And yet we will never get a bloodborne remaster
I see this game mentioned repeatedly over the meme-brink, but it’s that relevant in the PC scope? Because I am beginning to think only people who had already played on PS4 care about it: it looks like the “I use Arch, btw” meme (a random guy repeated that make clear they use a product/thing… which nobody ask them about).
Bloodborne sold ~7million copies in the span of ~7 years ( ref ), for comparison a game like Sekiro (while not forgotten, you don’t see random people jumping out and say “I played/want Sekiro btw”) sold 10 million in ~4 years ( ref )
Aah you’re correct it isn’t a PC game, PS only which accounts for the sales difference for sekiro for example. Also, dark souls wasn’t really that popular until bloodborne came out, it energized the soulsborne genre. It is a very important game, a masterpiece, but unfortunately unless you get ahold of the very recently emulated version for PC, you can’t play without a PS. Sorry, didn’t realize this was a PC gaming space. I saw concord is a Sony game, and i have a bit of a one track mind.
But Sekiro isn’t a PS4 exclusive and is already on PC.
It could still be the future of Playstation. It’s never too late.
Yeah we were all busy that weekend, please bring Concord to PC again
Nobody at Sony had eyes.
I saw the poster without knowing anything about the game and thought it looked like bootleg shitty guardians of the galaxy.
Apparently it was even worse than my 0 expectations.
I’ve had a friend tell me that her stream group (and her) or whatever was happy to see these woke games die. I’m only looking at this superficially but what about this game is woke? I just thought it was shit.
Go woke go broke, just like Baldurs Gate 3 /s
I believe the game showed pronouns on the character select screen. That’s all it takes to make certain people mad, unfortunately.
I know next to nothing about this game but I believe it was the pronouns on a robot that set people off.
LPT: I t’s usually a safe bet to ignore anyone deriding a game for its “wokeness,” their opinions are reactionary and not based in any reasonable sense of reality
There are no reasonable senses of reality. Reality is a social construct enmeshed in patriarchal white supremacy.
But obviously “WOKE” is when thing I don’t like has people I don’t like in it!!
Uh…false. TLOU2 was a flop. Horizon 2 was a flop. Checkmate woke boi /s
Character design, at first look. Some original concept art was ignored or altered for reasons of inclusivity. For some reason “inclusivity” means making characters ugly, fat, and unappealing.
Essentially, from appearance, it seems someone in their D.E.I. department wanted to force a subversion of beauty standards (and believability) down everyone’s throats. Top that off with it being Yet Another Live Service Hero Shooter, and you have the majority of the gaming community taking one look at it… And then looking the other way. With a lot of others making fun of it.
For those who did bought it there seemed to be a completely pointless pronoun element to the game, and people are getting seriously sick and tired of seeing identity politics in everything.
You mean this?
This doesn’t have diddly to do with inclusivity. You’re just laser focusing on the lipstick as the source of everything and somehow connecting a woman wearing lipstick to inclusivity. I guess it’s because incels think a woman’s makeup shouldn’t be visible? The original is exactly as inclusive as the new version. The reason the new one sucks, is because they hired crap animators and probably gave them no time to do their jobs and hardly any pay.
Some internet person created this redesign and it’s exactly as inclusive as the ingame version, while also being cool.
And here’s a redesign where they made a character look less like a straight cisgender human, and it slaps! Diversity is awesome, I want more lizard cowboys.
Are you saying that you’re in the tribe of people who are sick of identity politics?
I personally find that identity politics is far too often used as a shield against genuine criticism. Some corporate types create something bland, or just outright terrible, and add a whole lot of tokenism. Someone points out that the story is terrible, the characters are terrible, and that it seems to do nothing but pander, and they’re immediately likened to some of the worst people on Earth.
Surely only the most militant alt-right extremist would criticise these committee curated progressive consumable products!
Short answer is “yes”, although it’s much less of a tribe and more just the average person.
Concord is such a terrible name it doesn’t grab attention at all. The game keep popping up on my feed and i just take a glance and move on. It’s Sony’s greatest blunder.
I would definitely pay for the game Concord, just for its brand.
If the sub title is Sony Flight Simulator
Hey, even if Concorde failed doesn’t mean it wasn’t the first commercial plane to break the sound barrier.
D…dad?
Pretty massive screw up from the marketing team involved. To try and sell a hero shooter for $40 upfront from an unknown dev studio in a crowded market of free-to-play hero shooters is pretty risky. Even Overwatch 2 saw the writing on the wall and went F2P.
…how does ANY game cost $400,000,000?
No, seriously: does that include an unlimited drugs and hookers for the c-levels budget or something?
the credits for concord list 2000 employees. It was also in development for 6 years (I would guess it probably suffered “development hell”)

Wasn’t GTA 5 like 100 millions? I mean it’s insane but in the ballpark.
265 million in 2013 money which is 358 million in 2024 money.
IIRC, it’s more like 250 million, but 250 million is still basically half of whatever this generic-ass live-service FPS game ended up costing, and it’s certainly not to the scope or scale of GTA5.
I feel like through could have come up with a copycat hero shooter for like 20 million tops.
I’ll do it for 5!

The only way to really explain the cost
400 million and I never even heard of the game.
Just watched the gameplay trailer.
Immediately noticed it looks like there’s 10 heroes, and 3 naps…
I mean, it looks like fun, very overwatch esq
