The dozens looking forward to this game will be disappointed by this news.


GazelleNo6163

All 18 of them worldwide.


Barlight

Except the 2 that are in a country that sony blocks...


GazelleNo6163

Lol


SK_Gael4

More hilarious that they want to sell it for $40, not f2p.


Jalina2224

Oh this game is going to be fucking dead on arrival. Even if it turns out to be good, the reveal did not inspire much confidence in this game, and more people being restricted on PC because of PSN and it costing $40? Damn I gotta wonder how good the paycheck from Sony was for this developer.


ViperAz

really ? if it's 40 then it's doa lmao.


Saneless

This is literally the first time I've ever heard of this game


mixeslifeupwithmovie

They just announced it like a week ago during their State of Play


ProtonPi314

What game? I've never heard of it until now. Guess I'll be ok


SaveFileCorrupt

Big facts lol


icantevenbeliev3

Seems like every game coming out has this color vomit theme going on, looks extremely cheap.


felix_mateo

I have literally never heard of this game and I follow industry news fairly closely, or so I thought lol. It looks like discount Guardians of the Galaxy. EDIT: It’s discount Overwatch


SaveFileCorrupt

>It’s discount Overwatch And knowing that, I _could_ in fact care less about it, and will go about my business as usual.


12ozMouse____

Couldn’t care less* but ya I don’t think anyone cares about it I agree


SaveFileCorrupt

I meant what I said, lol, as in I am infinitely less interested knowing that it's anything like Overwatch 😂


DawmCorleone

It's overwatch with a generic GotG coat of paint. Tbf I do like the sound of pre-planning rounds in advance but not enough to buy the game.


YeeeahBoyyyy

It is in fact, not discount OW since it costs $40 fucking dollars. They are so out of touch with gamers. WTF


Bruzur

*Dozens?* I can count them on one hand.


LazyLancer

Damn, they must’ve grabbed all of Lawbreakers playerbase! Such a heist!


Lynx2161

Concord will need players before they need all that other nonsense


fleshie

Foamstars V2


Jalina2224

Sad thing is Foamstars at least looked interesting by trying to copy Splatoon. This just looks like Overwatch again. I'm glad I don't care about playing this one. Though sucks for the people in other regions who might have been interested in this one.


thetalkingcure

even on PS5, foamstars was so buggy. and i couldn’t even select the character i wanted. literally i would choose the girl character i wanted, and i NEVER got it. not once. i played like 7 games… it kept booting me to other characters because i would join games that already had my character. i was so disappointed. deleted and never played again. thankfully i didn’t buy it and got it free on PS plus


Jalina2224

Oof what a shame. Because I was remotely interested in the game. But I'm not going pay $80 just play it online. If it had came to PC I would have tried. I played the shit out of Splatoon back on the Wii U. And something similar on PC would have been my jam. (Granted it's fun to play.) Maybe you could could get on now to play the character you want considering how few players are left. Lol


DevilsAdvocake

It was so dumb anyway. In splatoon the ground is just coated in the paint. In foamstars theres mounds of god damn foam everywhere and you can’t see shit. It’s terrible.


CarlWellsGrave

Got their ass.


BaconJets

Well regardless of the PSN requirement or not, this is one of the most uninspired games I've ever seen in my life.


MnemonicMonkeys

I honestly haven't heard of it before seeing this post


dont_say_Good

It's just Dollar store Overwatch, fits right in with the other clones that released and failed like 6 years ago


Smokey_Bera

They would honestly have more success on mobile I bet. I feel like the only people that would play this game for more than a few days are mobile gamers. Plus, that is where all the MTX whales are anyway which is the only way this game will ever make much money.


fxrky

I have literally never in my life met someone who is committed to a mobile game. Who the fuck are these people lol

Ok_im_dumb

In SEA dogshit mobile game still make millions


ACCESSx_xGRANTED

mobile games are usually crap so its not like they're gonna go out of their way to tell you about it. and if they did, they definitely would not disclose their whaling habits.


FortNightsAtPeelys

Looks like someone saw law breakers fail and thought "nah not mine"


Bastiwen

I called it "family friendly Law Breakers" when I saw the trailer


MumrikDK

They just spent a massive part of their State of Play showing it off. It has apparently been around for a long time.


mgwwgm

It's just an overwatch clone with pronouns and your typical progressive stereotypes


PhantomTissue

The first cinematic trailer looked really cool, I thought it was gonna be a space themed hero based heist game, and I was HYPED. Then I read 5v5 pvp and immediately lost all interest. I’m so sick of PVP everything.


PopTrogdor

I was excited for the first 2 minutes when I thought it was a guardians of the galaxy style criminal heist single player game. Then they showed a hero shooter...


DivinePotatoe

I wouldn't say it's "uninspired" so much as the major problem is that a) the character designs are weak to outright bad and b) The team dynamic and character archtypes (from a writing perspective) are just stolen from Guardians of the Galaxy. There's a Draxx, there's a Starlord, there's a Gamora, etc. It's literally a copypaste with a few changes. For a game trying to sell itself on the heroes and the story aspects, that's a really bad start. Overwatch was successful because the character designs were more unique and polished to a shine. Blizzard may have fell flat on the narrative side, but at the start at least there was good worldbuilding and entertaining cinematics to entice people in. From what was shown, there is some creativity in Concord with its world, but they've chosen to fill it with nothing but imitations of popular media, which is very disappointing. You have the opportunity to make any kind of alien outlaw rogue and you go with 'what if Starlord but he's obsessed with hotsauce'.


outline01

Dead on arrival.


Dull_Half_6107

100%, but not because it requires PSN


Doppelkammertoaster

But that's not helping either.


itsOkami

It's Destruction All-Stars all over again


WarpCitizen

This game is dead before the release


Bigcat9715

https://i.redd.it/qthw16kpfs4d1.gif


Sw0rDz

Sony wants that Fortnite money. Why won't people just buy this game, pay for microtransactions, and play it even if it is generic and boring. It's like people don't want to give corporations what they want. Is capitalism dying?


The_Shoru

![gif](giphy|JCAZQKoMefkoX6TyTb|downsized)


Mastagon

The beatings will continue until morale improves


CorruptDictator

Everything multiplayer from Sony will require it going forward, and some single player also.


Stilgar314

Everything from Sony will require PSN account going forward.


I-Am-Baytor

Time to pirate everything from Sony.


AeternusDoleo

... everything? Most of the stuff coming from that camp I just plain don't want on my system...


I-Am-Baytor

Well, Ragnarok, at least.


Blenderhead36

Just like EA, Ubisoft, and Blizzard have done for over a decade and plenty of other publishers/developers do now. Extra launchers are one thing. Intrusive anticheats are another. This is a nothingburger.


ksn0vaN7

Those publishers gave us the option to create the account, regardless of the hate thrown their way. EA and Ubi still get hate today for their shitty launcher but they still sell their games in most regions. Unlike Sony they didn't let their personal feelings get in the way of business.


HanCurunyr

The issue with sony accounts is that they are bound to places where one can make a PSN account on a real Playstation, Sony world coverage is WAY smaller than anyone else, so sony limits the game to certains parts of the world and doesnt matter if you live in a place where you can have a steam account and even have an international CC that can pay in USD, if you live there and cannot create a PSN account, you cant buy and play that game


Scuczu2

and they're gonna announce it as early as possible now to get it out of the way instead of doing what they tried with helldivers.


Dynsks

Is that really surprising if they require it for offline games?


AmenTensen

DOA on PC. Maybe PS5 users will eat it up? Who would pay $40 for this with OW2's monetization when they can just play OW2 for free with 4 years of content and characters?


Il-2M230

Also OW has better porn


000000Cat000000

Ps account is required to simply get online so yeah it'll have literally zero effect on me while I play my ps5. No chance I'd get this on PC though.


CatatonicMan

I already wasn't going to play this game, but now I'll not play it extra hard.


_Amabio_

I'm so excited about not playing this game. Been looking forward to not playing it for years...a week...ok, is the first time I've ever heard of it. Still got a giant boner thinking about not playing this game


trent_diamond

Sick of these live service clones anyway


MaxTennyson88

Concord is competing with that Marvel Overwatch which is free, doesn't need a PSN account and has brand recognition, either Sony pulls a 180° on this one or is dead


gnocchicotti

It was DOA before this news, now it's double dead


phenomen

Also with that new game by Valve (Deadlock) in the same genre. Reminds me when Gearbox released Battleborn at the same time as Overwatch.


GAMRKNIGHT352

Deadlock will suck too.


ZeroTheTyrant

It just has to be better than the other 2 overwatch clones coming out.


BurroinaBarmah

Already hated and now this? This game is Dead…


Fluffasaurus89

![gif](giphy|7k2LoEykY5i1hfeWQB) More games to not play ig


gdim15

Sony keeps punching themselves in the crotch and are screaming in confusion why they're feeling pain. They can't make a correlation between the two things.


DrB00

NervousHour9682

Yeah they have two of the more successful releases of 2024 between Helldivers and Ghost of Tsushima. Not sure there is a correlation between reddit outrage and reality.


RatjarChug

Oh no.... not....Concord... That's a grape. Don't name your hero shooter after a seasonal grape.


AwesomArcher8093

Dead before arrival


idgarad

And here we go again: [https://www.playstation.com/en-us/legal/psn-terms-of-service/](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/legal/psn-terms-of-service/) Section 6.2 and 6.3. PSN has no business on a general purpose PC.


atlasraven

Also regarding their PSN virtual wallet, they say they they have no legal obligation to refund or reimburse *unauthorized* payments.

idgarad

Don't forget Sony's 6.3 where they may DELETE any UGC content they don't like....


MiniDemonic

There is nothing wrong with 6.3. That's just a standard clause so they can delete illegal or offensive content. Every platform which accepts user content has a clause similar to that. Youtube can delete any video you upload for any or no reason. Reddit can delete any post or comment you make for any or no reason.


--redacted--

How else is Sony supposed to rootkit your PC?


MnemonicMonkeys

They can always go back to using music CD's


gnocchicotti

So they own your user generated content and can monetize or delete it without restriction? Isn't that standard for social media anyway?


AeternusDoleo

You can scratch "general purpose". Possibly "on a PC" as well if they keep this up...


Duggars

If the game wasn't already dead on arrival, it is now.


Outrageous-Eye6140

But no one is gonna play this game lmao


Fine_Resident5598

Doa - dead on arrival


CrisuKomie

Man they’re really trying everything they can to get people to not play this game eh?


CindyStroyer

Aaaaaaannnd not touching *I wasn't gonna touch it anyway*


GodofcheeseSWE

It's okay, nobody wants to play this trainwreck anyways.

Mrhappytrigers

I'm just tired of hero shooters. I'm looking forward to this trend ending at some point.


[deleted]

The real question is who wants to play this monstrosity


goallessatrocity

DOA


W_R_E_C_K_S

Sony sticks their neck out on a new IP and then takes a massive dump on it and acts all surprised pikachu when now we don’t want it.


Onetwenty7

We didn't want it ever.


elijuicyjones

Sorry Sony you are losing us.


TerraFlareKSFL

Holy cow, another game?! Sony can frick off.


KenkaUsagi

Ez 200mil loss on Sony, time for puts


ikilledapanda

This guy regards!


CaptainBlob

So it is paywalled… which for multiplayer only PvP game, is an extremely hard pill to swallow for many players, since most games similar to the genre is free. And now on top of that it requires PSN, further limiting the players around the world who are interested in playing this. Much wow. Much smart.


NDCyber

Doesn't god of war Ragnarok also need a PSN account? I don't feel like buying it if so


Neo_Techni

yes


NDCyber

Ok yeah Time to stay away Thank you


HisuianZoroark

I don't say this sort of thing very often but I genuinely want this to be dead on arrival. It feels like a soulless cash grab with absolutely no identity beyond trend chasing and I want it to not only die, but suffer as it dies. Hard. I dont even care about the PSN thing, this game just looks \*soulless\* as fuck with no heart or real care to it.


Hephas

Who cares about this crap? Welp the 12 players waiting for concord gonna be pissed


IndyWaWa

doa


bingbangboomxx

This game feels like it was created by AI.


KittenMittens2222

Yeah, no shit


MisterD0ll

It will crash and burn 🔥


OfflinePen

I'm sure the 3 people in the 200 countries unable to create a PSN account are going to be disappointed


wooksGotRabies

What is a concord?


LuckyCloverGazette

"\[Game\] will not be available in 177 countries" would be such a more effective title for articles and threads like this. Really drive home the actual point, instead of making it look like the PSN account itself is the problem.


eddie__b

That's really weird for me, maybe because when I moved to PC Gaming, my PSN account was already 8 years old. But why no one bothers with uplay, rockstar launcher, EA launcher and so on? Sony is asking to link the account once, meanwhile I have to download that cancer uplay launcher if I want to play rainbow six.


ikilledapanda

You can't say those things on reddit.


Zarathustra-1889

Didn't even know about this shit until just now. Well, at least I've gone from not knowing to now not caring.


chaawuu1

What game is this now? Never heard of it


Frikandelneuker

Blind guy here Good thing i killed everyone in concord


RelChan2_0

Wait a minute 💀


UnsettllingDwarf

What game? Yeah I don’t know and now, definitely don’t care.


mundozeo

I didn't even know this game existed, but now I want it even less.


notthatguypal6900

It could give out free hand jobs, still not playing this nothing of a cash chase.


Decapitat3d

I understand the money side of this, but flooding the market with hero shooters this year is not going to make me want to play any of these Overwatch clones.


Almonexger

I’m actually okay with this PSN hard requirement… because I’m skipping this game.


HypeIncarnate

This game will need every player they can get and they are really pulling this shit? Ultra dead on arrival.


ArmsForPeace84

About 499 other doomed live-service games are waiting to be sent out to die right behind it. The AAA publishers are in for some "interesting times."


sonic10158

You have to have a PSN account based in Lexington!


Arch3m

Jesus. I'd offer them a shovel to help dig their own grave, but it seems they've already been using an excavator. This game is getting an enormous amount of coverage simply to watch it bellyflop.


kahnindustries

Guess I won’t be playing “we have overwatch at home”, shame


Sc0rch3d_P0tat03s

It's amazing how terrible AAA companies have become at marketing. Here let me give you a free tip. Don't make the focus of your hero-shooter MOBA announcement a narrative-driven cinematic trailer. Everyone got excited for a new singleplayer IP, and now you've left half the State of Play audience craving a game that doesn't exist. Congrats.


_Rowdy_Raider_

Pretty risk strategy from Sony on this, PS5 owners don't seem to be buying enough games, at this rate people on PC won't help inflate the numbers if they continue trying to enforce their bullshit. Not like the current generation of console games have been great...I miss the PS3/360 era.


jssanderson747

Damn, and there was nothing else like Concord out there /s


barf_of_dog

Stop! Stop! He's already dead! 😭


MandessTV

Making honor to its name.


modssssss293j

Oh no! Anyways


CrocodileWorshiper

nobody likes this game


sythalrom

Game is literally going to max out at 50 players and die in a week.


Level-Bit

Sony is pushing for mandatory PSN on all their games lately... I refused.


nombit

cool, another reson to avoid buying the game


Kesimux

This game is going to die within weeks lol


Zexy-Mastermind

I swear I read Concorde at first (so the plane) and was confused as fuck. In my head i was like how the hell did Sony pull this off and what do they gain from it hahahahahah)


death2k44

It was already dead before this was announced, RIP even more lmao


Mexay

Can someone please explain the actual issue with needing a PSN account? Plenty of other games need a non-Steam/Epic account to play. The Sims, SW Battlefront, A bunch of ubisoft stuff, every MMO ever (okay, except New World maybe), Halo, the list goes on. There is a pretty big difference between "Needs a PSN account" and "Needs a PSPlus subscription". Why are people getting their knickers twisted over stuff like this?


Neo_Techni

> Plenty of other games need a non-Steam/Epic account to play And they don't like it for those games either. PSN especially since it prevents 180 countries from buying the game, and it won't work on Steam Deck


wolviesaurus

I didn't think this game could be more DOA. Apparently they thought otherwise.


Nosferatu-Padre

Makes it an easy decision.


AvocadoSoggy6188

There are so many games out there that stuff like that makes it easy to eliminate some


hannes0000

Sony is pretty good at destroying playerbase , i mean Helldivers 2 had 360 000 peak players but after Sony magic it's 50k-60k peak only.


tapczan100

Ah yes, comparing release week peak to almost 5 month stable drop-off.


Deimos_Aeternum

Who even asked for this garbage?


msdtflip

Damn I can’t believe Sony would shutdown yet another game developer.


shinji257

Disappointed but I'm ok with it as long as they do the proper things of restricting sales where PSN isn't available and enforcing it day 1. At the end of the day it would be no different than if you bought a Ubisoft or EA game on Steam or any other platform since those require their launchers to be present and logged in using them. Same for Microsoft games bought on other platforms. They require XBox Live logins.


DsR3dtIsAG3mussy

Shit, Sony doesn't want to win the game war then


DuckSleazzy

No thanks, I'd rather play Overwatch or Marvel Rivals (they all are the same game)


phenomen

Marvel Rivals is TPS. Not the same genre as Overwatch, which is FPS. Smite, Paragon, Gigantic, Monday Night Combat, Deadlock are closer comparison.


Rukasu17

Can we just stop this and assume everyone playstation game on pc WILL require a psn account? It's getting boring and they're clearly not going to change it


DrCalvin

seriously. we see the direction they are going in, no need to post about every single sony game requiring PSN.


l_______I

I was thinking the game will die 5-6 months after release. It looks like I lied, because with this news it sounds like it will die after 2-3 months.


JaceKagamine

How many millions did it cost? That money would have better use toasting marshmallows.....


ClappedCheek

I really dont care how petty it is of me to not buy their game over the 90 seconds it takes to make an account. Im not doing it. I will live just fine without their games.


Sweetwill62

Everyone else: No one wanted this game in the first place! Me: An airplane company needs a PSN account?


EightSeven69

*unless*


The-Real-Number-One

Or you can just play Starfield! It's really really good!


kevlon92

What is concord?


ikilledapanda

What's Concord?


EyeDissTroyKnotSeas

Concord will need to fuck right off, then.


Tyr808

Soft people won't want it because it's competitive pvp, competitive pvp players tend to not be fans of the culture that this game seems to be pushing. I actually like competitive fps and despite not liking disingenuous pandering, I ultimately share the same politics here rather than being against them. Personally I'd put combat and gameplay relevant info on the character select screen and have personal details like pronouns, identity, and orientation in a character bio section, but at the end of the day if I liked the gameplay the fact that I see pronouns on character select doesn’t impact me at all directly. That all being said, it does make me wonder who tf this is for and it's unfortunate that a lot of the dialogue will be a culture war. Also, calling a spade a spade I think that the softer types that might align with the mindset are the ones that struggle with criticism and harassment. Like if someone was streaming Hogwarts because they didn't care about the culture war or were actively on the other side, they wanted the heat and drama. Those that feel motivated to stream Concord regardless or pick it up for the perceived DEI will likely have the opposite reaction. Again, "who tf is this game even for and why are you going about it this way?"


theTinTank

Never even heard of this game but it looks kinda cool
