“people dont want that shit anymore.”
Couldn’t be more wrong with that statement imo.
The current top 10 games on Steam as I’m typing is: Counter-Strike 2, DOTA2, PUBG, Apex Legends, Naraka Bladepoint, GTA V, Wallpaper Engine, Rust, Team Fortress 2 and CoD.
There’s a huge demand for this type of game and that’s why Sony is chasing it. But to compete with the best, Sony will need to make Concord F2P otherwise it’s dead within 12 months.
I think the reason for the dislikes is more down to the lack of comms from PlayStation around those single player projects. If Concord was in addition to those experiences, people would probably be fine with it.
I also think the way it was announced was a bit strange. The main demographic of people watching those State of Plays aren’t looking for this type of experience so when the guy smugly comes on announcing Concord as top billing as if it’s a ND game and then they do a graphics bait and switch from cinematic trailer to goofy team fortress clone, it did feel a bit tone deaf.
