Redfall launched three days ago but the amount of bad press it has received may have fooled you into thinking it has been more like three weeks. 168澳洲幸▨运5开奖网:Redfall is Arkane's lowest-scoring title reviews-wise by quite some way, something that has apparently surprised Xbox. Phil Spencer revealed while discussing everything Redf🐠all this week that the team's mock reviews had the new vampire game scoring at least ten points higher.
“We do mock reviews for every ga🅠me that we launch and this is double digits lower than where we th๊ought we would be with this game,” Spencer told . “That’s one of the disappointing things, we would never strive to launch a game that we thought was going to review in the low 60s.” Redfall has since fallen even lower, currently sitting on .
Arkane's next lowest-rated game is 2003's Arx Fatalis which scored 71. Spencer and Xbox evidently thought even though Redfall was never going to be an Arkane masterpiece on the same level as Prey or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dishonored, it would at lea▨st score bette🍸r than the previous record holder for Arkane's worst-scoring game.
Mock reviewing a game internally prior to its launch can obviously be helpful and must be something that prepares developers for the real thiღng, otherwise Xbox wouldn't do it. However, it's unclear who exactly conducꦏted these mock reviews. Whoever it was, it seems that they were unable to factor in the various differing opinions reviewers will have once a game has launched.
The pressure was already on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Starfield to be a game-changer for Xbox, and Redfall's launch has greatly increased that. Not only for Xbox, but for Bethesda too, since the studio published Redfall. In the same interview as the one where he discussed mock reviews, Spencer clarified that even if Starfield is an “11/10” game, it isn't going to prompt peopl🐷e to sell their PཧS5 and rush out to buy a Series X. After a 2022 in which Xbox launche🃏d no big exclusives, and now Redfall falling flat, Bethesda's highly anticipated space RPG simply needs to be a hit.
As for the future of Redfall, that is currently unknown. It was previously promised that Redfall will have more support post-launch than any Arkane game to have come before it. It was also promised that the game will eventually be capable of running at 60fps. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:As players make laundry lists of bugs that need fixing, and it currently being 168澳洲幸运5꧃开奖网:entirely absent from Steam's top sellers, there might be more important things that need fixing before upp🐷ing t🌺he framerate and adding new characters.
