I mean that's what arkane lyon is best at- single player worlds with unique aesthetics and solid mechanics. They excelled in what they knew- just some Microsoft exec forced then to do multi-player which was WAY out of their skill house
I would agree that they deserve credit for pushing this update except for the fact that it's mostly stuff that should have been done ages ago. They put out a total pos game and after a year, their studio getting shut down and canceling the dlc they'd already sold to people, they managed to get the game to what most people would consider to be a minimum playable state for an online shooter. I know it's not totally Arkane's fault, but I wouldn't applaud them for finally getting the game up to where it should've been at launch on their way out the door.
That's what I was thinking. It's good that they didn't drop the game completely, but why did it take the death of the company to get it to a mostly functional state over a year after release?
I disagree. This was their last update before finally closing down and shutting the door behind them and they implemented features that should've been in the game from day 1. Not to mention the game crashed three times in this video. Twice in a row. It's simply not good enough. It sounds harsh but if you apply this level of incompetency to other places like construction, firefighters, heart surgeons people would be up in arms "We did well with the previous fire but this time the guy forgot to bring the ladder.....we'll remember next time though!" and quite honestly some people just aren't cut out for their desired profession. Thats life. Maybe they should make games as a hobby and look for a career elsewhere
On a positive note, Arcane Lyon that developed Dishonored 2 has escaped Microsoft's death grip, which means we may one day see a third installment of the game. Also, if you learn that Microsoft is going to buy the company you work for, it's a good idea to start looking for other opportunities before it's too late.
Yeah. Good on Arcane for delivering the last patch. Before Redfall released, I was really excited about it. The idea of a shooter about a team of humans in their firehouse base trying to reclaim their village from vampires is still a great game concept.
I never really had any interest in Redfall but then I saw this update. I wanna try the single player pausing that they added. I am a sucker for bleeding edge technology.
Unfortunately I havent seen any news covering that, which I think is illegal for a company to do...However, Im also not sure if that purchase only followed "Arkane Austin" or the greater Zenimax for legal liability as I didnt buy that...
if anyone reading this feels burned by Redfall, i cannot recommend picking up Prey 2017. i put it off for years but last year i finally played it and loved it. its a shame Arkane Austin never got the chance to make a sequel. heres hoping Arkane Lyon can still get the chance to cook
Or better yet, not buy garbage games like Redfall *or* Suicide Squad and instead save your money, save your time, save yourself the headache, and I dunno, go get a burger or something. That would be a better value, that's for sure.

Clearly the developers are capable of creating a quality game so now more than ever I have a feeling the publisher was interfering and forcing them into making a certain type of game including the online requirement. With all these fixes the game plays more like an Arkane game. I hope the developers are able to continue to follow their passion somewhere they can be creative and develop the types of games they want and that they enjoy playing.
Hey wait... You mean I don't have to be signed into some server with an undisclosed expiry date to be able to play a game that I spend money on? I might actually bother giving this a go now.
this is so sad to me. Dishonored is my favourite game of all time. Arkane was forced to make a live-service looter when their strength is in stealth single-player (even just look at the great, critically acclaimed Prey 2017). The game unsurprisingly flopped and now the studio is being shut down. As a Dishonored fan, this is soul-crushing. I'm French and when I was in uni studying to be a sound designer, my dream was to get into Arkane Lyon, that's how much I love this studio and IP. I can only hope that Arkane Lyon will develop another Dishonored now that the Austin studio is closing. I fucking hate Microsoft, man.
Out of curiosity, if this is the last update, what happened to all the dlc characters. They just pull the plug in them. If so, how is there no class action or massive wave of refunds for the bite back edition.
The funny part is that, after so much drama, this update made me interested in the game. Might buy it someday... Arkane was great. I mean... to me, Prey is legendary.
One cool and important update that Everyone is missing Is that they added infinite ammo and it doesn't shut off achievements. You can find the option under the Accessibility tab
I hope another publisher scoops this team up, buys them a new studio to work in, because they have the talent. They have never made a multiplayer game like this, and it's no surprise that it didn't work out. Prey was my jam and the hope for a Prey 2 is gone.
The real message of the day is stop being complacent to LIVE SERVICE games. AAA games can still be great, but when they are live service games they almost always suck
I’ve just started the game after dropping it 30 minutes in at launch. 5 hours in and it’s a bunch of fun. It’s Borderlands x Farcry with a cool creepy suburban vampire setting. The game could’ve been great but I’m glad it’s at least good enough and I’m going to finish it in the next few weeks.
"You gotta give the team credit for sticking with it and seeing it to the very end they worked hard and delivered" *crashes twice in a row* rofl. Thats what we're here for 😂😂 love it.
I think Tango was even worse to shut because they made a proper game with almost no bugs and still got the axe when some other studios have recently done worse than them. I am happy I never got into the gaming industry like I wanted to when I was younger.
Can't screw up chess... Microsoft exec watching this and going "so what if the preorder deluxe bonus will be a pawn with +1 movement and a $30,- queen skin . Oh and if you grind enough your towers could get +1 lives..."
It's bittersweet knowing this is the last update. This is what the game *should* have been at launch. I'm just glad an offline mode was added so this will be playable forever.
Well forever is a bit of a stretch, since eventually it will be incompatible with the newest hardware and OS versions, and there won't be any updates to address that. But at least it will be playable for a foreseeable future.
Of course Phil Spencer once again does his best of "Don't ask for permission ask for forgiveness" mentality on game release causing another disappointing release from AAA gaming studios marked at $70 released as a disaster.
It's over fam. The game is officially being laid to rest. RIP Arkane Austin and RIP Redfall...

The funny part is that, after so much drama, this update made me interested in the game. Might buy it someday... Arkane was great. I mean... to me, Prey is legendary.
At least it has offline now. Perhaps modders can make something of it.
One cool and important update that Everyone is missing Is that they added infinite ammo and it doesn't shut off achievements. You can find the option under the Accessibility tab
Luke: "We're still gonna have those live-service mess games".
**Cough** (Concord) **Cough**
Concord looked interesting until they said it was a 5v5 FPS, and that completely killed all interest in it.
I hope another publisher scoops this team up, buys them a new studio to work in, because they have the talent. They have never made a multiplayer game like this, and it's no surprise that it didn't work out. Prey was my jam and the hope for a Prey 2 is gone.
The msg of the day should be stop supporting AAA gaming companies.
The real message of the day is stop being complacent to LIVE SERVICE games. AAA games can still be great, but when they are live service games they almost always suck
@@og_dith3865 nah its the AAA which is the issue because that became the benchmark
It’s over? Please it never started!
That ending was PERFECT lmaooooooooo
The developers a 100% added offline mode so that the game would be easier to crack and pirate lol
I will say this, i'm glad they implemented an offline mode and single player pause.
How the hell was vampire boyfriend an actual idea real people had. This game was the first ai game ever as far as im concerned. 😑
It is pretty quirky, though.
This is the AI that made the first Will Smith spaghetti eating vid
I’ve just started the game after dropping it 30 minutes in at launch.
5 hours in and it’s a bunch of fun.
It’s Borderlands x Farcry with a cool creepy suburban vampire setting.
The game could’ve been great but I’m glad it’s at least good enough and I’m going to finish it in the next few weeks.
*"the final stake in the coffin"*
Soooo no refunds for the undelivered DLC?
the DLC was refunded
I'm glad they allowed the team to add at least the online mode.
Did they finally add a sprint animation?
Poor Luke, he almost seemed to be having a good time for a few minutes.
go ahead, send the crash report
Do you mean we won't get the next-generation 8k 120 fps with the new xbox update?
This guy would turn his own mothers funeral into a video for content.
Yea this was what the game was supposed to come out as. It seems like it was supposed to be fallout esc but Microsoft wanted it's live service hit
Ain't no way in hell am I giving anyone in any circumstances credit for following through on their promise.
It's really cool to see this stuff available for those who did enjoy the game but at the core it still has a lot of problems.
"You gotta give the team credit for sticking with it and seeing it to the very end they worked hard and delivered" *crashes twice in a row* rofl. Thats what we're here for 😂😂 love it.
I appreciate Luke playing its final update. But still, it’s a downfall game that left us disappointed
It's wild this update wasnt already in the game at release.
I think Tango was even worse to shut because they made a proper game with almost no bugs and still got the axe when some other studios have recently done worse than them. I am happy I never got into the gaming industry like I wanted to when I was younger.
Did they add any characters people might want to play as?
Man Prey didnt capture me at all what am i missing? I think i uninstalled it after 30 minutes or so.
this product is hilarious and sad at the same time
Can't screw up chess...
Microsoft exec watching this and going "so what if the preorder deluxe bonus will be a pawn with +1 movement and a $30,- queen skin . Oh and if you grind enough your towers could get +1 lives..."
Did they ever add the dlc characters to the game?
Pretty sure that was canceled a while ago.
@@Sorain1 sad
That vault animation is crazy
I love the dishonored series and prey. Sad to see them go.
They finished the homework but turned it in late lol😂
It's bittersweet knowing this is the last update. This is what the game *should* have been at launch. I'm just glad an offline mode was added so this will be playable forever.
Well forever is a bit of a stretch, since eventually it will be incompatible with the newest hardware and OS versions, and there won't be any updates to address that. But at least it will be playable for a foreseeable future.
Luke: it's pwaying pretty good now
Me: :O
I hope the ex-Arkane Austin staf finds good jobs with bosses that DO care about human lives.
The first game I think of when hearing Arkane will always and forever be Dishonored and prey
No one will be like Satoru Iwata ever again. Man cut his own salary when the WiiU was failing to keep his employees employed
Of course Phil Spencer once again does his best of "Don't ask for permission ask for forgiveness" mentality on game release causing another disappointing release from AAA gaming studios marked at $70 released as a disaster.
It feels like your char is 20 percent too small, everything feels huge
I love how "functional" is a 7 or 8 out of 10 in todays review enviroments
So did they ever add the season pass characters yet, or what?
