Character-Full: Why Your Choice of Redfall Hero Will Make All the Difference - Xbox Wire

We went hands-on with Redfall (twice!) and discovered how it blends classic Arkane design with a fresh focus on its four new heroes. Here's how your choice of hero will make all the difference.

Awesome.

I want to see how those dlc characters look like. The main ones are still horrible.

Obligatory "x game is not what we expected" dumb shit videos.

"There's no store in the game, and there's no microtransactions," Smith told me, pre-empting any suspicion the game was always online so it could simply always be ready to sell you more stuff.

Then why make it always online? I absolutely despise the west’s fixation on online services.

Anyway if they remove it I’ll buy and play it.

Hell yeah. That's great news.

From Wario:

Arkane said online req would help them understand how people play using telemetry info to tweak difficulty/accessibility. There is no store/microtransactions

 

[Luipadre]

Its funny how some of the official b roll video footage runs at like 20 fps, 1 month before release

It's Arkane.., lol..

Heh, it's the complete opposite for me.. Had my expectations extremely low and have been pretty negative even from everything I've heard until now. But from watching these previews I already know I'm probably gonna like this game, and for that matter more than Deathloop.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Far Cry + Vampires sounds better than what I envisioned when they revealed this.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

It’s GamePass brah

 

[vaibhavpisal]

You can bait enemies into all sort of traps.

Sandbox elements are proper Arkane.

Strong Dishonoured 2 clockwork soldiers vibes.

Let's not ignore the fact that leaked playtest screenshots clearly showed an 'item store'.

https://www.windowscentral.com/soft...st-competitor-to-bing-chat-powered-by-chatgpt

They'll probably just add the store after release and reviews, like they've done with Fallout 76 'Atomic shop'.

The leaked images were from a play test in September 2021 IIRC, they could have very well changed the entire game structure between then and now.

Or it may be a post launch thing, who knows, at least it won't be at launch.

 

[Dutchy]

And the developers are working to remove the online-only requirement for the single player.

That's great. I hope the people that were defending this practice the other day have learned something about speaking up against unnecessary anti-consumer bs.

 

[Skifi28]

at least it won't be at launch.

That's the most dishonest thing to do though, if you're going to do it at least be upfront about it and don't try to manipulate the fact most reviews don't do updates post launch.


For the record I'm not saying this is what's goint to happen, I have no idea what their plans are, but "at least it won't be at launch" is a bad thing.

Defending =/= Not caring

 

[Punished Miku]

I've never played a Farcry game, or an Arkane game. I don't typically buy this style of game, so maybe I'll be into it. Glad I get to try it out without risk. I'm usually into vampires, so I like that aspect already.

Hoping that they have a lot of fantasy elements in the "alternate dimension" sections.

I hope they end up not removing it so all these losers that were never planning to play the game can fake cry some more about it.

Come on Icemang, you know me. I don't Game Pass. I'll sub when it costs a dollar to sample some games, but as far as subbing on the regular to play the occasional nugget Xbox drops? Nawww.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Watched a video and just got bored even tho I enjoyed even Back 4 Blood. I will prolly play it with a friend but yeah its generic and gamey as fuck and hardly what I'd expect from Arkane. Sad to see a studio relying on making trash like this but whatever, I'll give them my money when its on sale/cheap, maybe this will pay forward for a Prey sequel.

 

[LaughingStock]

Is it running on their shitty engine?

 

[samoilaaa]

this one is a little more detailed

Why haven't you played any Arkane games?

They are the best.

 

[AJUMP23]

I am not really interested in this game.

 

[FoxMcChief]

They are the best.

I think Deathloop is the only game from them I didn’t like.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm into it. Historic income inequality critique? Didn't see that coming.

Elizabeth Holmes would be great for facial motion capture for a villain.

Why haven't you played any Arkane games?

I downloaded Deathloop but haven't tried it yet. No time. I typically don't like first person games much, but I've been able to broaden my taste a little bit through GP. Been enjoying Atomic Heart. I know Dishonored and Prey are popular, so they're on the list. I personally don't think first person is ideal for stealth at all, but I'll try it.

 

[mdkirby]

all I want to know is, as a fan of well told, single player immersive sims, will I like this game? Is the story good? Does it feel like an arkane game like dishonoured or prey....or is it a trash soulless thing made for zoomers that just happens to have some of arkanes gameplay mechanics.

 

[SolidQ]

Far Cry + Vampires sounds better

still waiting first ever game Dark Survival Horror about Vampires/Lycans and other

 

[TonberrysKnife]

For a game running UE5, it's looks kinda rough.

It's not even the same genre or developer, what does back 4 blood have do with RedFall. It sounds like you don't understand what the game is.

They should have implemented Lumen lighting. Look how much it changes Fortnite.

 

[sainraja]

The game is looking good to me. They should early release it so we can jump in right now.

Maybe read better? I never said the game is like Back 4 Blood or made by the same devs. It was just an example of another coop generic trash game, you dumass.

 

[Adam_802]

Super positive impressions, game looking great!

 

[vaibhavpisal]

I think Deathloop is the only game from them I didn’t like.

It's their weaker titles. Still enjoyed it.

In Dishonoured/Deathloop, you get invisibility+ teleportation powers pretty quickly.

In Prey, stealth is temporary till you become super powerful.

You won't be sneaking around in first person for long.

 

[DenchDeckard]

60FPS on console?

I'll probably enjoy it. I didn't buy any Halo games after the 1st one, but I actually really enjoyed Infinite's campaign. (I still think 3rd person is superior though)

"Watched a video and just got bored even tho I enjoyed even Back 4 Blood."

Why is this relevant then? Super confrontational for no reason with a really poor take. The game is an open world co-op RPG shooter btw.

 

[abacab driver]

Sounds awesome, as expected.

"RPG"

 

[wipeout364]

Hopefully it’s good, probably my most anticipated game of the year so far. Arkane is one of my favorite developers, batting 100% so far for me.

[ByWatterson]

Well, I'm out, LOL.

Almost everyone in the West and most in several places in the East, billions of people, live better than kings of old. Environmental problems are caused by the sheer scale of human comfort, not a handful of billionaires. Tripe.

You work for fucking MICROSOFT.

Hilaribad.
