Redfall has not added new heroes on its first anniversary, despite developer Arkane Austin charging players for the Hero Pass at launch.
Arkane Austin has just released Game Update 4, the final patch for Redfall which is 16GB in size and adds an Offline Mode.
I'm not interested in this game but i think it's great they added the offline mode for those who are.
Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.
Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.
There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life
No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.
I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’
Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.
No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
Hanzala from eXputer: "Redfall was a bland, repetitive game with no post-release support; it deserved to die, but why kill Arkane Austin over one mistake?"
What short memories everybody has. According to the internet they became “the worst studio” after redfall… the internet made redfall a bigger deal than redfall just being a shitty game becaus *gasp* Xbox bought them and” just wanted shitty gamepass games so quality wasn’t a priority”.
(The reality was it was just rushed to market to fill a release hole).
Everybody wants Xbox to fail but as soon as closures start happening suddenly that was never the hope at all and Xbox is just evil.
What has happened to humanity. Being so extreme with viewpoints paints everybody into a hypocritical corner where the side of the story your on depends on which side makes Xbox look worse. Read the internet. Your disagrees are lies.
Shame. Gamers never want to accept their role in all the shit.
My heart goes out to those laid off. Not sure why those studios had to close but I suspect they were costing more money to operate than they were brining in revenue. It does cost money to fix games. Cyberpunk’s road to redemption was prob approaching the price of the original game.
That sucks and I’m angry about it but that’s also business and I’m in the same boat myself at my job as we speak… so it’s not like I don’t have sympathy. But I’m tired of the short memories, the lack of true empathy and opinions being driven by branding. Disgusting.
Refund everyone and kill this game off.
One of the few industries where you can actually steal from the customers and it's considered okay.
More proof you should never buy day one, especially on that console, it is sad how they’ve treated their fans this generation.
They hype and tease products but fail to deliver mediocrity at a time in the industry where the playing field is more level than ever and most games score a 7 or 8.
This was a disgusting money grab to not only put out what they knew was an inferior product, but to then offer more expensive versions for the “real fans” is a rip off.
Consumer confidence needs to be restored over at that money hat corporation if they ever want me to buy an Xbox again. The one game they have that I really want to play, Flight Sim with the new update, is also being held back on consoles so that the dlc plane money keeps flowing on PC. When will they release this game on console properly? Just sad and sketchy moves this Gen.
Anyone surprised?
The Bite Back edition is still up for sale so i doubt they aren't working on it. It will probably be dropped at the next xbox showcase for marketing purposes.
But it has to get released. The game bombing can't be an excuse as the Forespoken season pass content got released.
