There are hundreds of other games that are free, doesn't mean I'm going to download them. And I'm more interested in Marvel Rivals.

- Gameplay is everything
- Fast matchmaking is everything.
- And most importantly: how much fun the gameplay loop will be to spread across social media (X, YT, TIKTOK) and create a community.

It will have a big launch and then die down like most of these games. Nothing from the gameplay reveal suggests it’ll have staying power.

It will go F2p in less than a year and then shut down soon after.

Not entirely sure. But something very, very small.
Maybe paragon is a closer comparison.

Fortnite worked because the market wasnt oversaturated with BR titles, it took what made pubg (the only big br at the time) addictive and added a hint of building ala the original survival mode campaign. It was stupidly fun, like gears of war meets halo and minecraft
This game looks like an uninspired overwatch clone in a time where we already have many overwatch (and tf2) clones like valorant, apex legends seige and paladin

Going with >50K.
I think Sony has a good eye for talent, and wouldn't have purchased the studio if they felt the game was going to be a huge failure. Bungie also must have provided positive feedback to endorse the game and acquisition.
They were able to nurture HD2 into a massive success, and I am hoping that is a glimpse of things to come with Concord as well and it's not just some random fluke.
The gameplay looks tight and fluid. They've got a good team of veterans in this space, and they've been cooking for like 5-6 years. I can't imagine the game will be something extremely basic. There's going to be meaty stuff to all that's on offer here. I think the beta will be a smash hit and people will be excited to grab the full release.
But of course I could be wrong, and will be disappointed if so.

I am conflicted whether it is abnormal or normal to be attracted to cartoon characters. I have never understood it

I regret to say that I believe the vibe will be overlooked, the gameplay will deliver - and it's going to be a smash hit.

Nobody plays games for digital tits.
If this game plays anything like Apex or Seige, it’s an automatic success.
don’t try to. some don’t have girlfriends.

This I can see.
There's a lot of potential players on Playstation though, as there barely are hero shooters there.
People seem to forget that Sony's main focus is Playstation, PC just tags along.
But like
James Sawyer Ford
already said, it highly depends on the beta.

Let’s see how the beta goes. When People can actually get those characters on their screen and zoom right in nice and close. Ya know, get a real good look at all their oooozing charisma. Who knows what miracles may happen if the gameplay is fun and entertaining. I’ll hold my prediction until hands on.

This is my guess. Could be totally wrong.
I think it will start at around 50k across playstation and pc and then nose dive to the first option within 4 months.
Happy to be proven wrong by the youngsters.

Best case it will be like Avengers, but I rather expect a DOA game like Anthem.
Another online only hero shooter? Surely the desire for such games in the market has very clearly bombed the last size months to a year. It's puzzling why any company would attempt to enter the market now. Especially if it's not F2P, it'll be "Firestorm" all over again (or worse, since Firestorm was *actually* an interesting take on the genre it was arriving late to and was attached to a larger game people wanted).

Target market : people who want to pay again for overwatch 1 despite overwatch being free now

The industry is fucked if this game is considered mediocre or just terrible for some. It might not do well in the jungle of gaas shooters, no idea about any numbers, so won't bet on anything, but it does not look bad, not at all, even if it is probably woke. The Marvel success until Endgame and the current everything must be free, and great, MP landscape made some people really bitter.

I've never played a hero shooter, but I'm already tired of them.
To me the choice of a 'hero' just means a pre-set, so no customization possible. And when the game adds more and more heroes in time you have to end up learning 100's of abilities to know how to properly play and what counters what, etc. So at some point they completely wall-off the game from new players, since it is impossible to get in to it. (try getting into Dota or LoL now for instance...).
In other words: I don't get the appeal.

Team Fortress 2: 130k
Overwatch 2: 20k
Jesus, is this just Steam figures? That's insane.

Not sure if Paragon is a good example. Almost no promotion and got canned during open beta since most of the team got put on Fortnite BR and the accountant didn't think it made enough during a beta..
Then again, maybe in a way it is.

This has a similar negative hype pattern. Very few have anything good to say about that reveal.

There was no negative hype surrounding Paragon though, especially not when it was released.

Much like overwatch, this game feels like it was originally meant to be something else, maybe something similar to a destiny but landed on a PvP hero shooter because that was the element that they could get working.
as far as appeal goes we'll see, I don't see why yet, it looks largely unremarkable or new, but a playtest or beta could change that opinion.

Actual number too close to call, I just picked the one that said "bomb" on it.
They spent too much time trying to make dollar store Guardians of the Galaxy for the trailer and not enough time making a game that has anything remotely interesting to offer.
