Since Redfall released, Arkane Lyon has to be so upset to always be associated or mixed up with Arkane Austin. Why mention them in this release? lol

The game has become decent since the updates, the stank from the launch never left it tho. To it's end.

Should never have seen the light of day. And to the gits on here who encouraged me to give it a try. I still want my time back. You know who you are....

Decent, decent??? You fucker you!

I just wish they finished what they started instead of abandoning it.

I mean it is just adding two new characters. It is not a massive undertaking.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Someone needs to make a mod that adds two characters.

They should have just done a 2 for 1 with a non-binary.

 

[DosGamer]

Serious question... back in the day.. games that came and went without much noise usually ended up increasing in price and collectability... but with the required online requirement... my guess it that it makes a lot of these games useless going forward for collectors???

What was this tweet about?



Was it literally bait to see how much engagement the tweet would get to gauge if they should work on updates?

 

[Krathoon]

What? Are they messing with us?

 

[Krathoon]

Oh. I see. We have to register to get the refund.

 

[Rambone]

R.I.P

I haven't really played the open world part, so i'm assuming that's when it kinda falls apart.
Been trying more xbox games during my GP trial. I've played some of most of them, but not Redfall til now.

 

[Krathoon]

You essentially have to request the refund. Got forbid they automatically give it to you.

Typical company bullshit.

Still you can just buy a cheap key to get the costumes and then get the refund.

I don't like to see people lose their jobs. But the message is clear here studios. Stop chasing games as a service. Stop trying to milk your audience like cattle. Stop having bloated team sizes. Start making good games.

Hahahahaha ms dont give a fuck. They gonna pump the big ips and live service games until kingdom come.
No more Dishonored, Evil Within and Hi Fi Rush. Get loss Wolfenstein. Hell Doom may be on the chopping block since they already have cod and halo.

It does suck that we will not get two extra characters. I wonder if they even worked on them.

Doubt it, based on the concurrent numbers they would have had poor sales.

 

[TheUsual]

Remember playing this on PC Gamepass. The world was cool and the town was fun to explore. Everything else though...no.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Game Pass the best deal in gaming

 

[xrnzaaas]

This means it's not getting an offline mode either, not that I would play it anyway. Wonder how many years (months?) the servers will last.

 

[Krathoon]

I suspect this game will get hacked later on and put on some independant server like Hellgate London.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Yeah, I'm wondering the same. Especially since they didn't even see a number of things through.

Regardless of how you feel about the game, it's a shame. Wasn't expecting to read about multiple studios closing this morning. I hate how this has become a weekly thing for awhile now.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

Cant say I didnt see this coming, but it should have come before the game released.

 

[Tommi84]

Lesson learned: don’t use the word “fall” in your game’s title.

Fall... out?

 

[Laptop1991]

What a waste of time and money, could of made Dishonored 3 or Prey 2 or both instead!.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

I guess there was no many of them

 

[Krathoon]

The whole "online only" thing does get annoying. It is not geared towards software preservation.

 

[scydrex]

Even at $70 this game was a steal. Only worth it to try it with gamepass maybe.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Fall... out?

Fallout 5 is doomed

 

[Tommi84]

Fallout 5 is doomed

But we had 76th already. Fifth was like decades ago

So, what have they been working on the last 12 months or so?

 

[Krathoon]

It really makes me wonder if they have the extra characters ready and they are too cheap to release them.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

It would be a lot of QA even if they are mostly ready. Doesn't make sense to release them at this point.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Imagine the pressure in Lyon knowing that the smallest misstep on Blade could mean that they will follow. It's sad to see how a beloved studio that tries to adapt to modern trends in order to pay the bills and continue making what they love i.e immersive sims but ultimately fail.

They already 'mis-stepped'. No one cares about Blade or a Blade game. Just as Suicide Squad was a C-tier group and game, Blade is even worse.

 

[Operations66]

The game wasn't even as bad as people pretend it was.

 

[wvnative]

Are there any other examples of a season pass not being delivered?

 

[StueyDuck]

I thought it was going to save xbox? Isn't that what all those colty boys and jezzy poopoos say

 

[Shadowstar39]

This is the cost of making shitty games this gen. Studios can’t afford a flop

No the cost of making gaas games. If they made a single player game complete, and it was half way decent they would at least break even or make a small profit and move on. Gaas requires numbers. Gaas is big risk. Its either strike it big or loose. Don't know why pubs like to play the odds like that but won't invest in single player games that the existing fans love (or hell a single/multiplayer game like killzone or old cod).

 

[skyfinch]

Is this still coming out on PS5? This is THE game that will make me finally buy PlayStation.

 

[Starbuck2907]

You can’t get away with releasing an underbaked GASS. Those days are over.

Suicide Squad kills the justice league is next on the chopping block.

 

[TransTrender]

They're likely baked at this point.
Last I heard Blade wasn't even the main character in his own movie. Imagine Spider Man 2 but with 300% more Mary Janes.

 

[Krathoon]

I remember the videos showing lots of really bad bugs in this game. Lots of T-posing.

I assume that is fixed now.

There were so many bugs that it made me wonder if the videos were fake.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Was actually interested in seeing if they could turn it around. No way it was gonna be a certified classic but at least Xbox had a decent exclusive on its hands. Oh well.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Redfall is the only game in history to be released as a dead game and now they gonna officially put a dead game out of its misery.
Would like to feel sad for this game and people who like it, but people were so damn stupid and stubborn that I honestly think they deserve that.

You're forgetting that gaas hero dota shooter that released around overwatch's release.

 

[Krathoon]

The game still has lots of design flaws and bad AI. Not certain what really happened with it. It just feels way undercooked.

 

[SportsFan581]

The game has become decent since the updates, the stank from the launch never left it tho. To it's end.

It was fun but shallow. When you play FC though and then compare the two it really drives home how much content the FC games get in there.

It will be one of those forgotten games that only those that played it understand that it wasn't as bad as its worst bug compilations.

 

[Krathoon]

The game really feels like they just tossed something together and did not bother to put much effort into it.

 

[poppabk]

Remember playing this on PC Gamepass. The world was cool and the town was fun to explore. Everything else though...no.

Yeah that is what sucks - they had a really cool setting and as a single player game I think it could have turned out great. Instead it was just meh, not as terrible as the hyperbole, but just not engaging and with bugs and issues (AI, bullet proof leaves etc) that could have been ironed out if they weren't making a bunch of GaaS then co-op stuff.

 

[mitch1971]

"Redfall's server will remain online for a player to enjoy"

Fixed.
