One day, when the dust has settled, there will be hundreds of videos talking about Concord’s failure and analyzing the downfall of Concord. Some of those videos will show gameplay as it was; some of those videos will discuss how different characters played. Those videos will be useful for gaming historians, but this video will be of particular interest to them. This video details the trophies and the experience of getting them. It shows a Concord gaming community. It even has an example of how the game could be exploited. It shows the final hours of Concord while a team of players race against Sony’s cruel deadline to achieve platinum. You and your fellow trophy hunters have given a gift to future historians looking into the current biggest flop in video game history. You were robbed but at least some people managed to get the platinum. You deserve a platinum trophy for this video and its potential benefit to video game history.
@@aaronstevens2171 this comment is exactly why I believe that Sony won't cancel this game forever. They know that if they do that, Concord is forever going to be a byword among gamers and industry analysts. They don't want that on their record; and of course people do love a redemption story; so it's for these reasons that I do think that Sony will bring it back
@@Isaacfess you should have tried it out when it came out. It really was a blast to play and it actually worked at launch, they were practically no glitches or bugs and the character roster was extremely balanced in my opinion.. only one character was OP and one underpowered
Hey man, fellow rivalry jumper from PSNP here. I didn't get this platinum either, but it was an honor to attempt with so many crazy mfs. Truthfully a living legend for trying no matter the outcome
I'm not even interested in trophy hunting, but the YT algorithm did a good thing here. This was interesting and I'm sorry that you didn't get the trophy at the end.
If people plays your game just for the challenge to get a Platinum before it shuts down, that should be the clear testament that you failed as a game company
I mean it seems like the game was fine? I'm not a hero-shooter guy so I don't know what they needed to do differently to attract players. The footage looks very comparable to the time I tried out Overwatch, and people loved that one.
@@imperiallarch7610the main difference with overwatch was the characters. They’re all very well designed and in a way cool. While straight away this game had bad character designs
AHAHA I agree, I used Daw’s healing pads to heal myself because no one knew I could support them - if the game comes back free to play hopefully all characters get redesigned
Thank you so much for the comment! Really appreciate you watching noting you’re not a completionist - I try and focus on the narrative of getting the platinum and what the experience was like. Hope to see you in future videos!
Wise opinion. Considering Concord released into a saturated market they needed something to seperate themselves. Releasing with a price tag with limited marketing absolutely doomed it to fail on launch.
You and the gang put more effort into that platinum than I have into anything I’ve done. And damn, did you do great. Some of those characters, at least their playstyles, actually look pretty fun.
I believe it actually went into 3rd party studios bc firewalk's devs were so slow and incompetent that they had to hire other studios to do most of the work. Which causes the bloated budget.
you absolute legend that was the most interesting concord video i ever watched. Soz you got stooged for the platinum trophy... feelsbadbro. but, what an epic run. love the way you shared that story with us. love the content about to go full binge mode on your channel.
They've been pinching this game out of ppl's libraries even though it's unplayable, I don't think anyone's even gonna get to have a dream about playing this again unfortunately. But thanks for making this, this was a really charming little video about a gaming experience that next to no one has had and no one ever will again. Bittersweet :'}
Crazy that they have the power to remove with no permission… thank you for your kind words tho!! In the first act I do harp on a bit but wanted to try and set the full picture knowing it’s very likely no one will experience this game again in future
This is the most gameplay I've seen of this and I've said it before but seeing more of it just confirms to be so much just like This looks EXACTLY like Destiny 2. The abilities, the animations, the environment art, the weapons, it's like Genuinely shocking
There were quite a few destiny devs who worked on Concord, I’ve described it as feeling like Destiny without the ultimate ability (not all characters feel like that but definitely majority)
For sure, although Sony gave a harsh reminder that we truly don’t own our digital games by forcefully uninstalling all Concord games if the PS5 has connection to the internet.
It sucked ass. It was really nothing you wont find better in other games. But that was my opinion only. Just tried the open beta but it was too slow and ugly for my taste
As a fellow achievement/trophy hunter I know all too well about buckling down and getting unhealthy amounts of play time and sleep in. I would only want to see this game come back just so you had a shot at getting the platinum.
Thank you so very much, really appreciate it! I do indeed, I copy over my script into TH-cam’s auto-align feature - it’s not 100% accurate as I might say the odd word that I didn’t script but nothing that would take away from the narrative or experience I don’t think - let me know if there’s any issues
@@Norenity It is fine, was just wondering as being in Scotland I speak faster and more high pitched so I would need subtitles when I am speaking lol but your voice is perfect for listening to if you know what I mean. I hope your channel picks up now its getting on the algorithm. CHEERS Ian. :-)
I was literally thinking 'squishy melee assassin' when you showed the character design and i thought they were gonna turn out to be something completely different to that given what you said lol
Tbh, the gameplay doesn't look THAT bad. Fix the awful character designs, create some fun and unique game modes, make the game f2p and they are good to go.
@@Norenity Yes, to me that's overwatch's biggest drawback. I always hated that about Overwatch: that the game ultimately revolves around setting up ult combos. Feels like the rest of it is just busy work, when you're just charging up the ults.
Me too! I hope it comes back in some shape or form in the not too distant future … Thanks so much for watching, let me know what you think at the end !
@@Norenity maybe next time they will have characters that people actually want to play. playing as a trash can or a football water/gaterade dispenser or a whale isnt the way
There’s an alternate universe where it could go free to play, noting the director of Concord stood down couple of weeks ago it’s looking less and less likely we will see this again
I hope they re release it as free to play. The color pallet could be better but the mechanics dont seem egregious. I liked overwatch when it came out, but i hate chasing metas.
You know, if this game wasn't destroyed by everything else, mechanically it looks sound. A hero shooter with that Destiny/Halo feel doesn't look all that bad, even if the hero shooter genre is over-saturated.
@@Norenity Legit, if the art wasn't incredibly mediocre, and the weird DEI stuff wasn't getting pushed, and this shit was F2P, it probably could have been a marginal success. Weird how they dumped so much money and dev hours into cinematics in a multiplayer shooter. Whoever was overseeing this project is almost certainly out of a job. I think a lot of it has to do with Sony unifying/moving to California..
Mechanics don't sell, I've learned. As a massive SoulCalibur V fan, I can tell you the mechanical feels of it is immaculate. But they screwed the pooch on roster cuts (and roster changes to some degree, but the replacements are largely fine) , story, and single player content in general, so it gets bullied and called the worst in the franchise and cursed. For a fighting game, I can still enjoy it because mechanics are everything, but other people couldn't forgive it's mistakes let alone Concord's
I will say, the UI art in this game looks really nice tbh. Probably the only aspect of the damn game where sweet baby inc. didn't fuck things up, but hey, it's something at least lol.
@@Norenity Oh yep! I do appreciate those cool little immersive touches. (Also ayo destiny mentioned, good taste) Kinda sad that you can see that the devs who worked on the game weren't incompetent, there's a bunch of cool details here and there. I remember seeing even a dev who worked on the character design posting a concept art image of how one of the character was supposed to look years ago, and it was actually half-decent. I guess we have the higher-ups to thank for wasting the time of talented and skilled devs on generic hero shooter #2593, unfortunately. And for pivoting the character art direction to what it became.
Very much agree, I hold hope that the game can at least comeback F2P to enable a chance at redemption. With every day that passes with no news I feel that hope slowly fade away
An odd question, why even have a platinum that you can get from day one. This was a live service, there should have been ones that were time-gated, like view all season 1 videos.
It’s a good question, games like overwatch have done well to keep the completionists coming back by consistently adding in trophies for new characters. From Concord’s trophy list being so boring I’m not surprised we didn’t see one that was creative like what you’re suggesting.
One thing that stood out to me was how completely uninspired the trophies were. Unless I missed some, it seems literally every one was "get to this number of thing by grinding". Nothing fun or slightly interesting like a long-range kill, a clutch kill with 1 HP, getting a big comeback win or anything else that took me a minute to think up. Kind of sums up the entire paint-by-numbers theme of game; just nothing interesting. (As such, thanks for cutting out most of the character grinding, making the video still good to watch).
It was really boring writing about the trophy list ahahaha - glad you picked up on the same vibes I had! That’s one thing I like about Overwatch’s trophies, they’re all quite unique and relevant to the character.
I had legitimately NO IDEA this game existed until it was getting shut down. I saw no marketing ANYWHERE. $400 million and they spent approximately $2.50 on a bus stop advertisement in Lebanon I guess. 🤷🏼♂️
With the studio getting shut down, I sadly don't see this game getting a free-to-play re-release any time soon. Maybe some day, someone will get all the assets off the PS5 and rebuild the game from the ground up, who knows.
I think Concord will definitely get released again, however they nees to add new gameplay elements, change the characters to make em look appealing and make it free with microtransactions
Yeah idc what anyone says about this game.. it was a good game. Yes the character design was bad lacking but underneath it was the skeleton of a great PVP title
I agree, it was refreshing to have a somewhat balanced hero shooter game - just needs further investment to refine the design and flesh out modes I.e ranked
@@Norenity Not sure if you are just good and made it seem actually fun-ish. Like it's not that bad. TotallynotSoldier and especially TotallynotDrax seems fun. Being able to charge in and smash poor saps in the face instead of having your powerbudget shared to be a teamshield as Reinhardt reminds me of OG OW S1.
Hehehe totally! There’s certainly an element where I would deliberately show the good clips but the core mechanics felt good, just needs to have a differential in the visuals department.
Yes it did! I'm sorry about your trophy. The funny thing about me not hearing about this game is that I'm a Sony fanboy in addition to being a Warhammer Dwarf. Did they want this game to fail?
okay not sure if it's your editing but the gameplay does actually look fun! if the game had been put on ps4 and released for free using overwatch 2's style of monitization i probably would have given it a play
@@Norenity it wouldn't be the first time that a game company switched a game to f2p and had it succeed. swtor pull that trick and it worked out. also i've seen a lot of hate for the game's character designs but looking at it's concept art and the designs are much more awesome than what was implimented i am guessing due to hardware limiations or some other factor
At this point Concord just seems like either a money laundering or embezzlement game, how in the heck do you throw $400 million and end up with that's just a downgraded Overwatch recolor
the concord saga is still so baffling and intriguing lol, the fact that the game couldnt sell for shit until it was announced the servers were shutting down then suddenly physical copies just skyrocketed in value
Hopefully you can get it once the game goes free to play (if it does, but i'd expect them to at least try that). I really don't get Sony's business decisions. They'll spend so much money to make a game that's going to release in an oversaturated market, at a $40 price tag while the competitors are free to play (and that price tag also means a monthly PS+ subscription is required on console, discouraging anyone who mainly plays this genre of games from even giving it a try since they likely wouldn't already have PS+ when they're playing free to play games with free MP), and when the competitors are on more platforms... But they won't go back to their old IP with actually unique games, and high profit potential, such as LittleBigPlanet, where they wouldn't have any competition and already had a good monetization system in place that people actually liked.
One day, when the dust has settled, there will be hundreds of videos talking about Concord’s failure and analyzing the downfall of Concord. Some of those videos will show gameplay as it was; some of those videos will discuss how different characters played.

PINNED COMMENT 🔥
@@aaronstevens2171 this comment is exactly why I believe that Sony won't cancel this game forever.

They don't want that on their record; and of course people do love a redemption story; so it's for these reasons that I do think that Sony will bring it back
Will definitely be interesting to see how it plays out, could be an amazing comeback story or it could be another example of cost sunk fallacy
This video honestly made me want to try the game out. Having a good community like the people featured in this is something all games need.
@@Isaacfess you should have tried it out when it came out. It really was a blast to play and it actually worked at launch, they were practically no glitches or bugs and the character roster was extremely balanced in my opinion.. only one character was OP and one underpowered
This video will have more views than people who played Concord.
Brilliant comment ahaha
its crazy that it's actually true. and it didnt even cost 400 000 dollars
Yeah but that’s not hard to do
@@CODBlackOps6WALKTHROUGH Missed a couple 0s there 💀
@@CODBlackOps6WALKTHROUGH That's 400,000,000 although those numbers are still speculative.
With all of the grinding you did in the competitive mode you’re probably one of the best Concord players in the world now. That’s kinda neat.
Definitely top 5000 (I think that’s the total players) 🤣
Or sad he bought this
@@nicknevco215 it can be both!
They did you dirty at the end there
So dirty! We were praying for a double xp day or extra time before shutdown which sadly never came
@@Norenity these people can't even get a proper closure for their game
Very true 😂 I was in disbelief that they pulled the plug with 72 hours notice … glad everyone at least was able to get a refund
Hey man, fellow rivalry jumper from PSNP here. I didn't get this platinum either, but it was an honor to attempt with so many crazy mfs. Truthfully a living legend for trying no matter the outcome
It was an honour jumping with you as well 🫡 We’re all living legends for even buying the game!

Thank you! Really appreciate it :))

AHAHA I agree, I used Daw’s healing pads to heal myself because no one knew I could support them - if the game comes back free to play hopefully all characters get redesigned
This is the most interesting thing that came out of Concord
I have no idea why your video was recommended to me because im far from a completionist. But my god what a good story man. Sorry you couldnt get it.
Thank you so much for the comment! Really appreciate you watching noting you’re not a completionist - I try and focus on the narrative of getting the platinum and what the experience was like. Hope to see you in future videos!
I'm not a completionism either lol.
The ending 💀I feel for you man
Was brutal but thankfully there’s always hope!
I swear this whole story had more emotional highs and lows than some movies, you truly are a man of dedication and sheer fucking will
Thank you so much!! I hope to try and keep getting better with each video and continuing to learn !
This was great quality with a gut wrenching punch at the end. Absolute CINEMA!!
Thank you so much for your kind words - I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hope to keep bringing the same energy for future videos.
Personal opinion. If you spend more than 100 million developing the game, it deserves to fail for gross negligence
Wise opinion. Considering Concord released into a saturated market they needed something to seperate themselves. Releasing with a price tag with limited marketing absolutely doomed it to fail on launch.
I assume many like myself had never even heard of the game until it had been cancelled
@Abfflglakfbfisosb indeed, maybe with the cancellation it’s one big marketing trick for it to comeback free to play with all this free marketing 😂
Wasn't that Baldur's Gate 3's budget?
@nwahnerevar9398 you are correct!
Can’t believe how invested I got into that
Bless, thank you! Oxygen-5 appears in my dreams from now on
I would never admit to platinum'ing this game. Just having it in my library would be a scarlet letter.
Damn … I respect it but damn …
You and the gang put more effort into that platinum than I have into anything I’ve done. And damn, did you do great. Some of those characters, at least their playstyles, actually look pretty fun.
Thank you!! I certainly did have fun (at times) playing the game regularly, well worth a try if it was F2P - seems less and less likely every day
400 million, I assume most of those going to the weekly animation that we will never see, concord lost media is more interesting than the game itself
10000% going to super fascinating what is revealed in the future
It's never going to be revealed
I believe it actually went into 3rd party studios bc firewalk's devs were so slow and incompetent that they had to hire other studios to do most of the work. Which causes the bloated budget.
@Electronica27 interesting - thanks for the info!
Firewalk should gift all the Platinum players a shirt that just says "I got Platinum Trophy on Concord and all I Got Was This Lousy Shirt."
That’d probably cost them 10 million for 69 shirts 😂
Just remember that a house fly lives a longer lifespan than Concord did. Really let that sink in.
That’s unreal …
Dude this video is awesome, I didn't realize you were a smaller channel. I hope this blows up.

Thank you Sir! Hoping to see your videos make a return soon 🔥
Wild how fast the servers got shut down on this game...this video did well at showing us what a struggle the race to platinum was.

Support physical media, and never forgive PC players for abandoning it
God i wouldnt even look at this game let alone get all the achievements for it
Very fair! Only 69 people managed to get the platinum for this game, my hat is off to all those legends

I'm not sure what's more impressive - getting the trophies, or being able to recognise and name the other characters.
If it wasn’t for the trophy names I would’ve been so lost ahahaha
What a mad lad's journey. Kudos

Might have to wait until Concord 2 releases … currently the servers are maxed out
What’s the music at 9:47? It sounds incredibly familiar, but I can’t quite remember the name
Guardian of the Former Seas by DM Dokuro - he composed almost all the tracks in the calamity mod for terraria
I would’ve stayed up for the chance of unlocking the last trophy
I certainly tried, unfortunately for many people it wasn’t possible to put in 100 hours and condense to 72 hours
youtube is so late. by the time this video get recommended to me, concord lifespan is already shorter than the time its uploaded
The algorithm with another banger

Very much agree, I hold hope that the game can at least comeback F2P to enable a chance at redemption. With every day that passes with no news I feel that hope slowly fade away
3:35 WOW were they actually serious with that movement speed?. geeze i got whiplash man, holy shit. Uhg man, thats nauseatingly slow.
They were at least accurate in providing a Roomba simulator 😭
An odd question, why even have a platinum that you can get from day one. This was a live service, there should have been ones that were time-gated, like view all season 1 videos.
It’s a good question, games like overwatch have done well to keep the completionists coming back by consistently adding in trophies for new characters. From Concord’s trophy list being so boring I’m not surprised we didn’t see one that was creative like what you’re suggesting.
Dude I was late to this one
Glad you were able to come back!
One thing that stood out to me was how completely uninspired the trophies were. Unless I missed some, it seems literally every one was "get to this number of thing by grinding". Nothing fun or slightly interesting like a long-range kill, a clutch kill with 1 HP, getting a big comeback win or anything else that took me a minute to think up.
Kind of sums up the entire paint-by-numbers theme of game; just nothing interesting.
(As such, thanks for cutting out most of the character grinding, making the video still good to watch).
It was really boring writing about the trophy list ahahaha - glad you picked up on the same vibes I had! That’s one thing I like about Overwatch’s trophies, they’re all quite unique and relevant to the character.
waiting on concord 2 😩❤
Gaming will change forever when Concord 2 drops 😮💨
Never thought getting plat in Concord would be one of the rarest achievements. Go figure.
Indeed! It’s a real credit to the community that 69 people who platinum’d the game have made it a 4.03% rarity
13:50 i would probably say Genji playstyle, and i would be wrong. Playstation deserved this L
You were definitely closer than me!! I absolutely agree tho
It seems like a good chunk of the music in this video is Terraria’s Calamity mod music by DM Dokuro
Well spotted! (I love Terraria)
I had legitimately NO IDEA this game existed until it was getting shut down. I saw no marketing ANYWHERE. $400 million and they spent approximately $2.50 on a bus stop advertisement in Lebanon I guess. 🤷🏼♂️
It wasn't the $40 price tag. The game couldn't even reach 3k players on Steam on the open beta weekend when it was FREE.
This is true! Unfortunately the game just didn’t provide any reason for people to try the game over it’s competitors
With the studio getting shut down, I sadly don't see this game getting a free-to-play re-release any time soon.
Maybe some day, someone will get all the assets off the PS5 and rebuild the game from the ground up, who knows.
I agree sadly, with PlayStation’s post it seemed to me that Concord will never see the light of day again :(
I think Concord will definitely get released again, however they nees to add new gameplay elements, change the characters to make em look appealing and make it free with microtransactions
I’m definitely hoping!
Yeah idc what anyone says about this game.. it was a good game. Yes the character design was bad lacking but underneath it was the skeleton of a great PVP title
I agree, it was refreshing to have a somewhat balanced hero shooter game - just needs further investment to refine the design and flesh out modes I.e ranked
@@Norenity Not sure if you are just good and made it seem actually fun-ish.
Like it's not that bad.
TotallynotSoldier and especially TotallynotDrax seems fun.
Being able to charge in and smash poor saps in the face instead of having your powerbudget shared to be a teamshield as Reinhardt reminds me of OG OW S1.
Hehehe totally! There’s certainly an element where I would deliberately show the good clips but the core mechanics felt good, just needs to have a differential in the visuals department.
Honestly the game doesn’t look that bad its funny how it shut down so fast
For sure a historical failure. Not the quickest shutdown but would have to be the fastest shutdown with this much investment.
I pray for your mental health.
No one should have to play Concord.
Hehehe thank you!! Thankfully all recovered now
25:11 did it really took you 3 entire magazines and 3 grenades to kill ONE GUY!?
Yeppppp … i really did not enjoy Teo, his weapon felt very similar to Kyps
IT WAS SOOO CLOSE ;-;
SO CLOSE BUT YET SO FAR
Giant purple hair fro assassin is most stealthy assassin
Oh absolutely, I heard it’s going to be new DLC in Hitman 3
I never even heard of this game until I read about how it was shutting down. Hero shooters are not my thing and I would not have bought it anyway.
Very fair! Hope this video helped give you the experience of what it was like
Yes it did! I'm sorry about your trophy.
The funny thing about me not hearing about this game is that I'm a Sony fanboy in addition to being a Warhammer Dwarf. Did they want this game to fail?
That’s all good! I’m surprised a lot of people only found out about the game when it was shutting down, just shows how woeful the marketing was
It was never really ABOUT the gears.
okay not sure if it's your editing but the gameplay does actually look fun! if the game had been put on ps4 and released for free using overwatch 2's style of monitization i probably would have given it a play
I wish they would’ve tried F2P just to enable people a try like what you have said. I did very much cherry pick good clips I got for content reasons.
@@Norenity it wouldn't be the first time that a game company switched a game to f2p and had it succeed. swtor pull that trick and it worked out. also i've seen a lot of hate for the game's character designs but looking at it's concept art and the designs are much more awesome than what was implimented i am guessing due to hardware limiations or some other factor
At this point Concord just seems like either a money laundering or embezzlement game, how in the heck do you throw $400 million and end up with that's just a downgraded Overwatch recolor
You Sir have asked the $400 million dollar question 🤣
$200m for the higher ups, $100 m for marketing, cinematics, $95m for the DEI 'consultants' KEK.
@tyranidswarmlord9722 💰
14:40 You are an embarrassment to spies everywhere.
🤣 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?
the concord saga is still so baffling and intriguing lol, the fact that the game couldnt sell for shit until it was announced the servers were shutting down then suddenly physical copies just skyrocketed in value
Scalpers went CRAZY - I’m glad I didn’t return my physical copy
Hopefully you can get it once the game goes free to play (if it does, but i'd expect them to at least try that).
I really don't get Sony's business decisions. They'll spend so much money to make a game that's going to release in an oversaturated market, at a $40 price tag while the competitors are free to play (and that price tag also means a monthly PS+ subscription is required on console, discouraging anyone who mainly plays this genre of games from even giving it a try since they likely wouldn't already have PS+ when they're playing free to play games with free MP), and when the competitors are on more platforms...
But they won't go back to their old IP with actually unique games, and high profit potential, such as LittleBigPlanet, where they wouldn't have any competition and already had a good monetization system in place that people actually liked.
I thought they would definitely try a free to play model! Turns out it has been officially announced that it will remain shutdown permanently.
They refunded everyone, its definitlwy coming back as a free to play. Youll get that platinum one day
Fingers crossed!
