Why not cancel it... Yet again... I think the game is really fine :D I like it; took a break of it to start my first Age Of Wonders 4 game right now; but will keep going tonight. |
That matches with my suspicions at least, it definitely feels like Xbox had no faith in Redfall and just wanted to release it asap so that Arkane Austin could move on to a new project, instead of giving them the time they needed to either retool it into a more Arkane like game or to build a better looter shooter, feels like they just decided to release it unfinished so that Austin could move on. It was a project that was greenlit under Zenimax before the acquisition afterall, Xbox had no say in it's creation and likely would have known that trying to force an immersive sim studio to make a looter shooter was a bad idea.
