Making fun of Professor Smug

I wonder if the game would have been better received with sexy models? Was the gameplay actually good?

According to those who have played it extensively:

• Good lore writing (good enough for them to want a Destiny-style campaign instead of a PvP game)
• Good gamefeel and combat
• Average Hero shooter game design
• Mediocre map design
• Bad character design
• Bad character writing

Don't get your hopes up, there's loads of this kind of shit in the pipelines.

My best memory was KyoZz getting mad at me spending €40 just to try the beta*.

*At the time I was under the impression a pre-order was required to access the beta.

 

[calico]

Remember when it failed because there was no market for a new hero shooter and then Marvel Rivals came out.

I actually played the beta a bit. There was a solid foundation there, but even if it was excellent it was never going to be sustainable as an exclusive, $40, PvP only title. Not many games of this type will be in this climate.

Unlikeable characters, confusing and poorly balanced abilities. Some maps were ok, some were just awful. The weapons were hit and miss, both in look and feel.

The idea of an ongoing narrative in multiplayer games is just stupid unless it's a massive franchise. Even Halo and Division 2 didn't manage it, and we all know the pathetic state Destiny 2 is in.

Ultimately the continued high profile cautionary tale of Concord is proportionate to how large the marketing and hopes were on it from PlayStation. Very similar to Destruction: All Stars.

In reality you could get a similar and more satisfying experience from playing Halo MP in the MCC. And that was the problem, it felt dated and too much like 'my first game' but with really good artists in the team, being hamstrung by terrible designs.

well can't be more agree, i saw some still cooking ugly product sadly
some said that this will be ended in as far as 2027, meh meh meh

An utter waste of time and resources. We could have gotten a new wipEout, Resistance or a Killzone game.

That wasn't my point but whatever.

It was an ugly car that people didn't even wanted to test drive

 

[MayauMiao]

Few days ago we were celebrating its failure to launch. How short was the game lived!

 

[Sintoid]

Mod can consider a Sub forum dedicated to Concord topics?

Enough is enough

 

[Feather049]

Dang, time really flies fast. It felt like we made fun of it yesterday lol. Honestly it's poetic how the game's failure was such a huge success. Sweet irony. Oh well, even if it was successful and huge, I have still lost interest in these type of games long time ago. It relied on a genre that was far bigger back then (come to think of it, the game has been in development for so long before release).

The Professor gets in her car and takes it for a spin every now and then still

 

[SkylineRKR]

An utter waste of time and resources. We could have gotten a new wipEout, Resistance or a Killzone game.

Even SOCOM or Warhawk... they could do literally everything instead of this and it would've been better.
