God of War Creator Says Concord Character Designs Are Horrible

Expert Verified By

"Hate The Character Designs. What A Disaster!"

Story Highlight
  • Concord’s open beta was recently released to mixed reception.
  • The creator of God of War also played the game and heavily criticized its character designs.
  • On the other hand, he praised the overall gameplay.

Concord is PlayStation’s latest live service title. While the game was recently launched in open beta, it has peaked at around 3K players only, and most seem to be already moving on.

Following the beta, audiences have shared their opinions on the hero shooter. The creator of God of War also joined the discussion, and he had a few harsh words to share about Firewalk Studios’ character designs.

Why it matters: Concord is a huge release for Sony as it continues to explore live-service gaming. However, all signs currently point to a complete failure from the gaming giant.

Concord
Fans Believe Concord Offers The Most Generic Hero Shooter Experience

David Jaffe has recently played a few Concord matches and shared his first impressions on Twitter. Using an image of the victory screen, he has criticized the game’s character designs, calling them a disaster.

Fu****g HATE the character designs in this game. What a disaster.

-David Jaffe

However, he states that the gameplay is really fun.

While his opinions are typically different from the majority, it looks like fans agree with David Jaffe in this regard. Most Concord players in the comments share similar opinions, stating that the character designs indeed look horrible and generic.

They look like someone hit the randomize button on a character creator.

Concord
Concord’s gameplay trailer focused on standard multiplayer aspects and offered nothing new.

Concord has faced an uphill battle ever since its first reveal. The game has constantly been compared to Overwatch and Guardians of The Galaxy since it struggles to find a separate identity.

While it remains to be seen how the hero shooter will perform at launch, the current reactions are quite concerning.

Live service titles already face so many challenges in the market that success is never guaranteed. Concord is facing more challenges than most games, making its situation even worse.
