Unfortunately, most of the original team is gone now. I hope they’ve moved on to better things
Every game that comes out is just gonna be a broken mess, and the devs will promise "don't worry guys, we'll fix it".
While they have no obligation to, because they already have your money
Bethesda is way smarter than that. People pay them to playtest and fix their games.
They want to pull a No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk 2077?
Cyberpunk probably isn't the best comparison - the basic core of the game was just fine on release. It was the last generation console performance that really killed it. I've had more game breaking bugs with the Phantom Liberty expansion than I had at its original launch (though there are far fewer cosmetic bugs now). Would love it if Redfall does improve though, Arkane have put out some of my all-time favourite games.
Yo what? The core was fine? Dumb as fuck ai, vops spawn out of people's asses, false promises, ingame decisions that don't matter at all. A game that ran like ass if you didn't have the newest hardware, and even then you had to follow a guide that made it kinda work. And that's just what i remember right now.
That depends, is the game lacking half the features & content it should have, or is everything mostly there but they are just exceptionally buggy and unpolished.
Also don't forget the third option, Anthem. Or on second thought, actually do forget it, probably better that we all do.
This was always the inevitable result of companies driven by shareholders seeing games that were released broken later receiving inexplicable critical praise when they were hammered into something closer to the original pitch.
Okay, good luck.
I honestly forgot about it.
Arakane Austin clearly didn't want to make that game as evidenced by their 70% dev exodus during development, and you really need a dedicated dev team to achieve a "redemption arc". This is likely another head office decision made with no understanding of their development team(s) or how to actually achieve it. I'm not holding my breath.
