MULTI Arkane Austin reveal Redfall (Game Pass, Summer 2022)

[venom]

Damnnnn.. Such a bummer man... Especially coming from a studio that made one my favorite games, Prey.....

Going through the reviews, I dont think the bugs and glitches (however bad they maybe) is the main issue here. The boring open world, writing and gameplay are lack luster itself.

MS getting bad news from everywhere, first that activision deal and now the bad press that is going to follow with Redfall.... I honestly feel bad for them.

Another bad news for Microsoft.

Microsoft, Activision Blizzard Merger Could Get Blocked For Ten Years

If Microsoft's appeal is unsuccessful, then the Activision Blizzard deal could get held up for a decade.

Not a good year for MS fanboys. They are review bombing every CMA UK tweet like crazy hooligans

It doesn't play to the studio's strengths at all . They weren't kidding with the Far Cry descriptor. This is basically Far Cry meets Destiny. Not sure why they name dropped Stalker though.

Now CerebralTiger should have a greater appreciation for a certain developer who made a massive open world shooter RPG with immersive sim elements

I'll have greater appreciation for that developer's games now that they'll run on a far more competent engine

Imagine calling that engine competent when their previous engine has been an utter disaster for open world games. Now you know why they needed CDPR's genre defining expertise

Hey, I know Alex. That's the engine that is terrible with open world games and has piss poor multithreaded performance

 

[CerebralTiger]

Imagine thinking UE5 hasn't already received major streaming tech improvements over UE4

'Bloody Mess', as per Gamespot Review.
Score: 4/10

Review Roundup For Redfall

Here's what the critics are saying about Arkane Austin's newest game.

[Necrokiller]

Imagine thinking UE5 hasn't already received major streaming tech improvements over UE4

"major improvements"

 

[CerebralTiger]

Crytek - tarnished
CD Projekt Red - tarnished
Rocksteady - tarnished

and now...

Arkane Austin - tarnished

So like, which other game studios does Necrokiller like

"major improvements"

LMAO still citing free cam footage

 

[Necrokiller]

LMAO still citing free cam footage

free cam ne bhi game assets hi stream karne hain

But imagine thinking UE4's terrible CPU performance has been "majorly improved" in UE5. YIKES!

 

[Danish_karachi]

I believe Americans have a pathetic lazy work culture that has resulted in one gaming mess after another.
If it weren't for the ultra efficient Japanese publishers aka Capcom, Namco, SNK, Team Ninja, FromSoftware, Square Enix, etc the gaming crash of 1983 would have repeated.

Guess we need to Thank Microsoft for not releasing this pathetic game on PS5.

After 343 Industries, should Microsoft restructure (read: shutdown) Arkane Austin? Necrokiller investigates (in his thoughts)

I honestly was still hoping to play this one day even after the negative reviews but god damn what an abysmal showing by Arkane this time around. Super disappointing.

Every single aspect of this game shows a rushed, copy-pasted, dispassionate approach to it.

I think all eyes will now be on Starfield. And god i really really hope that its a banger of a game.

Almost every first party launch title on Gamepass (as of yet) gives more and more merit to Sony's argument of hurting the quality of games. Redfall and Halo seem to be a clear example of that. I love how passionate Phil Spencer is for Xbox and Gamepass but I wonder how long can we keep our trust in him given that we have seen almost nothing that comes close to Sony's offerings in terms of quality.

Edit: Jump to the conclusion. I dont think anyone can sum up the impact of this game on Arkane and MS, better than this guy. Absolutely spot on.

Friendly reminder that Halo Infinite has a higher Metascore than Bayonetta 3. Y.I.K.E.S

The only thing getting tarnished here is CerebralTiger's fav engine UE4 for open world games.

Unfortunately, when it comes to delivering vast open world environments, Unreal Engine 4's reputation has been tarnished in recent years, with games such as Gotham Knights and Jedi Survivor exhibiting poor performance, visual inconsistencies or both at launch.

...and Ghostwire Tokyo, Hogwarts, Outer Worlds Spacers Choice.

CDPR, please save the future of this tarnished engine

Interesting. So, the fate of gaming rests on UE5.

Let's see how these UE5 games to be released in 2023/2024 turn out. The visuals of UE5 are impressive, to say the least. If they live up to the mark, there is still hope particularly for PC gaming.

 

[Danish_karachi]

Still, I don't believe UE4 is to blame for sub-par performance.

Here is a perfect example of a recent AAA game developed on UE4 that plays flawlessly on all platforms.
