I mean when it’s all you have besides starfield I could see itI don't believe this for a second, this game was their "one more thing" a couple years ago, it's been consistently positioned as a key part of MS' lineup, it was marketed heavily, it was a big part of their directs in 2022 and 2023, and Satya Nadella explicitly mentioned in this game in his conference call a week ago. I find it hard to believe that they invested all this space in a game they did not believe in, I mean this is more than Sony gave Days Gone lmao.
Is it? Really? Because I'd get that, I'd be all for that.Redfall was also an ambitious game.
They just weren't talented enough to make it good.
Yeah, but traditionally the narrative has been "next E3". Recently it seemingly has changed into "next console gen".Isn't it always the NEXT thing?
Yeah, completely different studios and teams in different continents. Bullshit rumor.Do Arkane Austin and Arkane Lyon share team members? Because I have some trouble seeing why Arkane Lyon's next big game would make Microsoft rush Arkane Lyon on RedFall and send it out to die.
Unless that cash budget is shrinking for all the teams as a whole and Xbox management couldn't throw yet more money at RedFall if it meant less money for Arkane Lyon's next game. Could see the connection in that case.
Uhhhh…isn’t the next big thing StarField?Another excuse and wait another year for the next big thing.
Yeah, I’m not buying it.
Microsoft clearly had enough belief in it to make it their “Oh and one more thing!” hype reel package at the 2021 Not-E3 Xbox and Bethesda showcase.
Yeah, but traditionally the narrative has been "next E3".
It won’t cut it if there’s already a competitor. This is what a lot of MMOs launching after WoW faced - there was just much more content there. Now new games do not have the benefit of doubt - if you fail at launch people that tried your game will go back to their old one, and new ones will not come because “they heard it is a bad game nobody is playing”.IMO, Redfall is GAAS title day 1 release. This is how they come out.
As crazy as it seems, I'd sell it for $70 US too.Didn’t stop them selling it at top price.
Agree. I said as much in the review thread that Microsoft believed in this product, but certain people got so angry at me for saying this they blocked meMS believed in this games so much so that they even canceled the PS5 version…
I disagree. Why would a company intentionally take a negative PR hit? Especially in these circumstances?
Besides, it is launching on GP day one. It wasn't gonna lit the sales charts on fire anyway, so the ROI isn't really a part of the equation. They aren't gonna recover it from game sales anyway.
I believe XGS really thought they had a wonderful game on their hands. Let's look at the facts:
They really thought they had a gem at their hands that's worth name-dropping in earning calls, announcing as a special game to close their Showcase, and asking $70 price tag.
- They didn't delay the game.
- They charged $70 for this game. This is the first game Microsoft is charging $70 for!
- Phil Spencer revealed this game in their 2022 Showcase as the "before I go, I have one more thing to show you" special announcement. For reference, Sony closed their show with God of War Ragnarok.
- Satya Nadella name-dropped Redfall in their financial earning calls last week (!)
Maybe it's getting late and I'm not understanding, but he works at a french retailer store, but also at Arkane Lyon at the same time???
