They couldn't even pay me to play Concord.
I hope this is like Morbius, and comes back only to another monumental flop. This game is already so far in the hole at $400 million I dont see how them spending more money on it to develop it more will ever make a profit. They would have to put the most egregious loot box gacha monetization ever known to man to even try, there is no chance it ever makes money.
The $400 million line shows how far some random guy's unverified opinion can go.
It absolutely didn't cost more than GTA 5.
$400M has been refuted by several sources at this point, but there are lots of ways to have spent more than GTA V given that it was developed in a very different era than Concord was. The first handful of Halo games, including those on 360, were some of the biggest games of their day, and they'd all be considered quite cheap by today's standards.
$400M, $200M, whatever. Sony lost a crap ton of money. They had to pay staff for a game that was in development for 8 years and they had close to 1000 people on payroll for it at one point.
It definitely cost more than GTA V. I mean, Genshin Impact has a dev cost of over ~$700M and that game was in development for only 3 years, and has been actively developed after release for 4 years. Thats ~$100M per year. Cyberpunk 2077 began development in 2013 and when it released 7 years later in 2020 had a development cost of ~$350M. Concord being in development for 8 years and costing less than $400M would almost be absurd.
Another falsehood being repeated is that it was in development for 8 years. It wasn't. 8 years ago it was an idea.
The actual development is around 4 years.
If Concord’s launch was a rocket, it would have bored a hole into the launch pad because the thrusters were backward, and I don’t think anyone would have called it a “launch” in any conventional sense.
So how can it be a comeback if it never even came?
I hope so. I'm one of the few who enjoyed it.
Given that sales were only 25,000, statistically it's probably none of them.
I like how I got three downvotes just for saying I liked a game. 😂
I take down votes like a small win. Most people are going to down vote if you are rocking their boat by shattering their little illusory world.
They gotta stop trying and just let it die already. No need in trying to salvage anything out of it.
Like the article states it already failed to garner a reasonable crowd in the beta, and even less as a paid game.
It was just a bad game, plagued by terrible development. It has cost enough already, why would they even bother investing anything more in it, take the loss and just move on and make something actually fun and creative.
I don't think the Devs can let go. That's probably why it took 8 years.
I hope it's the management and not the devs, that would be extra sad
New rumor? You mean rumors as soon as it was unlaunched. Nothing new about this.
buy this mysterious thing I have wrapped in some comic book pages
wtf it's shit, refund me
take for free this mysterious thing I have wrapped in some comic book pages. No one knows what it could be, but you can pay to make it stink less
As far as I heard the game was decent. Who knows, if they have a studio that is willing to take feedback and balance / update the game it could easily take a lot of overwatch.
It has a long way to go on reputation though
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
It's weird for a supersonic airplane to come back as a free-to-play game but ok
