Making bad developers panic maybe?
I can't imagine something like this makes the Redfall devs feel good about themselves.
Actually Redfall likely doesn't make the Redfall devs feel good about themselves.
Wasn't the whole thing with Redfall that it was Bethesda mismanagement? I'm not going to put that on the Redfall team. Does make me completely disinterested in buying any Bethesda games that aren't mainline TES though.
Looks like it went way deeper than that...

That's just part of the mismanagement.
What worries me is that one of the leakers who was leaking shit about Redfall prior to release who was 100% correct about everything, also said he saw Starfield and it was in worse shape than Redfall was. It's obviously coming out later, but not that much later.
Starfield is a Bethesda game proper and it's wise to have appropriate expectations. :)

I forget, on launch wasn't Fallout COMPLETELY broken for Nvidia cards? Or was it AMD? I can't remember, it was one or the other...
While true, the state of Redfall was far worse than the expectation for a mainline Bethesda RPG (comparatively), even as bad as they have been in the past. So saying Starfield was in worse shape still has some hefty weight to it, if the leak is true. It will have at least had more time in the oven for things to be fixed up a bit more in line with normal expectations. And that's my hope.
Plus, Microsoft needs a win, especially after Redfall. They need this one to be hit outside the park.
That’s upsetting. I was never going to play Starfield, but I want games coming out to be good. We don’t need another dumpster fire like the CP2077 launch was.
Such a shame, I was immensely sold on the initial trailer. I did not even end up playing it
For what it's worth, I thought it'd be horrible from the reviews and ended up trying it anyway, and I actually really enjoyed it. shrug Rather feels like I played a different game than everyone else.
I'm sure it's partly the difference between starting with rock bottom expectations vs starting with Prey/Dishonored expectations, but I think even without that I'd like it.
Also, it has no micro transactions! Zero. Not even for cosmetics - those are just unlockables. Credit where credit is due.
Anyway if you liked the look of the trailer and you have gamepass, it's worth at least trying, imo.
