£16 in the UK apparently. If true, that is insanely good value. If Mario Kart World is on one end of the spectrum (GREED!) then Silksong is on the other end.
"If you remember the original trailer, it had a contemporary Robin Hood vibe to it, as squads of fashionable rogues robbed from the rich." Except you're not fighting the billionaires but each other for the billionaires' goods. Presumably while the billionaires are sat in their panic rooms eating popcorn and watching the common people slaughter each other.
The reaction to Fairgames' reveal was somehow even more negative than the reaction to Concord's first proper look (not the burger trailer). That should tell you all you need to know. The game is doomed.
Been a big Yakuza fan since the PS2 days, and I just could not get into this entry for the life of me, despite it being the most critically-acclaimed one yet. The weak main story is one thing, but the lethargic pacing and the fact that the game is crammed with scene upon scene of characters standing around statically and having conversations that refuse to end just drove me up the wall! There's no sense of urgency to anything that happens in the game. It seems like it was made just to sap as much of the player's time as humanly possible.
I recently played through all of Infinite Wealth, and as a big Yakuza fan, I honestly thought its story was a bit rubbish. Poor pacing, endless chatter and a big plot strand involving one of the main characters that wasn't even resolved.
Whoever it was at Sony that caught sight of Concord and thought it looked good enough to buy the actual studio that was making it shouldn't have a job at Sony anymore. That person or those people are a massive liability to the gaming division and their judgment can't be trusted.
I heard that some of the dialogue has been altered to make the characters more endearing and likeable than they were in the original. Is this true? If so, that's a horrible change to make. One of the best things about Until Dawn (2015) was how downright awful and hostile to each other some of the characters were, to the point of hilarity. Smoothing over the rough edges of Emily and Mike is a cowardly thing to do.
Xbox isn't a global brand resulting in poor console sales and Microsoft has conditioned its player base into not buying video games because of Game Pass. There, done. It's pretty simple.
Nearly everybody saw that this game would fail after watching just one minute of its awful SoP trailer three months back. If nobody at Sony could foresee this then PlayStation as a brand is in trouble.
The folks working on Fairgame$ must be crapping themselves right now, right? Seeing as how their game was even worse received when it was announced than Concord.

Re: Troubled Hyper Light Drifter Dev Cuts Losses with New Game, Confirms Layoffs
Hyper Light Breaker is the indie equivalent of Concord. A game no one wanted or asked for.

Re: Expect to Pay $20 for Hollow Knight: Silksong on PS5, PS4

Re: Ryo Hazuki Returns in Shenmue 3 Enhanced on PS5
Shenmue and Shenmue 2 are still two of the greatest video games ever made.
3 was a little crappy, but I for one hold out hope that 4 will eventually release and be an improvement.

Re: We Almost Got a Brand New Jumping Flash Game for PSVR2
Team Asobi could make a killer Jumping Flash! game. Think Doom meets Samurai Pizza Cats.
Re: Just What Is Going on in Capcom's Long-Delayed PS5 Game Pragmata, Then?
This is gonna be one of those games that ends on a bit emotional note isn't it. Like The Last Guardian.

Re: Until Dawn Is One of Sony's Worst Performing PC Ports to Date
What a shambles. I hope Sony cools it with the pointless remakes after this and Horizon.

I didn't buy a PS5 to play this kind of generic, derivative drivel. Hence why I pre-ordered Astro Bot yesterday and not Concord.
