Microsoft/Xbox did not believe in Redfall and wanted to end development quickly.

Reviewers seem to not care about performance at all, except for Days Gone and TLoU Part I PC every game with terrible performance I can think of got great reviews including Cyberpunk, Skyrim, Jedi Survivor, Elden Ring and so on.
SF will also have the Xbox tax lol

Morale is all time low with ecosystem, and any negatives from SF will be extrapolated.

Nah, if anythihg Xbox games get a score boost from all the shills and Xbox focused publications. If Redfall was a PlayStation game it would get a red score and if Horizon or Spider-man were Xbox games they would get a 90+ score easily.

This. Comparing Horizon with any Xbox 1st party release (looking at halo) is like comparing cologne with piss, yet their meta scores are similar.

Let's be honest, this is a coop shooter that took 5 years already. It's problem is with the design and style of the game. No amount of delay would have made it better. Delay would have made it less buggy and that's it.

Look at Jedi survivor, it came with shitty performance and stupid bugs, but it was still well received. Because the game is good at its core.

The buggy, shitty performance release is on Microsoft, but the shitty game is on Arkane.

Also, the game was marketed by Microsoft as a AAA game. I don't believe they were not interested in it.

Funny that Xbox fans wanted MS to get credit for Hi-Five Rush (that they pretty much sent out to die with no prior marketing) but now want to blame Bethesda for Redfall.

Bethesda is MS now, so it's all on MS good or bad (mostly bad though).

Yep, if you want credit for Hi Fi Rush, you also get blame for Redfall.

What rings false about the "MS didn't believe in Redfall" narrative is that MS probably pressured Arkane to make a looter shooter in the first place. It's not their wheelhouse at all.

Grubb....


Jez Corden : "I can confirm MS had no involvement in the decision to delay/release Redfall, but maybe they should have. This is a straight Youngbloodening."
Jeff Grubb : "I'll say about a month ago I was talking to somebody and they mentioned, 'yeah Redfall is going to be a disaster.' I'm like well let's wait and see, well I guess I should have trusted him. He knew what he was talking about and it's like.... that was coming from the Microsoft side. So I was like 'well you know they're aware' apparently, or they were aware. That it's in rough shape."
Jeff Grubb : "The understanded way it works at Microsoft is they don't change anything, they let the studios just keep doing what they're doing and barely interfere at all. You know interfere, they barely like manage it at all, it's like 'well the managers that were there before we hired them to and they're still managing those studios."

Everybody know will say MS has not involvement or already expected it to be bad lol

And Grubb with the usual... I know that months ago but I didn't say anything because it was about Xbox :D
Or he is lying or he hold the info due being MS bad news.
