Redfall developer says they were mocked by other developers

On one hand failure should never be celebrated or even accepted.

On the other hand, giving a hard time to devs who didn't make the decisions in the direction of the game seems like a shitty thing to do.

Shitty if true, but without any names or evidences of this actually happening, it sounds more like a well played victim card.

Oh get a thicker skin ffs.
The game's state deserves the flack in and of itself regardless. Even if I do think it getting magnified/scapegoated with ABK-block backlash.

Late to the punch there, game reactor. We had this person's tweets shown off in another thread here like the day after it launched.

Let me ask your “friends” developers works at Microsoft too?

Looking from another view you can take that as a chance to understand what gone wrong and and improve to not make the same mistakes next time.

Ohhhhh but it was a top down decision… so make your voice loud in the company, makes your own part, makes people internally knows the game is not ready to launch at target date 🤷‍♂️

But Redfall suffers from another issues outside the really bad quality of the product but the product itself, the design, the physics, graphics, etc are all bad… the game is just bad even if it was very polished (that not the case either).

ffs take some criticism and not make everything about yourselves. You let down so much people, gamers, you should feel a little let down yourselves for publishing that game in that state. If not then you are just a middling developer trying to punch above your caliber and get caught in the process.

I say good but then again I bet those developers come from companies like EA or Ubisoft or other companies where their games come out just as bad as Redfall. Overall if they took their with the game and if they needed time they should’ve delayed it.

I dont blamer them, i blame microsoft shitty management. They just did what they were told to.
Yeah publisher/company are to blame in all honesty. We've had alot of cases where devs said game wasn't ready but due to the publisher rushing/pushing it had to release in its state. Many of us told ppl gamepass wouldnt be good for games and i said many many times Microsoft would just lower budgets for games to release middling, mediocre shit on gamepass because their budgets cannot sustain high budget games releasing on gamepass.

Microsoft as a company are garbage at game management! We all know this.

That person probably needs a sense of humor... I'd be ashamed too!

Yes people will make fun of you when you f*ck up like this... Not everyone is good at their job, half of the people making games are below average in their field.

Sad Arkane devs are being ridiculed for a game whose issues mainly lie at the feet of Microsoft. Anyone can look at their pedigree and see they are a very talented studio. And we've gotten so many hints that RedFall's dev took a massive change once Microsoft stepped into the picture.

A change that turned out to be for the worst.

All they have to say is MS forced them.

They kinda already did in that IGN interview, just with more polite wording.

Thing is, RedFall releasing in such a poor state is unusual for a team of Arkane Austin's pedigree, even if they took a change in direction. The majority of RedFall's issues scream "lack of budget & time".

So many placeholder things in the game that would've been fixed up if afforded some real time & budget after whatever drastic shift was made when Microsoft stepped into the picture after the acquisition.
