This game failed before I even heard of it. Looks like DEI/woman/minority made

in all fairness that has nothing to do with modern gaming and the fact that Hideo was fired from konami in 2015.
Eh… besides Hideo leaving, Konami decided they were better off making pachinko slots than video games.

I for one am glad sicboy and JoshRN got a refund for this trash.

So, people that paid for that game are just screwed then, huh?
If you bought a physical copy, you're in good shape. They're selling for about $150 on ebay, and that price will probably keep going up.

Didn’t buy it; don’t care. Though out of curiosity, are you misspelling my board handle intentionally for some odd reason?

Never even heard of this. It must be a steaming pile of shite.

nah, i’d never do that on purpose.

New Report Says Sony’s ‘Concord’ Cost $400 Million To Make
A new report from Sacred Symbols’ Colin Moriarty, citing a source that worked on Concord, claims that the game had a higher budget than anyone envisioned, a full $400 million, broken up into two halves of development.
Before the game hit alpha state, they’d already spent $200 million on it, unclear how much from original owners/investors and how much is from Sony.
After that, from 2021 to the 2024 launch, Sony spent another $200 million on it. The game was in a “laughable shape” when it was shown in that alpha state, so Sony felt like they needed to spend that much to get it to minimal viable product status.
Concord was said to be “the future of PlayStation,” they said it was a “Star Wars-like project.” There were big multimedia plans between the cinematics and inclusion in things like Amazon’s Secret Level.
There was a culture of “toxic positivity” vibe, where you could not say anything negative internally about the game. Character designs, etc. No one was allowed to “meaningfully change the course of the game.”

I've been reading the chatter on this from people in the gaming industry. First off, it should be noted that Colin's info is from one source, nothing is corroborated. A lot of people are saying that number is absurd, not even Spiderman 2 cost close to that number. But if Sony was THAT desperate for this to be the face of their gaming platform..... maybe?
Posted on 9/23/24 at 10:11 am to P-Dawg
That is an insane amount of money to ultimately pull it from shelves after 2 weeks

Yeah, this sums it up. Not worth getting fired if you like your job/pay/benefits by criticizing the dei shitter game. Just let it fail and laugh to yourself.

150 million dollars spent on this crap
400 million just to get it "passable" and that's not even factoring in marketing.

Is that in response to what I posted or a general question?
Either way, practically, no I'm not.
Per this board, probably.

I saw where the new Dragon Age is going to allow "Top Surgery" scars in the character builder.
I liked Dragon Age.
So if you're a woman who wants to be a dude--why not just build a male character?
They are also limiting boob/hip/waste sizes in character builders these days. I used to run around in saints row with the curviest buxom ho in a tank top lol.
Remember how controversial it was in Mass Effect to have the gay romances? Simpler times....

It's what the modern audience wants. All six of them.
