Steam's Deadlock just "officially announced" and "released"...in alpha...CLOSED alpha. You need an invite.
There are currently 55k people playing, with a peak of 64k. Heck, Deadlock had 30k before it was even announced.
Concord still (on Steam) hasn't cracked seven...hundred. Didn't even crack five hundred today, and is currently under three hundred on Steam.
Out of sick curiosity, I just did another comparison. CoD: Black Ops 3 (from 2015) still has 6k+ people playing at the moment, with a daily high of almost 10k. A game from 2015 has more than 20x the players, and 18x the daily peak.
And this is all despite ad campaigns plastering Concord banners everywhere. I don't recall ever seeing a launch quite this bad. I don't even know how they did it.
I did some digging because I was curious, Battlefield 1 still has 10k players as of the past 24 hours, Concord apparently has less players than ME3 at 449.
I still suspect that it being from Sony has a part to play as I heard the characters in Deadlock don't all look like they are from Dead or Alive or some other Asian game that understands beauty and yet it dumpstered Concord but regardless it is just the biggest humiliation of a game studio/publisher.
How many does Battlefield 4 typically have? Been thinking of reinstalling and scratching that itch...
I am also a lover of thr Battlefield series! BF4 was the last great one IMHO. Yeah it had its problems at launch, but Dice LA managed to iron a lot of them out.
I am well aware of, and can put up with, skeezy server admits. But thanks for the warning!
P.S. I'm more like the Engineer from Battlefield friends. I definitely have my shit bucket colonel wings, though!
2k peaks, looks like
