PlayStationin uusi peli Concord kaatuu kuin pahvimaja myrskyssä!

Kaksi viikkoa putkeen ja Concord on jo lopetettu! Kuinka tämä kävi? Ota selvää PlayStationin surullisesta tarinasta!

PlayStation on jäänyt pelialan historiankirjoihin erikoisella tavalla, sillä heidän tuorein julkaisu, Concord, on nyt menettänyt pelinpotentiaalinsa vain kahden viikon kuluttua lanseerauksestaan. Concord, joka oli kehitetty Firewalk Studiosin toimesta ja jota markkinoitiin moninpelisuihkuammuskelijana, ei onnistunut nappaamaan pelaajien sydämiä – eikä edes pelaajien muista elinvoimaisista kokemuksista: sen myynti oli katastrofaalista.

Käynnistysvaiheesta huolimatta, johon kuului jopa kahdeksan vuoden kehitystyö, Concord kaatui ja aiheutti huimaantumisen kaikille, jotka odottivat innolla uutta toimintaa. PlayStationin virallisessa blogissa julkaistussa lausunnossa vahvistettiin, että peli otetaan pois markkinoilta 6. syyskuuta 2024, ja pelaajille luvataan täysi palautus. Kysymys kuuluu, mitä oikein tapahtui? Miksi näin suuri investointi koki näin hirvittävän epäonnistumisen niin lyhyessä ajassa?

Vaikka Forskarit myönsi pehmeästi, että pelin lanseeraus ei onnistunut odotetusti, se ei voi pyyhkiä pois sitä näyttävää menestystä, mitä monet muut pelit ovat saavuttaneet. Concordin virheiden listalle on päätynyt useita seikkoja, kuten monimutkainen peliympäristö, heikko viestintä pelaajille ja tekniset ongelmat, jotka säikäyttivät heti julkaisun alkumetreillä. Peli, jota oli odotettu useita vuosia, palautti kovan opetuksen sekä kehittäjille että julkaisufoorumeille.

Mielenkiintoista on, että vaikkakin Concord epäonnistui, pelin kehittäjä Firewalk Studios ei ilmeisesti aio heittää pyyhettä kehityskentälle! He ovat ilmoittaneet, että "tulevaisuuden suunnitelmat" ovat edelleen auki ja he aikovat hyödyntää oppimiaan asioita seuraavissa projekteissaan. Tämä käänne tuo toiveita fanien keskuuteen, mikä ilmentää, kuinka epäonnistumiset voivat johtaa myönteisiin muutoksiin.

Hauska fakta sopii tähän: videopelien kehitys voi kestää vuosikymmeniä, ja suositut pelisarjat, kuten The Legend of Zelda ja Grand Theft Auto, ovat kokeneet lukemattomia haasteita, ennen kuin ne ovat onnistuneet valloittamaan sydämet. Concordin tarina muistuttanee meitä siitä, että välillä takaiskuista voi löytyä uusia mahdollisuuksia!
