Concord: A Post-Post-Mortem
Just a few hours after I wrote that Concord wasn’t dead yet, Sony killed it. I guess that’s a lesson to us all. You can no longer buy it. Servers will be shut off tomorrow. After eight years of development, the game lasted about a fortnight. Its director said that it will be back after the development team “explore options, including those that will better reach our players”. If you heard “free-to-play model” then you won’t be alone. And yet…

Concord: A Post-Mortem
Within hours of release, PlayStation’s Concord was labelled a failure of the highest magnitude. Analysts have suggested sales could be sitting at around 25,000 on console. Steam sales are behind that. And man, people are loving it. Endless analysis from people without the information needed to give it and, huh, surprise of surprises, the analysis all points to exactly what their opinion on the situation is. Sony is focussing too much on GAAS, and this is their punishment. The marketing…

Are Sub Services Dying?
Game Pass is getting restructured. First party games are leaving PlayStation Plus, and there’s no evidence they’re coming back. The grand experiment is over, and it looks like the glory days are gone. It was supposed to be a shake up on an industry that desperately needed shaking up. The traditional model of paying increasingly high amounts for increasingly safe and padded out video games was starting to feel hard to justify. Many of us were paying pennies for most…

Red Dead’s PC Redemption
Red Dead Redemption never officially came to PC. So it’s unusual that the PlayStation Store is currently announcing that it will be making the jump. Yes, you read that right. The PS4 version of Red Dead Redemption was given PC-centric copy for a while there on the store. I just wish I could say that it wasn’t a moment too late. It would be hypocritical of me to grumble too much about the original PS3 classic getting a release on…

Releases are becoming fewer, and developers are playing it absolutely safe. And yet the answer is right under our noses: Fortnite. Now, I can’t say that I love this future. But every so often the topic of Fortnite will come up amongst myself and colleagues and although it’s not our cup…
