    Guys remember that Sony basically closed down Japan Studio in 2021 because they weren't "being profitable enough"
    The studio that was with them for 3 decades and helped make Bloodborne among many many many other games- so many games in fact that on Wikipedia, they are put into individual lists BY YEAR in some cases
    But Concord gets to literally burn hundreds of millions of dollars for nothing

    5:09 What's funny is that Concord WASN'T announced three months ago. It was announced LAST YEAR, and everyone forgets because the trailer was a boring-ass CG movie showing NOTHING but the interior of a ship and the game's name and logo. Totally contextless. It has like a 90% dislike rate on TH-cam. The writing was on the wall for a year.

      The game also had a Closed Beta some months back. The number of people playing it was so abysmally low that they made it Public for anyone to play. On Steam it then jumped up to about 2,300 players... for a single day... before immediately nosediving back down to the low hundreds. Even when people got to try the game for free they didn't want it

  • @NameIsDoc
    @NameIsDoc 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +90

    I was professor I've taught previsualization and concept art
    These characters are the quintessential examples of horrible character design. They have failed every single major design checkbox. Normally you can skip one or two if you hit the others but they missed them all
    Silhouettes - hard to read absolutely essential in hero shooters
    Tone map - almost all the characters do not have distinct tones isolated this makes it again hard to read. They just are a blob of bright tones
    Intensity maps - every single character has bright saturated colors or they are a Grey beage
    Color schemes- almost all characters have horrible color schemes. I mean one character has white brown orange green and cyan. All but brown and white are super saturated and they are so distracting
    Big medium small - all the characters have extreme details all over their character which breaks this rule making them noisey and not leading the eye.
    To give an example of good tracer from overwatch
    Traycer has a distinctive outline where the majority of her body is legs and the rest is a thin frame.
    Tracer has 4 colors yellow brown orange and cyan
    The cyan is located in the center of her chest outlined with small white details. Surrounding the saturated cyan and white is a dark desaturated warm brown with white cuffs. The rest of her body is in a orange body suit that gradients to yellow at her feet. With white runner shoes.
    Most of the detail is focused at her head and torso despite it's size while the legs being the largest part of her get little detail beyond a bright color.
    The contrast in tone tempature and color at the chest make you pay attention to the upper body where the weapons are but the bright legs emphasize speed.

    Eight years to make. There's a really neat comparison currently, and that's Satisfactory. It also took 8 years to make, full release from early access is in 5 days on the 10th, and people are hyped for this game that is in a fairly niche category of factory builders.

    • @chuckles471

      It took 4 years actual development time. The 8 years thing, was a dev saying a pretentious thing, that moment the idea is in someones' head it is in development. Even if you put the maximum amount of time possible, it could have only been 6, as that is how long the studio has existed for.
      The main creator of Concord was the game director of Destiny 2 in 2016 and he worked on the game to release at the end of 2017. The other founder in 2016 was 2 years away from saying "do you guys not have phones".

    Pat is wrong about their never being a place in the market for Virtua Fighter. Virtua Fighter in the arcades is the second biggest fighting game money maker behind only Street Fighter 2 series. Virtua Fighter, at least the first three games, was huge. It’s fallen into being niche just like Street Fighter did, and that’s probably because of how Sega has done not much of anything with the series in around 20 years, but there was a time it was one of the biggest games around.
    I’d also say the fighting game market is largely not served. There hasn’t been a game that plays like Marvel vs Capcom since Infinite came out in 2017, and Capcom’s Marvel fighting games were the biggest fighting games in arcades from like ‘95 to 2000s. Even if you say DBFZ, (which was hugely successful, more so than Tekken 7) that came out six years ago, and Super Baby 2 (the final character of it’s final season of DLC) came out three years ago. Even stuff that doesn’t really get though of as fighting games, like AKI style wrestling games, and stuff that spun out of that style like Fight for NY and Urban Reign... there’s nothing like those anymore, and those wrestling games were huge with more casual audiences. There’s a giant market of people that played AKI games like crazy that’s just been untapped since the Xbox and PS2 era. The fighting game market is more untapped now than it was during the mid 2000s.

      My Dead mMO game is something called Galactic Junk League. Was there when it was Beta and HORRIBLY balanced. Took too long to get out of being a rookie basically to get into a class (which might have promoted some counterplay). And when they finally did, it was good for a while, but it just dragged on and on with no real updates and eventually left. Managed to pop my head back in when they had added AI bots announced they were shutting down. It was sad to see what it had become, but for a while it was my SHIT. Managed to rack up 131 hours according to steam. Hell if there was an offline mode with just bots I might pop my head in from time to time.

    The interesting thing I noticed about the competition that Overwatch began is that, similar to fighting games, a lot of games started working _around_ Overwatch rather than trying to compete against it directly. Apex Legends is Overwatch, but a Battle Royale game. Valorant is Overwatch, but it's CS:GO. I can't imagine a timeline where Concord, in the state that it is in today, came out 2 or 3 years after OW with the intent of being its direct competitor.

    The fact that it was a sudden release definitely didn't help it as Pat said. I'm an advocate for the idea that games should have ONE announcement trailer near the start of development, and then any additional marketing should be near release. The announcement trailer gives people a general idea of what you are trying to do and can decide if it's something the industry can support right now and then the marketing near release actually gets people on screens trying to buy/play the game. Right now we live in a moment in which either studios will have hardly any marketing, such as this, or will MASSIVELY overmarket and as such will overhype the game (this is an issue we can kind of see with Cyberpunk during the bulk of the development). Just as no attraction can kill a game, so can generating too much hype and falling below expectations.

    There’s no reason Concord should’ve taken 8 years to develop. I guarantee Marvel Rivals wasn’t in development for no eight years and that game came along and killed Concord in the beta phase. Eight years of active development for what looks like a pretty straight forward take on Overwatch is insane. Imagine if Capcom (or anyone) just made a game of The Merchandise mode and they were like: Yeah, we spent 8 years making this...plus a couple more just doing design work. Even if the character models all looked super duper realistic and nice from a graphical point of view that shouldn’t take eight years, there’s realistic looking games that take less than have that time to develop and those games aren’t just PvP shooters.
    Apparently this game was in development for 10 years, so it started development when the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie came out, and they too so long that Gunn made two more Guardians of the Galaxy movies in the meantime; and that’s with him getting fired for a bit and doing The Suicide Squad before returning for his final third GotG movie. They took so long to make their Guardians of the Galaxy inspired game that an actual Guardians of the Galaxy game started development and was released while they were working on Concord. ent for 10 years, so it started development when the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie came out, and they too so long that Gunn made two more Guardians of the Galaxy movies in the meantime; and that’s with him getting fired for a bit and doing The Suicide Squad before returning for his final third GotG movie.

    The "flawed and incomplete games used to start franchises that persist to this day, like Assassin's Creed" thing is pretty apples-and-oranges because it's a single-player example versus a live service team-based multiplayer one. That's two independent layers of all-or-nothing. I think we still get a bunch of games a year that aren't riding any particular zeitgeist and could come out any year, but are successful enough to form new genres or spawn imitators. It's just that they're SP, practically SP like battle royales, or small group cooperative/creative. The call over to the MMO world is insightful; there's no room at the top in multiplayer, and exponential feedback cuts both ways.
