No kidding. Gives the devs a little extra time to add the 60fps mode, drop the always online requirement, and the game would already be in a MUCH better state than what it will be launching in. Both from the technical aspect and PR. Plus it'll give time for people to forget about that awful IGN First display

And sandwiched between Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Tears of the Kingdom, it also makes the game feel like a Titanfall 2 situation. 

Feels like Bethesda send a few titles out to die...

Shit having as bad marketing as Prey 😭

Microsoft needs to go ask Bethesda if they want to delay the game, Lol.

Then convince them to delay the game.

I doubt Starfield will. It kinda goes against BGS's game being super mod friendly. The other games, the devs don't want you changing anything, but BGS are everything but lol. Unless there's some in-game marketplace like Creation Club.

Perfect comparison Tbh.

Except Titanfall 2 was one of the best FPS ever and still got slaughtered

Redfall will probably be good but Titanfall 2 was peak FPS and Redfall is going against Star Wars and Zelda, Lol.

Delay the dang thing to August.

Nah Titanfall 2 just wasn't that good. Reviewed well but was kind a meh game overall.

I don't think Bethesda wants it to fail like Jason says though, kind of a shit take.

But Bethesda does this marketing nonsense too often, and sticking it between two massive titles on top of their typical marketing silliness is asking for trouble, I doubt Microsoft would object to a delay considering how they've delayed practically everything else and their Fiscal Year is already shot up with or without Redfall plus it would only be a few months so what is it? Massive overconfidence?

Like I've said, I'm sure people will bitch and moan (although lots of Xbox fans are asking for a delay already now) but they'll forget about it in a month thanks to E3 and even sooner if ABK closes so the PR hit won't be too bad, and as for the financial hit, FY23 is already bad, write it off, Redfall isn't saving it.

Yeah, May 2nd was already a bad date for Redfall. About a week and a half after Dead Island 2 (which according to previews is a worthy successor to Dead Island 1), only 4 days after Jedi Survivor, and only about a week and a half before Zelda. That is a poor period to launch a AAA new IP into at the best of times, even worse to launch a AAA new IP into a busy period with major missing features like offline play and 60 fps. Delay it until July, the biggest competition there is Exoprimal from Capcom, which like Redfall is a new IP, the other releases for the month are two relatively niche JRPG's (an Atelier remake and the next Legend of Heroes), Hogwarts Legacy's Switch port, and Pikmin 4. Much safer period for Redfall.

One of the greatest FPS campaigns of all time. Take that back.

The multiplayer was worse than Titanfall 1 though.

July works, I keep thinking about a July date but I struggle to think of a single AAA that Microsoft have ever released in July, Lol.

If the game releases and it turns out to be some of the best work Arkane has put out and reviews stupid well, which judging by first impressions it will, I think that will quell a lot of the bad PR it's receiving, but, we won't know for another few weeks. If it's not delayed.
