@Truegamer79 Assassin’s Creed was a new IP at the moment. So, of course it had many issues and inconsistencies. Outlaws is using a well established IP and Ubisoft is supposed to have mastered open world games by now. Outlaws being at this state is unacceptable for such a hyped game.
@AhmadSumadi this is unprecedented. A game that Sony went so far to promote that didn’t even made 30k in sales, less than 200 concurrent players on PC and got canned less than 2 weeks of release is definitely one of the biggest flops in modern gaming history. Sony lost more than $200M on Concord. Not even Duke Nukem Forever failed this badly.
@47Levi There are channels that discussed the concept art of Concord characters and they were actually good looking and interesting, unlike… what we got in the end. Something definitely happened that derailed this game’s goal and feel on those 8 years it was supposedly in development.
@__jamiie Just like Sony pulled the plug on Concord, I also pull the plug on people who want to impose their beliefs and ideologies unto others. Block/ignore them and save the stress.
This is definitely Playstation’s biggest flop probably ever in its existence. Making live service games is like playing the lottery. Helldivers 2 won big, but Concord got its wings clipped.
Raising prices won’t change anything but punish those early adopters even more. People will still wait for the inevitable discount or just won’t buy them ever at full price unless they are Nintendo games.
I stopped watching when they gave Tencent, of all companies, a environmentalist award. Tencent pollutes the environment with their almost unlimited servers running on their games
Nintendo never permanently reduced the Switch’s prices and it has managed to sell 140M units. It’ll be fine for Sony. The Xbox, though, they really need to rethink their pricing
Bungie’s CEO was good friend with Phil. Phil begged him to buy back Bungie, and he chose Sony instead because of “MuH iNdEpEnDeNcE”. Now I can confidently say that he can eat $#|+
It didn’t make sense at all that an optional device was more expensive than the console itself. $350 now puts the psvr2 in the same field as the quest 2 or base quest 3, as it should’ve been to begin with.
Basically most genres are overcrowded by now. Souls-likes, roguelikes, 2d platformers, pixel art rpgs, overwatch clones, battle royales, etc., have been the bread and butter recently, and as long as people keep buying them, it won’t end…
“As reported by PSU, Humble Games has stressed that this does not mean the publisher is shutting down and that currently ongoing projects will not be affected.” They laid off the entire freaking team. How are those “not affected”?!?!

Haters are right most of the time. If you noticed, there are more comments here than concurrent players in Concord 🤣

Yup. High budget and dirt cheap at the same time fits this game right. Feels like the borderland movie 😂

Re: PSVR2 Sales Explode After Sony's Deep Price Cut, Up More than 2000%
It didn’t make sense at all that an optional device was more expensive than the console itself. $350 now puts the psvr2 in the same field as the quest 2 or base quest 3, as it should’ve been to begin with.
