- The massive Redfall update bringing 60 FPS, stealth takedowns, and increased encounters to the game has arrived. While it currently sits as the lowest reviewed Xbox exclusive in years, many people on social media have claimed the game is fixed and good to go! Is it really? Allow me to take the dive so that you don't have to.

Watching the gameplay I realize: Why didn't they make the game always take place at night? That would have made it slightly better; the vampires could have put a spell on the town that hides the sun 24/7.
The vampires did out a spell on the sun that’s another reason why it’s dumb.
It looks like there is day and night but what you describe it's exactly the story of the game lol, when you beat the game you break the spell the sun appears and the vampires get dusted
@@brionymaste9481 It's so weird that they would have gameplay that takes place in what looks like daytime. I feel like the developers just didn't give a crap.
@@iattacku2773 I vaguely remember that now. So why do they have scenes that take place in the day? It makes no sense. Also, the buildings and structures in the town are so bland. They could have made the town look more Castlevania-like, or even like the town in House of the Dead 2. I think they have a lot of nerve even releasing a patch for this game. It's one of the worst games I've ever played.
They did actually darken the sun, but it was not enough to make it perfectly dark. So there is "shady day" and real night.
My only complaint is that it doesn’t cater to the solo player experience. It wants to be a co-op game. They also need a dodge mechanic
In some games, everyone has a combat knife. In Redfall, everyone should have a stake. It's a very low bar to reach. Elbow takedowns?! vs vampires?!
The game concept sounds very cool, so sad to see the results😂
agreed. the core idea of the game is good but it's lacking a lot of content. I doubt they will sink much more resources into this game but if they did they could turn this into a solid game if they tried.
@@CPreacher40I wish Arkane had made a single player vampire centric game, that would have genuinely ruled
@@irecordwithaphone1856 yah the problem was this was originally a live service game full of microtransactions before they converted it to what it is now. would be great if they could do a remake or sequel done right but I think all the old talent at Arkane left so they need to hire new and better talent.
I wanted to be there for the story and gameplay. If I just wanted great co-op gameplay, I would just dive into Borderlands again personally.
8:39 No I can see the collision box from the "mine" you placed and it shows that even in the transparent space you will still collide with the post. So they most likely used a cube collider. It also seems like they didn't code in any combat code for player's last known location and move to sequence for the ai. That is only speculation though.
I am loving Redfall rn. Started it for the first time when the update dropped
Same. Started today and I’m having fun
@@jeffreysantiago2353 def not perfect, some major problems still, not first party quality. But not broken and a ton of fun to be had
@@CorbinDoesStuff agreed. Hate to say it but it’s Xbox Gamepass worthy lol not a $70 price tag
@@jeffreysantiago2353what bout 17.95 right now for Black Friday deals lol
I ran into enemies all the time. It was actually kind of hard, and I was playing alone so I quit playing until I at least had someone to play with me, if that ever happens.
Same bro i been alone even in gaming for years now. Seems my social anxiety has crossed over to the digital land
The game plays great, playing it more than starfield after the new update. Don’t listen to the hype just play and try it yourself
Thanks for shouting out Darktide! That game is amazing
I am a strange guy, I do like the world of Readfall. It's my chill game. But yes it's not a game I do play when I care of what I am doing
The new “stealth” makes noise and alerts enemies while the previous “punch in the ass” does not, which makes no sense. Not to mention that it is impossible to approach the stealth form of vampires, and it should be! And not having a way to dodge is really annoying, it's almost impossible to dodge vampire attacks, other than going backwards and sideways in a frantic manner! It takes a lot of new changes to really improve Redfall.
Thanks for the honest take. I saw the noise on Twitter and I was planning on trying it with fresh eyes. I’ll save my time and try a different game. Cheers!
Good thing it’s just in time for the release! Would hate to see the player count drop off right after release bc of underdevelopment.
Thanks for the update. I liked the game at launch, but yea it quickly became so evident how unfinished it was. I am VERY happy to see these changes come out, as hopefully this means that they will continue to push more updates for simple fixes like quest markers.
Doing the lord’s work
Game of the generation easy
Bethesda needs to add stealth take downs to any of their rpgs, its basically a staple for the modern rpg lmao
I dont know both of their latest games missed this
nah they don't
too much work for small indie dev
It’s so crazy how they had takedowns in Skyrim and not fucking starfield. Moved backwards in so many ways
Dude, Starfield does not have stealth or melee take downs it’s ridiculous.
I think this is the type of game that I’ll wait for a final update to try out
The game is free on game pass and It’s not worth it bro. Should tell you everything you need to know.
@@gilbertoarellano8525 well that’s why I’m not playing it now, I’ll experiment with it after a last update if they keep supporting it
@@anthonytitone it took 4 moth's to do what they did here so it may be a very long time before you see the last update
No hand stakes in an open world vampire game? All you need to know to stay away
No garlic either?
@@JohnDoe-pu5gkno holy water or ice either
"you can't polish a turd"
Now they just need to add cut-scenes and improve how abilities function.
Always appreciate your honesty and bluntness. But I'm still one of those few people who still like the game and play it, not all the time as I chop and change games a lot, but I do hope there will be some redemption for the game, but I do hope you're wrong in suggesting it shouldn't get too much more dev support, as I think a lot of people forget there was going to be two more playable characters introduced whether they ever come now is a different matter, but that might be why Arkane hasn't given up on the game still. As I doubt they could drop two new playable chars in til they patch a bit more. But like I said I'm one of the few who bought the game on release, and for what the game is, and I'm a very old school gamer, we're talking early 1980s onwards, I'm probably just more forgiving, it's still a fun time if you don't take it too seriously. But as to people saying it's the worst game ever. Oh my definitely not. Could so easily throw Gollum in ahead of it, along with Battleifled 2042, the current Madden and NBA, Diablo Immortal, Overwatch 2 (potentially), I'd have to say most of those listed amongst others I'd have to consider worse than Redfall. But I get it everyone is going to have games they love , games they hate and games they're really disappointed in. Even I'll admit I've played some games people consider are total trash but I still liked them, enjoyed them and played the hell out of them.
Is it at least easy achievements?
I'm playing through Redfall now simply because it's on game pass. Just a little vampire game to celebrate October. I definitely won't be replaying it for missing achievements
What game are you making?
With the 60 fps update, I finally did a playthrough. It’s fine. I’m not as harsh on it because I don’t enjoy Arkane’s other games that much either.
I don’t think the game was treated unfairly though, considering it was really rough at launch.
Some clowns literally sent death threats to Bethesda just because they published the game. More and more gamers are becoming toxic cancerous nits.
Matty doing the Lord’s work
Nice video 👍
The lack of enemies was definetly the biggest downfalls of the game for me, I can deal with alot of trouble biut boredome....n ot really.
So true, I hate a lack of enemy variety. Arkane are often guilty of this, but here it's extreme.
@@jackjude yeah though a lot of arkane games were stealth base, so you don't want a ton of enemies, this is more of a run and gun where lack of enemies means your bored to death hehe.
It’s gotta be so frustrating to work on a game for years just to have it fail out of the gate
It is a fun game.
@@neilwilson5785 not for long once you get use to it you can do every mission and side mission on both maps in 8 hours theres nothing to the game it gets old fast great concept but hardly any potential. without a over haul
To me the only problems were the framerate the game is fine it’s not amazing but it’s average and for a game i play free on gamepass it’s ok for it to be that way they will probably add more content and fix the issues with the game but I don’t care if they do or don’t
I feel like Redfall got a bad wrap. Its not a 10 but its fun. The atmosphere is great. And after the last few patches its a perfectly serviceable shooter, especially with other people. I fond most people crapping on the game never even played.
Concept interesting! Results not so much
I played for about 40 minutes the other night and honestly it's drastically better. I'm going to play this early next year since I have too much to play right now
Sad that you waste 40 minutes on trash
Drastically? This game sucks 🤣. I’ll put all the hours of my life in starfield but I’m not touching Redfall again. The game absolutely sucks.
@@arielvega1206Starfield sucks too 6/10 Boring, Repetitive, Uninspiring and Generic.
@@packlesswolf1 LMAO! Absolute loser take from someone that has not played it past the first mission.
@@sonysoyboysaremadeoftears.7404 no it's not. I beat the entire game and got to NG+ 8. Boring trash. You're the loser for defending it. Beta boy.
I just started playing it after the update, it's a good co op shooter. Setting is interesting, creepy vampire nests, one mission had my wife and I enter a little doll house to find memories of a test subject. Definitely not a terrible game.
Nice b8
great that you guys have fun with the game, nobody want to take that away from you BUT for 70 bucks i expact more! right now it just a much worse "the devision 2"
I don’t envy devs having to make their game’s difficulty scale well between SP & MP. Finally got into it & its interesting gameplay design. Taking on multiple vamps is tricky because how slow weapon reloads & med packs are. It’s kinda fun but I’m not seeing a quality flowState from humans to vamps. World is cool but the gameplay just doesn’t compare to FarCry or Borderlands. Neat idea & maybe I’ll grow to appreciate it more
Love the death note shirt Matty!
Bad take, I think. Not your opinion about Redfall. no issue with that at all. but basically accusing people on twitter of reaching for w's because they like the game now and deem it worthy to say they do. I mean you paraphrased saying im matty and if you like the update and think its a good game now and worthy of saying so, you're wrong and reaching because I say so. Just because you would be reaching by calling it a good game doesn't mean others are too
I think im finally going to jump into this game. Ill delete Forza Mototsport to make room (that game is huge in file size 😅).
I didn't like death loop at all. I liked redfall more. Even with it's flaws.
Yeah, I would just put the team on a new single-player game. In five-six years, they could make something really good again that makes people forget this failure.
not played it myself but it cant be the end, anyone who purchased the upgrade edition is still owed content of additional characters
I think how far they take the updates will depend on if they had future plans for the IP. if this was always planned as a one off game then we probably wont see that much more done to it. If they had plans for it to be a series, then i think they will go ahead and tey to redeem the game.
Thank you for being honest and not fluffing this up just because it's Microsoft. Helps keep your integrity and keep a lot of your viewers who don't like to listen to bullshitters. Keep it up broski.
Ponies really here praising matty for not praising a game. Smh
This game is impossible to fluff it’s terrible.
@@CorbinDoesStuffMatty is a pony who shits on xbox games always he never said nothing positive about xbox
Yeah, this game's definitely up there. With FF16 as being trash when it was released. At least they're doing something about this game, I haven't gone back to FF16 to see if they updated that 720p 40fps "performance mode".
@@blickedxb Are you playing on PC? I didn’t have any issues with it on PS5.
The coop difficulty bug just got me can't fix it tried restarting session multiple times
Well said. Especially the part those single-player master studios, like Arkane and MachineGames, should stick to their masterful craft in single-player games and not chasing those live-service games nonsense.
I 100% agree with you saying the AI is often overlook.
This is my number reason of playing a video game. I don't play for multiplayer but more for realism which real people usually don't do.
Having AI's reacting, searching, talking, moving smoothly, having narrative, given mission, helping, having a purpose, trading, having a story, interacting, these are what makes the game feel realistic.
No AI's or poorly made AI's automatically breaks the game for me. But that is my opinion.
I downloaded the game for the first time but didn't get to play it as yet. Looks like its still not worth playing as yet. If this is all they are planning to do then that sucks. I'd love to see them bring this game back to life, Vampire style, but that might be wishful thinking.
It would be nice to see them layout a road map.
How do you know until you play it. I did the samething with Forspoken but I got it cheap and it's a really good game too bad more of us gamers don't actually give the game a shot before assuming through others opinions...that goes for myself too. Redfall can be a really fun time. You may try it and not like it but at least you actually will have played the game.
It's ok once you get use to it you can do every mission and side mission on both maps in 8 hours theres nothing to the game it gets old fast great concept but hardly any potential. without a over haul. or a ton of updates it will get boring after your first run witch on normal take's about 12 hours and thats doing everything in the game i beat the hardest difficulty eclipes in 8 hours while doing every side quest and main quest. so it gets dull quick i beat the game 4 times in 48 hours so 2 days doing everything the game has to offer.
Thank you Matty 🙏
Wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy
The game is as soulless as Mephisto himself!!
Nothing will improve the game to convince people to buy it, not even this "big" update that fixed next to nothing.
Sad to say I played this game for like 5 days straight at launch, but haven't touched it since.
Have literally two missions left to finish the game. 😫
it took you five days it took me 12 hours on Midnight that was doing everything in the game and then i beat eclipse difficulty in 8 hours while doing everything in the game so i did that in 2 days 48 hours. i explored and did every side quest and main quest
Just because he doesn't like it, play the game and decide your self, I love the game
Exactly....tf!! Im so tired of these youtubers swaying ppls opinion b4 they can make their own
Yeah. I've been playing through it this month on game pass to celebrate Halloween. Not that bad and fun with having my little brother join for co-op
Just a few, gaming come back stories. Elder scrolls online, skyrim on ps3, cyberpunk, batman arkham knight on ps3, sea of thieves, fallout 76, no man sky, gta online, fortnight had an abysmal launch before battle royal. That's just a few i came up with in 2 minutes of thinking. Games can be saved if the teams have time and believe in the product. Time will tell if the team really wants to make redfall good.
I think the only thing I have a hard time forgiving is when a game comes out, it should be good and work at launch no exceptions. I cannot stand when companies worry to much about deadlines vs producing quality and this is why I always wait a year or so before buying anything these days.
The game plays ok, but when in coop, the enemies are a push over. Then the developer nerfed dome player favs like the stake gun ammo. Still I would play. My concern is how this game is called AAA. It is very short. This is Arcane 101. You finish wondering where the game is.
the worst part is when playing you get the feeling that the developer did not wanted to make this game and was forced...
Theirs still no live match making. You have to respond to posts looking for a group. It just makes it that much harder to jump in and have fun
I installed this game again. Was happy to see i now can play with 60fps.. And i really like the game
Dude, Lies of P may be game of the year for me.
Thank you bro saved me 13 big ones
The semicolons on your timer thing are funny. My nephew has autism and I guarantee he'll laugh out loud when I show him the screenshot I did of it.
The gunplay is pain
The lack of melee animations is very disappointing
At least it’s not as bad as kong skull island
I just looked at the steam page of Redfall and saw 34% positives all but 71% positives recent. Most people say that this game is now okay just not worth the full price
The AI is actually almost identical to the AI in dishonored
And deathloop
I think the only other update that's worse than this , is The remnant 2 update that just dropped today. I'll just go and wait for Lords of fallen to get fixed on console and then while I wait. I think I'll play Alan Wake 2.
It always surprised me that people gave “Arkane” Shit over the shift in this game over their others.
For years before this game and even DeathLoop came out; people from that Studio left to others pastures, to where by the time this shit-storm came out, it felt it was made by a whole other studio.
Which it essentially was.
They didn't even want to make this game.
wrong
@@ObiWanShinobi67Wrong too
@@overheatedeskim054then please; go ahead and explain my guy.
@@overheatedeskim054 from an ign article:
'These sources claimed Redfall struggled with a misguided vision, staffing issues, and more. Things allegedly became so bad at Arkane that, despite having put two years into Redfall at the time of the Xbox acquisition, staff wished it would be rebooted as a single player game or cancelled altogether'
Get dunked on, nerd.
It's 60 fos now. People bitched about it. Now you can play it.
Imagine if a studio like gearbox made a coop game like borderlands in a vampire setting.
After Borderlands 3 being a massive letdown it would be trash too. I have no faith in them anymore. BL2 was peak Gearbox.
@@packlesswolf1 honestly I enjoyed prequel and 3 more than the first two but I am BL casual who only really plays for the loot
@@packlesswolf1 The worst part of Borderlands 3 was the writing; too long, too cringe, too boring, or all three. The gameplay is the smoothest, interactive, and responsive it has ever been in my opinion but replaying it is just unintriguing because of how poor the writing is. If they focused more so on the linear experience, less on the open world checkmark-esque missions, and expand on build specialization then it could be better.
I know you have a Deathloop bias but you can't say Arkane are good story tellers and mention Death of the Outsider over Deathloop
6:16 totally get you Matty and agree with you.I even saw one tweet claiming it's a game of generation which is laughable 😂
But,I also hope Arkane will move on,in addition Lyon is definitely doing something in the meantime and even though Deathloop had its drawbacks,it was a great game if we don't compare it to say monumental masterpiece Dishonored 2
I don't know exactly what's coming next,Dishonoured 3 or Deathloop 2,but I hope Arkane remains true to what they do best- single player immersive sims with stealth-action as gameplay priority.Pls Arkane,learn and deliver next time
Matty a few months ago “I’m never playing this game again”
Matty Now “I played the game so you don’t have too”
Man, at this point these videos are only for views because they don’t offer much.
This is Arkane Austin not Lyon. Whether people like to admit or not, Arkane Austin has not had the commercial success that Lyon
At least they fixed some of the technical issues, but you can't "fix" a bad game, with bad game design. This isn't an Arkane game, and the only way to fix that is re-design the entire game.
I really think they shouldn't waste their time with this game and just move on. Games like Cyberpunk and No Man Sky had a ton of issues at their launches, but they had a great foundation (Cyberpunk more so imo) that they can build on. Redfall has nothing going for it. It just isn't worth it and the more they spend on this game the longer it takes for us to get a potentially good game. But at the same time maybe it doesn't matter. The great devs from that studio are all practically gone.
This! Pin this at top!
That's fucking heartbreaking to hear. Prey is one of the most impressive, engaging and deep games I've ever played and honestly kind of taken aback that Matty didn't like the ending...personally, I in NO way saw that ending coming and I thought it was brilliant. Mooncrash was just the incredible cherry on an already fantastic cake, and I deeply hoped we'd get the next entry. Is it really that bad at Arkane now? Have their Dishonored and Prey all really left? Like all of them? If so, they're doomed. Their very unique style of brilliant and unique storytelling mixed with brilliant and unique universes and character powers is what made them such a massive powerhouse in the gaming industry. If all those brilliant devs REALLY are gone, and Redfall is the studios new talent level instead of Prey (what an enormous fucking jump in quality...FUCK) Microsoft should close the doors on them now and save them a lot of money and the fans a lot of heartache 🤬...😡....😤...😒...😮💨...😕...😫...🥺...😞...😢...😭 *** The stages of finding out Dishonored/Prey Arkane have become...ugh Redfall Arkane
I hope y'all are exaggerating a bit...fr
Redfall does have a decent foundation with its world. This game kinda reminds me of Sea of Thieves in a way because only when they overhauled that game and added like story quests did it become really fun. The basic gameplay loop of Manning a ship with your friends and fighting other ships gets boring after a while but the new quests made it one of the best coop experiences, if Redfall gets more content like this, I can see it making a comeback somewhat or atleast becoming serviceable
Why wasn’t there a hand stake weapon. Not nit picking. It’s the first Damn question I asked when I booted it up.
TLDW: NO.
Redfall is not worth it
Matty i might be wrong but i believe i had read Arkane had moved on from redfall and roundhouse was doing the updates for Redfall. Hopefully that is true
Maybe but Spencer promised that xbox would continue working on the game until it got better.
But Matty
It’s not a coop game.
You have to have friends to invite in order to play.
There is no match making so your screwed playing alone in an online game
Played the game for a couple of hours when it first came out and then i uninstalled redfall. I thought the game was dog crap. But now with the 60fps update i re-downloaded the game and i am having fun with he game. is it perfect? no. but its so much better than what it was at launch.
Objects being out of proportion with characters is very strange.
Nice shirt Matt 🤙
Might give it another try
16/32 GS achievements have stopped me playing, my OCD couldn’t handle it😂
Thank you for playing the game for me
Haha
Matticus Playticuss
At 6:15 I agree one hundred percent. I like Xbox games plenty but some of the apologists need to rein it in a bit. Redfall blows and I am happy to see them putting in more time, two patches it not fixing this dumpster fire.
It took 5 or 6 huge patches to get Cryberpunk to its current state.
@@LicoriceLainexactly everyone was complaining about cyberpunk 2077 and how many game breaking bugs it had. Or how many times you were kicked out of the game. 7 updates later those same people are singing the games praises saying it's one of the best games of all time, it really turned around etc. 5 more updates should turn redfall around.
You can polish a meh game as much as you want and it will still be a meh game
EDIT: Love the Death Note shirt!!
I cant be the only one who noticed the drastic drip in quality of arcane games once Microsoft took over....
Absolutely love Arkane.
I have pc gamepass, so is Redfall worth playing now?
Does it have a solid solo single player?
Only good co op
@@loitersquadX kk never downloaded it.
So the solo portion sucks?
@benprins8240 no it doesn't suck but it's not fun without friends in my opinion. I'll tell you this. Every game u play is an opinion on a good or bad game . I don't like any ps5 exclusives besides Spiderman. I like red fall more than infamous . Alot more . I play redfall with a group and it was a great experience for me it was a 7/10 maybe even more. We had fun. Got mad. Had scares , and it was good. I played solo on the update and I like it still but not as much. Check it out and give it a try. It's not the best game ever. It's a decent game and if you play with friends and enjoy it that's the best thing ever bro
@benprins8240 the solo portion doesn't suck it's just really hard to play on hard difficultly, having a friend or 2 feels like that's all they had in mind since there's not much talking and not much really to do besides the story missions . But I have a bias towards black ops 2 zombies and in my opinion this is like zombies but better because the story gives objectives.
@@loitersquadX k I like solo.
But eh I'll try it out
Xbox fans ain’t reaching, they’re just saying that the game is in a much better state then when it launched

Just like what they did to Rare, Microsoft and Xbox will Buttfuck every studio they buy out. With the first Xbox Series X Exclusive being Crossfire X we are gonna experience another decade of disappointment.

They honestly should just mothball Redfall. There is no fixing that game and it would take No Man's Sky level of updates to make the game anywhere near to what it should have been at launch. It's just a total embarrassment to Xbox and Xbox fans
