You can FEEL someone in upper management or a Sony executive kept pushing for Kyps to have a human face, even the final design has softer features with a new nose and LIP FILLER?? Concord's obsession with faces even when some characters shouldn't have one is baffling.

A YTP of cutscenes from the video game Concord by Firewalk studios, as well as some of its promotional material.

Very late to the party on this one, that's what I get for procrastinating on this YTP for nearly a year.

Full video with captions here!

Thanks <3

so like. at what point are we going to stop listening to game companies saying "the game was poorly received and didn't meet our sales targets, and that's why we're removing it from storefronts and taking down all the servers mere months or even weeks after release" for titles that had a long expensive development, were barely marketed, and nobody knew they'd even released until after they heard they were getting shut down and couldn't be played/purchased anymore?

I feel like the prevailing takeaway for anyone who doesn't just conclude "yeah, game was pretty mid, makes sense to me" has usually been "this company just has unreasonably impossible sales expectations and treats every project like a failure if it doesn't print a trillion dollars". but these ARE allegedly experienced business execs who aren't complete idiots, and after this most recent debacle with Concord I'm starting to wonder if a bunch of these "games getting wiped out of existence when they underperform instead of just being allowed to persist as they are and maybe improve with time" cases in recent years might be more of a Warner-Discovery type situation, like nuking an entire animated series or film that was worked on for years and preventing it from being sold because it has to be officially unprofitable for the company to use it as a tax write-off. I look at a game that was worked on for 8 years and only made available for 2 weeks, and it's hard not to see the parallels.

great work, AAA games industry, really normal and sustainable stuff you're doing over there as usual

Concord, Sony’s latest hero shooter that took 8 years to develop, has shut down after launching two weeks ago with refunds being offered.

Hero shooter genre was oversaturated years ago, Concord should never have taken 8 years to develop. I feel for the devs who poured their hearts into this. This is the fault of a group of executives who put ‘money earning’ live-service above all else.

"Listen, my children, and you shall hear…" 🏇

On the night of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere rode through the Massachusetts countryside to warn patriots of the approaching British forces. His ride helped ignite the Revolutionary War.

But Revere didn't ride alone. William Dawes and Samuel Prescott were also crucial messengers that night. Their coordinated efforts alerted militias before the battles of Lexington and Concord.

The National Archives holds powerful visual records of this moment in history, including art and documents that tell the full story of Revere's mission. Explore the ride's legacy in this curated photo set: https://www.archives.gov/research/military/american-revolution/pictures

happy deathday to cloncord or whatever

[Video ID: Spoofs of the logo for Firewalk Studios' Concord appear over starry backdrops as pitch-distorted versions of the theme stinger play underneath. The emblem is distorted in assorted ways which are mostly random but sometimes related to the text. The starry backdrop changes color but is most often red or purple. In order: Corcnord, Condord (accompanied above by a cropped post from @hollowtones which reads "Im for the new game Im" - the emblem is filled with a content-aware-scaled image of Lennox's face), Cooldood, Doodoocon, Noc Noc (the emblem is filled with a wood texture), Connor 'N' Don, Corn'd (the emblem is colored to resemble a corn cob in a husk), Dr Coocoo, Dronc (the emblem's shapes are uneven), Rod 'N' Cone (the emblem resembles an eyeball), Corner Donor (the emblem consists only of triangles), Coco From Flight of the Conchords (the emblem is a parallelogram filled with an image of Sutton Foster in her role as the aforementioned character), Nod Now, a tiny clip of The Captain saying "No.", Coward (the emblem resembles an angry face), Noice Crocs, Discord (the emblem resembles the Discord logo), Noo-Noo-Core (the emblem resembles Noo-Noo the vacuum cleaner from Teletubbies), LOL U Dorc, Nood C*c (the emblem is a fleshy color and is pixelated along with a letter in the text. The video is superimposed with a close-up of Teo making a smug expression which quickly gets more content-aware-scale distorted), a tiny clip of The Captain saying "No.", then the final logo spoof simply reads No. /End ID]
