Microsoft Redfall (Xbox Series/PC) - Open World Co-Op Shooter from Arkane, update: Doritos/Mountain Dew/Rockstar Energy Drink cosmetic DLC now available!

Looks cool. Main concern is that it looks veeeery slow (hallmark of console-first design, with PC being a port), but it's entirely possible it's that way for trailer purposes. Many games do that to make them look cooler. I'll wait for future actual gameplay videos from real people to make a decision on whether to buy on PC, but it's definitely on my radar!

[BloodyHell]

I think it looks like a blast. Definitely looking forward to get friends together and go all two corey’s on their asses!

If you have GP Ultimate it’s free on PC as well. And you can get 1$ pc game pass trials

I have a feeling that this game's commercial performance will make it seem like it did.

[Mercury33]

I’m sure it’s great but I can’t seem to get excited for this in anyway. 

[Mr.Vic20]

Since its first announcement, I haven't felt an ounce of hype around this title. I'm sure it will be a good game to play because the studio making it knows great game play. The problem tends to be that they make games that don't click for the wider spectrum of gamers. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but I would be surprised if its a hit. 

[Keyser_Soze]

But are you interested in these skins and new heroes?

Bethesda’s Redfall needs to be online for single-player mode

ARSTECHNICA.COM

---

Shooter continues the controversial history of the "always online" solo game.

 

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

I'm really puzzled as to why this requirement has seemingly come as such a surprise to so many people.

[Bacon]

I am outraged.

I was never going to get, but I am outraged. Livid even.

[Keyser_Soze]

You have to be online for the Hitman games too, or a ton of other games.

 

And

 

[JPDunks4]

I've never been bothered by any of this.  I Game share so i can't play any of my games if im not online anyway.

While I'm always online and have excellent internet, I don't tend to care... but I do care in the sense that while my internet is great, developers are pieces of shit who take their game servers down ASAP, so would them taking whatever servers this connects to cause it to become unplayable?

 

Let's not forget that even multiplayer-exclusive games with large populations can have their servers taken down just a few years later. Hell, if it flops hard enough like Rumbleverse you don't even get one year!

I completely understand being disappointed that a game that ostensibly has a significant single-player component (as Arkane claims this one does) contains an always online requirement.  My puzzlement is that anyone would be "surprised" that this particular games has that requirement considering what we've seen of it so far.

 

Disappointed? Sure - I totally get that!

Surprised?  Not so much.

[AbsolutSurgen]

Online requirements were controversial 10 years ago.  In 2023, there are only a small group of people who care.

The people who are mad about always online are probably the same people that refuse to stop using Windows 7.

Oh, I'm not surprised at all. If anything I'm surprised by how many games don't have online requirements!

[Dre801]

Don't like it, but not surprised.  No interest in this one anyway.

 

As for the Bethesda account thing. . .they're owned by MS now, why can't they kill that off and consolidate it down to just a Microsoft account?

Crossplay between all versions of the game (Xbox Series/GamePass/Steam/EGS) confirmed:

 

[TheLeon]

Oh good, so I’ll have a wider net of people to not play with. 

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

 

[Keyser_Soze]

Probably one of the best trailers so far. It's looking good.

[Enlityn]

This game is on the radar after that trailer + co-op combo! 

[stepee]

Is this UE5? I’m anticipating that this will be good but I won’t quite get it until I play it. I feel about it like I did with Deathloop before actually playing it, and I loved that game.

According to Wikipedia it is.

[Dodger]

I’ll be checking it out day one. I still need to get Deathloop but I keep bouncing around games and there is just an onslaught of games first half this year.

Seems most are positiive, though PC Gamer did say they weren't impressed.

 

I enjoy looters and enjoyed Dishonered, so if its a nice mix of both I'm definitely down.  

 

 

[best3444]

I've always been a fan of this game and I have no doubt it will deliver.
