Redfall Deploys A Small Hotfix Update For Xbox & PC, Here Are The Details

I literally downloaded this over the weekend and deleted it after 15 mins. Whilst better than at launch, it's a game of really poor quality. Just a small example = the running animations

@CharlieChooChoo As @Kaloudz states, its not about 'appeasing' the few that maybe purchased it at/around launch to try and tempt them back, its about the long term, the 'value' of Game Pass etc.

Every year, there are new 'gamers' joining the Xbox ecosystem and/or gaming for the first time. The fact that they can play 'Redfall' as part of a Subscription service means that its 'important' to MS to have 'playable' and 'enjoyable' games across a wide spectrum of genres etc to 'appeal'. Maybe the game, its 'story' and/or style isn't 'your' prefered taste, expecting Arkane to do something more Single Player and more like Dishonoured or Prey - but others may 'prefer' the co-op nature and/or setting/story - especially if they had no expectations or 'preconceptions'. If they read the review, the game is likely to exceed expectations today...

i really enjoy killing those hateful vampires ever since redfall is 60 fps with a fov slider.

Still think this game is real good. Played it through twice. Solid 8 for sure. Liked it better than Starfield. Again, my opinion.

Remove the ***** Bethesda account requirement or I'll never try it. MS has owned them how many years now? Those extra accounts shouldn't exist anymore. Never should've to begin with.

@Romans12 I played through Redfall in Spring/Summer of last year. Overwhelmingly on PC. Issues at launch were not nearly as bad as reviewers' copies, but still pretty bad. PC performance was surging between 90+ fps to drops into the 40s.

The game certain had an appeal despite the issues. Finding the safehouses, clearing the board, and freeing each neighborhood sucked me in. I put way more in than I expected or would have liked (45-65 hours). The lighting was also pretty cool; multiple distinct sources bouncing off your hands and weapons. IMO, the second map was much better than the first.

There were many issues besides performance and QoL. Playing through it was kind of like an investigation into game design. Some aspects were flawed from inception (not uncommon) and others were as if we got to play the game too early.

Just curious as to when they plan to release the 2 new characters. Kind of sucks for those who spent $100 on the game to not even give them an estimate on when to expect them, it has already been about a year.

@Kaloudz
I completely agree with your comments. But wouldn't it be nice for games to ship on Day One with the quality they are by the end of year one?

I like that MS/Arkane are fixing the game, but it is kind of sad that I didn't even think about playing or buying it day one because a good 50% of hyped titles ship on day one in a beta/alpha state.

Kudos for fixing the game, but I respect HiFi Rush, Diablo IV, Starfield, and Forza Motorsport devts much more simply because they shipped in a solid day one state.
