Redfall - open world vampire slaying co-op FPS from Arkane Austin

So the plan is simple now, re-remaster all Dishonored games for easy money (or any other cash grab imaginable) and they are ready to close the studio. The curse of Microsoft ownership.

Maybe they should remaster something good?

There's only one game called Prey and it sure as fuck wasn't made by Arkane.

There might be some kind of error with Steam webpage, i can't see Redfall in top 1000 seller list.

i am surprised too 939 reviews mostly negative and it doesnt show. I am also surprised there's still people paying 70 euros for this despite being on gamepass day one.

Makes you think about, how retarded people must be, to still pre-order.

holy shit that blue flashlight gun had me genuinely laughing out loud. How is that anything but the work of some diversity hire's first day on the job? 0:35

Human Head's Prey was a solid shooter, most memorable for its cinematic opening. I can't recall if you could place portals all over the place like in Portal or on very specific points (like Thi4f's rope arrows).

Sure, Arkane's Prey was too easy, doling out far too many xp consumables, but it's level design is elegant and invites and rewards player curiosity and creativity to navigate its playspace.

Arkane bozos stay losing.

Hi.

fall. Fall. FALL!

Gosh this is something okay? ikr! Seeing some of these gamers video of the movement or moving through npcs was since is the same from Austin department that made Prey and shouts to Harvey Smith, Ricardo Bare who can still bring some recognitionxzs to the comapny but just not the same without Raphael Colantonio at the helm and with the quality I would have thought it was made in Montreal or something right?

Thanks,
Sherry

As of right now, Redfall (Xbox Series X version) has a 64 Metascore on Metacritic, making it Arkane's lowest rated game of all time. Just to give you an idea, thegame surpassed the classics Arx Fatalis (71 of Metascore) and Dark Messiah Might and Magic (72 of Metascore) in negativity. The user notes option will be released tomorrow for Redfall, which will likely be very low. The situation regarding Redfall is worrying even on Steam, as the title has registered 589 negative reviews and only 233 positive reviews - at the time of this post.

The fact that Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah are that low on the journo-normalfag ratings should be a much bigger outcry than whatever this shit is.

Arx Fatalis has a 8.2 user score and Dark Messiah 8.7 on Metacritic. Who the fuck even cares what retarded gamejournos think? 'Critics' scores have always been utterly useless.

what's with this "Redfall is trash / Starfield may be as well" ?

How is the latter's prospect predicated on the former? I don't think any Arkane fan was optimistic when the Redfall trailer first came out

Bethesda said Arkane helped them develop Fallout 76. idSoft helped them develop Fallout 4. So Bethesda do bring in their vassal studios to work on flagship projects.
And if the quality of the vassal's work is poor, then their contribution to the flagship might also be poor. Its not a completely unrelated company.

But yes, I agree that extrapolating here isn't sensible, least of all because the two very different genres of game, and because they use different engine and have different tolerances for glitches.

In the last decade, since everyone went online and has fast internet connections, and "games as a service" became a thing, have there been even 10 major releases without bugs? All I can think of is Half Life Alyx and Sekiro. So its not a 2023 problem.
And has there EVER been a Bethesda related game release without bugs?

I downloaded this on Gamepass. It feels like a student project that had too many resources shoved into it. If this had been a lower fidelity, co-op, free-to-play, and a mobile game, people would have overlooked a lot of its problems, and indeed it would not even be something that people were talking about.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Gosh, even Shill Up thinks it's dogshit.

Was it Harvey, or Bethestard behind all of this?

 

[Siel]

Imagine choosing Leanna over Xana

 

[Tyranicon]

Bruh, what is this stomp animation?

Fucking player model is scarier than anything else in this game.

It's Scout from Team Fortress 2 making a comeback. RIP Crazy Legs

Reverend? So progressive.

 

[Zlaja]

The game throws ammo resupplies at you at every turn, so scrounging for resources is never incentivized nor feels rewarding

I fucking despise this shit. Totally ruined games like Far Cry 3 & 4 for me.

It's a shame, because Prey is a pretty solid core that really needs some reworking of many aspects of it's gameplay, especially in the second half, to really be a masterpiece. It's definitely a good contender for a well-thought out remake.

Of course, knowing Arkane now, they would just slap on some screen effects, change Morgan to be black, and call it a new and improved version. And of course it would be a buggy mess with horrible performance.

There's only one game called Prey and it sure as fuck wasn't made by Arkane.

Are you kidding? The original Prey may have had some charm in things like it's portals, but it played like a very bog-standard undercooked FPS and the fact that they couldn't even get death mechanics right made me quit after a few minutes. You're free to like it, but to claim it's better than the new Prey or that the new Prey is so bad to the point of denying it's existence is delusional. Please get some better takes.

Notice how a certain someone is totally absent from the thread now that the game turned out to be a shit bomb.

Seems like Atomic Heart and Dead Island 2 were largely stable/solid.
