Redfalls

Redfall's release week hasn't exactly gone smoothly, but if you feel that the game's controller aiming feels a bit weird, that's one problem that you might be able to fix. Several players went to social media to complain that aiming in Redfall feels less than desirable on a controller, with large deadzones and a sluggish response.Important notice: out of the box, the game feels horrible to play on a controller in my opinion.Change "Input Response Preset" to low and you'll instantly have a much better…

Judging by reviews and early impressions, Redfall is a resounding disappointment for Xbox and Bethesda. Hyped as Xbox’s first AAA release in over a year and one of the most significant things to come from Xbox’s 2021 acquisition of ZeniMax Media, Redfall isn’t quite living up to those lofty expectations. While I’m still working through the game myself, I’ve played enough to know that this open-world vampire shooter pales in comparison to Arkane’s previous titles and its co-op shooter peers. Coming after one of Xbox’s…

Taking a bite out of your VRAM We’re under a week away from the release of Redfall, the open-world vampire shooter from Arkane. And if you’re getting your PC ready for what’s in store, Arkane has published the minimum, recommended, and ultra specifications for prospective PC players of Redfall. Unsurprisingly, this game will take a hefty bite out of your tech to run. While the minimum is roughly what you’d expect, getting Redfall up to Ultra is going to take some solid hardware. Also, it appears you’ll need Windows 11…

Right before I got to go hands-on for 90 minutes with Redfall, Xbox’s big spring exclusive, creative director Harvey Smith set the stage by introducing a new trailer focusing on the first-person shooter’s story. All I knew about the narrative up until then was that there was some failed experiment that turned a small Massachusetts fishing town into a vampire’s paradise. I’d soon learn that the real catalyst is much more politically charged: A group of ultra-rich elites working at a pharmaceuticals company called…

Redfall, Arkane Austin’s co-op vampire shooter, has a new story trailer that gets to the heart of just what happened to Redfall, Massachusetts. Apparently, some bloodsucking scientists at the mysterious Aevum Therapeutics did a bit of medical malpractice and accidentally (or purposely) summoned ancient vampire gods in their quest to attain immortality. As a result, Redfall got flipped turned upside down by the ravenous gods, and it’s up to our four heroes to slay the gods and save the city.The trailer starts with a…

Arkane Studios and Bethesda finally confirmed a release date for Redfall during today’s Developer_Direct showcase. The cooperative open-world, vampiric first-person shooter will come out  May 2. The Developer_Direct showcase spent quite a bit of time on Redfall, highlighting both its single-player and multiplayer content. Its part of the show started with a look at various combat zones and safe areas on Redfall Island, where the game takes place. We then learned more about some of the enemy types players…

Redfall’s cooperative gameplay comes with a pretty big caveat – you’ll only get credit for beating the mission as the host. Following its gameplay reveal at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, Redfall has been quite the topic of conversation. And for good reason, as it promises an open-world take on the classic Arkane Studios level design, tons of unique gameplay elements, and cooperative play for up to four players. Unfortunately, while speaking to IGN after the game’s reveal, game designer Harvey Smith made it…
