Noisy Pixel posted their review then took it down (seems like it was posted early by mistake), the score? 4/10!

Oh dear

You are trying to sound smart yet you are clueless. For starters, Sony does develop their own studios (Team Asobi being the most recent one), but nearly every studio Sony buys out tends to be companies that work so closely with them that they were never on Xbox to begin with. They essentially were funded by Sony with most game projects, so it would make sense at some point to just buy them out. Its a completely opposite situation with Microsoft, which is essentially just sucking up third party studios that never usually made games specifically and only for Microsoft.

This.

Redfall Review - Noisy Pixel

[Dick Jones]

Is Noisy Pixel Xbox's Stevivor?

 

[Desprado123]

PS has placed them self for their AAA as a best story telling, Cinematic game experience, and best graphic but for MS even they do not know what they want for their Xbox brand.

 

[Sweden85]

Is Noisy Pixel Xbox's Stevivor?

Nope, gave Forspoken 4,5 for example.

 

[Nvzman]

. . .clever. Console warring in a thread not likely to get much attention. Solid plan you two.

Also commenting on it passive aggressively like a snarky prick is definitely not helping either. I was just commenting on the lack of context in the users post. I don't really care otherwise. I will try Redfall on game pass and maybe enjoy it, or maybe I won't, I ultimately could not give less of a shit about reviewers opinions at this point. I have no foot in the "console war" (I own both a Series X and PS5) and will likely end up trying Redfall on PC.

They are never getting another code again. Every PR agency is blacklisting them right now.

 

[DJ12]

With 'paid' reviews this will be at least 85 on metacritic.

 

[Nydius]

…but for MS even they do not know what they for their Xbox brand.

In my opinion, Xbox has been in an identity crisis since both Bungie and Epic wrapped up their involvement of Halo and Gears, respectively. Since then it really feels like Microsoft has been stumbling in the dark, trying to capture past glory.

Forza, both Motorsport and Horizon, has been their only constant.

 

[Tarnpanzer]

High 60s max.

MS has all the money but they could not get the talent, R&D and invest in house engine like Sony did and created visually the best games even their games are benchmark for PC games like Uncharted, God of War, The Last of Us Part 1 (The port has issues, but graphics are amazing) etc.

It is simply a Management issue.

 

[mckmas8808]

I say a 75.

 

[Thyuda]

My guess is between 60-70, cannot imagine this going any higher.

 

[Solidus_T]

Guessing mid 60s, maybe even lower.

 

[drganon]

Somewhere between 65-70.

 

[XXL]

From reading impressions this morning, it's seems it not great AND broken.

This isn't going to score well.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Without Game Pass it would flop 100%

 

[Astray]

It's not even a well-written review either.

 

[X-Wing]

I’m guessing between 40 and 90. Now who among you will gift me gold if I’m right?

 

[F0rneus]

It looks like MS wasted money on Bethesda.

Edited.

Right...What about the very niche franchise Elder Scrolls?

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Yellow piss metacritic typical Microsoft gamepass GAS.

 

[midasmulligan]

A vampire shooter @~30 fps? Should get MC score of 65 by default. Will get 75-80 given the score inflation fueled by bag handouts.

 

[iorek21]

I really wish Arkane would just focus on tight experiences like Prey and forget these new recent attempts.

 

[Skifi28]

Now who among you will gift me gold if I’m right?

 

[Warnen]

50-60, even if game is ok gonna launch in a shit state.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

If the vote brackets were 77-82, I'd have gone for that.

 

[Ywap]

PC -> Solo play -> 90

Easy

 

[brian0057]

Given that it's Arkane, an 8 or a 9 out of 10 because game journos are hacks with shit taste and with spines so weak they may as well not have them (and some don't).

 

[reksveks]

How many of Arkane's games haven't flopped commercially?

 

[F0rneus]

Given that it's Arkane, an 8 or a 9 out of 10 because game journos are hacks with shit taste and with spines so weak they may as well not have them (and some don't).

Or...Arkane made a limp, buggy game with floating and weightless animations and combat with bullet sponges enemies that don't react at all, a world that looks unnapealing and bland, and that barely looks better than The Sims 4 which has cooler vampires to boot. Just saying.

 

[XXL]

This. All I want is a sequel to Prey, I love that fucking game.

Tbh, between this and Deathloop, Arkane is starting to worry me...which is insane.

 

[Tg89]

Low 60s. Game looks like dogshit even without the technical problems. Uninspired open world trash that somehow manages to appear 10 years behind even Ubisoft design.

 

[Bonfires Down]

74, 75

 

[Flabagast]

This is going to be a disaster.

That's a big shame as Arkane was one of the top 3 devs of the PS4 generation

Still, gunplay and exploration stay consistently fun, thanks to the satisfaction of taking down enemies and the level design.


???

 

[Laptop1991]

60 to 70 is my guess, then again Deathloop got 10's, so i've no idea really, it could be anything.

 

[LordCBH]

My prediction is 50%-60%. Though some outlets may skew that with outlier reviews.

 

[Sanepar]

Arkane never delivered a bad game. Can't believe ms missmanagement destroyed one more studio.

 

[SlimySnake]

I honestly dont know. These GaaS games come off badly in videos but there might be fun to be had here. If I had to guess id say 65-69 but my gut says it could be much higher than that if the gameplay is fun.

I read the review. It seemed a bit amateurish or poorly written to me. Perhaps it wasn't fully edited and isn't the final version that'll be on the website. But I don't think it was a great review personally.

 

[Calverz]

Any Xbox thread I enter on this forum is filled with the same 7-10 people, absolutely frothing at the gash for Microsoft’s failure. Do these people not have a life? Or do they actually play games?

 

[feynoob]

70-75 overall.

Current arkane needs something else. This isn't working out for them.

People like to clown on companies, when they are down and praise when they are successful.

It's human nature.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

The key talent behind Prey and Dishonored left after Prey. The founder of the studio. This was due to Bethesda actually, not MS.

 

[Punished Miku]

It's terrible. I have a friend that works at Arkane. He told me they had cool graphics, and then MS came in and told them to make shitty graphics.

 

[DR3AM]

Is there an embargo on the reviews? If yes, that's usually not a good sign. I say 70-80%

 

[manfestival]

I put 70-80 but really starting to think 60-70

 

[fermcr]

In spite of all the hate the game is getting, mostly because it's not releasing on their favorite plastic box, looks to me like a 70-80% game.
