3rd time's the charm!

didnt this get canceled?

>>720105976
>>720105976
Not yet
I don't think there is a single person who believes in this game

>>720106047
this game has the same vibe as "hyenas" lmao.
that was the one that got canceled.

Surley this time corporate crafted DEI soulless slop game will make gorillons and be loved by everyone

>>720105976
no, but the studio creator left
and so did it's lead creative director

>>720105976
Did it?

How many of these live service games do they need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on and years of development only for them to completely flop do they need to make before they stop? Like at least take a hint from the small devs throwing together something in their basement and having it turn out super popular.

Just watched the trailer. What's the logic behind multiple gangs trying to steal the same stuff at the same time? Noone would do that.
This game is definitely going to bomb. Looks like one retard who pushed this game on the company is going to find out the hard way.

>>720106159
>that was the one that got canceled.
Only after it was literally complete and weeks out from launch lmao

>>720105976
Rumors of its cancellation went around because people trusted Michael Pachter (big mistake)

>>720105905 (OP)
I hope it comes out. Cancelling it ruins the fun.

>>720105905 (OP)
I can't wait to have a blast sticking to those rich bastards!

Until it works. That's the plan. They know full well that the vast majority of these live service games will fail. The plan is to eventually get a hit that will make so much money that it renders all the losses (money, employees fired, studios purchased only to be shut down) worth it, because Fortnite makes that much money.

>>720106526
Hermen Hulst is absolutely convinced live service is the way forward for Playstation, the ride hasn't even begun yet.

>>720106526
The problem is with the massive amount of money these games can generate if they are successful. They cost as much as any other AAA slop, but they have the potential to milk their playerbase for years. You can probably fund like 10 of them and even if only 1 succeeds it will be worth it if you compare it to releasing 10 AAA games that all do moderately to fairly well.

>>720106526
Investors are largely unchecked gambling addicts who will happily waste $200M+ a time on a 0.001% chance that it will become the next $50B+ fortnite 2.0

this is literally a classic heist movie theme

>>720109815
literally who
the rumors started because jade raymond left and snoy hasn't bothered to advertise it anymore. then it was last week or so another motive studio head left and failed sideways to wb games.

MMMMM JADE I WANNA PLAY YOUR GAME

TOTAL

AAA

BANKRUPTCY

but I wanted to play jade's game :(

If sony wanted money, they could've just made a gacha but those are too lewd and icky. So instead they burn 1 billion dollars.

>>720105905 (OP)
It's even worse than Concord. At least the catgirl was hot and Bazz was memorable

>>720106526
They look at mobiles and those games work. They can't understand why this isn't working for a more highly detailed console version. WHY WONT YOU PIGGIES JUST THROW MONEY AT US REEEEEE

>>720113151
Is Fortnite mostly played on phones? Genuine question, I dunno if retarded screaming kids still want PCs nowadays

>>720113151
it's basically the exercise of a bunch of high-functioning autists who look at fortnite, destiny and genshin impact and can't understand why simply copying them doesn't also make them an identical amount of profit

with ai slop development getting faster and faster the pace of these games getting released is only going to get quicker and quicker. the latter half of the 2020s are going to be very, very, grim.

>>720113224
Its playable on IPADS yes. Some phones can run it too.

>>720113224
They added a new gamemode called Blitz which is 30-32 player matches designed for mobile gaming, where games draw to a close in 4-5min due to storm circle acceleration
It was originally only intended to be there for 2 weeks but it proved so popular that it's basically become permanent with 100K+ players at any one time

>>720113224
>Is Fortnite mostly played on phones?
i thought this was a one of the larger motivations for tim suing apple because he wants more money.

>>720113275
I know it's playable, I'm asking where the biggest playerbase is.
>>720113293
Isn't 100k only like 1/20 of their userbase?
>>720113334
Good point

>>720113362
yes, but it's still a very sizable amount that they would be silly to then turn away

"Eat the rich"-Core ass game, where you can hate and rob billionares all you want but god forbid you hate the GOOD billionaries (i.e. their shareholders) or even worse, you say something mean to somebody. Here we're all about le heckin respecfulness and inclusivity.

>>720114537
Respectfulness and inclusivity: sheboons with resting cunt faces.

>>720105976
Not yet, but the Studio's CEO, Jade raymond, resigned.

>>720106526
They look at Roblox and Fortnite and think:
>How can we adapt this to our audiences?
And for some stupid reason they think their audience is women or DEI related and for obvious reasons (CoD) they think their audience wants shooters.
What happens if you combine DEI and shooters? Concord, because one goes against the other.
>But muh Overwatch
Overwatch had success because it was fun and had a ton of gooners, like Marvel Rivals. The DEI was almost flavour text that did not affect the game outside of Reddit troons

>>720105905 (OP)
what is the second game?

>>720115259
>They look at Roblox
>>How can we adapt this to our audiences?
Having pedophiles?

>>720115883
Marathon

>classic heist movie
Exactly. Taking anything from Hollywood is fucking retarded.

>>720105976
They fear a total chud victory so they haven't yet

>>720116443
Probably already put too much money into it?

>>720113140
Actually fuck you for calling that thing a "catgirl". I hope you step on a lego.

how many tranny games are they going to make lmao

>>720116562
Cancelling it like Hyenas will always be cheaper than releasing it like Concord.

>>720116137
Pedophiles that spend a lot of money and kids that also spend a lot of money

>>720105905 (OP)
Rename it to "Concord Hyenas: The Clapback Saga" and we can talk.
And also add Bazz.

PS Plus price is about to go up another 5 bucks

>>720113095
lol that monkey on the right is doing a s o y face

>>720106319
Jades not there anymore?

>>720118791
I think all the loyal PlayStation gamers would be happy to pay another $20 per month for such a boutique brand- after all, this is the Apple of gaming!

I agree the rich are bad people but liberals are so childish regarding why they are bad

>>720106526
Xbox has multiple successful live service games.
Nintendo has multiple successful live service games.
Sony has zero successful live service games. That's why they need to keep doing it.

>>720106526
As many as it takes until they get several successful ones they can monetize to high hell because they see the recurring revenue for multiple years as a major profit point for them and they don't want to give up that potential moneymaker regardless of how much money they blow into it. Keep in mind their CEO said they're still going to make live service games after they've shuttered like a dozen, Marathon and Fairgame$ are both dead men walking, and Concord's massive failure.

They can't seem to grasp that the entire success of a live service is completely random if it takes hold or not, and many people are already dedicated to one or two live service games that they literally cannot pump any more time into other games. It's already hard enough to find time for stuff if you have two GaaS games on your plate when you're not working let alone a normalfag. Marvel Rivals succeeding likely didn't help quell this thought process either.

>>720123438
fortnite was an accidental success that was originally thrown out there with zero faith into any staying power and look where it is now
but the dinosaurs in business suits don't want to acknowledge that

>>720112893
If there was one big thing to steal but it seems there's regularity in things to steal so either they divvy up the turf or kill each other to have no competition.

>>720123550
Fortnite wasnt accidental. They copied PUBG and it was F2P, stealing their massive fanbase for battle royale games.

>>720123683
Fortnite was accidental. It was originally a tower defense game if I remember right and was dying an unknown death. They decided to make a battle royale mode as a Hail Mary play to try and get anywhere with it and it managed to take hold because at that point in time battle royale games were at the height of their popularity. Even that one game show one that I can't remember the name of got popular for a few years because of that craze. It's why Cliffy B. made a Hail Mary play with Radical Heights but by that point people were cemented into Fortnite, PUBG, and you can argue Rust.

>>720123959
That and PUBG just so happened to be having a few issues at the time in terms of keeping up with the immense demand that the playerbase had for it.

>>720105905 (OP)
these publishers are corporate monoliths who take decades to steer course. the only thing they can comprehend in the short term is their short sighted greed. they still think cancel culture of 2015 - 2020 is in full swing. they are incapable of thinking long term, they cannot see the forecast that is so blindingly obvious to everyone else. those who are responsible for these games are failing upwards, so expect to see no end to this slop.

>>720123959
Yeah, it was tower defence against zombies. You made a fort and defended yourself at night- hence, Fortnite.

>>720105976
Technically, not yet. But anyone who is anyone knows it's dead. That said, until we get official confirmation the culture war faggots will continue to shill it and make ragebait threads.

>>720124225
I remember reading an article about fortnite in a physical copy of PC gamer, yeah. It was a legit zombie/crafting game from inception. Never would have guessed it would turn into a Tiktok meme machine game. They lucked out really hard. Were able to see the demand in the market and adjusted to fill it quickly. As much as I dislike Fortnite, props to them. They made it.
