Concord

N-am putut sa ma abtin. E chiar funny.

Asta i-ar fi costat in continuare bani - servere, oameni care sa-l tina in viata (chit ca pui un skeleton crew, tot tii niste oameni blocati pe ceva ce nu functioneaza), etc.

Asa stau si tot nu incaseaza nimic. Primeau feedback de la multa lume macar.

E primul si singurul lor joc. Din 2018 in development (nu stim cati angajati/an au fost, probabil doar in ultimii 3 a fost munca intensa, de cand au facut parteneriatul cu PlayStation in 2021, apoi cumparati in 2023). Face parte din strategia GaaS prezentata in 2022 cand au cumparat Bungie:

“Through close collaboration between Bungie and PlayStation Studios we aim to launch more than 10 live service games by the fiscal year ending March 2026.”

Ryan a plecat, dar au ramas Totoki si Hulst. Probabil vor revizui strategia.

E urât că s-a ajuns aici și îmi pare rău de timpul pierdut al developerilor, dar cred că e cel mai bun lucru care se putea întâmpla.
Au nevoie de câteva eșecuri imense ca să se trezească din goana după următorul Fortnite.
Parcă e poezie cum un joc ca Wukong bate recordurile în timp ce live-service-urile eșuează.

I spoke extensively with someone who worked on Concord, and it's so much worse than you think. It was internally referred to as "The Future of PlayStation" with Star Wars-like potential, and a dev culture of "toxic positivity" halted any negative feedback. Making it cost $400m.

Situatia aparent a fost mult,mult mai rea.Jocul pana sa ii cumpere Sony avea deja buget bagat in el de 200M$,iar dupa achizitionarea Firewalk,Sony a mai bagat in joc inca 200M $ facand-ul cel mai scump joc 1st party si in acelasi timp.. cea mai mare gaura.

Ah Firewalk, acest Robin Hood al jocurilor video. A luat $400M de la investitori bogati si i-a distribuit la niste angajati care nu au facut nimic. Nu vi se pare si voua minunat?

$400 milioane e de neinteles. Zicea Sony ca jocurile single-player, cum e TLOU, sunt scumpe, dar acolo ai vanzari. Un joc multiplayer e riscant, hit or miss.

Concord game director Ryan Ellis has reportedly stepped down from his position at Firewalk Studios, according to Kotaku.

Sources told the publication that Ellis announced he'd be moving to a support role within the studio after the AA shooter was pulled from sale less than two weeks after its release on August 23.

Au bagat 400 de milioane de $ cu gandul o sa scoata poate miliarde in microtranzactii, vor si ei un joc ca Fortnite, Genshin Impact, League of Legends unde ai incasari mari in ficare luna la nesfarsit.

Sony inchide Firewalk Studios:

Regarding Firewalk, as announced in early September (An Important Update on Concord), certain aspects of Concord were exceptional, but others did not land with enough players, and as a result we took the game offline. We have spent considerable time these past few months exploring all our options.

After much thought, we have determined the best path forward is to permanently sunset the game and close the studio.   I want to thank all of Firewalk for their craftsmanship, creative spirit and dedication.
