Kontrasten mellem forventninger og virkelighed er sjældent så markant som i tilfældet med PlayStations nyeste spil, Concord, der lukkes ned efter kun 14 dage!
I en dyster vending har PlayStation annonceret, at deres nyeste skud på stammen, multiplayer shooter-spillet 'Concord', vil blive taget offline blot to uger efter dets lancering den 23. august. Spillerne, der har kastet penge og håb ind i denne shooter, kan nu se frem til at få deres penge tilbage — en god nyhed i en ellers skuffende situation. Spillet, der var udviklet over otte lange år af Firewalk Studios, skulle have været en triumf, men realiteten har været en helt anden. Det ser ud til, at feedback fra brugerne ikke har været positiv, og mange fans har følt sig svigtet af det endelige produkt.
Kritikken har været hård, og PlayStation har ikke været bange for at lytte. I en officiel erklæring udtaler de, at de har tagit den triste beslutning at lukke 'Concord' ned efter en ganske kort levetid, da salget og spilleraktiviteten ikke har mødt forventningerne. Spillet skulle appellere til dem, der elsker team-baserede shooter-oplevelser, men i stedet blev det hurtigt glemt blandt de mange andre titler på markedet. Det er elfes grelt, men det er det virkelige liv for gameudviklere.
Hvordan kunne et spil, der brugte otte år på at udvikle sig, ende i skraldespanden så hurtigt? For mange er svaret simpelthen, at det moderne spillerpublikum har ulige forventninger. Med så mange spil at vælge imellem og et konstant fokus på kvalitet, kan selv de mest talentfulde udviklere have svært ved at finde fodfæste i den overfyldte verden af videospil. Desværre for 'Concord' blev det en sandhed, de måtte konfrontere ganske hurtigt.
Det er en påmindelse til udviklere: Lyt til spilernes stemme! I takt med at gaming-verdenen udvikler sig, er der konstant behov for tilpasning og innovation for at imødekomme de stadigt skiftende præferencer hos spillere. Det er aldrig nemt at finde den perfekte balance mellem udvikling og lancering, men oplevelsen med 'Concord' viser, hvordan det kan gå glat, når tingene ikke er gennemtænkt.
Vidste du, at 'Concord' ikke er det første spil, der er blevet skrottet efter kort tid på markedet? Historisk set er der flere titler, der har lidt samme skæbne, hvilket er et bevis på, hvordan den moderne gaming-industri kan være uforudsigelig. Derudover viste de tidlige analyser, at 'Concord' tiltræk lidt over en million dollar i salget, hvilket kan lyde imponerende, men i virkeligheden var det langt fra de mål, de havde sat for sig selv.
Vi må også bemærke, at spillere generelt er mere tilbøjelige til at støtte titler, der giver en levende og engagerende oplevelse — noget, 'Concord' tilsyneladende manglede. Hvad kan vi lære af denne situation? At opbygge et fællesskab blandt spillere samt at lytte til deres ønsker og behov er essentielle elementer i succesfuld spildesign.
