GTA:SA Carl Johnson: "Ah shit, here we go again."
Oh, another Ubishit flop? Finally some good news.
Ubisoft used to be amazing before they turned into Ubishit. Their greed, incompetence, and treatment towards their employees is unacceptable. All these grindy, filler, padded, micro-trash-action filled disasters can go to hell, let them suffer the consequences of their actions.
Now this is one Concord(ia) I can get behind. Love this series!
Killing yourself for a virtual worthless trinket, in one of the biggest flops in recent memory. A fitting end, indeed.
The Concord physical discs are probably going to go up in price for stupid collector's who enjoy wasting their money on useless plastic.
Jim Ryan walked away before disaster struck. Herman Hulst has to pick up the pieces and deal with the problems.
Let's hope he takes PlayStation back to an earlier time before all this live service obsession took over the industry.
I have my copy of Astro Bot pre-ordered! Many of the Sony Japan Team moved over to Team Asobi, so its my dream that they make Ape Escape 4 next, despite the fact that I was told there isn't a fan base for those types of games anymore, its very clearly obvious there's no more room for new live service hero shooters either, and a single player platformer sure as heck is a superior investment than Concord was.
I was told that there wasn't enough of a player base for single player platformer games, and that this game was a better investment than Ape Escape 4. How could I be lied to like that?!
Let's see those Astro Bot sales, and find out who was right in the end.
Data caps, not owning your games, they can be delisted (and relisted) at any time, internet going down, inherent lag (there will always be some), and not being able to use your internet for anything while streaming is a poor combination.
Would I play streaming games for free? Yes, I played games on PS Now, Stadia, and XCloud for free during their beta periods. Sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't.
Would I pay to stream games? Absolutely not! I...
Yet I was told that this game was a better investment than Ape Escape 4, and that there aren't enough fans of platforming games on PlayStation these days.
Insane gibberish some will spout out. 😂
Looking forward to seeing Astro Bot selling well soon enough.
Succeed or not, Ubishit isn't getting my money, the last thing I bought from them was Scott Pilgrim vs. The World for PS4, and before that was Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Their games have grown stale, there's too much filler, and not enough quality moments, a lot of busy work, and trash man side job of collecting endless crap off the ground. What a shame, it didn't have to be this way.
I may start doing that, sort of.
I own two PS5 consoles, though I don't actually use them yet, I'm keeping them on very low firmware, I kept them this way believing there would be a software mod, and it turned out there is one (I haven't done it yet).
I'll be buying PS5 Pro, and using that for playing official games and keeping it up to date.
I don't mind doing the same thing again with PS6 / PS6 Pro, my backlog of g...
Work with Platinum to make Rising 2 or Rising Prequel with Jetstream Sam. 😁
How awful. What should have been a moment of celebration for the dev team, turned into an terrible day for them.
"The game that you spent years of your life on is finally out for people to enjoy! ALSO YOU'RE ALL FIRED!"
F you NetEase. I'll only remember your company name so that I can avoid it in the future. Hopefully S-E hires the these talented people and gives them more games to work on.
Have the sequel be VR compatible, Astro on PSVR1 is fantastic.
Actually Sonic Origins Plus is the exact same game as Sonic Origins (which was digital only) but on physical media. Sega added "Plus" on the sticker label on Switch carts, and disc label on PlayStation blu-rays, but the game is the same. They come with a code to unlock the extra content, and patches fix the bugs from the initial release. Sega pulled a Sega.
Here's some people talking about it.

Just a reminder:
Ubishit's apology is FAKE. They don't give a shit if you're unhappy or experience problems. They will continue to release broken unfinished games year after year. The people who support them are part of the problem, they keep rewarding Ubishit's trash games and awful business practices. The people who bought this trash are just as much to blame for these unfinished games as the executives are.
Its true that live service games that hit it big, such as Fortnite, Apex Legends, Rocket League, GTA V online can rake in the big bucks.
But there's only so many dumb whales to milk, there's only so many hours in the day to play, and there's only so many live service games that can hit it big. There's huge risks but also huge rewards.
Concord entered a crowded hero shooter market, they really should have known better.
It'll probably happen, but given their terrible track record, it's going to be a rushed sloppy port.
I can see it now, half the fans will make excuses for Konami ("I'm just happy to play the game, even though its worse than the original release.")
Then the other half will complain about the substandard port. The MGS fan base will go back and forth arguing about it for days, if not years. When all of it could have been avoided if Kona...
Excellent timing, Sony needs another hero shooter after Concord's amazing success story!
