Uh that is brutal. Not even a thousand players.
Went down quicker than the Paris Concord. It's incredibly ironic using a name that's tied to disaster and then trying to one-up it's disastrousness.
Such a comprehensive example of poor decision making at so many levels. From the decision to charge for a PvP hero shooter in a saturated market of free PvP hero shooters, to spending what appeared to be tens of millions on marketing, PR, and CGI cut scenes, to the worst character designs in living memory. It’s clear they did zero focus group testing on those characters, or if they did, they ignored all feedback. As is so common now, everyone involved in the fiasco is going to be integrated into future projects and destroy them too. They’ll learn nothing and keep doing it.

Where has the marketing budget gone into? Because I literally never heard of this game until a Penguinz0 on Youtube made a video about it
That's me too - never heard about it until I started seeing news about how it failed
Where had the marketing budget gone, the game was shut down like a week after launch
There was a big run-up in the prior months
There's a pretty long video about why this sort of thing happens. Basically this sort of game is relatively cheap to make and investors think they have a chance of recreating the success of Overwatch or Fortnite or smth
The character design was derivative but they weren't awful, come on now. Absolutely true about the rest

One of the games ever made.
Gonna post again in a week "today concord was cancelled"? Lol
See you in a few days for the anniversary of its shutdown
Never forget.
Cuz that shit was funny AF.
I watched the Secret Level ep on that the other day. Me and my buddies were like, "Wow what a cool universe we should play that game!"

Yeah if that scene represented the game it would have been a cool game
They should've just made that into a movie, id watch a fun sci-fi heist film
That may have been the best episode of the series, the disappointment on finding out it was concord was immense.
Me and the boys were absolutely about the warhammer one and I'm pretty sure once it gets on a good sale we're co-oping the recent one.
Warhammer games tend to be pretty solid, I've enjoyed every one I've bought so far. If anything that episode undersold the power of space marines.
That is why we shouldn't trust marketing.
Who ?
I am pretty sure this is fake news. There never was such a thing.
Exactly
Concord Pickering!
There's probably an angle where that pose looks dynamic.
It's not this one.
I really love goofy and weird characters. I have no idea how they managed to look everyone off
Right? Overwatch has the fat dwarf engineer, the chubby ice girl, the scrungly paraplegic pyromaniac, six distinct lesbians, and a gorilla. Wild variety of costume design and body type. It is almost impressive how every single character in Concord is... askew. They look like cheap cosplays of themselves.
Y tho?
Just in time for Sony to release another Overwatch-like destined for the scrap heap
And people still buy it from auctions
People buy McDonald's menus for pokemon cards and throw the food away.
People also buy Pokémon cards.
