This is how I feel about the Deadlock leak, as well. Like sure I'll try it, but like.. We literally already had a shooter with TF2 - now it's just another *hero* shooter as if the market isn't already cornered
There are so many games like this... I never played a single one and I never will. I have zero intrest in it. Tho it would make for a good SP game with those GoTG vibes.
Same…….here’s a story driven trailer with multiple cool looking characters in a colorful world……..but it’s not a story driven game by the way, it’s 5v5 multiplayer “unlike” all the other multiplayer games”” /s
It's weird to me that companies still haven't figured out that you can oversaturate single player markets with little long term harm, but not online ones. Single player games rely only on 1 person to play and enjoy or hate. When you're dealing with multiple people though, you're going to just amass impressionable people to hate it because of the fact that it likely won't stand out on its own. I did want to make a side mention about POE2 having cross-progression. I imagine this was Sony having no choice but the give in to the devs' demands. POE2 will likely be a standalone success on PC that the devs have practically zero need for Sony to accept or not. That type of leverage is precisely what anyone needs to push big companies into finally listening.
Not to mention that singleplayer games could aim for shorter livespans so way more can be overlapping without it actually becoming saturation leading to way more people finding the time to play. The second problem is that companies have a hard on for being able to slap "over 700 hours of padded content" as a tagline on anything.
They don't care, one single successfull live service game would recoup the cost of several failures. They see the workforce as expendable, so can always handle the cost of failure as an overall business. At the end of the day, big publishers like Sony and others are in video games to make money, not to create meaningful and fun experiences. If it ends that the end product is fun and also successful it's more of good bonus than a necessity for a business (talking for live service here, in single player game you do need a minimul level of quality to selll copies)
@@bekir51500 Not any more it doesn't. These games are costing 100 million + to make nowadays. A single failure can kill a studio. Maybe 2 if they're lucky.
Oh this looks interes.... Goddamnit it's Overwatch. Don't get me wrong I miss the good old days of Overwatch, but being pretty and having a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe isn't gonna cut it if the core gameplay is just... Overwatch.
@@jessecox Something interesting I noticed about SH2... You can get SH2 remake looking WAAAYYYYY better then the trailer if you have a good PC!!! The trailer says "captured on PS5" If you check the Steam page for SH2 remake they give specs for the game: The specs for the minimum setting ask for basically a PS5, they want a GPU at the level of a AMD RX 5700, that card is basically a PS5's in GPU form. That is suppose to get you "Low/Medium quality graphic settings, 1080p, in stable 30 FPS" that's what the PS5 will likely hit.
What Jesse says about Concord is exactly what I feel whenever I see these Live Service games "oh cool that's 100% going to be an episode of 'Death of a Game" by NerdSlayer in a few years."
Overwatch is failing and so companies think now is the time to swoop in and take over the hero shooter market. But Overwatch isn't just failing because Acti-Blizz fucked up*, people also just get tired of the same game over and over. "Our game is Overwatch But Different" isn't a selling point because most people who would be into Overwatch already played it. *But the way they fucked up probably doesn't help. Pretending-to-have-interesting-characters-and-a-plot is the vibe this sort of game gives off now. No one believes anything will come of it, so what exactly is the appeal?
I mean there was a lot of casual Overwatch players who lament the game never actually doing anything with it's story. Something that none of these big hero shooters or extraction shooters have bothered with since. So I guess they are banking on that being the draw? But yeah I could not have yawned louder when I heard them say 5v5 pvp
45:02 That kind of shot is VERY Silent Hill. It's one of the several things that helps me feel like the people working on this understands what they're adapting.
For Silent Hill having "48 hour early access" is wrong. That's the day it comes out. If you don't pay the premium price, you get it on peasant release day, which is 2 days after the people who spent extra got it. It's all about PR.
As a straight middle-aged man who mostly plays Soulslikes, if Infinity Nikki has decent combat then I will play the shit out of that. It's so adorable, especially the little cat friend.
Idk how it'd go down but if Concord actually puts out a PvE/story/campaign mode and leaned in on the Guardians of the Galaxy/Scum and Villainy vibe of story telling then it could fill the OW2 hole if we can get attached to the characters.
I just want a remaster or remake of the first 2 infamous games its been like 10 years since the last game and they could easily make the comics between 1 and 2 into a dlc
And yes, there were 2 more Silent Hill games (Townfall & F) they'd announced last year that didn't even get mentioned here. After the reception to Ascension & The Short Message, I wouldn't be surprised if they both got cancelled.
It's prob just cos SH2 is out this year so they are focusing on that. Konami seems to be doing what Square do and pretends the only thing that matters is the next one and even the ones they have announced don't exist until the next game is out. For some reason, they think we will get too confused if they focus on their full-release schedule
I love that you love Dynasty Warriors! I'll never forget hearing Cao Cao introducing his son Cao Pi & my brother & I being like, 👀👀 😂😂. I can't wait to play the new one! I think the last one I played was 8?
Concord Jesse: "Who said we needed more!?" Me checking the list of current games like this: "Overwatch, Paladins, Marvel Rivals, and uhhh... yea, that's about it"
NGL Astrobot was the highlight for me. I never even played the other pack in game, but Astrobot looks like a genuine-ass, video game-ass, video game. Among all the cinematic experience games, the AAA try hard cringe games, and cash grab games, I just want a silly, fun experience.
I'm *completely* with jesse on concord. The game is BEAUTIFUL, I love the visual design, the characters seem fun, it's all great. But I am NOT going to be playing another bloody pvp game. I'm SO burned out on those.
All I knew about Dynasty Warriors before watching this was that Jesse loves it and a new one was announced, and his reaction had me dying and was 100% what I expected.
I'm cautiously optimistic about Silent Hill 2, but no way I'm pre-ordering and from Konami no less. I like the upgraded visuals but I miss the uncanniness of the original characters.
Feel the same way. It feels like it's missing that unnerved "twin peaks" tone. But I also don't really know how you recapture that. The voice acting was too good. They need those awkward line reads that leave you feeling off kilter.
I LOVE Dynasty Warriors and am so pumped for that. Never did Dynasty Warriors 9 but played all of them from Dynasty Warriors 3. They are so great!! Jesse talking about all the characters and me immediately geeking out knowing all of them!
It’s odd as someone who doesn’t play those games but it does seem the American dev industry has largely gotten so samey. Maybe it’s just they use the same marketing firms but it’s so often the same tone and feel. I get so much relief when I see Euro or Japanese-made games cos at least they feel different
I feel you Jesse. I hate this fucking industry, we all have to make the same fucking game, and when we move to something different, we'll all a different game, but the same one!
Previous Silent Hill trailer looked off, this looks better. But is it just me or it kept stuttering in gameplay sections. Also there was a texture pop-in when James was opening the door to room with the radio. I hope they can fix these issues before release.
Unironically, until they showed Astro Bot, I was the most excited for Infinity Nikki. That game looks so cute and fun. And as someone who doesn't like how the Silent Hill 2 remake looks, I was super disappointed that the Transmission was mostly just that. I was really hoping for any more information on Silent Hill f (mostly because of Ryukishi07).
I mean credit where it's due to Marvel Rivals, i got in the Alpha and i extremely enjoyed it, it's 100% a solid refuge for those that don't like what OW has become but enjoyed OW1 when it was under jeff.
I have hopes for Dynasty Warriors Origins going back to pre-DW9 gameplay. If the story is like the Create-A-Character one from Samurai Warriors, with branching paths, that would be neat.
I think Astro's Playroom is the best tech demo ever made (followed by The Order 1886. Can't wait for the full game to be released). Astro Bot looks so fun and I hope it's not just PS fan boy nostalgia making me say that.
"QIZILBASH"!!? What an AMAZING name!!! Holy shit! I'm sorry, I know we're supposed to be focusing on games, but MAN! Caught me off-guard. Also, not making fun, its awesome lol.
I'm a Sun Shang Xiang and Zhu Rong girl. Dynasty Warriors Origins looks hype as hell. Monster Hunter is just mind blowing. I can see why it's taking them an extea year, worth it.
I can tell we're around the same age as I had the same reaction to concord I was like why soon as they said 5v5 I don't care it should've been a co-op game
Concord seems to fall into the hole they talked about on the last Geekenders with Strife. Wrong reward for the wrong people. PVPers aren't usually interested in narrative, and it seems to differentiate itself purely with narrative.
My only issue is that Silent Hill 2 isn't grimy enough, everything is shiny and... not gross. The UI modernities stuff I can live with but make it so I need to take a bath everytime I boot the game, make me uncomfortable, make me not want to look at it
OMG so many good games!!!! I'm ready for all the upcomig SGS vids with each spooky game! Time to bring back the infamous Until Dawn hashtag!!!!! I love how absolutely thrilled Jesse is for Dynasty Warriors lmao. And a 3D Nikki dressup game?!?!!? YESSSSS! It got so big from mobile and now it's a PS game. It really is like FFXIV but for not nerdy girls, it's HUGE in China and even has real like outfits based on the ones from the game. I really want Cox n Crendor play Infinity Nikki lmao
That fire chick in Concord is literally just a solar warlock from Destiny. Same moves and everything. What else should I expect from another soulless hero shooter
Man Jesse speaking how I feel about Concord. I really wish it was a co op experience instead of another hero shooter.
Whoever decided to place Concord in the same State of Play as Marvel Rivals is a fool.
This is how I feel about the Deadlock leak, as well. Like sure I'll try it, but like.. We literally already had a shooter with TF2 - now it's just another *hero* shooter as if the market isn't already cornered
There are so many games like this... I never played a single one and I never will. I have zero intrest in it.
Tho it would make for a good SP game with those GoTG vibes.
@@muncherofbiscuitsI really am hype for it ngl I love the idea of hero shooter and moba combined
Definitely feel like it's be better as a Borderland-like game. Got your 4+ hero classes, but its not pvp.
"Is this that game where you change dresses?"
Jesse wtf are you on abou...
*immediately changes the dress*
:o
13:10 the moment Jessie recognizes it's Dynasty Warriors 10 seconds into the trailer.
Not gonna lie. Astro Bot looks legit SO FUN. So much creativity and fun on screen, these are what games should be
It does look like PlayStation Mario. I’ll buy it.
Watching Jesse Cox do the Coxtradamus thing in the first 7 minutes 30 seconds and lose his mind was a sight to behold
Wow coxtradamus was right again.
I laughed for a full minute once I saw the glasses come off.
He was wondering what is was and I was over hear shouting it's Overwatch with extra steps.
I love that Jesse is one of the several dozen people who get hype about new Dynasty Warriors.
Played DW3 probably 20 years ago and my life changed forever for the better.
Jesse had the same exact reactions i did when they revealed what Concord would actually be.
A damn shame. What could have been a good first person action adventure game, it would have worked.
Same…….here’s a story driven trailer with multiple cool looking characters in a colorful world……..but it’s not a story driven game by the way, it’s 5v5 multiplayer “unlike” all the other multiplayer games”” /s
@TheDarkkilla12 no kidding. I would have been on board if they made it in the vein of Borderlands.
@@deadcard13 Me too!
Same, was so letdown by the game style after that trailer

I did want to make a side mention about POE2 having cross-progression. I imagine this was Sony having no choice but the give in to the devs' demands. POE2 will likely be a standalone success on PC that the devs have practically zero need for Sony to accept or not.

Please stick Davis in Aliens VR 😂
he would throw himself into a wall and perish 😔
Oh this looks interes.... Goddamnit it's Overwatch.
Don't get me wrong I miss the good old days of Overwatch, but being pretty and having a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe isn't gonna cut it if the core gameplay is just... Overwatch.
Sate of Play, huh?
Yeah. Like it's sating your desire for play. That's it. Sated. You're welcome.
I meant to do that...yep.
@@jessecox Something interesting I noticed about SH2... You can get SH2 remake looking WAAAYYYYY better then the trailer if you have a good PC!!! The trailer says "captured on PS5"

Lmaoooo “Overwatch is failing” LMAOOOO what a statement
A LITTLE Guardians of the Galaxy? That’s ALL it is. They have equivalent characters to the entire GoG roster. They didn’t make a single unique thing.
I mean there was a lot of casual Overwatch players who lament the game never actually doing anything with it's story. Something that none of these big hero shooters or extraction shooters have bothered with since. So I guess they are banking on that being the draw? But yeah I could not have yawned louder when I heard them say 5v5 pvp
If you came back to this after 3 years of not watching anything gaming you would literally think there are only 2 genres left in gaming.
7:43 Jesse loosing it here is hilarious. XD
I came here for the Concord reaction.
Glad to have sat through Silent Hill Transmission with Jesse here lol

Concord looked cool RIGHT until they said 5v5 shooter. WHY EXECUTIVES WHY.
Please bring Brett along for the Silent Hill 2 SGS series!!
Yes OMG, It'd be great to bring Brett, he's awesome!
I just want a remaster or remake of the first 2 infamous games its been like 10 years since the last game and they could easily make the comics between 1 and 2 into a dlc
Jesse's rant about Concord as aged so incredibly well.
And yes, there were 2 more Silent Hill games (Townfall & F) they'd announced last year that didn't even get mentioned here. After the reception to Ascension & The Short Message, I wouldn't be surprised if they both got cancelled.

Right!? Not sure how it'd fit into the SH lore, but it looked sick.
It's prob just cos SH2 is out this year so they are focusing on that.

I love that you love Dynasty Warriors! I'll never forget hearing Cao Cao introducing his son Cao Pi & my brother & I being like, 👀👀 😂😂. I can't wait to play the new one! I think the last one I played was 8?
"Scary Game Squad all of October"
I'm *ready*!
Concord
Jesse: "Who said we needed more!?"
Me checking the list of current games like this: "Overwatch, Paladins, Marvel Rivals, and uhhh... yea, that's about it"
The facial animations in that first cutscene are insane

The pack in game is crazy good and uses all the controllers capabilities of the controller
Without a doubt the best tech demo ever. Also a huge nostalgia trip if you're been playing since the Playstation 1 days.
Thx for covering this, probably wouldn't have watched the state of play if you didn't make a video
Behemoth looked a lot like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and I''m SO in for it, that game was really cool. Hope you can kick people off cliffs.
That game was awesome, if it wasn’t for my crippling arachnophobia
I'm *completely* with jesse on concord.

Infinity Nikki is what the Princess Peach game should have been.
Well it did had Super Mario Odyssey music
@@Doomroar I thought that sounded familiar! It sounds just like that anime song that’s all over TikTok.
the concord thing is so blatantly the corporate idea of relatable and personified. It's gonna fail like anthem because it has no soul
if this is their idea of a risk free investment someone or a whole company is getting fired
my birthday is in October. Scary game squad videos is an amazing gift!
the reaction to Concord... chefs kiss
Ah a fellow Dynasty Warriors enjoyer! Lets GO, new one looks sick.
Jesse knows we got a Cat Quest trailer a few weeks ago during a nintendo announcement right?
Dynasty warrior LET'S GO!!!
Surprisingly the female galactus is a real character from the comics.
Oh, it is so great to see jesse get a dynasty warriors game. AND silent hill 2.
It’s odd as someone who doesn’t play those games but it does seem the American dev industry has largely gotten so samey. Maybe it’s just they use the same marketing firms but it’s so often the same tone and feel. I get so much relief when I see Euro or Japanese-made games cos at least they feel different
Whoa Jesse. you look great. Keep doing what you're doing. and thanks for the amazing video yet again
I feel you Jesse. I hate this fucking industry, we all have to make the same fucking game, and when we move to something different, we'll all a different game, but the same one!

Me and Jesse one of the only people who popped off for Dynasty Warriors of all things.
4:40 I said the exact same thing!
17:19 And same reaction I had too 🙃
While im excited for concord... I'm pissed its not a single player/co-op story game
Even the developers of Concord don't look all that happy to be presenting it...
I can tell we're around the same age as I had the same reaction to concord I was like why soon as they said 5v5 I don't care it should've been a co-op game
Thank you for an awesome video Jesse and thank you as always for you being amazing!
7:18 I felt that...I feel the same about these hero shooters x)
More Monster Hunter Wilds is the best thing to come out of this SOP! I'm super hyped for it! Capcom have been on a consistent roll these past years.
So sad to see that Fanattik hasn't shipment to Chile.
What a bummer, I was going to buy the keychain and the coins.
That James' original jacket goes up to 3XL btw Jesse 👀
"I just don't have space in my soul for it"
This.
dog bank unboxing video? I remember you doing way back when for your PC.....
Totally called it on it having been better if that first game were a PVE coop instead
53:21 I think she looks like Maisie Williams! Arya from GOT.
Concord seems like it should have been a co-op heist game.
Even Jesse's internet has had enough of hero shooters.
Way to go Davis on starting a movie studio. I'll be looking out for the Tom Welling cameo.
I am watching to watch the reaction to concord. So happy I did
Soulcalibur VII reveal and announcement should’ve been at PlayStation State of Play May 2024
Concord seems to fall into the hole they talked about on the last Geekenders with Strife. Wrong reward for the wrong people. PVPers aren't usually interested in narrative, and it seems to differentiate itself purely with narrative.
That Astro boi looks so cool take off the mask and it’s Mario game and I’m in for that.
Tokyo jungle 2 i would love that
My only issue is that Silent Hill 2 isn't grimy enough, everything is shiny and... not gross. The UI modernities stuff I can live with but make it so I need to take a bath everytime I boot the game, make me uncomfortable, make me not want to look at it
OMG so many good games!!!! I'm ready for all the upcomig SGS vids with each spooky game! Time to bring back the infamous Until Dawn hashtag!!!!! I love how absolutely thrilled Jesse is for Dynasty Warriors lmao. And a 3D Nikki dressup game?!?!!? YESSSSS! It got so big from mobile and now it's a PS game. It really is like FFXIV but for not nerdy girls, it's HUGE in China and even has real like outfits based on the ones from the game. I really want Cox n Crendor play Infinity Nikki lmao
That fire chick in Concord is literally just a solar warlock from Destiny. Same moves and everything. What else should I expect from another soulless hero shooter
Yooooooo, James Sunderland is being played by Woodes Rogers? Hype!
Eyyy yooo ocncords grenade ability is STRAIGHT up a hunters grenade effect and all from destiny 2 and i dont even play hunters!
Gali/Galacta is Galen/Galatcus' daughter.
Concord's opening really reminded me of what they used to show of Beyond Good and Evil 2, perhaps they recycled that project.
So pumped to watch SGS play Silent Hill 2!
