Here is a look at the Closed Alpha for the game in action.
The closed beta for Marvel Rivals has attracted over 20 times more players than the open beta for Concord.
We have to be honest... Marvel Superheroes are way more appealing than this "Teemu guardians of the Galaxy" because they have years on the market with a fan base built through ages and that's unfair comparing those, even if the game genre it's the same.
Sadly concord doesn't even hit the character designs that people can get attached with and that's gonna cost a lot.
Exactly. Not even defending Concord cuz it looks pretty blah to me. But acting like this statistic means anything is nonsense. Marvel has literal generations of fans and billions of dollars in marketing/existing IP out there. If it didn't do 20x that of Concord, it would be an embarrassing failure for *Marvel*.
It's not just that. PlayStation fans DONT WANT GAMES A SERVICE BUSINESS MODELS. They showed us just how much we love the single player experiences they provide but they're insistent thinking that's how they'll make money, but it's not. We're tired of waiting for especially Naughty Dog, what have they been doing all this time? I think they have nothing to show they've been so caught up with The Last of Us they forgot they're a game studio. They really need to get rid of Druckman. Naughty Dog has a way of doing business you don't mess with because it works. New console, new IP. Everyone's begged for more Jak & Daxter and Crash Bandicoot is now owned by the competition and they never made them because they make new IP for new consoles. Always leave them wanting more. You don't have to milk the poor cow dry. Seriously, what has everyone been doing? It's like Insomniac have been the only ones working, and sadly, all we're gonna get from their brilliant minds is them trapped on Marvel Universe, while we're on the subject
I’ll be real, had they made appealing character designs, maybe even throw some eye candy in there, I’d have checked it out. I just find the character designs to be so uninteresting and boring that it diminishes what little interest I could’ve had in the game.
Like, real talk, I hate these kinds of games, but if you added story bits and interesting characters, and cool environments I could see myself giving it a whirl.
Wow, so a game based on one of the largest collection of IPs ever that has millions of existing fans attracts more interest than a mid-budget game based on an original concept? Crazy.
