Redfall ruined. hype went to 0.

yeah. Screwed this game.

this is online only game now. was wandering it was least interested arkane game but now its bottem of barrel.

hope arkane make Prey 2 or dishonored 3 after this. or even deathloop 2.

My Xbox has always been online since like 2002 or there abouts so, no biggie at all. lol :P

Wow, and it’s $69.99 coming from a $2 trillion dollar company!

With that headline I thought they had added a female protagonist or something 😲

they have. 2 female 2 male. doesnot matter.

now its online only.

Atomic heart is what getting my attention now.

When does the review embargo for Atomic Heart lift?

Also we can look forward to this video.

review for eastern european games? who cares.

thier games always have more quality than western games but they always review low.

I'd be playing this on PC so it doesn't matter too much to me but it would to those who play offline on consoles I guess. I remember the backlash Polyphony got for GT Sport needing to be online only. And of course, servers went down for "maintanance" and locked you out of the game. Here's to hoping they don't do the same here.

harder for TC to pirate the game, hence the outrage

They advertise this game as SP game. but now its all about online only. the recent footage was underwelmingly told us game build with coop in mind.

No problem, my gaming systems are always online. I just think the game looks pretty boring so far, and that pricetag is not cool. Can just resub to gamepass for $1, but I'm not very interested. Not yet anyway.

Damn, that sucks for piracy. 0/10

its on gamepass lol.

Like GT7?

A game that's always online just tells me that it will inevitably get shut down completely once servers are shut down. I wouldn't waste my time or money on something that is doomed to disappear once it's no longer profitable, but that's just me.

Don't you remember Don?

What happenes to a gamepass game when your internet drops out?

Yeah, that sucks.

No biggie for me. My xbox, playstation, and pc are constantly hooked to the internet anyways. The issue I have with the game is it looked pretty dull in the trailer. Not at all what I expect from an Arkane game.

@ghosts4ever: no more pirating options for you? Well, online service in games has been available for 20 years. Right now it's mandatory.

The game looks amazing, I'll be enjoying it for sure.

While requiring an internet connection to play the single player portion of a game does kind of rub me the wrong way realistically speaking my internet almost never gives me problems plus I’ll be playing this through Game Pass anyway. So it gets a, “Meh. Whatever. 🤷‍♂️ “ from me.

My heart is broken because of this . I really love Arkane studios, but with all the recent backlash of red falls latest showing , I feel this game is doomed :( .

Day one for me baby! My Xbox and PS are online 24x7x365. Let's fucking go!

Don't forget it's not just about your internet. I their servers pause for any reason it could lock you out of the game like GT Sport and GT7.

Quite the "nothingburger" post...

@Zero_epyon: Well that would certainly suck.

GT got some lower scores because of always online lets see how the gaming media reviews this and if their memory is better then a gold fish which is about a month

@ghosts4ever: It is my understanding that you pirate your games, so I understand why you are upset.🤭

Was Deathloop also always online?

I hope every game Ghost is excited for goes always online.

😂

the focus of this game is coop. it was all lies that its SP primarily.

the last gameplay actually feel bit underwelmingly but i was still interested. but now the lost all interest.

No.

OT: I'm less hyped for Redfall after the recent reveal, in general. This isn't that bad to me. But I'm not interested in the vampire mythos. Pass.

You played the game?

I warned you that this is a Destiny wannabe. MS saw the money Bungie is making, and decided to force Arkane to make one of these shit games.

Nicking 70 quid games makes him based, as the kids would say.

Robin Hood

If it doesn't affect performance, I'm not worried about it. But I think it's weird that other AAA 4-player co-op shooters can be played offline and this one can't. I guess that rules out mod support

This game has been marketed as a PVE multiplayer game since the first trailer several years ago. If this is a surprise to you, you haven't been paying attention to Redfall.

Company saying they "need to raise game prices" while simultaneously dolling out billions for Blizzard.

Got the right idea. Denying a shark blood.

Hmmmm, this doesn't help with my concern that this has been designed primarily to play with others, and not solo.

Well, it has MS DNA written all over it. Don't know if Arkane really wanted to make a coop/MP game, at least their pedigree isn't like that. Guess we will never know if it was Arkane or MS ala canceled Fable online or Scalebound coop. Anyway, will playit because Arkane has yet to make a bad game.

Yeah, I hear you. I much prefer solo myself. Dig a little digging and found this quote from the dev. Take with a grain of salt, I suppose. But it sounds like they're definitely not snubbing solo players.

“A huge emphasis for Redfall has been the solo experience, in keeping with Arkane’s passions,” says Co-Creative/Studio Director Harvey Smith. “All the games we’ve made overlap in a bunch of creative ways, though no two are exactly alike. Redfall is an open world game, but it can be soloed with any of the heroes. The pace becomes more exploratory; you can use recon and stealth to gather info on encounters and avoid enemies or get the drop on them.”

Who fucking cares, honestly?

Gamers say they don't want to spend $70 on a video game, while at the same time blowing hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on single items or pieces of clothing in mobile games.

Face it, gamers are as worse as the companies you love to bash so hard. And the people thinking they can truly change the world from behind their computer screen, facebook account or by stealing... Jesus christ, truly the worst of all in desperate need of a reality check.

GT7 was in similar state, so technically Redfall will feel the same treatment if not worst than GT7 got. Anyhow, I'll play it on PC as I'm always online anyway.

I don't get it, the people online complaining about it obviously have internet. Feigned outrage. If there are people truly outraged and upset by this, those people will be suffering in silence, or using pigeons, I dunno, but not posting about it on social media that's for sure.

Well this is disappointing news, but I'm wondering if I am past the point of being outraged by things like this.

Still, this is the first step on the way to what looks like corporate influence. I wonder if MS will do to Arkane what they did to 343i.

Still looking forward to the game, though. It is Arkane, after all.

It's definitely a "it's the principle" type of thing, but internet is pretty unreliable in a lot of the US, and often absent in rural parts of the country. Can't count the number of times I've come home on Friday after a 60-hour work week hoping to play a game only to have my internet out for the weekend.

In either case, I feel having an always-online connection for a game that doesn't require online gameplay is the publisher creating an unnecessary inconvenience for the consumer.

Additionally, this is simply a form of DRM, and we've seen time and time again that anti-piracy measures like this do little to combat piracy, and a lot to inconvenience the consumer.

still want Prey sequel from Arkane. but sadly game underperform because its too hard or complex for masses.
