The Disaster of Redfall
Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/GVMERS
The popularity of multiplayer experiences such as Overwatch and Fortnite awoke in the gaming industry a sudden interest in live-service endeavors capable of generating recurring revenue streams. Even publishers and developers that seldom dabbled in online titles wanted a share of the spoils. However, as with several other trends in the multibillion-dollar business, pursuing these ends often proves a gamble-this ZeniMax Media and its subsidiaries learned the hard way upon releasing Redfall.
Developed by Arkane’s Austin, Texas branch, the team behind Dishonored and Prey, Redfall promised an open-world, co-op adventure with “capitalistic vampires” as the antagonists. The game tasked players with beating back the supernatural threat by using specialized weapons, stakes, and abilities. But at launch, greedy bloodsuckers hardly seemed the primary cause for concern. Day-one adopters on PC and Xbox consoles found the experience beset by copious technical errors affecting performance, enemy AI, texture pop-ins, character animations, and multiplayer connectivity. Worst still, while it could host up to four players, the cooperative shooter lacked matchmaking functionality. The storied Arkane Austin lost years of established goodwill in a matter of days, and Redfall’s player-base rapidly dwindled alongside it.
Fans and non-fans of the Dishonored creator wasted no time blaming Redfall’s failures on the fact that an outfit best known for story-centric immersive sims had tried its hand at conquering unfamiliar territory. Meanwhile, executives at parent company Xbox Game Studios stood before the slings and arrows, ready to accept the lion’s share of fault for the disappointing launch. The truth is-nothing is ever as simple as it seems when it comes to game development.
This is the tragedy of Redfall.

    I loved all 3 brothers in arms games. It was just so fresh at the time. Nothing we have ever experienced before. A 1st person shooter and stragedy game. Loved the realism and story. I loved the gameplay. It was so dark and grim. I loved how isolated the game made you feel and what it must have been like for the paratroopers going behind enemy lines the d day week. It's you and your squad against a whole bunch of nazi platoons. Using real stragedies that they would use to find cover, provide support fire, while you outflank them. The enemy A.I. was so on point and dangerous too. I loved the weapon swaying and sounds of gunfire and bombs going off. There is no epic patriotic music...just the sound of beating drums telling you, you survived through some patrols and gained some yards to the next nazi occupied piece of land. Clearing out one France country land after another. While other games gives you all this loot and reward for getting to the next level...you feel the reward for outsmarting the enemy, clearing your sectors, and making it to the checkpoint knowing you were smarter and more resourceful then the enemy. I love brothers in arms and really wish we got that sequel to Hells Highway. What a tragedy. I say we start a petition to remake these games to last and current Gen graphics at least. Then another for proper sequel to Brothers In Arms 3. 😔🫡

    SF2 has always been one of my favorite games, if anything im glad (albeit baffled) that we managed to get the original trilogy as the first ps+ classics available. I cant say its in the realm of possibility, but a similar remaster like the recent tomb raider trilogy would be perfect for the original sf trilogy imo!

    The "Saints" fell due to going TOO WOKE with the reboot. Once you lost the "thumb the nose at GTA" vibe and allowing players to go more "sarcastic/adult-focused", it just wasn't a "Saints Row" anymore. They wanted to BE a GTA-clone, NOT their own thing anymore. And TOO afraid of offending people by pulling back into more "woke mentality" and ended up offending EVERYONE who was looking for a GOOD Saints Row experience.

    This video has really quelled my annoyances with the Dragon Age fanbase. I had no idea that the toxicity went as far back as the previews for DA2. Now with Veilguard on the way and pretty much everyone having something negative to say about it, I understand that it's just par for the course. I know I'm excited for it and I'm confident the development team has done their best to deliver the best experience they can.

    These were 2 gems I sadly missed out on. I don't know how. I was a resident evil guy in mid late 90s early 2000s. I liked doom. I played alot of different games during the ps1 and ps2 and dreamcast era. I always seen it at places you can buy games from.especially the orange box. Somehow I just never picked it up. If this video was around back then I would have immediately got it. I have ps3 ps4 and ps5 but I don't have a pc or Xbox to play these.

    This game had potential for being the best online 3rd person shooter game, it has its own approach and touch and not just being a copycat from another, and lets not even mention the amount of freedom you have in customising your character, car and even your clothes and death theme song, this game has a whole god dam adobe illustrator + 3D modelling + DJ softwares inside of it and u can use all of it to customise ur character the way you want, something u nvr see in other games, its main problem is that it got handed to wrong ppl aka little orbit who basicly didn’t know what to do with it so they decided to ask streamers for options on how to make the game fun for all players when those streamers and specially the 1 calling him self Kampington who suggested things that only worked for him as a streamer to make his gameplay look better and the CEO took his feedback seriously and applied everything he said without thinking or hesitation, that most of it player base leave the game bcz the game is not fun anymore, they kinda tried to go with the BR trend but their own “creative” idea of BR sucked ass to the point that it didnt bring old/new players and its just holding its last breath with barely 150 live players, its so sad to see this game dying bcz like i said it rly had potential and if it was in the hands of company that rly cares about its player base it would survive, the game was perfect the way it is it didnt need the bold changes made by streamer, it needed an update, it needed new maps new ways of gameplay like new mechanics, new missions, new game modes, mini + big live events, even when they added BR mode to the game if they actually added the BR mode the way it supposed to be a BR without trying to be creative it and with the right marketing strategy it could’ve worked, but what happened happened and its already too late now to do anything to fix other then just shutting it down and trying to a full remake with a complete new start, the game is dead for now

    Got introduced to Just cause when it was on discount. Had low expectations but was blown away by the freedom of the open world. And it spoke to the 6 year old boy in me, blowing stuff up and shooting everything that moves. There isn't another game that replicates total chaos like a Just Cause game. The wingsuit gives you a lot of freedom and works well. JC3 is awesome, number is mostly a decent upgrade but the tornado I didn't care for. Heard in 2022 they were working on JC5, but haven't heard anything since. Hopefully hear soon as Im worried it might be canned in the end. 😎
