Concord’s developer Firewalk Studios says the game’s monetisation will exclusively focues on cosmetic items.


Those who pre-ordered will also receive 4 additional codes for the Beta Early Access to share with friends.

“We’re going to launch with our 16 characters, 12 maps, and 6 modes,” Concord’s director of IP Kim Kreines told VGC.

“That’s all included when you buy the game, and seasonally we’re providing new maps, new modes, and new characters, alongside their unfolding story.”

Built by Destiny and Call of Duty veterans, Concord is much more than its quippy trailer would have you believe…

The UI looks terrible. The color palette is ugly.

We can be hero's just for one day. I think that was the song playing during the trailer.

Really curious to see how this pans out, so much of it just looks so.... uninspired to me. It's like all of the character concepts could've originally been AI generated. Maybe the wild color palettes don't really help that feeling.

Sweet, baby.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Not the most enticing format for me, but I’ll give it a few hours.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

wasn't that the episode she was taking Adderall or something.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Nice end to the video clip.

It's a closeup of Hipster Shrek's acne cheek.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Ill give it a try before criticizing.

 

[Luipadre]

That UI... Watched 1 min, closed it off. Incredibly generic (i hate to use this word) and boring

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Ill give it a try before criticizing.

How dare you!

 

[TropicanaTwista]

Was there always suppose to be an open beta for this? I remember when announced there was gonna be a closed beta + 5 codes if you preordered which still looks like is happening, but don't recall an open beta.

Anyway, if I'm not doing much that weekend, I might try it out. It's basically a win win for me. If the game is truly as bad as I think, I probably just laugh as I play it wondering how it got green lit. Or maybe it's actually a solid experience, who the hell knows.

Nice I want to try this out. I deleted OW removing that 1 extra tank killed the game for me. Been playing OW since shortly after release didn't realize that one change would make such a difference.

This actually sounds pretty good.

Destiny meets COD, is basically what it sounds like.
If they nail that, I think people might be able to look past the Wokeness.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

next month is Zzz and The first descendant right?..... I will be surprise if Concord breaks into the conversation.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

game is wack but i do like the music, truth be told

I have it checked on my calendar to not give a shit.

It was the moment she found out she got the role in Showgirls

I think they were caffeine pills.

That's easy to answer.

Look at how popular Overwatch 2, CSGO2, RS:Siege, Valorant and TF2 have been over the last 5 years. (Very popular)

Compare that list with the failed team based Hero Shooters released over the last 5 years. (Not many)

It's very logical why this was greenlit.

The joke is you have just named two things it reminds you of, in an article announcing it as a brand new groundbreaking never before done thing.

Did you read the article?

They literally described it as Destiny meets COD.

Edit:

Maybe I misread your post.
The storytelling/lore is supposedly the groundbreaking thing within hero shooters, not the gameplay.

You can't be serious.

The hivemind that gave Valorant an 80 at release gave Knockout City an 80 at release.

They are completely blind to multiplayer. This can't be shouted loudly enough.

 

[midnightAI]

Very Destiny like, looks ok actually

 

[Spukc]

Best part is that i bought a ps5 with money i worked for

So lazy devs can put out this sheit

 

[Mr Moose]

Thanks, I'll remember to not download it.

 

[Wooxsvan]

 

[StueyDuck]

Thanks, I'll remember to not download it.

It's a free beta.

Like I think the game looks average too but I'll still try it.

What do you have to lose for playing a free beta, even if it's just a couple of matches

I will pray this bombs harder than Suicide Squad and the Finals just for you inshallah

Time I could be doing something else, like reading GAF.

I don't think being free has anything to do with it. Suicide Squad for instance could be free and I still wouldn't download that piece of junk.
I guess for people who don't care about anything at all must be fine. But its not because something is free people will suddenly low their standart and accept garbage.

Then your giving more developers increased incentive to continue to make mediocre GaaS games focused around DEI. If we want shit like this to stop, then we shouldn't even install it imo.

 

[havoc00]

Looks like shit but ill give it a shot, maybe the gunplay is superfun

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Ill give it a try before criticizing.

There is no place for that here.

 

[TrippleA345]

They gona cancel early access beta, cause nobody is preordering

Yup, its worth a go, its free so nothing to lose (and people are playing and enjoying it, who am I to say 'no you aren't)

 

[iHaunter]

All y'all talking smack, but I know you Neogaf. All of you are going to download it and play it.

 

[Vasili2K38]

Meh I'll try it, but my expectations are extremely low, so..

I mean I'm not gonna force anyone to play it. Just seems weird to not give it a go because of trailers.

If you are ignoring it for reasons like the pronouns and stuff I totally get it.

But if it's purely cause it's gaas, personally I'd rather try it, know it's shit and at least have a horse in the race when it comes to the inevitable discussions around release.

It's like 20minutes out my day at most, I mean I tried that weird champions battlefield game beta recently on steam, I didn't think it looked good but was still worth trying, and hey, I was right, it wasn't good.

So now when idiot friends fall for marketing and all want to buy it I can safely say, nah dudes it jut.

Pretty much what I did after the anthem alpha test. I still remember everyone getting so pissed at me for saying it was shit . Then lo and behold it was and every dropped full dollas on it like fools

 

[Mossybrew]

I'll probably download it if I remember, if nothing else so I can play a few rounds then post my dumbass opinion on GAF.

 

[Sleepwalker]

 

[Hestar69]

I prolly will download to try and see how bad it is. I have very low expectations.
