I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Tomorrow marks the official release of Concord, PlayStation’s new hero shooter made by Firewalk games, reportedly in development in some form or another
The game was showed off in full earlier this summer, and it attempts to mix up traditional hero shooter gameplay with some elements ported from Destiny 2 , a different design aesthetic and for better or worse, a different price model. Now, on the eve of launch everyone seems to be bracing for the game to do poorly. Very poorly, as suggested by early data. It is a day and date PC release alongside PlayStation, and the game. The concurrent high on Steam was just 2,388 players with significant drops as the weekend went on, and even if PlayStation is ten times that, that’s still terrible. Even more so because this beta was free, and the final release is $40.
I think a game like Concord could have survived any one of these issues individually, but put them altogether and add in the data we already know, and yes, it’s understandable why most are simply bracing for impact in terms of how this is going to launch.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
