Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

The character roster for this game looks so generic and boring.
https://dotesports.com/concord/news/all-concord-characters-every-freerunner-weapon-ability-and-crew-bonus
You have the choice of:
-Cylindrical yellow robot (arguably this is the most original and interesting design)
-Woman with puffy sleeves
-Woman with box on head
-Man with goggles and winter jacket
-Old Woman
-Woman with pauldrons
-Generic Woman
-Green woman with ears
-Man with hat
-Pink robot
-Mushroom
-Green man with shit on arms
-Woman with sphere on head
-Blue and Red man
-Generic Man
-Generic Woman 2
Like, I've hardly played overwatch but at least I can tell from afar what most of the characters do from looking at them. Clearly, in overwatch, Giant knight with hammer is a melee tank, clearly the ninja guy with the sword is mobile and and has some melee ability, clearly the lady with the sniper rifle is a sniper, clearly the angel is a healer, clearly, the lady with the jetpack can fly and is support, etc.
Applying this logic to concord, the BEST I can guess is that Woman with pauldrons is a tank, otherwise the design is so ass, I really can't even tell.
Get a design department and/or let them do their job Sony.
I agree. Someone said some time ago that players should be able to recognize characters by their silhouette alone. That's definitely not the case here.
You know how E3 and other game expos used to have these people dressed up as game characters that company stands would hire to promote their games? All these characters look like that.
