They just need one to be a megahit to recoup all the money on the last several failures.
Also the development time on AAA games is so long these days that this decision was probably made 5-6 years ago when the genre was still at least RELATIVELY fresh and new, but now that it's clear they're not actually that successful, it's too late to change course.

I thought it was going to be a Monster Hunter like? I was sort of excited for that.
But after seeing the art style and character designs, nah. Whatever it is, it’s not for me.
For this “Fairgames” I feel like Marathon looked far better and it flopped heavily, so no clue what they’re planning on doing with this one. I wonder if they’ll shell out the budget for buying out journalists like they did for Marathon this time, or just let it go out there to fail and write off the losses while crying with the stacks of money made with getting that 30% share of microtransactions and PS+.

>>737059457

>>737059557
That makes no sense, anon. Assuming a product with shaky marketability is necessarily a case of insurance fraud *somehow*, without evidence, is pretty deranged.

>>737057559
What you need to understand about modern AAA game development is that it's both incredibly bloated and incredibly incompetent. The industry has been experiencing constant, substantial brain drain over the past 10-15 years (quick: Name one notable person in game development that wasn't already a known name a decade or more ago), projects have ballooned out of control, taking longer and longer, and between high budgets and shareholders being shareholders, these projects also have to play it safe. So you get games trying to cash in on the current hot trend (set by much leaner studios putting out small but popular games with shorter dev cycles), but only when the trend is already confirmed to be one, and with 5-7 further years of delay. If they're lucky, they can retool something already in development and save some time that way, but by and large these projects were probably started right when the trend was picking up speed.

Fast forward, and you get all these goliath projects with budgets in the hundreds of millions, only to completely fucking flop because by the time they come out, the ship has already sailed, the market is saturated, and this brand new game already feels dated.

>>737057475
I like the idea of extraction shooters, the structre, but why they all need to be absurdly slow, sluggish, snail type, "tactical" shooters instead of literally anything else is why I dont play any. If someone made an extraction game that let me fucking move, or maybe just had completely different core gameplay like a hack and slash or something then i would probably get into it more.

Sony gets unlimited money from PS+ subscriptions and can keep funding these games forever and ever.

They will keep making "own the chud" games and they won't stop no matter how many Concords happen. And when they know that you'll just try to move to East Asian games to avoid them they will continue infiltrating those studios ranks to censor and block any problematic content, ensuring that you, a chud, are always "owned."

It is about business in a retarded way. They still cling into the belief that their new games will make female and ethnic minority non-gamers into gamers and unlock the infinite wider audience spending. There is just not enough growth potential in making games for white and East-Asian men, and they value growth potential over guaranteed sales.

Source? The only extraction shooter that gets played is Tarkov and even that exploded. You could count Hunt: Showdown, but that was a game where you struggled to find full lobbies at peak hours unless you were the exact center of the bell curve of MMR. Extraction shooters have always been highly unpopular. Claiming that they were chasing a trend is totally rewriting history.

I think I agree with your assessment that DayZ caused more damage overall. You could make the argument that DotA was a precursor to the hero shooter trend as well as other MOBAs, which would undoubtedly put it on top in terms of unintended financial damage.
That being said, DotA feels one degree too far removed from the likes of Overwatch to really count, even if a lot of abilities in hero shooters are designed after DotA or LoL ones.

Yeah, this. It's obvious Fairgames is another (likely the last) Herman Hulst game. He needs this to not be cancelled to protect his job, because they don't have any more live service in the chamber.

Something that's often never brought up with this game is that Sony sees it as a cudgel to get more genAI into games, the game itself is going to have Payday style masks that were all created with AI. This might be another reason why it's not cancelled, execs give a ton of leniency to AI because even if it's struggling hard right now they want to believe it will be able to replace hundreds of thousands of people for free.
Basically, Sony wants to normalize genAI and sees this game as a gateway for it.

>>737065048
I guess that's true? But in Hyenas didn't you still want to find and extract with the SEGA-branded loot?

>>737059457
>Pay what they want. You'll make your money back.
Why would they sell it if it can still make more money than they're selling it for?

>>737060932
>Well... MY MOM says I'm cool

>>737062415
That's what Sega did with Hyenas.

>>737059457
>Shit Epic bought Rocket League.
At precisely the point where it was being driven into the ground? Same with Fall Guys? I see a problem with your logic.

>>737065152
I don't think the 'extract' piece was in Hyenas, or if it was, it was more a CTF type thing of 'grab this loot and get it back to your base, and whichever team/person has the most loot is the winner'

I don't have any memory of there being a tense 'wait for extraction and don't get killed' aspect in Hyenas

>>737062415
I bet you they tried exactly that with Concord and it backfired so hard a whole new meme was born that is explicitly rooted in Snoy incompetence.
They should kill like Hyenas instead of allowing it to be known as Concord 7

>>737060932
>We surrounded ourselves with yes men instead of doing market research and our product flopped, how could this have happened?

>>737062415
Cancelling a product before it gets released lets the company do some tax fuckery with the amount they spent.

So if you spend $500m on a game and release it commercially (and it flops), you have a harder time writing it off as a loss.

But if you instead cancel that $500m game before releasing it, you can call it a 'R&D project' or some bullshit, that lets you write it off better, or lets you allocate the loss to a different part of your business to let you pay less overall taxes.

It's shady financial shit and is the reason why companies have entire departments of lawyers and accountants.

wow I wonder if game like that exists...

>>737065840
Pokemon is fighting a constant war of attrition with its now 30 year old brand. And GTA6 could very easily make back its dev costs but not have the long MTX tail that GTA5 does, which would make funding the next GTA that much more challenging. Neither is invulnerable.

>>737066309
Movement in Marathon is just sluggish Destiny 2 movement. Even something old like Brink had a more robust movement system.

Yes! I like the downtime between and enjoy the ritual of labeling them, it’s incredibly therapeutic for me.

Aren't you guys tired of being miserable all the time?
Why not keep an open mind for once and try this game out?

>>737066619
As many as it takes until one becomes the next Fortnite or Roblox.

I sold a 3DS to a literal 12 year old kid and his dad like half a year back. The kid said he wanted it for Pokemon, so I loaded it up with all the Pokemon 3DS games. Poor bastard. The 3DS doesn't even have good Pokemon games lmao. Apart from a remake of a GBA game.

>>737066309
Marathon is alright but the movement and physics in the game is not one of the reasons lmao.

I don't want to look at these character designs for five seconds, much less 100+ hours. And this is before getting into the fact that the only reason why you'd make the characters look like this is because you've hired Blue Sky and Resetera, which means that the writing is also going to be anti-white and misandrist, and the gameplay is probably to be shit, too. There's a happy group of people for you right there, BTW.

Instead of doing what you want me to do and trying to gaslight myself into believing that your pile of diarrhea is chocolate syrup, I'm going to be playing eastern games and cheering on the implosion of an industry that's been going to war with the white male nerd for 25 years.
>snarky response that completely ignores everything that I just said
Good riddance.

so, not only is this game alive but they're trying to bury it before it comes out

>>Reports and rumors of the game throughout its development have said that playtesters found the game “not fun”

>>737069406
Imagine being a gamedev working on a game for 3/4/5 years and when it finally comes together and everyone sees it and plays it for the first time in your big internal playtest, the feedback is

>it's not fun

I imagine it's similar to your wife giving birth to an ugly baby, and it's clear in the delivery room that your kid is an uggo.

Didn't play concord
Didn't play highguard
Didn't play marathon
Not gonna play fairgames

>>737069608
If I was a game dev I'd be so jaded that I wouldn't give a fuck
Doesn't matter if you work on a shit game or the best selling game of the year, you're likely to get fired either way
I'd just put in my hours and fuck off unless I worked at one of the few non-cancerous companies

I think what you described is the elevated state office workers get to where 'hey, it's a paycheck, and idgaf about what I'm working on beyond making sure I don't slack enough to get fired' is the mindset.

But you don't just get there immediately, as the 'I thought we bottled lighting, and people would have eternal blasts..' employee posts about Highguard's development demonstrated.

So you’re saying unless they’re willing to burn money they aren’t doing well? What kind of retard logic is that?
If anything the problem is Sony is doing too well because it’s feeding back into yet more Jewry that makes them even more money instead of needing to knuckle down and make games with passion that people actually want to play.

It's sad really. Arena shooters should be much more casual friendly like you just drop in a server and play for a bit. If you die it's just a short wait until respawn. If the people in the server are too skilled, then you find another one around your skill level. You can even find servers where people do nothing but goof off. You never feel like your game time is wasted.

>>737061804
>no argument
uh oh tendie melty

>Sir, another Concord has hit the market

>>737057681
It would barely matter how the market changed over the dev cycle (which would be much shorter than eight years with a competent, humble, hard working studio) if the industry was headed up by legitimate videogame enthusiasts who want to make great games instead of retards who can't do anything but chase trends.

Why did Marvel Rivals interrupt the narratives around hero shooters AND American comic book media so hard? Because the whole thing was made for average gamers and comic book fans, not some demon given flesh working at BlackRock or some Karen who has an existential crisis every time she sees a feminine woman who has boobs without weighing 300 pounds.

Stop comparing this to gambling. The results of hiring an army of neurotic Karens, effeminate beta men, and psychopaths who only care about their bank accounts are completely predictable. Hundreds of thousands of people can spot a Concord from a mile away.

Everyone who had more faith in Concord than Helldivers or Stellar Blade needs to be blacklisted from the industry.

>>737057402

They already cancelled a lot of games.
This is a guaranteed mega flop.
