Fairgames (now withput the dollar sign) is not doing well in limited PSN test, feels like a "super clunky" mix between Fortnite and Division as an extraction shooter.
[Sad News] Fairgames is not good
Surprising exactly nobody.
Uh oh it happened again
How could this happen, Bungie's GAAS expertise Sony paid $3.6 billion for said this was one of the good and promising live servoce games!
Waiting for trannies to justify how this is a good thing actually.
Why are they working on Concord 3? Concord 2 isn't even out yet
Does it matter? No one was going to play it anyway.
Sony has taken nothing but Ls this generation
Thy did? Well, that explains a lot about marathon.
Oh no negro
This could've easily been a proper payday 2 successor after the failure of payday 3. A futuristic heist game with complex facilities to break into judging by the trailer. But it's some PvPvE shit.
good
fuck sony lol
hired a microsoft plant for 3.6 billion
kek
But it made such a good first impression! Why else would Sony not drop it like how Sega dropped Hyenas? :^)
Reminder Sony would still rather pour billions of dollars into these Live Service flops than ever fund sequels to their beloved IPs still stuck in limbo on the PS2. I genuinely do not understand how this company has fans anymore.
Don't worry, I'm sure Marathon will be better!
What if we cross fortnite with BLM?
Bravo Sony
It's not like anyone really wants Bloodborne 2
They will just pretend it's actually a massive success for as long as possible and then shut up about it like it never existed.
Helldivers
which they did everything they could to ruin between the PSN shit and not putting their foot down on the devs to fix their balancing
Reminder that Sony cancelled half of the live service they had in development at the time and they considered fairgames one of the "good" ones. It makes you shudder to think how fucking shit the cancelled games would have been, or maybe that's just sony further showing their complete lack of understanding the industry.
They'll pour billions on live service junk again next gen because all they need is one Fortnite. The problem is that all their western devs can do is make movie games.
The funny thing is that Snoy's customers clearly want movie games too but Snoy doesn't want to give them movie games anymore because they don't have the opportunity to make ALL the money.
This is true; they had their 'win' and then fucked it up. That tells me their live service initiative will always fail because if they ever get another success, their greed and incompetence will doom it to failure.
Aony kinda ficked itself with the ultra high production values AAA movie game push too, because that shit is only sustainable if they all sell 10+ million copies each.
*Sony kinda fucked itself
Then they make Astro Bot, and pat themselves on the back for celebrating an entire catalogue of Sony IPs which might not ever see the light of day again.
HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY HAPPEN!?
Another shitty FPS GAAS being aborted before release its always good news
I for one am very excited for the release of the final game in the Concord trilogy
Whats the second game?
Why didn't they just put Jade's face into the game instead of these abominations?
At least people wouldn't hate it from the get go
It makes you shudder to think how fucking shit the cancelled games would have been
It's Sony, the probably cancelled the best ones they had
Marathon probably.
Why indeed
They're working in Concord 4, maybe 5 too, they just haven't officially announced them yet
They only did that because Concord 's failure took them off of guard and made them cancel all the Live Service games they haven't announced yet but both Marath and Fairgames were already revealed, it was too late.
It makes you shudder to think how fucking shit the cancelled games would have been
Chances are those were the actually unique ones that didn't meet the corporate checklist requirements.
Uuuh chuds lost the fame is a massive success you incel chud chudcel
GAAS and it’s consequences have been disastrous for vidya. Compound that with the woke agenda and you get the worst era of video games in history.
Fortnite/Division extraction shooter
So PvP is decided on who can shotgun someone first, and PvE is unnecessarily tanky for how frail the enemies look?
She fucking bailed from the company a few months before the game is stillborn
I'll never get to play Jade's game... it doesn't exist...
Seeing these games fail is more entertaining than any video game, and it’s free.
No shit? What a surprise.
And now I don't even want those ps2 ips to come back anymore, they'll just make it retarded and gay because they're incapable of making good games, Fuck Sony.
How many more games will Jade kill
instead of releasing Last of Us 2 multiplayer Sony is going for a full house of failed live service games
loving every laugh
We'd like to welcome the extremely successful Jade Raymond to our new gaming franchise!
Why did they even continue the development?
Just look at this
youtube.com
They already knew the internet reaction 2 years ago. They should have stopped and cut the loses.
Even if the game was good, who even cares about extraction shooters nowadays? The fad died with helldivers.
spend $3.6 billion on bungie
greenlight 14 live service games, all but twwo get cancelled
moneyhat all the 3rd party games on your system for exclusivity
Any other company would have gone out of business a dozen times over. Imagine what they could have done with half that money and resources if it was given to their first party devs to make something interesting instead of live service slop.
multi-player spider-man actually seemed like it could have been kind of fun at least conceptually.
They keep deluding themselves that bad reception is just a hate campaign of loud minority of American straight white male chuds, and the diverse and vibrant global audience is going to love it.
I'm willing to bet that Factions and Spider-Man would have been decent or at least would have made a lot of money.
top 5 richest people on the planet
none of their surnames end with berg, mann, stein,...
Immersion ruined
concord 3.0 baybee
he thinks the richest people on the planet are publicly listed
this is one of those games that the average person can look at and know immediately that it will fail, but Sony will still put billions of dollars on it.
There's no way they believe their own propaganda.
Helldivers isn't an extraction shooter
Well the game seems to portray that list as a fact.
You need to support woke games regardless of if they're good or not or otherwise it's not a fairgame
Maybe the game needs more ugly negro trannies
How many flops will it take?
Imagine paying 3.6 billion for Bungie, for their "expertise" on live service games and this is all you have to show for it. Jesus Christ it should be illegal to burn this amount of money on slop
Can you actually play extraction shooters in PUG environment? They usually require tighter coordination to pull off.
Marathon
it wouldn't be hard to sell 10 mil copies if their games had chad male mc's, beautiful women, whites only, and no faggotry. they could easily sell that many copies, but Sony would never dream of not pushing "the message"
Sony has majority of the PS5's lifespan on live service games no one wanted or asked for and is losing Lord knows how much money because they aren't successful
until heads start rolling for poor decisions
There's no way this comes out. Sony will save themselves the embarrassment and just can it. Although it would be pretty funny to see it coming out and then getting "unlaunched" in two weeks like Concord
Crazy that Sony decided to spend hundreds of millions making this slop. Do they even have focus testers? Everyone says these companies play it safe by using focus testers or whatever, but this game seems insanely risky (it's an obvious massive flop).
Is Concord just Hyenas 2? Then Marathon is Hyenas 3, and this is Hyenas 4?
The secret level episode is dedicated to having le freedom fighter trying to take down Super Earth because they're mad they're only successful first party title this gen is liked by Chuds.
I swear Sony is ran by actual fucking retards.
They moved to California. What did you expect?
Hyenas was going to be a hit if it came out
That game was cringekino
Sony doesn't have the balls. I'm still surprised SEGA found theirs to cancel Hyenas.
If Microsoft and Nintendo didn't drop the ball so hard for "core" games, Sony would have fucking died this generation.
I-It's okay! There's plenty of time to course correct! We just need to contact the devs and tell them to completely overhaul absolutely everything to be more like whatever's trendy right now!
ANOTHER Concord
Jesus how many of these are still in the tank?
Bros, I'm tired of winning so hard by doing nothing.
Is that what playing on easy feels like?
At this rate, Sony might as well just take five-hundred million dollars down to a casino.
Hyenas is Concord 0, the prequel.
Niggers
I will not play your game
Out of all the slop I thought FairgameS might actually be a small success, but I also thought they just make a Payday like extraction shooter
Bloodborne2 is on Nintendo now bro.
It feels like back when Monster Hunter switched boats and Sony seemingly didn't care.
bros it's not funny anymore, I'm starting to feel bad for sony and their fans this is just too much...
just kidding I'm having the time of my life, I hope this gaas arc never ends
The last five years and BILLIONS of dollars were completely wasted.
Sony needs to wake up if it wants to survive without ESG money.
It's Sony, the probably cancelled the best ones they had
That's exactly what they did. Everyone who was able to play tLoU online game said it was great.
It's not Jade's game anymore
I don't care
another one
So, play the stock market? I’m sure they do
they have a captive audience of brown people and assorted third worlders who buy playstations to play sports games and gta, they'll never change course they don't need to
In all likelihood she was fired but Sony's too scared to say it.
Literally every live service game is shit. Anyone who enjoys any live service game is likely a retard.
What part don't they believe? Ask any progressive they'll tell you fairgames looks amazing.
Sony, i gave you the 10 billion you wished for, now you need to be my magical girl and do the live service game i demand from you.
And if you don't we will sue you for breaking the Shareholder primacy.
you forgot avowed and assassin's creed shadow
out of touch billionaires chasing trends still trying to become the next Fortnite
Jesus fuck this is so pathetic. Just fucking stop it with the live service shit.
They are better off just making a lot of small 50 person teams and having them all work on smaller single player games. At least half will succeed.
You can't just make a decent profit you HAVE to make the next Fortnite, it's illegal to not make the line to up.
Yes they are.
But they have to obey the wishes of the shareholders, and the shareholders want EXPLOSIVE STOCK PRICE GROWTH.
Things like actual number of sales and sustainability are not in the interest of the ones actually in power.
Concord makes stock go up.
Sony really are going to giga botch fumble their entire console generation just in time for the Switch 2 release uh? It's almost impressive how fucking suicidal modern sony is.
I think they dont really care as normies all buy their 3rd party games on snoy machines
Switch 2 should be powerful enough they will decide that's good enough for Fifa
but I guess Sony will still have GTA, that audience will demand max fidelity and rockstar doesn't want to make anything but max fidelity
Rockstar just have a beef with nintendo.
GTA V would be a lot better on the og switch than the PS360 version and sell a LOT, but they decided they don't like money that much.
How do you have a public test of a pre-alpha? Is this another situation of destroying the definition of words?
I feel like extraction shooters aren't even popular, was anything other than Tarkov even popular? (and even that didn't feel THAT big)
Just make Bloodborne 2 3 4, fund another MGS game. All this wasted money for Concord, Marathon and Fairgames is already a billion dollars.
Will this be the Concord that will finally get Hermen Hulst fired or will that be Marathon?
Black women need to pick up slack and start buying all these games that were made for them
A diverse group of rebels that fight the sy...
from executive producer tyler perry jamie foxx stars in judge mathis, the game
Then turn around and say how it was irredeemably shit all along
"core" games
No-one could define this term in 7th gen when it was coined, and no-one knows what it means now
At this point these projects are just money laundering.
If this is the type of shit Sony wants the industry to be then they should get the fuck out. Not even Microsoft at their worst wasn't this bad.
Kinda.
You do these projects, the investors get happy, the investors give money, the investors give a LOT of money. Money is spent, people are paid, and the stocks go up, unless someone points out that the game was an abject failure, then stocks go down.
Which is why they want you to not point out that the game was a failure.
this shit is just way too fake. I remember checking r*ddit and r*setera when it was revealed, not even those faggots liked it.
The game literally has no audience, they should cancel it and make it a Hyenas-like instead of releasing another Concord-like.
Concord
Marathon
Fairgames
Holy fuck Sony made 3 Concords.
Why did Sony start production on like 5 different live service games and not understand that saturating the market means they'll all fail?
15* anon
they started production on 15 GAAS games, 12 of them have been cancelled.
They really thought that the COVID bump would be forever, and were not prepared for normalfags to go back to their outdoors past times.
More=BETTER
Don't ask questions just POGFACE and GREENLIGHT more games for every type of Twitch streamer!
Do suits think players just have infinite money?
Most companies want their own fortnite to print money endlessly so they have one safe game to pump content out in, it's similar to the chase of WoW money back in the day, or trying to be the next lol or dota. It sort of makes sense financially to try a few times, but when you keep failing and losing billions maybe you should rethink
Not just money, but time. Sony doesn't understand that people only play 1 GAAS game. MAYBE 2 if you wanna push it.
EAT THE RICH, its about time we get our getback. we the revolutionary proletariat for real for real, fuck bi11ionaire$ heh. but please give us money and play our live action slop :(
I'm pretty sure suits don't even think anon
marathon is probably worse than concord, the concord devs didn't cost sony 3 billions
Money isn't an issue. The industry keeps growing, people are spending more and more, sales numbers are consistently going up year after year. You're fighting for time and attention, not money these days.
You know what would be funny? If the devs had to pay back the budget unless the game at least breaks even. Like a loan.
Incredible how ever since they made California the HQ, Sony has been a genuine trainwreck
they'll keep trying until they run out of cake
the heist theme is just a metaphor for devs looting clueless investors
you forgot avowed and assassin's creed shadow
Everyone did.
should add doom
no, fucktard.
no one could have possibly predicted this
you chuds may have been right, but only by accident
Are you happy now you chud freaks? Another avalanche of industry layoffs is all but guaranteed and all I see is you incel chuds gloating about another flop.
They though that even if nearly all of them bomb its worth it just one makes tons of money.
Sony is a joke company supported by retards, its painfully obvious after the anti-trust leak revealed they spend 100-200 million dollars marketing their mediocre singleplayer games.
It shouldn't be that fucking hard to make a modern-day Robin Hood that steals from corpos to give to the poor. But they always have to turn them into the most insufferable zoomers imaginable. Who look extremly goofy and constantly have to crack Marvel-style quips every ten seconds
Bloodborne2 is on Nintendo now bro.
What game?
he's talking about the pvpve extraction shooter that kinda looks like bloodborne
dustborn or something
add it or kys
Bungie is the worst purchase any gaming company has ever made.
Imagine being Jim Ryan and basically ruining an entire generation with his decisions and leaving the company before any of the repercussions come to fruition so you dont get punished for it.
It's a shooter where you extract at the end of the mission, how is it not an extraction shooter?
We need to define the game genre "Concordlike" is it pretentious live service games that look awful from just one trailer that fail?
a live service game (usually some kind of shooter) with a hideous art style that's trying to pander to the "modern audience"
the ultimate takeaway for these big publishers is that loss-leading is no longer a viable strategy
Why dont these companies have a decent prototype before going ALL IN?
She was never a game creator but a businessman. Someone who got lucky in having a talented team when they made Assassins Creed. She took credit for the game’s success by putting herself outhere. Turns out she can’t get a game made when she makes her own company and team.
These production processes and dynamics between prodicers and creatives can be complex. John Lasseter supervised creation of absolute kino at Pixar. After he was ousted, Pixar got worse, but John Lasseter has also only made dogshit after Pixar.
extraction shooter is the potential man genre
Apparently the Last of Us Factions game was canned because of feedback from Bungie consultants. I can only imagine how bad that one was if they said Fairgames was okay.
didn't that manga end up in a shitshow? my friend is still seething about it
Concord failed
Marathon failed
Fairgames failed
what the fuck
Bungie said there wasnt enough microtransactions for players to buy and ND didnt want to become a full time multiplayer studio to focus on it so they canned it.
Let's make an anti-capitalist game where the "heroes" rob the rich just because
Does Sony realize they are one of the largest multinational conglomerates in the world?
Like, if there is a socialist revolution, they are among the first organizations in the chopping block.
Why would they promote this trash? Do their millionaire executives think they would be spared because they made socialist games?
the fact that these are the ones they chose to not cancel is crazy too, how fucking awful were the other ones that they were forced to cancel? I guess the jury's still out on marathon and fairgames but still
Your angry opinion is cool, but the general public complete boredom on this theme is better.
"yeah, seem this theme a million times, and it was better when it had a hot fox"
Did the third season ever get subs that aren't total ass
Capitalism coopting revolutionary opposition for profit is nothing new. But it needs to be not gay and lame like these games to succeed.
Sony goes bankrupt
From buyes the bloodborne Ip
we get bloodborne 2 on steam
Truest the plan Anon Babbleros
How is Sony surviving these bombs?
They just think they can sell lame and gay activism like they sell Che Guevara t-shirts, but it does not work for the reason. Che Guevara is a romantic figure, hammer & sickle is pretty aesthetic symbol, but the post-modern leftism of today is just unappealing and uninspiring to almost everyone.
Something about how just the 30% cut from COD and fortnite microtransactions on the PS5 pretty much gives Sony billions of dollars doing nothing every year.
The consequences of moving HQ to California cannot be understated.
hope this buries Sony
Fortnite
The Division
Holy shit. Why can't I test this thing?!
CoD, GTA, Fortnite, Madden, Genshin, FIFA
Not necessarily in this order. But those games bring a lot of money to Sony.
Yeah. It was a terrible decision, in hindsight.
It honestly confuses me a bit how Sony still has not tried their own proper sports live service game. They already got the sportsball normalfags locked in to their systems and they would fall for every GAAS trick in the book.
Sony makes MLB which makes them a lot of money
Oh right, I somehow neglected that.
It's insane they didn't just quietly cancel this after Concord and the reception of Marathon
just go back to Japanese devs
Sorry anon all the good developers got taken after playstation betrayed them.
Microsoft is propping them up by making a console that nobody wants to buy and covering for the weakness all that GaaS slop has caused in Sony's release schedule.
What do people like you think "money laundering" means? How many developer do I need to hire to make shit nobody wants to get rich?
Meanwhile in the real world we've just seen flop after flop for years.
Like, if there is a socialist revolution, they are among the first organizations in the chopping block.
They don't think there's any chance of that ever happening and they're probably right, normies will lie down and die before fighting back.
They just want the plebs to live out their ebin revolutionary fantasies at home in a computer game while also making a quick buck
Money laundering is finding an excuse for illicit money.
you can tell this game was going to fail just by looking at the dev site havenstudios.com
we build opportunities for fearless optimism
what the FUCK does that mean
No actual human talks like that, it's the mind virus puppeting them.
luv me some concordcore slop
I hope it has new bazzesque designs
So, you have a bunch of illicit money that you aren't supposed to have and you launder that by publicly paying a bunch of expensive experts on a high visibility project?
Walk me through that.
NO NO NO YOU DON'T GET IT YOU ARENT SUPPOSED TO LIKE WH40K, STARSHIP TROOPERS, AND HELLDIVERS, THEY'RE SATIRE AND MAKING FUN OF YOU!!!
Ah i see, your point is that it would be really bad to use high production cost games as money laundering.
Yeah, i agree with you.
The point that i think you quoted
Is not about money laundering at all.
It's about people playing a legalized gambling game that more or less reflect the value of the companies, and these players keep demanding the companies to do X or Y to raise this artificial value, even if it's extremely detrimental to the company, and there's legal backing to these players to manipulate the companies.
