A little bit too early, huh?

 

[dotnotbot]

 

[Guilty_AI]

Do we still have anything on the game besides this teaser?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Looks like another GAAS game launching day one on PC.

 

[Punished Miku]

Is everything okay at home Men_in_Boxes ? We're here for you man.

 

[Luipadre]

[Tsaki]

I just want the gameplay of the Crucible without the balance issues borne of Destiny's PvE.
Please and thank you!

[R3EUIL]

It's so empty in here...

 

[DeepSpace5D]

I don't think it's for me. Looks like it could be fun though. Appears to be competing with Overwatch and those type of games. Gives me a little bit of Destiny vibes as well.

I might give it a chance.

Let this thread die.

 

[R3EUIL]

Let this thread die.

If it's up to Men_in_Boxes, it won't happen

 

[adamsapple]

OT?

 

[ZehDon]

It's so empty in here...

There's more people reading this thread than will play the final game.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

They should have just gotten an official Guardians of the Galaxy license for this game

 

[mitch1971]

I'll pass. Not really my cup OT

 

[Oddvintagechap]

They aren’t that popular. Would have been better to use Playstation characters.

Or done some GaaS Socom game.

 

[Guilty_AI]

game is doomed it seems

 

[R3EUIL]

game is doomed it seems

The only person who cared about this game...

 

[gpn]

Remember when they showed Foamstars last year and everybody watching knew it was going to fail? I got deja vu watching the Concord reveal today.

 

[Ribi]

so its a massive MMO space game right? right?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

 

[R3EUIL]

Fairgame$ is the next...

Dead on arrival
Serves them right.
They couldn’t have made a more generic game if they tried.

You have a team of 200 people putting their minds together, and that’s what you come up with?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

"While our core gunplay will feel familiar to shooter fans, the versatility and variety of each Freegunner and their abilities makes it so aim and thumbskill alone aren’t always enough to come out on top. Each Freegunner’s abilities are designed to make it so that players of a wide range of skill levels and play styles can be effective—even those that are new to the genre—while providing additional challenge and depth for those looking for high-stakes, high-sweat competitive play."

Reeeaaally hoping they lean into this hard.

Do you even like multiplayer games? Game ain't dead on arrival. Wait for previews. Should be out next week

 

[Heaven Angel]

GaaS games like these are the future boys, are your wallets ready?

[Hohenheim]

GaaS games like these are the future boys, are your wallets ready?

Yeah, my wallet is ready for the upcoming Steam summer sale, where there's shitloads of great singleplayer indie and AA games.
This stuff might be part of a future, but definitly not the only path.

Game looks terrible, and I kinda hope it bombs, just so Sony maybe focus more on the stuff they're good at. But there's so many other companies making great stuff, so I don't really care.
The question is if this game can win over the Overwatch / Fortnite crowd. It previews are positive, it might be a banger for those interested in these kinda of games.

 

[DJ12]

GaaS games like these are the future boys, are your wallets ready?

Only for people that like FPS games. I don't so future looks good for me.

 

[GymWolf]

Why do we have the ot? Is the game already out?

 

[Bartski]

LMAO

 

[FunkMiller]

Boxes went forward in time to make the OT for Concord.

I went slightly further forward in time and saw it peaked at 2000 players concurrent on Steam.

I'm kidding guys, I also HATE GAAS games with passion.

 

[hlm666]

A hero competitive shooter?? when did this go into dev at the height of overwatch, R6S or valorant? If it was more recent whoever green lit it isn't paying attention.

 

[Heaven Angel]

Straight copy from Guardians of the Galaxy and Valorant. Talking about saturated market, these things keeps on pouring in.

Bro I'm fucking dying here, everyone in the office is looking at me funny from laughing so hard, and I can't explain to them why this is so funny.

Try half that, at best.

 

[FunkMiller]

Try half that, at best.

I'm a generous soul.

 

[STARSBarry]

Try half that, at best.

Honestly I think it should peak at about 2017, which is the same as the date it would have to launch to be relevant.

Did they like change game direction at some point? Lololol

 

[tmlDan]

I avoided the thread reaction to this because i know Gaf would hate it but i thought this look pretty damn good, we won't know if it will be a success until we play it though.

I'll be back with impressions when i play the beta.

I really hope this is F2P but you can buy a deluxe edition of some sorts for beta access, thats what im hoping "preorder now for beta access" means.

From the Discord:

Crossplay?

"There is cross progression and cross-play"

Will there single player content in the future?

They did not confirm or deny it, they said they might depending on how things go for the game.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Did they like change game direction at some point? Lololol

It sure feels that way. I wonder if it was meant to be more like Borderlands.

 

[clarky]

Loved Halo Reach's MP? How about Destiny' crucible? Destiny 2 ?

Thats right Legendary PvP designer Josh Hamrick's paws are all over this.

Edit: 5 years they've been at this lol.
