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)

[itsyoung!!]

Nah I can think multiple games that flop worst

Name one.

On steam? Yea. Need to see some PS5 numbers before I can say anything else.

These games need single player components. This games hook was supposed to be diverse characters, but no story modes to flesh them out?

Destiny isn't Destiny cause of competitive multiplayer. You'd think ex-bungie developers would understand that.

Honestly, I'm glad a single player game showed up and stomped this out. We need more single player non MTX games.

PC platform carries Sony sales, so if its bad on Steam it’ll be bad on Playstation.

I figured this would be common sense but then again this is the coli

Uh we forgot about suicide squad?

The Suicide Squad kills the justice league was a bigger flop #s wise but this is right behind it.

Stinky stinky business

 

[itsyoung!!]

Concord wouldn't have cost anywhere close to what it took to develop SS. I know you want to push a narrative, but you gotta do better than that.

This thread is about playerbase/total sales. Not budget.

Suicide squad game has sold 200-500k copies. Which is a major flop.

This game has 300 players on. Biggest flop in history.

Some difference.

 

[The Mad Titan]

SS had 13k players at launch on steam.

Concord had 660.



You tell me who flopped harder....

concord may never hit suicide squad's all time peak. its not even a hate-play-and-refund flop, its tracking worse than babylon's fall

i think amazon game studio's crucible had better numbers out the gate too. there's games that never even made it out of beta that had more people giving fukk

We'll have to wait and find out for sure.

But like I said and you ignored i wasn't even thinking money wise, but players.

There was nothing else to say once you made that distinction. Player-wise it is a disaster.

Edit: You also introduced the budget variable when you brought up "millions of dollars."

It was sitting at #8 on the best selling games list of 2024 via Circana a few months ago. It's obviously been an underwhelming year, but still..

Yikes.

No wonder Jim Ryan retired

8 years and millions of dollars.

Biggest flop of the generation by a long shot so far

You see how this was the post I was responding to? They brought up budgets. Now go bother somebody else.

All of these games seemed to have performed substantially better on PC than Concord has thus far Is this game charting well on PSN or something?
