Another one of these, huh?

[pwnmaster3000]

And just like concord I will be looking forward to it.

[SimpleDad]

Another one? Who is this for?

[JEECE]

People keep saying this, but the Deadlock concurrents tell me there is an audience.

[TheNamelessOne]

Looks pretty generic.

Who said " Lets make another hero game for release in 2024?" The video game industry has its struggles because of everyone wanting to jump on one singular fad for a decade straight

[JEECE]

Seems to be working for Valve.

[JunonZanon]

Well, because it is freakin' Valve. Only the big boys make it in this crowded market.

@JunonZanon

But see, that's not what people have been saying. The chorus recently has been "we don't need another hero shooter, the market is too crowded, do something different" not "we only want certain new hero shooters from certain companies." But the latter is the more accurate representation. People always say "we don't need another one of these" when a multiplayer game fails but then they forget they said it when they flock to another game like it a week later.

Condord 2.0?

[BeHunted]

FragPunk is Free to Play unlike Concord. At least it won't flop, and have more players than 700 on Steam.

[SDuck]

These flashy neon style of games are being so overly used, it's ruining that artstyle and I even liked it at first

[JunonZanon]

Another Concord?
