Concord makes Suicide Squad look like Fornite.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the clown show has been put on hiatus for retooling.”
Wow, this has to be a record.

Good.
A sad day for fans of ugly character designs. I pour one out for oversized trash can on legs.
Already?
Given the insane budget, it’s one of the biggest flops in the entertainment media ever. A 40 bucks freak show with no target audience.
F2P relaunch incoming
I wonder how that dev who called people that criticized this game “talentless freaks” is feeling right now
Wow this is pretty unprecedented for a AAA game from a big Publisher. Even Cyberpunk and No Man’s sky with the technical issues had refund policies changed, but never fully removed or anything. Even Multiversus a game that did this, at least took the world by storm for a month back in the summer of 2022.
Really don’t know why Playstation just didn’t delay the game to try and implement FTP monetization beforehand, instead of just sending this out here. It already is a laughing stock meme because of the poor engagement numbers, and now this will add onto it.
I can see more people at least trying the game if it’s ftp, but I don’t see them sticking with it long term. The gameplay isn’t terrible, but it’s not revolutionary either, it’s just Destiny pvp with a splash of OW. Can’t see them doing a Sonic redesign either with how much was already invested into the game monetarily already.
We did it Reddit…?
Who are the talentless freaks now?
You know what is sad? That developers who did actual work on this will be punished, except for useless executives and managers that cannot come up with something fresh or new if their life depends on it.
And of course six months from now, devs will get laid off while executive get record bonuses for some reason.
Sony, it’s not hard.
1. Stop chasing the live service gravy train
2. Give us Bloodborne PC
3. Profit
Calling it right now, they’re going to retool it into a coop PVE game and do what Overwatch didn’t.
I really wonder what the focus testing was like for this game. Did they just ignore all the criticism???
Sony looked at this and bought the studio. Jim Ryan really was something else.
I wonder how many comments we’ll get about how this is all the fault of the execs, and not the devs
Anyone wanna give me a TLDR on this game? Totally ignored it I just hear a bunch of distaste for it. And now it’s cancelled and everyone gets a refund? What’d they screw up that bad it died already?
yeah there’s probably no coming back from that
Speedrun World Record in biggest failure with a huge budget
i dont think ive ever seen a game flop this hard in my entire 27 years of living. i feel like i just found out about it last month and its already being lowered into the grave.
They’ve basically got two options:
They are either going to pull the game, do some more development to address feedback, and re-release it as a free to play game.
*or*
They are going to take its assets and retool the game into a new game. Its either got to be something similar to Helldivers where its your squad vs PVE , or its got to be something like single-player
with cooperative MP Action RPG of something.
I don’t think “competitive hero shooters” are viable in any configuration in 2024 and really think the first choice is a complete mistake. There’s too much established competition, and these games live and die by their playerbases, you need at least 2-5k players on every single day to have an even remotely healthy player base to generate revenue and I don’t think they can get that because the game lacks broad appeal.

They should bury this trash in the desert next to the E.T game
The concord was the fastest plane.
Concord was the fastest cancelled video game.
I’m sure all 60 people will be happy about the refund
That was a strange game. They put all the effort to tell a story for the characters in videos and other promotional stuff, but all these stories did not matter at all in the game itself. What the hell?
They even did not made a single player mode like Unreal Tournament had or Overwatch 2 had at least planned, where you only had bot matches on the multiplayer maps, that were simple connected with a story and some cutscenes.
It could be so easy…
Damn that’s pretty sad for the people who spent years working on this. I don’t feel bad for the executives who thought this was a good idea though.
I wonder how these studios determine expected interest in a game they’re developing. There seem to be a bunch of games and even some movies lately where the sales are so astronomically low it’s almost as if the only people who consumed the product were those who developed it.
Concord really looked at Suicide Squad and said ‘Hold my beer’.
It’s crazy how someone makes a product this terrible. It’s crazy to me
**BURN IT TO THE GROUND**
Anyone know how Amazon’s return policy works? I want to keep the disc, but $40 for a dead game is too much for me…
Capitalism in action! Let’s celebrate!
I remember when the trailer dropped. Looked like Guardians of the Galaxy ripoff, had the wisecracking etc.
Then it revealed that it was pvp shooter, completely tonally different to what had just been shown. Like what was the audience for this game?
Watch them blame the gaming community instead of taking responsibility for the abysmal game they decided to make and release
Dang.
Masterclass on how to take a game offline, though. If the players don’t keep the game, the company doesn’t keep the money.
Redfall was better and had more players.
These are the worst character designs I’ve ever seen in a game, ever. Horrendously bad, there’s not a single one I’ve seen that makes me think, “I wanna play as that character, they look so cool”
Wow, it’s hard to believe a game with such stand out characters such as green guy in an oversized life jacket didn’t take off.
