Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 112 | The Truth Behind Redfall Exposed
Added 2023-06-04 16:00:06 +0000 UTCMuch has been said about Redfall, but we could never pin down what exactly happened. Sure, we had our assumptions such as Redfall being a product of Zenimax's push into live service games or that much of Arkane bailed on this project in the middle of its development. All of those were guesses but thanks to a report by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, we now have some answers. What happened with Redfall and how do the Dukes feel? We break down the article piece by piece and react.

Great seeing you up and well, Cog! Gotta push back a bit on the Lord Acqusition talk though: According to Schreiers article Zenimax shifted the focus to GaaS because they wanted to get acquired. Who knows if they had chosen that route if acquisition wasn't their endgoal to begin with.

2023-06-05 20:14:38 +0000 UTCMaybe Xbox canned the PS version because they thought it'd make the game's development more seamless when during playtests it looked bad... It didn't work but that could've been the case!

2023-06-05 02:09:23 +0000 UTCI cancelled GamePass shortly after it released. I can't be the only one. I wasn't looking forward to RedFall or anything I barely know anything about it. It was just another in a long line of trash releases and I'm not going to fund that. If you have the money to actually buy the games you want to play, GamePass is not all that great of a deal.

2023-06-04 19:59:38 +0000 UTCDon't know about that, if Microsoft are hands off with Bethesda studios output ultimately it's falls on the Bethesda for green lighting the project and doubling down regardless of arkanes feedback on how they felt the project should advance.

2023-06-04 18:26:01 +0000 UTCI'll listen in a bit. But I've heard all week people throwing all the blame on bethesda, like Microsoft didn't have a chance to stop this game from releasing. But they didn't, cuz they have to feed gamepass. A bad game is still a game.
