Releasing their first $70 game, an FPS, without 60 fps ...I hope the game gets destroyed by reviewers. It's as simple as that for me this is unacceptable and MS needs to learn their lesson.

I mean, I'm not going to die on a hill defending what looks like a pretty mediocre game technically, but to be completely fair, it's not like it's a twitch PvP FPS. It's a co-op PVE game. Should it run and look better on Series X hardware? 100%. But I don't think ypu can lump it in with the likes of CoD where 60fps is a genre necessity.

I'm just hoping it's a halfway decent stand in for Borderlands, which has crawled too far up its own butt chasing the scent of its own farts and died, IMO. As long as this ends up being fun in coop, I'll check out the complete edition in a year or two. I guess we'll see.
 
Holy Christ. Watching that German video was fucking painful. Anyone who was championing the phrase "Arkane don't miss" might want to retire it.

Scrubbed though until I got to the 44min mark and started watching in earnest.
Holy Yikes
First I got strong Fallout 76 vibes, but then there were parts which somehow looked and played worse.
This is the second video in which some things don't look textured at all.

This is from the same team that gave us the GOAT Prey.

What the fucking fuck happened ?

Prey did not make the studio money in 2017. I assume execs pressured the studio to make something more "mainstream".The game director and other devs left the studio soon after release, with the director citing lack of creative freedom in AAA games. Redfall is the result of Arkane trying something to appease all gamers

I'm not even being dramatic when I say I couldn't believe my eyes. The game just looks so half-assed. Textures. Animation. AI. The whole thing just looks like some thrown together attempt. Like the devs are either incompetent, struggling, or just did not give a fuck.

Did you guys saw the pedestrian crossing texture at the end of the video? What's going on?

I really can't help but feel like this game is being pushed out the door. The game looks like ass AND only runs at 30fps at launch? That should have been an easy decision to delay. This looks like it's being sent to slaughter just for the sake of releasing a game in the first half of the year.

Because if that isn't the explanation then what is? Did Arkane lose key talent? Do they just not care?

And they shouldn't have.

@rofif is still scarred to this day. May his fate serve as a timely reminder.

I will give Forspoken two things. One, it definitely looks better than this, especially when you have all the spell particles flying. If you told me this was a 360 remaster, I'd believe it. And two, I had fun, at least in the demo, zipping around and fighting the enemies. This game just looks incredibly generic.

People ITT salivating over the idea of another poorly received Xbox release.

The footage doesn't look great, but I bet this will be a solidly enjoyable co-op experience. I also have to wonder if there is a Day 1 patch that wasn't pushed out at the time of the recordings. Either way we'll find out very soon.

Not likely - in Redfall, when playing co-op, only the hosts' progress is persisted. I imagine that's going to rustle more than a few jimmies on social media once the reality of that lands.

Pffff I cannot stand when multiplayer games do this, had no idea that was the case here.

Lots of questionable decisions here to be sure

Lmao. Who is going to waste time joining someone else's game now?

Who designed this game lmao
 
Anyone know when the NZ trick will work?

edit, apparently it just launches everyone at once, including tomorrow in the US? Weird, but sounds nice. I thought the official date was the 2nd.

I'm surprised some are just now hearing about the game having host-only progression in coop. IIRC, that's been known for a while but people were like "wait until the gameplay is out before you judge" and "It's Arkane!".

Well, now we're starting to see how the game plays and it makes the host-only progression issue an even bigger problem.

My group was kinda interested in checking it out because, hey, we all have Game Pass, might as well, right? That little bombshell killed it immediately - went from a "why not" to a "why would you?".

This is how most coop games are designed.

That aside, carry on everyone. I will be disappointed if this game got middling reviews.

Metascore needs to be either in 40s or 90s.
 
Forspoken combat and traversal shat on this game from great heights from what i'm seeing here.

I only hope for some good immersive sims elements and decent world story telling at this point...
 
"FIRST gameplay footage on Series X"

...2 days before release....

...please MS stop showing your consoles versions so late. At your June event I want want to see some running on Series X footage
 
Gameplay looks really generic and the graphics are nothing impressive, it should be able to run at 60 fps no problem. Instead it runs at 30 with bad frame pacing. I can't believe MS is banking on this game.

Design by woke committee it seems. It's like the culmination of every bad trend in gaming.

But I hope there's some fun beneath the surface

All I know is we're gonna be feasting here in 1 day after a long drought

its so funny some Sony Dudes here are very salty. Game will be even better than Forspoken...Trust me :messenger_winking:

Forspoken looks way better and also the gameplay is great. Story is something else or you need to love it. But this shit is just generic looter shooter which we already have seen much from.

Doesn't seem great. Review embargo dropping same day for these big games is always a red flag.

Not just that but also the way Zenimax is aggressively copyright striking any video leaks… for a game that's due out in 24 hours. Feels like if they had confidence in the game they wouldn't care about people seeing minor bits of it a mere day and a half before release.

But Forspoken was crap, being better than Forspoken doesn't mean that it will be a good game. That footage looked shit and it wasn't just the graphics that were bad, the gameplay looks fucking worse!
