PeterOvo the brainlet. Imagine the gall trying to cram RedFall in the same sentence as Elden Ring and Zelda as if it's ANYWHERE on the same level of quality.

But you need a working pair of eyes and an IQ higher than 2 in order to realize the obvious. We know PeterOvo at least lacks the latter.

The character and enemy models look terrible. Compare these to GoW or Horizon.

Hell, just compare them to High on Life, another Xbox game and probably closer in budget to this (might even have a smaller budget). That blows the pants off this game in terms of character models, animations, art direction, visuals, gunplay etc.

Comparing it to GoW or Horizon, you are basically asking to obliterate RedFall off the face of the Earth.


Just saw this. They pointed out more visual glitches I didn't catch before, like when the character throws the proximity mine and it briefly disappears after being tossed before reappearing. The Rook's phasing animation through the roof in the house looks janky due to lack of visual particle effects and portals on the roof for the Rook to phase through.

All of these things add up to a generic visual presentation.

It looks like last generation game. From grqphics, models, animations. But its from arkane , they re media darling. It ll manage 80 on meta or somwthing.
It doesn't even look like a last gen game. It looks like an indie game made by 15 dudes in their off time from their real day jobs.

I dunno what all of you are seeing.

this looks like the biggest, most ambitious game Arkane has made.

It looks terrible, I guess both statements can be true though

During the first reveal I was mildly interested but every time they show the game it looks worse and worse

It could have been a PS+ banger!
A banger for sure. Curated by Shu himself.

In all seriousness. It pales quality wise to Deathloop. If they can at least bring QA quality up before launch they may at least avoid a DOA and allow the "fun factor" to live/die by its own merits.

I don’t think graphics look bad. Character design for playable characters is terrible tho. Overall art direction is fine. It’s readable. Pet peeve of mine and when devs do it right it’s a good sign. Anthem is an excellent example of terrible execution with this… you had zero idea where enemies were. They just bled into environments. The uber realism to its art direction made everything turn into mud.

Also, it’s a multiplayer game… which naturally look nowhere near as good as single player games. Hell, I hate it when games use lower quality assets for PvP side of games in general. Warzone 2 sure as hell don’t look anywhere close to MW2’s campaign for instance.

Can’t judge gameplay so easily without hands on. I’m totally not interested but it doesn’t deserve the same drive by hate Suicide Squad does.

Still think it’s gonna be a fart in the wind tho.

I like arkane, i lkked deathloop even if looked like a subpar ps4 game, but this thing look hideous, art design, lighting, animations, etc and thats no the worst of all, its líke a medley of all the things most People are jaded right now in gaming, people who hype this are doing that because its a xbox exclusive and they are fucking starving for triple aaa quality games
