Redfall might be “slow,” but that’s how Arkane likes it

While Arkane Studios' Redfall is a vampire game that looks very different from Deathloop or Dishonored, it'll have the slow, ambient pace of its predecessors.

Redslowfall then.

Lightning77425d ago

Slow as in the pace in gameplay. Instead of just jumping in the game for the first time slaughtering vamps with your powers right out of the gate.

Fun for awhile but will get old fast and has no depth if done that way.

HardKnockKid24425d ago

I’m interested in giving this one a go. I hope it’s good but I guess we’ll see. 2023 is looking to be a banner year in gaming!

SimpleSlave425d ago (Edited 425d ago )

The damage control has begun. The gameplay is out and mid and meh is the only thing that comes to mind. At least it'll have "lots of loot"! With Fruity Loops colors I hope!!!

...Yeah, awesome...

Akrane's Dishonored series and Neuro Shock (not Prey 2017) are absolute classics. Well above and beyond any Uncharted or Horizon or whatever trash passes as Cinematic Adventures Classics now a day. Arkane will be sorely missed.

The irony is that come 2078, the Immersive Sim Genre will be one of the de facto gameplay systems for most AAAAAAAAA Five-Dimensional Virtual for Real this Time Reality™ games. And First Person Perspective will laugh at the Third Person Retro dweebs.

Quote me outside how bout dat!

Now Arkane will be nothing but a Gamepass exclusive dev I imagine. And we all know how that ended for that other legendary studio. Rare how we hardly hear about them now...So sad!

giovonni425d ago

I just think a lot of people want it to fail, so they’re going in with the expectations of it not being good

SimpleSlave425d ago (Edited 425d ago )

No, it really looks that meh. The gameplay is out and the proof is right there for all to see.

But to your point, I don't want this game to fail and crash the studio into the ground. No, I rather the game under perform just enough for it to be a wake up call and bring them back to the type of games and gameplay they did best. But without any loss of jobs, that's for sure.

Make a Vampire game with Dishonored and Neuro Shock (not Prey 2017) style gameplay if they like. With Microsawft money they'll be able to expand on the gameplay while also going all AAAAAAA on the graphics and presentation in order to keep the big wigs and the masses happy.

Now THAT'S why you buy and keep a studio like Arkane around for. That's what you call a Bona Fide 1st Party Developer right there.

Where do you buy drugs from? They must be very good!

SimpleSlave425d ago (Edited 425d ago )

Buy drugs? lol!!! Who buy drugs now a day? I'm subscribed to the Drug Pass Ultimate for only $9.99/mo.

And they are excellent! Only the absolute best of the worst for me for sure.

Congrats on making the cringiest shit I’ll ever read this year.

lellkay424d ago

God this was hard to read.

SimpleSlave424d ago (Edited 424d ago )

No, trust me, THIS will be the cringiest shit you read this year, "Congrats on making the cringiest shit I’ll ever read this year."

Now THAT'S the shittiest post all year so far for sure. Like what the fuck was that, right? The sad thing is that whoever posted that probably thought themselves to be clever, with a badass comeback and everything. But instead came across as a desperate pick me with nothing of value to say in return.

An obvious cry for attention. What a sad waste...

Oh well.

Yeah. I’ll pass this off in Game Pass then.

Absolutely zero interest in playing a bore fest. The game already looks like garbage.

Time for a change. Football games haven't evolved much.

Sorry George Miller, but you’re wrong about the Mad Max game

George Miller expressed dismay toward the 2015 Mad Max game recently, but Avalanche Studios' take on the lore is still so good to this day.

Mad Max is a good game... George Miller should STFU.

-Foxtrot11h ago

I think the funny thing is if Kojima made a Mad Max game it would be so trippy and "out there" I don't think it would feel like Mad Max by the time he's done with it. This is why he's better off with original new IPs.

Kojima seems like a buzz word these film directors use because he's probably the only big name they've heard from the gaming industry.

Wretchedstain6h ago

Article is correct in my opinion, Miller is wrong. That Death Stranding II trailer is bonkers, looking forward to that in itself.

And I agree, unless Mr Kojima wants to change his tune, or laughably, be told what to do, you're right, it wouldn't be Mad Max or close.

porkChop6h ago

Yup, Kojima really doesn't suit Mad Max. Avalanche did a great job though. It looked, felt, and played like what I'd expect from a Mad Max game. I really enjoyed my time with it, and the sand storms were handled incredibly well.

TheGamingHounds5h ago

I never played it but the recent buzz around Mad Max has piqued my interest. Will check it out this year for sure

maelstromb5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

MM is not a perfect game by any means as it was held back by lots of repetitious, standard open-world copy and paste missions, but the devs SO perfectly captured the world, atmosphere, lore and brutality. It also just so happens to boast one of THE best photo modes out there and some of the most impressive explosions I've ever seen in a game to date. The car combat is of course another impressive standout, both vicious and fun. MM is a game which I have revisited multiple times since its release, and now having just seen Furiosa, I can feel it calling me back again.

There's a ton to love there, but I think you'll pickup on the areas where the devs struggled likely due to reigning in the scope, budget and time constraints, leading to an incredibly fun, albeit uneven experience. Though, as mentioned, it's absolutely a game worth experiencing once, and I truly hope you enjoy it. The game really does deserve a sequel.

victorMaje3h ago

Word for word. Exactly this. A lot of fun to be had in there. A true Mad Max game. Sequel can’t come soon enough.

maelstromb5h ago

Honestly, Kojima would do the game justice, but given his studio's current workload, it's a bit far flung. I could much rather see Bend Studios (Days Gone dev) doing a Mad Max follow-up. I'm playing through DG right now for the first time and I see lots of similarities between the games to where imo Bend could develop an impressive MM sequel.

VersusDMC5h ago

While i like the Mad Max game and think it's underrated...i don't know why people are mad at George Miller for not liking the game based on the IP he created. Especially since a lot of people hated it at release as well looking at that 69% metacritic.
