I find it really hard to get excited about Redfall's coop since the host is the only one gaining progression apparently.

This is how a lot of coop games work.

If a game is good as SP experience, Dev's expect you to jump in and out with randoms without affecting your progress.

And if you have a set of friends with whom you will play entire game, then that doesn't matter who get to keep the save. You will be playing the whole thing with them anyways. This is how I plan to play.

Oof, thats a bummer if so.

So probably no host migration or anything like that? If the host leaves or loses connection, the instance is dead.

Yes.

How else will you design it?

Say you played with a friend but couldn't join next day. Then you could join the next day, so you have 1 day gap.

If everyone will get save file, game will assume you played the day you were absent.

It depends on the game design, and having said that I dont even know what kind of coop its going to be in Redfall. If you only get booted back to your own gameworld I guess its ok. Back4Blood had host migration but thats level based and Redfall is an open-world game. Maybe it works like in State of Decay, where you host a session but then you can run around in the same big envionment. And not just a single level. There was no host migration in Warhammer Vermintide 2, which sucked because the screen went dark and you got booted back to tte title or hub with nothing left for the effort, if the host left. But thats also level based and not open world.

Exclusivity.

I will be honest here Starfield being exclusive is a big deal for MS but nobody has ever cared about Arkane.
It's like Ghostwire.
