownoid.
It might be another Sonyfags sulking episode because their game went cross platform.
But why does Sony only port over their dei approved garbage?

>>715537961
Hyenas, it's funny that thanks to the playtest they at least saved a few millions from that money drain.
At least Nintendo put some quality control into their 2nd party studios and even then, Metroid 4 probably never makes it money back, but it won't be a complete disaster

>>715524873
You underestimate the power of manipulating NPCs.
A blind NPC would absolutely buy glasses and post a selfie online proudly stating I BOUGHT THE [brand] GLASSES EVEN IF I DONT NEED THEM, LOOK HOW FAITHFUL I AM TO [brand]

There is nothing behind the scene.

Like hyenas those multi failures are usually killed when the closed/open beta fail, but concord had those expensive cg cutscene and the amazon cartoon thing and they "had" to release it. (with minimal marketing)
Sony cancelled what, 5 more multi games and we know nothing about those.

>>715539630
>with minimal marketing
It had an international marketing like subway ads in India, a pizza deal in fucking Korea etc. limited edition gamepads, full feature on State of Snoy.
The only way you can think it had minimal marketing is if you're as fucking stupid as the IGN journalist that claimed so.

>>715539815
Dude, actual marketing for a big videogame are tv/cinema spots/trailers, some subway ads are nothing.
State of snoy is not even marketing, is the nintendo direct actual expensive marketing to you?

The only expensive stuff was the pad/merchendise but those are also made way before release, same deal for pizza promotions.

>>715540340
What i mean is, sony really believed for concord to be massive and prepared a big multimedia push, but then the beta failed and they gave up.

>>715537430
If they just charged $1M for the game, they could have actually made a profit. Why didn't Snoy just do that?

>>715529792
>>715530026
>>715533490
>>715535832
It's because the JP version was also EoSing and not wanting to deal licensing issues with the singers' vocals.

Can you guys post more Bazz memes like >>715526714 my laptop died and I lost most of them
https://youtu.be/hITAvWWeUuk

I can't stop laughing at the fact that they were probably sweating like hogs those 8 years of development to reach snoys deadlines and when it finally releases snoy deletes it from existence in two weeks and their whole studio goes under. I almost feel bad for them... almost.

>>715540340

>big videogame are tv/cinema spots/trailers
It had its own dedicated episode in a show on Amazon that was a glorified ad for many IPs.
>State of snoy is not even marketing, is the nintendo direct actual expensive marketing to you
No. Because Ninten Toddler direct, State of Snoy, whatever the fuck Microshaft does are the cheapest and most effective marketing. Especially in the case of Snoy and Nintentoddler since they have the largest share in their respective market with the most rabid mentally braindead CONSOOMER sycophants.
There was more than enough marketing. Concord stunk so bad not even their regular turd eaters asked for seconds.

I mean how could it flop SO bad?
The failure of Concord is so great it honestly defies logic. It's a Sony first-party title on PS5 and PC.

Did the guy ever get his hot sauce?

>so much time, money, and resources spent on it
>repugnant character designs
>oversaturated genre
>does nothing to stand out other than the hideous designs
People weren't desperate for more shooters in the first place and the only thing to draw players with the memory of goldfish of this day and age is with designs that appeal to their fancies. None of which in the game actually pandered to them at all.
I sure as hell wouldn't buy, let alone try out, a by-the-books JRPG with uglyass designs.

Is this the fastest a company has ever abandoned a AAA that wasn’t outright canceled? I was sure Sony would try and keep the game hobbling along for 6 months or so just to try and save face.

We live in the worst timeline.

I would unironically be up for that if they actually made it free

They purposely Tanked the game so they could run off with the funding ESG profits. They use the Terrible woke Trend as the reason for it failing because woke sucks dick but they did it on purpose. Many studios do. It's money laundering.

Ngl kinda based. People who buy modern AAA games are whiny sub humans.

If its not popular immediately it usually won't recover. There are exceptions like FFXIV or Rainbow Six Siege but those took a while and Sony probably didn't want to spend more money gambling to make it better.

The gameplay was actually decent

Decent gameplay and dogshit art design won't get you far, anon.

>>715524612
It costed money to play, that's what killed the game, retards thought it was a good idea to give it a price tag
The gameplay was slow phased giving it a bit of uniqueness (for a shooter ofc)
Characters were hideous but some of them were acceptable for some people, like the yellow robot guy
Game had its niche and could have improved, imo they pulled the trigger too fast

>>715530978
its disgusting how these anti gaming people managed to slither their way into the gaming industry
they need to be blacklisted for good for deliberately fucking up shit

>>715523396 (OP)
That's when you realize that 400m is throwaway money, chump change to those people.

>>715523396 (OP)
just another case of "the emperor has no clothes" playing out. just plain intransigence
the sjws in charge were shielded from any and all forms of oversight, scrutiny, and feedback. because if you dare speak out you're branded a heccin bigot and given the boot

jesus christ, leave digimon out of this

You are right, there is a more sinister story at the heart of concord. Besides the uninspired designs, the misalignment with modern audiences, and the bland flavorless mulch of post marvel era media is the demon we've always targeted.

Nepotism, not just the normal kind -- trading sexual favors. The creative director of the project, who had no previous creative experience won her way to the position by sleeping with the head of the studio according to my inside sources. The story was well known by people inside the studio, and I wonder if it played a part in the earlier snuffing of the studio.

Consider gamergate and it's implications, now imagine if we had another one with even more concrete evidence and the blood of an entire studio force on its hands. It makes sense that Sony might want to smother it in the cradle, though who can really say for sure?

On top of this, it's important to realize Sony is extremely protective of its brand. Studio execs typically have no idea what they're looking at and or critiquing, but when the whole world is clowning on something it's painfully obvious what needs to be done.
