@Tecinthebrain the difference is Anthem sold 5 million copies so its common and readily available. scarcity is what can drive value of alot of games and a physical copy of concord will be rare.
now if you cant actually play it me personally i cant see the value in that
@ProfessorNiggle A very dumb decision to can a game rather than hand it off to another studio to run it. imagine if Firewalk was running faction 2 now rather than wasting time and money on this that would be a completely different story than this failure
@Zeke68 @ProfessorNiggle @Skywardx I was canned because bungie didnt like the long term monetization of factions 2.
Naughty dog didnt have to run the game they have already made it then get a studio like Firewalk to run it and make content for it. leaving naughty do to make LOU3
@Skywardx the thing thats even more concerning they decided to buy the studio in 2023 when they must have known full well what Concord was. what were they thinking ? let alone cancelling it they doubled down and thought it was so good we'll buy the studio
the concerning thing is their research seems to be leading them to the wrong choices. they cancelled Last of us factions 2 i can tell you with no market research at all factions 2 would have succeeded due to the IPs popularity and it being different than alot of games out there. now how long and how big multiplayer factions would be is a different matter but it was an infinitely better bet than Concord
@KundaliniRising333 69 average on metacritic from 21 critic reviews isnt terrible its average. higher average score on Metacritic than concord but yet concord scored higher on here.
push square always seem to score games differently than the norm
having just played it dont think it needs a remake just a remaster. the story does a great job of wrapping up the saga and the cutscenes still look great for a 2008 game.
maybe they made it first person because they didnt want to be accused of making an uncharted clone despite the fact that there were indiana jones games long before there were uncharted games
hundreds of millions of pounds wasted making this and buying the studio.
what do they do with Firewalk after this? they wont shut them as they just bought the studio but you cant trust them to make their own game anymore. support studio maybe
@AdamNovice internet dumping all over games they haven't played is nothing new silent hill 2 dump on it, starwars outlaws dump on it then the next game rinse and repeat. Concord is just the next one.
physical only sales only chart is pointless when sonys latest figures say 80% of gaming sales are digital. thats a huge amount of the market not accounted for
pretty bad journalism when you just assume a game uses unreal 5 despite you know the game is made by Cryteck so obviously is using their own game engine CryEngine

Re: Reaction: PlayStation Needs to Take a Long, Hard Look at Itself

Re: Failing Manufacturers Are Pushing the Narrative That Consoles Are Dying, Says Ex-Xbox Exec

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Design Seemingly Leaked
you will be able to connect the already existing disc drive add on you can get for the slim.
they are going to price it as digital console because it then makes customers the price isnt that bad compared to a disc slim
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Design Seemingly Leaked
i do find it odd that majority want a disc drive but 80% of game sales on PlayStation are digital.
so they pay for it but dont use it
Re: Konami 'Aware' That Metal Gear Solid 4 Is Still Stuck on PS3

Re: Indiana Jones Devs Are Hyped the Game's Coming to PS5
@Stevemalkpus Machine games make first person shooters using the first person IDtech engine Doom uses thats why its first person
Re: Preview: As Uncharted Rests, Xbox Provides PS5 Adventure in Indiana Jones
mainly the reason its first person is machine games use the IDtech engine that Wolfenstein and Doom use and thats a first person engine
Re: Preview: As Uncharted Rests, Xbox Provides PS5 Adventure in Indiana Jones
maybe they made it first person because they didnt want to be accused of making an uncharted clone despite the fact that there were indiana jones games long before there were uncharted games
Re: Preview: As Uncharted Rests, Xbox Provides PS5 Adventure in Indiana Jones
machine games did an excellent job with the Wolfenstein games so looking forward to this
