It’s fine, idk about great. Some characters feel good to play but others just seem off. Clear that this is more in the vein of Halo but in terms of controls it feels way to stiff vs say halo infinite. It has potential but it’s gonna get eaten alive when looking at other PvP shooters.

Hopefully that gunplay is tight as hell cause it looks like this game needs all the good things it can get.

Capcom deserves credit for this one. They didn’t force Dino crisis into a live service game, they tried to make a new ip. With all the success they have been having from their other games love to see new IPs at least be attempted.

@Jay767 the apprehension is warranted. Live service games are very hit or miss and most of the time they fail big time and numerous gamers are tired are live service games. Obviously the final verdict is gonna happen when the game comes out but this game has an up hill battle.

@ThomasHL THANK YOU THATS WHAT IM SAYING!! This is the bare minimum thing the game needed to do.

@Titntin Sony doesn’t even deserve that lol they literally doing the bare minimum in todays shooter market. It was expected that they would only do cosmetics, especially considering the game is $40.

This is giving “praise us for doing something we should be doing anyway” energy. This is literally the industry standard for 99% of PvP shooters. Of course it was gonna only be cosmetics, especially with it costing $40 out of the gate. They shouldn’t be praise for doing the bare ***** minimum

Glad it’s at least previewing well enough. It needs all the help it can get to find any kind of success. The PvP shooter genre is such a tough space and you need to have the special stuff to succeed in it. I’m not entirely against the $40 price tag if the cosmetics are cheap and generous with free stuff. But so far this game is just lacking that it factor to truly set it apart. Also find the focus on narrative to be somewhat strange when it’s a straight PvP shooter? Why not make it $70 and have it have a good campaign, could go a long way.

This is solid for this game. Yes it got marketing support from Sony but this is still a new ip from a damn mobile team that’s only being sold on a single platform. On top of this game being a little more limited in its reach cause of the very sexual nature of the game. If I where shift up I’d be happy, especially if the budget for this game was on the more reasonable end of things.

It’s a great game that would have great benefited from having a deeper rpg system and also would have benefited from being fully multiplatform.

@PuppetMaster …. If the game isn’t ready to be played by people in June, then how is it going to be ready in July? If Firewalk isn’t confident in their game that they spent over 5 years making and is Dated for release in a little over 2 months then this game is utter trash.

@PuppetMaster are you stupid?? They wouldn’t need to make a demo just literally bring in the playable version of the game. 99% of the internet is ***** on this game so giving game media a chance to play it and if it’s good spread the word would absolutely have been a good idea. The other hero shooter fragpunk greatly benefited from having a playable build there. It would have benefited them to try to spread any good will they could take.

@GymratAmarillo gonna need more than that. The gameplay needs to be so ***** good and a masterpiece to stand a chance and it’s mtx need to be so minimal. It’s insane they didn’t have it playable at SGF. Like if you think the game is gonna be good then why not have it playable to spread good previews about it. It’s insane how hard PlayStation is fumbling the bag with this game.

Gonna be funny when space marine 2’s PvP mode completely kicks concord’s ass.

@Northern_munkey they said themselves there is some of the og code in the game. Obviously they reworked a lot of stuff, but the main point I was making is that Bluepoint has experience in this type of game and at least proved they could be capable of maybe making a bloodbourne 2

@DrClayman mean that’s the easy pick. They know Fromsoft’s engine and the wording does support it being bloodborne 2. Also probably cheaper to have an internal team like Bluepoint make it vs what how much Fromsoft can charge now for development and also that they probably would rather work on an ip they own vs one owned by a publisher like bloodborne and Sony

@Enriesto Sony is stupid if they think pc players are going to leave their platform. Like you said of course they are going to greatly benefit if marathon blows up and does well

Do find it very interesting that bungie is included in this listing considering they were supposed to be a different vertical more so

@Bez87 Think of it more like they are going to be supplemental to other teams in terms of remakes potentially. Like how nixxes is the pc port team.

Both sides of this argument are blowing this out of the water. It’s a fair point that the dude wasn’t a samurai but there’s also a lot of other people that are being anti woke snowflakes as well. As usual the vocal minority on both sides of this stupid argument are ruining what is an intriguing ac game.

@lacerz it’s about finding the right niche. Helldivers is completely different than Destiny. Need to find that core niche and execute on it well. Main problem with announced games I think is fairgames and marathon. If both are in that “extraction” style of live service game.

Certainly excited about the potential of this game with the past work of the team and PS studio’s live service game output so far. Only thing I wish is that it has some type of single player campaign.

@Nexozi Ubisoft has to solve its numerous work place culture problems. Also Sony isn’t moving away from single player, it’s just expanding into multiplayer. Sony didn’t do themselves any favors with not showing any big new single player 1st party games at the showcase. If there would have been at least one or two in addition to the live service games it would have went down a lot smoother

@lacerz last year it would appear like it would happen but now it’s highly unlikely. Given Square’s renewed commitment to Xbox support they are taking a page out of capcom, sega, and fromsoftware’s playbook and realizing to make the kinda money they want they need to be multiplatform

@Nexozi Ubisoft would be a bad move. Yes they have several live service games but most of their games are right in PlayStation’s wheelhouse anyways. On top of that Ubisoft is insanely huge and adding all of that headcount would be a ***** nightmare

@EvilSilentFrame finally a person who can think logically here. Like you said bungie is going through a hard patch rn and everyone will probably forget it once final shape comes out next year. Doing 12 out the gate was dumb but instead focusing on 6 spaced out covering different genres is a good idea. Also think a lot of Sony fans are pissed off cause they didn’t show off any new single player 1st party game at the showcase and only new live service games was a dumb idea. At least give us some sugar along with the medicine

@NinjaSixx when I say shift I don’t mean every single live service game is gonna die, absolutely not. The big players “Destiny, Fortnite, etc” will remain and there will always be new games that come up and do well. I mean the shift as a more balanced industry with a healthy balance of single player non live service games and live service games. So many of the best selling games this year are single player games coupled with dozens of live service games closing is what I mean by a shift.

@NinjaSixx Tencent owns 40% and in no way would they want to sell their shares and overall epic is way way too big for Sony. Bungie was the only realistic one they could afford. Also have to look at the overall aspect of bungie and Destiny. Destiny is one of the most successful live service games there is and it is a good bet. The bigger problem isn’t with Bungie it’s with the shifting of the industry away from everything being live service.

@Shepherd_Tallon exactly this. Reality is that bungie is gonna be fine and everyone is gonna forget about this once final shape comes out. We were just talking about epic and their layoffs and a month later they are breaking player records with og Fortnite. Definitely think it isn’t a bungie problem but more of an industry problem with so many live service games shutting down and it appears the vast majority of the layoffs being from live service games.

Bungie was the only realistic one. Everyone else is owned. Now we won’t ever know but looking at past examples having single player focused teams release live service games by themselves ends horribly most of the time or it takes years for it to get figured out. The problem isn’t with bungie it’s more so the whole shifting trends away from everything being live service. Bungie is having a down moment but they still are one of the most proven teams that focus on live service games.

Not shocking elden ring won. Will say horizon is caught in this in between place of being an action adventure game and a rpg. Horizon 3 should either open up more (more weapons than just a bow and a spear, more combat options like full beast master) or be a more focused game (only one bow with a couple of different types of arrows). Pretty much pick being either a full western rpg or an action adventure game.

Ok, these awards don’t mean ***** considering gt 7 won sports game of the year

@MackinsVII in their response they specifically talked about Xbox being the exclusive home of first person shooters on Xbox. Since Sony owns bungie, there is no way in hell PlayStation won’t at least have Destiny and the other fps games they are working on. That is the point in this specific article.

@Rols when we are talking about first person shooters being exclusive on Xbox when Sony owns one of the largest active fps franchises and one of the most important fps studios it’s more than fair to bring it up. Yes comparing of the acquisitions is not an equal playing field but this specific point Sony brought up is dumb as ***** and hurts their care extremely.

Find it kinda dumb the point that Sony just bought bungie, BUNGIE, was never brought up. This point is way more damning than throwing battlefield under the bus, especially when that franchise has been on the decline for a while.

Anybody remember when slightly mad announced their new console the “mad box” way back when

@TheTony316 yea cause they aren’t on the system

@AverageGamer the reality is somewhere in between. Xbox leadership was different in the beginning of the Xbox one and Phil spencer did have a lot to fix, that being said it still is bad on Xbox’s part that they still don’t have consistent 1st party output. Things are looking brighter and will get better but criticism towards Xbox is very warranted on the lack of a diverse 1st party line up

What’s the shocking thing about this, they have said years ago they would support the sequel for a long time and look at all the stuff they added to the first one
