Oh man I remember this.. is from that woke comercial saying its not ok to say HI to woman because they will burst into flames... Gillette wasnt it ?

Yep!

 

[Banjo64]

If this was the exact same game but with hot characters, just like First Descendent, it would have sold at least 1 million.

wdym?

i’m looking at this and i’m rock hard

 

[Spyxos]

Holy shit, they really did it. Destruction allstars can only be jealous.

Pour some soy milk out for nonbinary front butt representation in gaming.

That one was another shit

 

[DenchDeckard]

Jim Ryan's sony in shambles. You love to see it.

The Japanese will turn it around now. Classic sony bring it back!

 

[Badlucktroll]

What shall become of Marathon?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

 

[Fabieter]

There's not much to comment on. The game was a failure in its current state. To be entirely honest, I love the fact that I'm getting refunded as there was nothing interesting coming to the game in quite a while. That said, I hope PlayStation does a thorough After Action Report on it and they course correct the rest of their Live Service games going forward. God, would I love to be in those rooms right now.

What's your own personal theory why it failed so badly?

 

[Swagballs717]

SECRET LEVEL IS GONNA HAVE A CONCORD EPISODE AFTER THE GAME HAS BEEN UNPLAYABLE FOR THREE MONTHS
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[SweetTooth]

Actually, I'm happy how this matter folded out. I admire Sony for refunding this disaster.

Now investigate the woke mob, and start with Druckmann then remove Hulst.

Strengthen PS brand by keeping SP games exclusive and release GAAS/multiplayer games on PC case by case.

 

[Topher]

What shall become of Marathon?

It is going to be renamed "2K run"

[CosmicComet]

LMAO

Who was that one dude on the forum that was always coping about the impending flop of this game?

How is he doing?

 

[hemo memo]

It’s on a console they own and it is actually a win because a GaaS failing big means less GaaS games getting greenlit and that’s absolutely a win.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Not at all. I love the fact that I'm getting a refund. I have no regerts.

No regerts

 

[Gambit2483]

What is their definition of "modern audience" anyway?

Resetera.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

The game is technically functional, so reworking it to be F2P probably won't take long (a couple of months, maybe). Since everyone who already bought it is getting refunded, they're kind of absolving themselves of their existing roadmap and commitments. They also have time to potentially tweak the character designs to make people actually want to play this vs the thousands of other popular free games on the market.

It'll still do laughably bad numbers, but it would allow Sony to recoup SOME costs from this turd.

That makes sense if they go F2P.

I was thinking reworking it like redoing all the graphics making it look like a different game.

[Bond007]

Im actually sort of impressed Sony shut this shit down as quickly as they did.

 

[MacReady13]

So, when does control of Playstation go back to its homeland of Japan...?

 

[Embearded]

Sony didn't believe in this and failed to support it? Really now? The same company that bought them and threw money on developing the game?

I am relieved Sony pulled the plug. Now they have to return to single player cinematic games that put them on the throne they are sitting on

 

[Success]

Holy shit.

This changes a LOT!

 

[RagnarokIV]

LMAO!!

 

[ViciousAgenda]

Oh man. I was actually loving Concord. I'll play whatever FPS that team (or whats left) make next.

Who's gonna tell him?

 

[BigBeauford]

So much for "you own Concord, Concord doesn't own you".

 

[Eesha]

Sorry im late, is the dead horse still intact? i want to give it a good last bonk.

 

[violence]

Wow that was a fast abortion.. or late abortion. Perhaps it should’ve been canceled and not aborted post birth.

Someone check in on James Sawyer!!

[ManaByte]

Now we have to wait 5 years until the PS6 for a new game. Great strategy.

 

[Cyborg]

Props to Sony for doing it so soon.

 

[clarky]

You gonna play the MP at all?

More for the PVE, im on steam and i play on Controller so don't think id fair too well against my MK brethren.

 

[balls of snow]

Wish the devs have the balls and give a gdc talk next year. How we totally fucked ourselves at reading the market, a guide to not having your game shutdown in two weeks.

 

[jshackles]

Game set to re-launch early next year as a Bloodborne spin-off

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

What's your own personal theory why it failed so badly?

Slightly inferior $40 dollar product in a F2P field.
The worst sense of progression in any game I've played in a long time.
DEI characters made the game mockable on social media. PvP type people might react more strongly against these characters.
6 game modes had "Jack of all trades, master of none" effect.

I just hope the studio leadership gets shaken up, they do a thorough review of what it did wrong, and they're allowed one more crack at a proper, forward thinking multiplayer game. They're currently hiring for 8 positions so it's possible Sony is giving them another crack. We'll see if those job postings are still up in a month.

Breaking: Live shot from the Work From Home studio

 

[StreetsofBeige]

A piece of gaming history now!

Lol. Hey you never know. Might be worth good money down the line. Given how poorly the game has sold maybe you’re the only guy in the world whose bought one! Lol

One of my coworkers goes to toys trade shows and buys up limited edition stuff. He goes for things he knows there’s only let’s say 100 where your product gets inscribed #5/100, 6/100 etc… then he sells them years later. He’d buy stuff for $100 and then he’d dump them on eBay for $500 each!

We are having more fun in this thread, that anyone who played Concord.

 

[tommib]

Omg. The fucking fibromyalgia victimization. My mother takes Lyrica for years now. She’s 82. Never complained one day of her life and this is one shitty disease.

These people are unbearable.

Guess I'll have to buy Astrochad despite it not having VR...

 

[Polelock]

Fucking priceless. We'll see if Sony learns but I doubt it.

 

[AJUMP23]

You can still get the controller.
