Concord slammed over \u201cugliest\u201d character designs ever Firewalk StudiosConcord has continued to receive a negative reception from the community, who have now heavily criticized the design of the newly revealed playable hero characters. Playstation\u2019s new 5V5 hero-based shooter from Firewalk Studios, Concord, received a lukewarm welcome after its gameplay reveal during the State of Play presentation in May 2024. As more characters have been introduced, many were left disappointed with some of their designs. While Concord has gained negative attention for repeating the hero-based shooter concept and being directly compared to Overwatch, it\u2019s also under fire for poor character design. One stated in a post: \u201cConcord might have the ugliest character designs I have ever seen.\u201d The hero on display here, \u201cEmari,\u201d was then slated by various users who flooded in to give their views on Concord\u2019s character designs, \u201cThat just looks like the XCOM 2 character generator on shuffle.\u201d Others consider the design outdated, \u201cYeah I\u2019m not too keen on the character design either but I am also tired of the Pixar toon look that most team shooters have had since like 2007.\u201d Referring to Team Fortress 2, a first-person shooter which released the same year and has been widely considered the first game to popularize the style. Concord released a gameplay and cinematic trailer of the characters on a mission, to which a commenter is a fan of the latter. \u201cIf there were a TV show starring the characters from that intro video we saw, I\u2019d watch it. But as a 5v5 online-only MP game? Zero interest in it.\u201d Among the criticisms, One person finds something positive about the character design, particularly the color scheme, which they think would suit a Warhammer 40K army. \u201cThis is a color palette I would unironically consider for a Death Guard or Nurgle army. The visual language of the greens and blues screams \u2018dead\/decay.\u2019 I feel like they were going for army girl here, but I\u2019m honestly expecting her stomach to open up into a disgusting toothy maw.\u201d Concord is Firewalk Studios\u2019 debut in the gaming world and PlayStation\u2019s next gambit in live service games. Concord will be available for pre-order from June 6, 2024, and will be released on August 23, 2024, on PS5 and PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
