I had never heard of this game before and thought it was some awesome story-based game because of that cinematic trailer. Imagine my disappointment to find out it’s just another pvp squad shooter. Oh well.

Its always the class based shit too. Dont we have enough overwatch/seige clones?

Just give us a new killzone, with halo stumbling with each recent release you’d think sony would capitalize on that gap

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

It’s all going to come down to balance. Which I’m thinking they should be able to nail.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Actually looks decent

 

[gothmog]

Looks interesting, but I need to see more.

 

[Fabieter]

Not f2p kills the game for me already.

 

[STARSBarry]

so its a shit overwatch knockoff

did you notice that all the males are aliens and all the women are ethnic minority humans? guess I wont be able to feel "represented" in this "diverse" cast of characters. But joking aside another fucking hero shooter, how many years late are they to this? there releasing in time to go head to head with marvels attempt to oversaturate the market even more, how exciting, I hope they both flop and studios stop fucking chasing this dead trend.

 

[simpatico]

This is the game all the Sony guys on Twitter have been looking to to save the gen? Megaton of the summer.

 

[Complistic]

Looks awful.

 

[Barakov]

It's got personality I'll give it that. Can't really say much about it until I see gameplay.

 

[clarky]

Somebody check on Men_in_Boxes please.

 

[Zarak]

This looked so derivative and lame. It could easily pass as a Guardians of the Galaxy DLC for Overwatch.

 

[Doom85]

Looks decent, the big robot guy looks particularly fun just due to it being neat to see your allies/enemies smaller in comparison, but I doubt I’ll give it time since between the two Marvel Rivals looks more compelling.

 

[Pejo]

Reminds me of Overwatch 1 story trailer. The game itsefl sounds like Overwatch 2.

I'm whelmed.

 

[bender]

Somebody check on Men_in_Boxes please.

He's busy trying to convert his V-Bucks into Concord-Bucks.

 

[LazyParrot]

This game looks like they consulted ChatGPT on every single design decision. It's hard to believe that any human being could come up with something this uninspired.

 

[Spyxos]

Even Marvel Rivals looks better than that.

 

[dorkimoe]

Looks good to me

 

[Nydius]

Echoing what I said in the SoP thread: It looks like an Overwatch clone with Guardians of the Galaxy humor as a crutch. That might have been great if it launched in 2020 or even 2021. But now? Feels like it’s several years behind and just chasing trends that used to be popular.

Unless it does something absolutely crazy amazing, I can’t see many people flocking to it over the existing GaaS games they’re already financially and emotionally connected to.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Even Marvel Rivals looks better than that.

This looked like bootleg Guardians of the Galaxy as an Overwatch knockoff, and was almost immediately followed by an officially licensed Marvel Overwatch knockoff. What are we even doing?

I missed the State of Play, so catching up now on all the threads. The first video I saw was the CGI trailer and first thing I thought was GotG cast where the green guy is like a hipster version of Shrek.

The the gameplay video was Overwatch/Paladins kind of game.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Hugare]

Sony bought Bungie for $3B so they could have their own Overwatch clone

Seriously. What a waste.

Imagine spending many years of your life making a game that everyone knows that is just being made to chase some (now old) trend

EDIT: Oof, Bungie's game is Marathon, not Concord. My mistake.

 

[The_hunter]

I want to play an arena shooter.

 

[Punished Miku]

I was trying to be optimistic about this all year but it was peak Marvel dialogue trash. I was extremely let down.

 

[onQ123]

I never thought I would say something like this but the Animation is too fluid that's kinda weird.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Somebody check on Men_in_Boxes please.

I appreciate the well wishes. I'm currently in an ambulance going to the hospital. I'm going to fight though, I promise you I'm going to fight.

who greenlit this overwatch wannabe trash? Explain yourselves Men_in_Boxes .

I can not. It takes a big man to admit when he was wrong. I whiffed here.

 

[analog_future]

Not understanding what separates this from the other endless pile of gaas games

 

[hinch7]

"Star lord and the gang from Temu" Top commenter gets it

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Not understanding what separates this from the other endless pile of gaas games

The ONLY thing that stood out to me in that trailer was pace of play. That is, by far, the slowest moving team based shooter in existence. Everything else looks like standard fair.

 

[Thief1987]

Sony bought Bungie for $3B so they could have their own Overwatch clone

What is the connection between this game and bungie?

 

[Investor9872]

I love fps, and am having tons of fun with XDefiant. But this one doesn't look my my cup of tea!

 

[realcool]

I'd rather watch it as a show than play it as a game.

 

[Danjin44]

This Marvel like humour is cringy as fuck.

 

[Kilau]

What is the connection between this game and bungie?

I was wondering also.

There’s former Bungie folks at Firewalk? Bungie has been over seeing the Sony gaas push?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

The studio director is ex-Bungie

 

[Kilau]

The studio director is ex-Bungie

I know but what that has to do with the purchase of Bungie? This game has been in development since before Sony bought either of them.

 

[Frwrd]

 

[ResilientBanana]

Now post the gameplay trailer.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Any shooter is welcomed at this point for Sony, other generation PlayStation had shooters now today people are satisfied with open world games only and Sony put their foot on shooters necks.

 

[DannyDanger]

I'll never understand Hero Shooters.
Seeing 3 different same characters running around in a shooter takes me out of it instantly. But I guess it's not meant to be immersive

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

In Chess, there are 4 rooks, 4 knights, 4 bishops etc...

It's about immersing yourself in the challenge.

 

[DannyDanger]

I mean you're not directly controlling one rook while other rooks run around killing pawns, so idk if that's a good comparison.

But yea the challenge can be immersive, I get that.

 

[Audiophile]

I appreciate the well wishes. I'm currently in an ambulance going to the hospital. I'm going to fight though, I promise you I'm going to fight.

I can not. It takes a big man to admit when he was wrong. I whiffed here.

OMG, your new avatar..

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

OMG, your new avatar..

i need help. i cant crop it

[Gambit2483]

I don't understand why they led with a CG story trailer....I get that they want to show there's lore and depth to the characters but it's like, "hey check out this cool squad that goes on raids and dangerous missions together! Now go shoot up 5 other dudes in an Arena!".

It's like they're marketing a single player or narrative game but actually just selling another Team based arena shooter...I just don't see how that sells this kind of game but maybe I'm just not the target audience
