FAQs

Why did Redfall turn out so bad? ›

So while it's been held back a few times, it still feels like a live-service game. No one apart from Arkane and Arkane's ex-staff know for sure. But it seems entirely likely that the reason why Redfall is so “bad” is that there was a shifting and overambitious vision of what the game was meant to be.

They did what most game companies do nowadays. Partially fixed the problems months after release instead of releasing the game in good condition from day 1. But the bad reception will always be remembered and the hype is gone.

The two biggest criticisms I heard of Redfall were that it was extremely buggy and that the enemy AI was utterly broken. Neither panned out in my experience. The only significant bug I encountered is one where enemies appeared to fall through the game world and get stuck underground.

You actually can't have any kinds of romantic relationships in the game, which was confirmed by the developer in a video called “Bringing Redfall to Life with Arkane Austin.” These vampires are those who chose to become monsters, and the game is all about demonstrating that.

"Ultimately, Redfall is a game that should not have been released yet. Its litany of bugs hampers the gameplay loop of exploring its world with friends, and that loop itself feels compromised by elements that are poorly executed and ill-suited to the team implementing them.

Specifically, the release of several DLC, with additional playable characters, skins and other cosmetic content, is still pending. Part of the community has already lost hope and believes that it will never arrive.

Bethesda now says Redfall's new heroes and other deluxe edition content won't arrive until sometime in 2024. Redfall is still getting updates, but its tiny playerbase isn't happy about the ongoing lack of promised new content.

There are a variety of vampire types in Redfall, each with its own unique skill set and powers. Some of them look similar to one another, but they can be distinguished by the names appearing above their health bars.

“... I think there's a fundamental piece of feedback that we get that the game isn't realizing the creative vision that it had for its players. That doesn't feel like a 'Hey, just delay it. ' That feels like the game had a goal to do one thing, and when players are actually playing, they're just not feeling that thing.

That's the important part, and Redfall is made so you can play through the campaign solo and you don't have bots with you for the other characters or whatever. You're just purely solo. You pick Layla, Jacob, Devinder or Remi. You're alone, you go through the world.

Will Redfall be like Borderlands? ›

Redfall offers a compelling mix of Dishonored, Borderlands, and Buffy | Ars Technica.

When focusing on the main objectives, Redfall is about 12 Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 31 Hours to obtain 100% completion.

Redfall subreddit mods were surprised that Redfall isn't an Elder Scrolls 6 game.

Truly, Redfall isn't that different. One is inspired by Tarantino, the other one by Carpenter, but the flaws of Deathloop have been greatly downplayed by the medias, while the same flaws have been overblown in Redfall.

Yes, Arkane Studios is still working on Redfall. Here are a few public examples that confirm this statement.

Arkane Austin confirmed on Wednesday via Twitter that its upcoming vampire hunting game Redfall will be launching with a Quality mode only on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. The game will run at 4K on Xbox Series X, and 1440p on Xbox Series S, with 30 FPS in Quality mode on both consoles.

The game also runs badly on console, but honestly, the 30 fps of it is probably not even on the top 10 list of things I dislike about the game. Making the top 5, however, is map and quest design.
