PlayStation‘s trailers for Astro Bot and Concord have received vastly different reactions from viewers.

Both games were shown during Sony‘s State of Play presentation on Thursday, with Concord opening the show and Astro Bot closing it, but the response to each has differed greatly.

The Astro Bot trailer has been almost universally praised, receiving 99% likes on YouTube at the time of writing (23,405 likes versus just 245 dislikes).

However, the Concord gameplay trailer has received an overwhelmingly negative response, with only 18% likes on YouTube at the time of writing (2,735 likes versus 12,070 dislikes).

Concord’s cinematic trailer fared slightly better, but is still currently very much negative with 23% likes.

[THE DUCK]

Well this makes sense since one looks great and the other looks like a clone of 10 other multiplayer games.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Get fucked

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I don't get what makes a hero shooter good to those people.
Looked fine to me, but I couldn't care less about hero shooters.

 

[KyoZz]

As it should.

[The Cockatrice]

Yo guys I have an amazing game idea!
Lets hear it!
Overwatch!
Uhm ok? We already have Overw..
But with Robots that have pronouns!
NICE! MAKE IT BOS!

 

[Denton]

During the CGI trailer I was like "hey it is a rip-off of Guardians of Galaxy, but these characters could have potential, I might wanna play this" and then it switched to some multiplayer bullshit and I dozed off

 

[U n i o n 0015]

Three images that show why Concord is doomed to fail.

Chasing trends...derivative garbage.

human race redeemed.

 

[Luipadre]

Lmao i hate to use this word but its so fucking generic

 

[nial]

Pretty much...

 

[Sleepwalker]

Concord looked alright for a minute there before it was revealed to be a hero shooter

 

[SJRB]

Take your hero shooter and

 

[Spukc]

Get fucked

[Draugoth]

The signs were always there

[James Sawyer Ford]

Now post the same thing with Fortnite, Overwatch, and Apex legends.

But does the target audience of Concord still use Youtube or are they all on TikTok now?

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

Could not believe how long they showed that trailer.

Remember when Hermen Hulst pushed for the closure of Team Asobi?

Drama - Rumor - David Jaffe: Herman Hulst pushed for playstation's Japan Studios closure.

David Jaffe (ex God of War creator) says Herman Hulst pushed for Japan Studio closure (rip Bloodborne) According to @davidscottjaffe Multiple 'sources' have confirmed that Connie Booth was fired from Playstation "Many of the Playstation devs are pissed about the pivot to G.A.A.S." As per...

[Flabagast]

Nailed it

 

[Sleepwalker]

Now post the same thing with Fortnite, Overwatch, and Apex legends.

Let's be real there is a higher chance of this game ending up like the above than the 3 you mentioned. (And overwatch is in shambles)

This was never anything more than bullshit

 

[Thief1987]

In some parallel universe sony will make the right conclusion from this. Not in ours though

Probably, unlike those two games this one will probably have good gameplay though

 

[lh032]

concord need a miracle to pull through.

Firewalk in the danger zone now.
Game will make or break depends on PC gamers acceptance

 

[Solidus_T]

Astrobot looks like a great game, where Concord looks like an attempt to get people hooked on a GaaS.

Sony will leave Astrobot behind after it becomes a beloved, major hit just as they have with Bloodborne.

 

[diffusionx]

I don't doubt that people didn't like the trailer but those numbers are fake, right? Google doesn't release dislikes anymore and it's just an estimate.

This was never anything more than bullshit

I'm glad people are starting to see this guy as a villain and Sony destroyer. I had him pegged years ago.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

This game is Doa

The difference is Concord looks polished AF. Concord can be "woke" as all hell, but if the gameplay loop is amazing, it will do well as a gaas. Playstation seems confident in it. Reportedly there will be previews after SGF, which is another good sign

 

[LavitzSlambert]

If you told me these were the same game, and removed the Redfall logo, I would have believed you.

 

[adamsapple]

I don't doubt that people didn't like the trailer but those numbers are fake, right? Google doesn't release dislikes anymore and it's just an estimate.

There's browser plugins to reveal those.

He’s not and the report is bullshit

 

[LordCBH]

Astro Bot looks so sick. Concord looks like a shit Overwatch clone. If it came out in 2016 I think people would have been excited.

 

[diffusionx]

There's browser plugins to reveal those.

Yea but the browser plugins don't hack into the Google server. They just track what the people with the plugin do and extrapolate.

He’s not and the report is bullshit

He is, and they hated Jaffe because he told the truth.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I think Concord will surprise a lot of people, just like Hell Drivers 2 did this year. Even though I have zero interest in the game.

 

[nial]

Astro Bot announcement getting pinned on their Twitter page is a good sign.

 

[Xtib81]

Both look bad. Astro looks like an okay free game, just like the first one, Concord looks like overwatch.

 

[Topher]

I added another game to the post just for you.

I'm just messing with you man

 

[Sleepwalker]

Jaffe definitely has an axe to grind with Sony, I doubt he even has any major contacts within anymore, its not remotely the same company.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Concord looked terrible but so did AstroBot. Gimmick platformer that looks exactly like Rescue Mission and Playroom. Let's not pretend like both studios aren't husks right now.

Would be funny if Concord launched close to that Valve hero shooter thus being instantly DOA on PC

 

[adamsapple]

The dislike button is still there on youtube, just the count is hidden from the viewers, there's plugins that let you see the counts again.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

To be fair, no one was interested in Helldivers 2 until people actually played it, so there’s still a chance this might happen.

 

[Games of Today]

God it's all such garbage. Why does every game have to have these horrid color palates too. Just bring back the good old brown and grey colors from PS3. Those were SO much more tolerable than this shit.

 

[Dick Jones]

245 dislikes for Astro?
245 people need to get in the fucking garbage along with your taste.

 

[Krathoon]

What is great about AstroBot is that it uses all of the controller features. It shows what can be done with the controller.

Huh? Team Asobi was established under Hermen's tenure.
