Support NeoGAF

[Hohenheim]

Looks absolutely terrible. Like a poor mans Guardians of the Galaxy fucked a poor mans Fortnite and made a AI-generated, bland and generic shooter to "appeal to a modern audience".
Fucking depressing stuff.

Thankfully there's loads of other awesome games out there, and there will continue to be, no matter what trends we have to see shotloads of in the most mainstream parts of this industry.

 

[Hudo]

This looks like a live-service game alright.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I feel like I’m watching the Western entertainment industry commit suicide in real time. This shit is depressing.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

I don’t think the market is going to support a GAAS style hero shooter with a 60$ sticker prize.

 

[Dr. Acid Avatar]

Here a quip, there a quip, everywhere a quip, quip. Get this superficial bullshit out of here.

 

[SJRB]

I understand why this is happening but boy do I hate it. I absolutely hated every moment of that trailer.

It’s just the most vapid, trite, bland, uninspiring slop imaginable. The character design, the tiresome quips, the powers. Just dreadful.

What a disaster.

 

[balls of snow]

Probably be Helldivers 2 price point.

 

[Camreezie]

That has to be free to play right?

Seeing as you can preorder i doubt it

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Game looks fun to me. Don’t understand the hate.

Only issue it seems is it has strong competition in Overwatch etc.

Outside of that seems like dumb fun.

 

[Esppiral]

The Pixar intro movie got me excited for a third person narrative game, then they showed gameplay and I vomited

Was about to write something similar and have just about zero interest in being an edgy contrarian. I mean, gameplay seems to be totally fine.

Then again, I thought Bleeding Edge and Knockout City were tons of fun for a week or two.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

I feel that that it just doesn’t seem ambitious enough, that it lacks a hook. But we’ll see after the beta.

 

[Roufianos]

You can't charge for this unless it has a campa

You can't charge for this unless it has a campaign. How hard is it to just make a new SOCOM? At least that would have a good chance of finding an audience.

Honestly, instead of thinking of an underserved market, aka tactical TPS, they'd rather just make the same shit that's been done already.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Sometimes I wonder if I am sick of Hero Shooters in general, or if it's the current trend of lame "diverse" character designs that get in the way

When you ate other freegunners and play innocent.

 

[peish]

Looks awfully generic, awful voice overs. F2p on mobile too?

I see a pattern with herman hulst paying for shitty "talent" studios

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

I’m worried it lacks diversity

 

[FewRope]

It looks fun, but if they try to sell this at full price the game is DoA

40€ or F2P would be a good start I guess

 

[peish]

I’m worried it lacks diversity

I am unhappy that western studios AGAIN drop the ball with no asian, chinese, japanese guys.

Yeah, Asia truly does get the raw end of the stick when it comes to representation in Western media.

What the hell is this?

No buy, hopefully DOA so they learn their lesson.

 

[GymWolf]

Bootleg overwatch with even worse character design.

Pass.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

A few years ago this would have looked a bit like a knowing parody, and you'd expect humour to be a big part of the package. But it just seems as close to a rip off as possible without enraging the lawyers.

Hulk smash!

Endless rage!

Shame though, people have obviously worked hard on it.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'm re-watching the trailer, in the character select screen it says the pronouns of the characters..

You're shitting me?

 

[SidViscous]

You're shitting me?

Oh god someone posted a screenshot of the character select, and it’s all ugly DEI garbage characters with pronouns.

At least the Marvel game is trying to be appealing, they made galactus a cute girl and didn’t make storm fat.

Check the upper right corner.

Clown world.

Holy fuck9ng shit, it's real.

Ok, let it burn. Burn it all.

 

[STARSBarry]

That's because they are "white adjacent" so best they can do is women, probably have to make her a lesbian at least as well as that's dangerously close to not diverse enough as it is non-binary too.

 

[Luipadre]

They sure filled the diversity quouta right there. Next gaas trash on the list of being forgotten after a month

 

[T-0800]

I hope the devs didn't read the youtube comments on the trailer looking for a positive response.

 

[SJRB]

The robot has pronouns, lmao.

 

[KURDISTAN YPG]

when i saw the trailer it was computer in space ship, i was excited, but nuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ill pass

 

[Schmendrick]

Until I saw the fucking gender pronouns in the upper right corner of the character screen I was merely disinterested or maybe a bit baffled just how generic this looked......

now I really want it to fail.

 

[TrebleShot]

Im not sure theres a market for this trash, its completely over saturated with live service hero style shooters, I try them for like 5 hours, dont spend a penny then move on but now with this and Rivals in the same showcase its just, when does it end?

We also had what like 3 souls like games that looked roughly similar as well, Im struggling to distinguish between them all.

This looks like it will have decent gunplay, but the fact its not F2P is a major red flag, all these live service type games need to be free to even get the foot in the door.

I think it will be a flop and the studio will shutter soon after launch.

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Bold of the developer to be so exclusionary towards the largest target demographic. I do hope it works out well for them.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

The robot has pronouns, lmao.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

The robot has pronouns, lmao.

WTF is the robot he/him? Shouldn’t it be it? Or is there a guy stuck inside the robot?

Remember folks, in 2024 robots have feeling now, don’t misgender he/him.

 

[[Sigma]]

Damn this shit is getting killed online.

Concord:

I didn't even pay attention to all the other stuff outside of the cinematic and gameplay. The people they got advising these games now just blows my mind. I know for a fact that I can do a better job than these mfers. That beta better be good or else lol

The robot has pronouns, lmao.

lol

 

[winjer]

This is like a really bad Overwatch rip-off.
It seems most people really disliked this trailer.

 

[DenchDeckard]

This is sonys bleeding edge for sure.

Helldivers 2 hit. It was fresh and original. This is everything wrong with focus grouped gaming. Not an original thought in the entire thing.

DOA.

 

[SNPlayen]

This dog water is DOA

 

[Tomi]

This wont sell 100%
People alrdy know this is dead

 

[FunkMiller]

I don't think you could cook up a game concept that defined everything that's wrong with the modern games industry better than this absolute slop.

It's actually quite an astonishing feat.

It'll sell about as well as Suicide Squad.

Then they'll close the studio.

This needs to fail.

For all our sakes.

 

[ProtoByte]

Poor man's Overwatch+Guardians of the Galaxy+Valorant? Fuck, could this have been more generic?

I was never interested in this game by virtue of it being a live service, but the CGI trailer gave me an impression of a more distinct aesthetic.

The realistic graphics are fine, but the character designs are not consistent or appealing. The gunplay also looks so unimpactful because the realistic models take no visible damage or animate reactions to getting peppered with machine gun and revolver rounds. Just this gameboy advance looking white highlight when they get hit. And some of them aren't even using guns! The witch is using gel pellets and the robots literally using a vacuum cleaner!

 

[T-0800]

It'll sell about as well as Suicide Squad.

No chance it does that well.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Damn this shit is getting killed online.

Holy shit you were not kidding, the comments section on the 2nd video in this thread is pure massacre, 2K likes with 11K dislikes - Not a single positive comment whatsoever

Fookin' Sony man, this is MS-levels of tone deafness on par with something like Redfall - and it's not necessarily about being a live service game either, it's just that it looks SO generic and SO cliche' and boring that it boggles the mind , it's literally Guardians of the Galaxy x Owerwatch x Destiny but even more bland and ugly being literally almost a decade late...

Who the fuck thought that this was a good idea (or, buying the whole studio even) I'll never understand, this is some truly abhorrent shit, I'm getting Suicide squad vibes here (bomba/flop), hope that they're paying attention to people's responses...

G'damn, what a tone-deaf move by Sony, shit's inexcusable

 

[IDKFA]

I really expected something better from Sony. I expected them to at least try something different.

Instead this looks like a discount Overwatch. It looks so uninspired. So boring. Just a straight copy and paste of a million other hero shooters.

Instant pass from me and probably a game that'll be DOA

 

[Optimus Lime]

Here's my review of that trailer:

Raw ass

 

[FunkMiller]

What's the betting this gets a Suicide Squad style heavy delay? The backlash to the game reveal already feels very similar.
