Red with fail?
It looks all great in the trailer but then you look at the price tag and then you see that the game has glitches or bugs and was rushed. Then you see the gameplay and do you even feel like getting the game after this?
Trailers never show issues.
The dark truth of all trailers.
Over hype if anything.
Redfall looks like a fun horror theme shooter game when I watcg the trailer. Hopefully, the bugs and problems will be fixed in Redfall soon.
Read from gamesindustry biz:
Redfall developers have said the disappointing vampire shooter's development suffered from unclear direction, high turnover, and a team that was too small to realize its ambitions.
When Redfall's development started in 2018, ZeniMax encouraged studios to create live service titles following the success of titles such as Overwatch and Fortnite. It also began pushing game markers to make monetization options within their titles, as seen with Fallout 76, Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, and other releases.
Harvey Smith and Ricardo Bare, co-directors of Redfall, explained the project to employees as a "multiplayer Arkane game." However, there was uncertainty among staff that what the studio specialized in would be technically feasible in a multiplayer game.
The project's direction was unclear as management used different games as referrals, such as Far Cry, an open-world FPS, and Borderlands, a RPG shooter. These opposing examples resulted in departments having different understandings of what they were developing.
Arkane's Austin office had fewer than 100 employees working on the multiplayer shooter, with plenty of turnover on the team. By the end of Redfall's development cycle, 70% of the Arkane Austin team that developed Prey had left the company.
Aggravating the turnover problem was ZeniMax's struggle to fill roles following departures, which was attributed to a reputation for lower wages and not convincing developers to move to Texas, a state known for conservative politics.
