Looks better than the game.

Honestly think I may buy it lol.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Lebron controller clear

 

[Leviathicus]

Microsoft vibes. I wonder If we are going to get a Jim Ryan's ass controler soon.

 

[nial]

Good for them, It's the obvious move. IMO Sony is focusing resources and marketing efforts in the wrong place.

Helldivers 2 should get a cool controller, too. Capitalize on your success, not on failed projects. That's why I say that part of Sony's management lives in a bubble, oblivious to what their fanbase wants. This is a dangerous trend that inevitably leads to huge losses.

I mean, this was 100% planned before even the May reveal, and it's just being announced now in the time frame between the open beta and the game's actual launch.
Bolded is such an exaggeration and I don't believe you actually believe that Concord has somehow received more marketing push than Helldivers 2.
Heck, and this is just what? A controller? Some of their biggest flops ever even had entire console bundles. Talk more about that supposed 'dangerous trend'.

 

[Audiophile]

I'll pay extra for one without the Concord logo on it.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

Where's the Astrobot Dualsense?

 

[Little Chicken]

Doesn't look fat or asexual enough.

 

[Joelenheimer]

i'd buy if if the stick doesn't fucking drift

 

[TropicanaTwista]

I will never forgive Sony and Firewalk for what they did with this IP. The logo, the UI/ player cards in the beta and now this controller all have some type of intrigue with this 70/80s sci-fi. Then you look at the characters and their color palette

Like seriously, WTF happened here. (Also, $85 is a crazy price for a controller with some added design, should be the same as a regular dualsense, which is arguably already overpriced).

Angry_Megalodon This is what the PlayStation ChinaJoy booth looks like:

There's a big statue of Astro Bot in the front and center of the booth, with two large screens showcasing the game's trailer; while Concord is relegated to an advertisement in the back of the whole thing. It isn't even playable there!
But sure, Sony lives in a bubble or something.

So Sony should spend money promoting the game that sold 12M and not the game that seems like it's about to flop?

Thank god GAF isn't in charge of marketing cause jesus.

You do know most of Concord marketing is yet to happen right? You'll see a lot more about it until release now. Controller is a small part of it.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Nope. PS really needs a new battery n all their controllers. I bought my elite series 2 and it lasts forever.

 

[Nonehxc]

WTF...

They made the best DualSense design for this POS game...yet they still refuse to rake in cash by selling nicely designed or custom faceplates?

Sony, stahp. You're retarding, go home.

 

[Rudius]

It's not gay enough. By gay I mean happy.

 

[GymWolf]

It kinda looks like the starfield controller.

 

[mckmas8808]

With how quickly this game will come and go, I wonder if this will be a bit of a collector's item someday.

It's actually a cool looking controller, but so sad it's connected to "THAT" game. Cover up Concord on the back and BAM it's a great controller, day one.

 

[Spukc]

Should be smeared in shit like a plug at a swingers club

 

[amigastar]

It reminds me a little bit of 2001 A Space Odyssey by stanley kubrick, i like it.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Could be named also "STARFIELD" controller and I would believe it.

 

[nial]

I don't hate it because graphic design is this game's only saving grace. I would buy it at a lower price, even if I'm not getting Concord, lol.

 

[mckmas8808]

The controller is pretty good. So this will be counted as "game sales", too.

The sad thing about this is how fucking deaftone Sony is. Not an Astrobot controller but a Concord one. Jesus fucking christ.

100% right! I was hoping the new regime would understand Playstation more. Maybe this was in the plans from the Jim Ryan days, so they have to go with it. Buy why not an Astrobot controller? It's the game that uses the controller the best out of any game in the world for goodness sakes!!!

 

[reinking]

I think I might like it better if the base color was white instead of black.

 

[Audiophile]

I wonder what its pronouns are.

 

[BennyBlanco]

They really thought this was gonna be the start of a huge franchise. It’s almost sad. I wonder what the vibes are like at Firewalk and for the matter the Jade Raymond studio making the next big GaaS flop.

Although to be fair I kinda like the controller itself.

 

[plip.plop]

I've never noticed that the "N" in the logo looks similar to the Konami logo.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Sony will eventually release a really good shooter and its not because of concord.

 

[Saber]

Doesn't look bad honestly. I would remove that name from the back though.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Bad art style and overpriced.

Checks out.

 

[Neofire]

​

Game is trash but that controller isn't bad looking

 

[diffusionx]

Front looks nice. Better than the Starfield controller. Sony really stepped up their controller art game this gen, on PS4 they were horrible.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Starfield Edition

 

[SSfox]

I still can't believe Sony bought this studio

 

[DonF]

I like the front, I dont like the tramp stamp.

I cant believe that sony feels this game needs or even deserves a controller.

 

[diffusionx]

Sony has spent a long time and a lot of money working on this game. They bought the studio. They clearly have (or had) very high hopes for it being a premium title.

yeah I know but...sunken cost fallacy....thay had to realize before hand....they were certain the game was going to be big.

 

[StereoVsn]

Controller looks more high effort than the game itself. Wish it was sold here in Europe cuz I dig the lo-fi wipeout vibes it gives.

Yeah, I actually like the controller design minus the “Concord” name on the back.

 

[MiguelItUp]

It's wild seeing how confident they were/are about Concord. Oof.

 

[phant0m]

Bought. Needed a new DualSense anyway, and the rest of their colorways are kinda boring.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I suspect Sony wanted a hype build up starting with the reveal trailer. Similar to how Overwatch was marketed leading to that release.
Then Concord fell on its face at the start.
Controller is the best designed aspect to come out of concord.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

I think putting the name of the game on there spoils it (I think this with pretty much everything though - understated is better, IMO), the actual design is quite nice.

 

[havoc00]

We are so fucking BACK, Concord bros.

 

[Doomtrain]

Echoing that I love the design, aside from the Concord logo on the back. Since the logo is there, I don't think I'm ironic enough to buy this, though.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Why only U.S

 

[begotten]

Some real Xbox energy there.

The controller is going to sell more than the game

 

[Kerotan]

With how quickly this game will come and go, I wonder if this will be a bit of a collector's item someday.

It will. Within a year CEX will be offering a pretty penny for this.

 

[Physiognomonics]

The controller is pretty good. So this will be counted as "game sales", too.

The sad thing about this is how fucking deaftone Sony is. Not an Astrobot controller but a Concord one. Jesus fucking christ.

Shit I'd buy that just for my collection and would never open it.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Come on Sony, make it happen

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[TransTrender]

I don't think it looks that bad....

I've never noticed that the "N" in the logo looks similar to the Konami logo.

Was also going to post this.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

You can tell Hermen and his soy gang legitimately thought this was going to be the next COD or some shit. Truly hilarious.
