Basically I want a mixture of Destiny and Helldivers with a real, compelling, ongoing narrative that we affect and a huge, evolving world. Actual meaningful timed events. Most games/mmos that attempt this mail it in. I want epic, real time events, one-offs, and evolving story. Community driven outcomes is where it’s at. I want ppl calling out of work bc the battle of the century is occuring at this specific time only. It would create buzz.

No chance it is shut down in under a year as it’s a Sony first party. It’ll flop not because it isn’t quality but because it isn’t original and for whatever reason the legion of mouth breathers have decided Concord is where the buck stops in terms of hero shooter clones.

I think the gameplay is solid and the visuals and art style as well. I like the faux Guardians of the Galaxy setting n tone far more than Overwatch, Valorant, Apex etc. I love the cinematics each week immersing us into the world. However, it is several years late imo. Even as a PS5 launch Concord might’ve hit but in 2024 it’s tough despite the fact that OW2 stinks.

But by no means will this game be without servers in under a year I mean is Destruction All-Stars still going? That game flopped hard and was third party. Sony has to support Concord for over a year regardless of how much money they drop because as a PS Studios title their name demands it and they know it. It’s part of their GaaS portfolio. HD2 will subsidize it two years min.

I mean…Helldivers 2 refutes your argument.

It’s not f2p, it’s all shooty pew pew with essentially forced co op AND…it’s the most successful Sony game ever up to this point.

They didn’t know HD2 would be an Overwatch 1 type success. They couldn’t have planned when these games would release at the time they were green lit. And Concord will not hurt Helldivers in any way man. HD2 has over 12 million buys, it’ll probably hit 25 million lifetime if it continues to succeed but even if it doesn’t it’s ALREADY a success.

I agree Bungie was a waste of cash and Firewalk acquisition should’ve been Arrowhead but I’m willing to give these devs a chance. If we just scoffed at every live service shooter via Sony HD2 wouldn’t have succeeded.

Concord isn’t original looking but ppl are trippin if they claim the gameplay and production looks bad. It doesn’t. Why do ppl support Valorant yet hate Concord? Concord imo has better visuals, art style, and production elements while gameplay looks on par.

Sony owns the IP and studio. It’s first party which are virtually always exclusive at launch. But i agree, tbh, Concord imo would do well on XB.

Tight gameplay suggests high quality gameplay/combat as well as refined movement and controls.

As opposed to if the combat and movement looked sluggish, low quality, and sloppy.

Like Destiny for example has tight gameplay. Is it hard to understand? Crisp shooting and precise movement. Well integrated abilities. Tight shooting mechanics. Not laggy.

I play HD2 without plus..

You can’t tell them anything because the devs and whoever greenlit this game use places like Reddit to gauge opinions, unfortunately those places aren’t based in reality or actual paying consumers.

If this game tanks they will blame YOU the consumer for not spending your hard earned money like they have a right to your finances. They won’t be self reflective and hold themselves accountable, it will squarely be your fault.

Yeah for real. Astro Bot is coming, thank God.

It is unique in a sense, but it reminds me of Battle born. If only they could bring that game back that was over shadowed by Overwatch.

All in all Fragpunk looks more interesting to me than Concord.
