I wonder how solo play will be handled, is it a solo game built first then added co-op or the other way around. Also I wonder if doing co-op you need more than 1 to play or if you can have just 1 friend.

The game looks sick I love the atmosphere of the game and love the sniper dude, also the robot :smiley:

Couldn’t they just show it at E3 with a like a 8 minute gameplay demo then do a E3 extended again and go into it more and release it in like August

I assume they could and should have, it would have avoided all this confusion I guess about what this really is. For a “one more thing” game I definitely think it shouldn’t be a cinematic only.

104

I think they had to replace Elden Ring, I’m 100% sure it would’ve been the last one more thing instead of Redfall. Things must’ve been removed because it was suppose to be 90mins but it was short like 8 minutes or something like that. Next year I can see them doing a gameplay trailer with a release date then after the show do another E3 extended to get more into it.

I think Elden Ring was out of the cards since months, as usual marketing with Bandai is very ephemeral (for example in my country Bandai still send PS review copies for Scarlet Nexus, which has a clear marketing deal with Xbox) and MS would close its show only with long trusted 3rd party (like EA or CDPR).

As I already said, Redfall problem was a combination of new IP and studio with low mainstream recognition, if at least one of these two conditions was true, it would have been received much better.

So the game is directed by:

  • Harvey Smith as Creative Director (Director of Dishonored, Dishonored 2, and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider)
  • Ricardo Bare as co-Creative Director (Director of Prey: Mooncrash and Lead Designer on Prey, also Director on Dishonored DLCs (The Brigmore Witches and The Knife of Dunwall))

Also saw this supercut of the abilities/weapons from the trailer on Reddit

Layla - Psychic

  • Telekinesis - Can move objects and reload her weapon.
  • Lift - Seems very similar to Lift Field from Prey, creating a column of inverted gravity that affects her and allies.
  • Psychic Parasol - A massive crowd control attack that knocks enemies back (given that she carries a real umbrella around to do this, she also might have other abilities related to it).
  • Clairvoyance? - She might have been the one hearing voices when the Angler (special vampire) was near. Could be something similar to Wraith’s “Voices from the Void” ability in Apex Legends.

Jacob - Sniper

  • Invisibility - Seems very similar to Zer0’s Decepti0n ability in Borderlands 2. He may also be completely invincible as well while cloaked, since the Angler missed him, or maybe he just dodged in time. Since he had to decloak before shooting, the ability may not allow attacking while invisible.
  • Raven - Jacob has a bird companion similar to Mordecai from Borderlands 1, but it’s implied to be used for scouting more than for attacking. This is described as a “Spectral Raven” in the press release.
  • Vampiric Eye - Jacob’s right eye is dark similar to a vampire’s, but glows before he takes a shot. Maybe this could be a dead-eye type ability that gives the player better aim when sniping?

Remi - Bot Wrangler

  • BribĂłn - Remi’s companion bot. The name can mean “Rascal”, “Sly Dog”, “Freeloader”, etc in spanish. It’s seen with an attached machine gun and uses a body slam attack against the Angler. It didn’t do anything when Remi needed help, so either it can only follow Remi’s commands, or it’s fully autonomous and also a dick sometimes.
  • Freeze Gun - Another cool name for this could be the “Photon Cannon”. I was tempted to call this the “Easy Breezy Vampire Freezy”. It seems to use light to temporarily turn vampires to stone and also mildly resembles the GLOO gun from Prey from certain angles.
  • Bayonet - All of the crew’s standard guns seem to have bayonets attached, suggesting that players can melee when vampires are too close. Unknown if this is a modification that can be made to guns, or if all guns will come like this.

Dev - Researcher/Inventor

  • Camera - Dev is shown using his camera a couple times in the trailer, and it’s a part of his bio picture, so it could be a part of his kit. Maybe he takes pictures of vampires to research them for bonuses, similar to Bioshock/Prey?
  • Flare Gun - The effect of the gun isn’t shown, but it may be a crowd control attack or a way to set enemies on fire.
  • Stake Gun - Holds up to three stakes at a time, although it seems that a vampire won’t be taken out unless they’re distracted.

So far I’m assuming that each player will be able to use every gun (but have their own unique abilities), similar to Borderlands, although that leaves the question of what exactly Dev’s unique abilities are. I’m hoping he’s a Morgan Yu type character who has a bunch of utility weapons like the Gloo Gun.

That is quite a mouthful.

Just call it “Xbox Singularity”.

You discuss one game - quick plot, panoramic start, 5 min gameplay, character reveal. Done!

That is one amazing GIF.

Are they also Deathloop’s directors? Deathloop looks a lot like Dishonored, I’m curious if the same team is working in both games.

110

Deathloop is led by Dinga Bakaba (Co-Director of Wolfenstein Youngblood and he worked on various roles on the Dishonored games, notably Lead Game Designer on Dishonored 2).

hopefully she has a blink-like ability, dishonored games spoiled me lol, I’ve already seen a “lift” ability, we will probably have a lot of verticality in this game as well

I’m going to play as Jacob. Sniper based but more so has a Raven and I want to see if and what the Raven can do to enemies. That intrigues me.

I’m pumped to see how Redfall uses the hardware. I think the gameplay is going to drastically smash expectations that the trailer gave off.

Concept arts from Concept Artist Teo Mathlein that were used to make the trailer

Collected images I made at Goodbye Kansas Studios for the cinematic announcement trailer for Bethesda’s game “Redfall”.

I worked on this behemoth of a trailer for 6 months, and did everything from the original key concepts, color keys, production concept art, matte paintings, and assisted A.D Gustaf Holmsten with art direction.

Terrific work ! I especially love the first one, really creepy.
