What even was this announcement?
Some CG and a title ...

crazyCoconuts429d ago

yup, no clue - don't even know what to expect
Now if that was 30 seconds of Twisted Metal Black CGI I'd be a happy camper

I_am_Batman428d ago (Edited 428d ago )

I will never understand why publishers think a vague cg trailer is a good way to announce a new IP.

I don't think cg trailers should be a thing at this point at all, but at least it can work for something like MGS 3 remake, because simply knowing that it's real is somewhat exciting. With a new IP however, nobody knows what they're looking at.

IanTH429d ago

Why even show a PvP title without gameplay? A single player game, you can get a gist for the story, the tone, things of that nature. That's what this felt like it was trying to do. But for PvP? It's almost worse than nothing. Truly confusing.

I was really skeptical about this game but after sinking 4 hours into the game. I actually really enjoy it.
I was surprised how much I liked it after downplaying it. Gameplay was fun. I might have to buy it.

whats funny is the game wasnt on my radar until i saw a lot of people bashing it calling it rubbish before theyve played it. i played it when the beta came out and thought it was amazing. i didnt go into it thinking anything much other than its just another thing ill probably like or dislike

StormSnooper9h ago

People who have played it love it. People on internet insist it’s horrible. 😆

I think alot of us just don't want it. This isn't the type of games we want to see from Sony and it's talking sht sure but in the end we will show em with our wallets. I'm sure this will sell but they probably expected more in the end. I've always stuck with Sony cause I prefer their games and rpgs. In real life Sony let Ms buy up a huge chunk of the wrpg market and their giving us this to play.

On the bright side I like jrpgs the most and alot of devs won't even touch Xbox so ps is the winner by default.

StormSnooper8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Sony didn’t let MS buy a huge chunk of the industry, MS and their lobbyists did that. Also, Sony will not be able to compete with MS if MS gets a pass on their gaas games while Sony’s are criticized for doing the same thing. Almost all MS games have been gaas games but they don’t receive the same backlash. In other words, Sony are crucified because we liked their single player games despite that they said the gaas games won’t deter them from their single player heritage.

Lastly, MS buying a chunk of the wrpg industry may give them temporary leverage, but, as we’ve seen, even their pockets are not deep enough to keep those games off PlayStation. Furthermore, if MS manages to block games from Sony, the forces of supply and demand will eventually fill in for what MS took from everyone.

Ps: I’m 95% single player gamer. But I don’t think just because I’m not interested, I need to bash a new game that is not even out yet. If you liked Sony’s single player games you shouldn’t prevent Sony from competing in the gaas genre.

This game is giving me sea of thieves vibes in the sense that there is a good base game there, which just needs to be expanded upon with community feedback until it shapes up into something special. If the studio sticks with it, it could end up being something entirely different in 5 years.

MrNinosan3h ago

So just because you (or alot) don't want the game, you feel that the bashing is deserved?

If I don't want Barbie games or Call of Duty I gladly just pass and don't mind them.

Sony bought Firewalk 3 years after they started on Concord. We PS fans didn't lose anything because of this, we just got more choices and since when is that bad?

Now I can keep on ejoying my single player games, while people who like hero shooters can play Concord or people who like Helldivers can play that.

The bashing on Concord, by people who haven't even played it, is just ridiculous.

X and Youtube is filled with hate for nothing, and they all write about only 1k whatever played the beta, but the are way more than those thousands that are bashing the game.

It's lame...

Not every single game is meant for YOU or everyone.

Before Helldivers 2 and Concord, Playstation got bashed for only having single players third person story telling games. Now they're expanding (not removing), and still receives constant hate.

I hope Concord succeeds, just like Helldivers 2 and silence all those cry babies.

this cancer is the left over of jim ryan, hope sony will just cut them down and move on because now they kick jim ryan out, that B does more damge for PS brand more than anyone in PS3 era

They all reveal post launch plans and content. Doesn't usually pan out if nobody is playing.

Be interesting to see how far they go. If they get very Far at all.

just_looken17h ago

Yeah this is something you post about before you drop a beta few weeks out from launch,

Direct link to there post: https://x.com/PlayConcord/s...

This should have been tossed out with the beta so people can go oh ok these betas are bad but maybe the full game might have worth while content. Now the few hundred or so will get to see what the game has to offer.

As someone that played it seeing 2 game modes in the main screen was a worry though lets face it the only good thing was the feedback of shooting and the quality cut scenes (not speech graphics)

shadowT1d 11h ago

beta was really fun to play.

pwnmaster300017h ago

Agreed. I was surprised how much I actually liked it. I admit I was one the people who bashed the living hell out of this game when I first saw it but I was proven wrong.

CrimsonWing6916h ago

It’s ok, you like what you like. There’s like 300ish people that legit love Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League and claim the hate is unwarranted. I wouldn’t know though since I’m not putting any money or my time into that pile of sh*t.

Flakegriffin8h ago

Agreed! I loved it! Can’t wait to pick it up day one.

Wow isnt this awesome!
Years down the line, this game will totally be a paradigm shift in the esports scene right?
Right?

PapaBop11h ago

Honestly feel bad for the developers, the amount of hate isn't really fair. There is some really neat ideas that just doesn't come together. They'd have been better going F2P battle pass route, saying you own the game, the game doesn't own you sounds catchy but Helldivers 2 shown you can do BP without FOMO. The game clearly needs more time to cook, best thing they can do is delay for a few months and re-evaluate their business model for the game otherwise this will be Lawbreakers all over again.

rpvenom7h ago

They should just rehaul the game and make it PVE and campaign based and have PVP as an option. Go destiny route and might see more success with the characters and story building.

Special Concord PS5 Controller Looks More Appealing Than the Game

Most expensive limited edition PS5 pad yet

darthv721d 8h ago

Not really interested in the game, but I do love me some controllers.

VenomUK1d 7h ago

Funny headline! 😁

The controller matches the No Man’s Sky aesthetic.

hombreacabado1d 6h ago

you can write "flight of the" on the back of the remote incase you liked the show and not the game

just_looken1d 1h ago

With the stick drift the new pads have and the crap battery life we all need a second or third pad for sure.

This is a nice looking ds5

Hypertension1401d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

@just_looken

Yea, I know you're jealous of the dualsense and wished Microsoft did something similar.

Just get a PS5, games feel more immersive thanks to the controller..........

shadowT1d 7h ago

this design is really special

Gameseeker_Frampt1d 2h ago

$15 more for some decals on your Black Dualsense...smh

I'm not holding my breath that Sony will be bringing us a special Astro-bot controller. So far just about every other Sony IP gets shafted on special edition hardware- yet the medicore new GaaS gets one. Fanatics will still try to claim that Sony isn't focused on GaaS.

VenomUK1d 1h ago

The standard DualSense is an Astrobot controller!

Gameseeker_Frampt1d 1h ago

Fair enough, lol.

Although I still would like to see one of the white controllers that has the black parts swapped to blue and has a black touchpad with 2 blue circles on it.

Vits10h ago

Honestly, I want plates. I really liked the original Xbox 360 faceplates, and I see even more potential with the PS5 plates. But so far, Sony doesn't seem too interested in that. We had the Spider-Man special edition, which wasn't sold separately from the console, and that was basically it in terms of their own game-themed plates.

darthv728h ago

the spider-man plates were sold separately... and there were others as well like the Lebron James ones.

The SM ones are pricey now but they certainly are obtainable by themselves.

Vits7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

@darthv72

They are sold separately only in some regions. Mainly in the US and even in those places, from what I can find, they were sold in such limited numbers that they might as well just be limited to consoles. As for the Lebron version, it's not game-themed.

Knightofelemia20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

If I collected controllers I would go for it. But I don't collect controllers I'd be curious if there was a limited edition PS5 which I doubt will happen. Just looking at art on the controller I get that retro Atari 2600 vibe to it.
