Is Concord the biggest flop of this generation? (Game Shut Down After 1 Week, Studio Shut Down - 6th Sony dev studio closure since PS5 launched)

Sony just doesn’t know how to develop and market MP games. They don’t have a single MP IP worth shyt and never had. This game had problems. But there is no way it should have been this experience and flop this spectacularly. Straight incompetence

A "full game" of the Uncharted multiplayer mode from UC4 would have made a killing. Some decisions really don't make sense.

I mean it still hits over 100k concurrent players every update, I’d say it’s popular enough. Especially compared to all the new live service games that have dropped in recent years

Idk I guess. I’m talking more pvp MP. Sony has never had anything on par with Halo or GOW. I truly believe that ND could have made something with the MP if they cared(and didn’t chase some BR live service trend)

To be fair most companies aren’t really putting out successful PVP stuff anymore, The last Halo and Gears aren’t really thriving either.

I think the market just hit a saturation point. There were like 10 new multiplayer games that released even since SGF that just vanished into thin air

  • Splitgate 2
  • Blindfire
  • Spectre divide
  • The finals
  • Xdefiant
  • Etc.
We’ll see how Marvel Rivals does long term I guess. Even Apex Legends is struggling

An untapped market still for Sony is the competitive fighting game community. I wonder if they could make a good fighting game worth it's salt at something like Evo?

They already have a majority of the fighting game player base because of EVO. You’re on the right track of diversifying the live service games though, shooters aint gonna get it done, they need more stuff like PlayStation Home, social apps that get you spending on cosmetics and shyt like The Sims which is killing it right now.

I still think it was a bigger blow to not have a new twisted metal game than anyhting else. It’s unique in game play, has known characters and can do a lot of customization with the cars. You can have all types of playstation content in it
