I assume my PS5 controller will not work with the game. I'll get out the XBox One controller.

Keyboard and mouse might work fine.

 

[Hestar69]

Do people on gaf actually want Xbox to fail? Serious question.

Sadly alot of of people do just check out the activision thread. Sony fanboys don't seem to realize competition is good and should want all 3 companies to do well

All jokes aside......I'm still giving this game a chance.

If you're playing via steam then it will.

I think even adding it as a non-steam game will work even if you've got it from elsewhere.

But yeh, it's a first person game that mostly involves shooting. Kb/m will always be the best option in that situation.

Why, so Sony can monopolize aaa console gaming? Who wants an arrogant company that can just flat out ignore their user base?

Bro it's a joke take it easy

I only want Xbox to fail most of the time

On gamepass? it does but you have to use DS4windows

 

[FrankWza]

Honestly, this kind of situation is also why Microsoft's instance on measuring "player engagement" instead of sales numbers is fundamentally flawed. There will obviously be a lot of people that play this with Game Pass. Maybe even more than usual, if the reviews are bad as people think "how bad can it be, I'll just download it for free and try it myself", then exit out after 5 minutes and boom - they're tallied the same way as a paying customer is on other platforms.

They like to use "reached" a lot.

I don't want them to fail, just want them to stop getting so much good will for doing so poorly. If Nintendo or Sony had their track record, they'd be burned alive by the press.

Xbox can have year long droughts yet seemingly the press always turn a blind eye.

 

[ungalo]

Xbox is responsible for the fact that the game is releasing obviously unfinished. But i wouldn't say it's their fault they couldn't rectify the course of the project.

From what i've heard Austin has been very pessimistic about it for years (the game was supposed to come out 3 years ago) since it was a request from Bethesda and they were not making any progress. And i'm not shitting on Bethesda, i defended them since they had a lot of undeserved commercial fails before.

But it's not a coincidence if this game didn't scream "passion" since the moment it was announced, it was just meant to be a request from a barely standing publisher to a barely standing studio. Now what i'm wondering is if Xbox is actually going to give them a chance to make real games they want to make, obviously Redfall is not going to help their case.

DualsenseX (DSX on steam) is better than this for PS5 controllers BTW.

Now this is what next gen is all about baby! GOTY triple A banger coming in hot! starfield next

Redfall, AAA?
Yeah, No.

“Redfall is perfect for quick in and out fun . No don’t be filthy or misogynistic. We to have mention that a sure fire mother load of updates and improvements will be coming throughout the year, including the infamous 60fps option , Redfall is prime Gamepass joy”

 

[Calverz]

Another person who doesn't understand time zones.

5pm Pacific / 6pm Mountain / 7pm Central / 8pm Eastern / 9pm Atlantic / Midnight GMT

Two hours.
Embargo drops the exact same time as global release.

Yes that’s right. I don’t understand what midnight is in my own country.

This tell a lot. This guy should rename himself to 'PC Principal Microaggression'.

Don't forget he was also an ardent XBox apologist back when he worked for IGN. He's the one who famously tried to justify that the human eye cannot tell the difference between 720p and 1080p and therefore it shouldn't matter that the PS4 was more powerful than the X1.

Hopefully so

Let’s just forget this whole zoomer shooter GaaS crap was mandated by Bethesda and now that MS owns them they can create games they want to make

This GaaS trend madness has to stop. It’s infecting too many good studios

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. I am using Gamepass on this one. I do have DS4windows installed. I think I will try keyboard and mouse.

Is the AI worse than death loop ?

Is it possible for it to not suck if you turn up difficulty ?

I took my review for Deathloop from an 8 to a 5 based on that. The gadgets aren't fun when you don't need them.

Damn!... I've never see so many people praying for a game to fail.

I can’t stand how rough around the edges their games look , environments in particular. The PCs on desks in Redfall look like 360 beta level upscaled.

I can assure you it’s in my interest for Xbox to bring the really good stuff. Not the shite the likes of colteastwood say is good stuff, the real stuff.

Yeah that really does look like a 360 game.
There was a spray paint texture on a wall and it reminded me of what I used to see back in the Team Fortress Classic days.

 

[gow3isben]

No matter what side of the divide you fall on, I hope we can agree that launch time review embargoes is a shitty thing to do. People need to make informed decisions prior to purchase.

Especially for a $70 title. It doesn’t also spark confidence in your work.

Or normal people just don’t have to buy games on launch day lol

 

[FrankWza]

If Nintendo or Sony had their track record, they'd be burned alive by the press.

Probably out of console business at least

Watching this, in the dark you can see mostly fine, but when you turn the flashlight on your character model turns black, it's so weird.

Nope. Just a side effect of the over promises in the race to the bottom consolidation game. We all want them to do better, not mire in mediocrity because they slap them on a sub service.

Open critic said midnight gmt which was wrong. It is 1am gmt, same time as launch it would appear.

Go home, Microsoft Store.
You’re clearly drunk.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

I'm hoping it's better than what I'm expecting because my Series X needs some play time, this generation for Xbox first party have been an abject failure and if not for Bethesda they would barely have jack shit this generation now it makes sense why they purchased them their other internal teams must be a fucking dumpster fire something is seriously wrong over there instead of laying off devs at the Coalition they should've beefed them up because that's one of their more competent studios.

Microsoft whole marketing strategy for the last few years has been drumming up console wars. No one want them to fail but when you release trash after a drought and have been talking mad shit, this is what happens.

I can’t stand how rough around the edges their games look , environments in particular. The PCs on desks in Redfall look like 360 beta level upscaled.

When you make AAA titles (or AA or hell even B in some cases) you do pull from huge libraries of existing game assets to populate your levels. Typically the only change they will go through is a lighting rebake (depending on the setting, TOD, etc) or the addition of environment decals to make the asset "fit in" with the hero assets in the level/scene. Especially games with yearly entries (like CoD for example).

There are a ton of newer level designers who entire job is to "crate up" an environment. They basically go through and fill in areas that other designers have not touched, making sure to stay under the poly count, then those levels are reviewed later and easy stuff (to many crates in this corner Margo!) is pulled out if necessary.
