Ted has been thinking about PC games and bothering anyone who would listen with his thoughts on them ever since he booted up his sister's copy of Neverwinter Nights on the family computer. He is obsessed with all things CRPG and CRPG-adjacent, but has also covered esports, modding, and rare game collecting.
The PlayStation Network doesn't have public player numbers, so it's hard to say what the complete picture is, but things don't look great for Concord on PC. The $40 hero shooter is setting at mostly positive reviews on Steam, but according toIt's also a quite pretty game, with a Guardians of the Galaxy-inspired aesthetic and some aspirations to continued seasonal storytelling.
Now, Helldivers 2 blew everyone's expectations out of the water earlier this year as a $40 Sony-published multiplayer game, but it's a totally different beast from Concord—and every other game, there's nothing quite like it out there. Less MMORPG faff and complication than Destiny or Warframe, but way more involved progression and storytelling than co-op shooters like Killing Floor, there were plenty of reasons to bet on Arrowhead even before Helldivers 2's runaway success.
But there are a ton of hero and arena shooters out there, with the cream of the crop being well-established, cheaper, or even free. No matter how good Concord's shooting and aesthetic might be, Destiny, Overwatch, XDefiant, Apex Legends, The Finals, and Deadlock all fill a similar niche while being completely free, with either established player bases and competitive scenes or an upswell of interest and word of mouth.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle devs say an Indy game 'could never be a shooter, should never be a shooter,' so they're embracing his signature whip, improvised brawls, and disguise-based stealth instead After Borderlands comes crawling back to Steam, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford responds to people mocking his old predictions about Steam being killed off by the Epic Store: 'Epic is not pressing their advantage'
