Now that Xbox is the biggest publisher and is going multi-platform, exclusivity just feels like a slap in the face for Xbox players. I just feel bad... Makes Sony look bad too.
Used it for 4 years to build hype about the desire for an enhanced version. Now they shut it down so no one can get their fix before the upcoming release. Hopefully it's as good as the Demon Soul's remake
My guess is the God of War live service game would allow players to choose which religion to be the God of War of and that would decide on their skill tree and possible starting area and enemies. Then it would play like a looter and live service DLC would give new religions, areas, and cosmetics.
I didn't buy it because it was just TOO Star Wars. I've seen all the movies and played a few games, but I wouldn't call myself a Star Wars fan. But, I bought both Jedi Survivor games because they had a lot of similar gameplay elements from Uncharted/Tomb Raider/Dark Souls.
@TheElectroFunky Then two generations ago you had Halo, CoD, Battlefield, Killzone, TF2. Even single player games like Bioshock 2 had competent multiplayer gameplay. The first, first-party Sony FPS in 11 years was Concord, and now it's dead. As a non-BR FPS fan, the genre is personally in a drought 😢
@Bigmanfan Right? We relive memories through DNA to experience the Pope using alien technology to change Western Civilization. It's always been SciFi/HisFi. People are freaking out for the wrong reasons. Backing out of TGS due to possible backlash makes sense for PR, but all of these people in the comments acting like the Japanese public even care about this game is hilarious
@OthmaneAD uh... Gender isn't woke/political lol. And even if that were the case, League of Legends and Overwatch are way more "woke" than Concord and are some of the most played games in history. Many factors caused the failure of Concord, but including one non-binary character was not the reason
It feels like they released the game with free common and uncommon skins. The store will have higher quality skins. Skins they should've used as defaults to get people interested in the game. Instead they wanted to pose as the "good guy" dev that gives everything on release, instead of a cash grab f2p
I am playing it, and it feels like the servers are already dead. I tried searching for a match in the Rivalry playlist and it took over 9 minutes and timed out. I get matched with the same players, and the regular playlists take 2+ minutes to find matches.
I feel that they should reverse course and give all preorders the purchasing price worth of in-game currency, make it F2P, and quickly implement the store and season pass planned for October. It's week one, but it feels like the game will be dead on both platforms by the end of September.
@AndyKazama Honestly, what they could do is release them one by one to make more money. I think Halo: CE Remake Remake is in development, so they could just start with that and then slowly drain the wallets of Sony fans over time. As a former Halo lover, I'd happily pay $70 annually for new Halos
I signed up for the Beta but never got an invite. I'm dying to play lol. Hopefully I get an invite later in the week. Enjoyed Concord, so I'd probably have a blast on Rivals 🤣🤣🤣
It's the first FPS from Sony in over a decade. Plays REALLY well. Team Fortress meets Destiny. It's $30 in Japan, so it's an easy buy for me. There are other "hero shooters" out there like Overwatch 2, but who plays or wants to play that? I waited 25mins to find a match and couldn't find one
The game is $30 in Japan. I pre-ordered because it's the first First Party FPS from Sony in over a decade. I played the Closed Beta and loved it. It's more Team Fortress than Overwatch. The gunplay (and haptic feedback) feel great. Usually I only have a few favorites when it comes to hero/class based shooters, but I liked most of the characters' playstyles in Concord. I'm looking forward to it. I tried Overwatch 2 right after and it just didn't feel right.
FromSoftware has clipping and bad textures, but it's gameplay and style are great, and the games are always praised. Games that are less graphically intense can utilize more of the hardware of the console as well. That's one reason why I think a lot of games are going the Fortnite/Overwatch/Valorant graphical route. Can't enter uncanny valley if you don't try to mimic reality
@WolfyTn It was a great game (possibly for it's time). There's so many games in the world, that I think you'll be okay for missing that train (especially if 2D doesn't hit you like it used to). I'm not a fan of pixelated graphics or sidescrollers, but I did enjoy it. I'd recommend Tunic (it's 3D) if you haven't played it. It'd be more of a crime to not play that than Hollow Knight
@Wilforce Gameplay-wise it felt like Anthem/Marvel's Avengers/Warframe-y. Abilities and builds were fun, but the enemy diversity felt lacking. But gunplay was very clean and addictive
@IamJT that's actually not a bad idea. Factions: The Game was cancelled, but there's still hope it could be a multiplayer aspect of the next Last of Us game
This is the first FPS first party game from Sony in over a decade. FPS players are STARVED. Destiny 2 killed its PvP, and I think this game will be a great alternative. Character design/writing-wise it looks generic as hell, but I don't think about that stuff when I'm enjoying a good gameplay experience. Think of the haptic feedback! I think it'll pick up popularity after the beta for sure

Re: How Long Does It Take to Find a Match in Concord on PS5, PC?
I live in Japan, and the average queue times are at least double this. Rivalry queue time times out because it takes too long
Re: Talking Point: Can PS5, PC Shooter Concord Be Saved?
Make it a ps plus extra game and give preorder-ers the value of the game as in-game currency. Open the shop early
