Redfall Is 30 FPS - Is It Time For ANOTHER Delay? | Defining Duke, Episode 119

Xbox fans, we have reached an impasse. It's Team Delay versus Team "Get Your Game OUT!" Arkane has confirmed that Redfall, an Xbox first party exclusive, will launch at 30 FPS on consoles with 60 frames down the line. It's clear that this generation has tested the patience of fans and, naturally, this news has led to a big blow up. The optics for this situation are clearly bad, but would things be worse if Redfall were to receive a second delay? Some fans feel that it's time for Xbox to finally deliver, come hell or high water! The Dukes dive into this brewing disaster as well is if this is a "litmus test" for an inevitable Starfield 30 FPS confirmation. There is much to be said on the quality standard Xbox is setting for themselves as they seem perfectly fine with being in second place. Otherwise, the Dukes sink into Persona 3 Remake, Ravenlok's release date, another 10 year commitment by Xbox, Sonic's continued success, and much, much more!

Will watch this a bit later . But seriously..Its dark days for Xbox , they're just not putting anything out for us . This is supposed to be the most powerful console . There's literally nothing to show that on a exclusive level. We'll be waiting another 6 years for Halo . It's really sad and deflating . Redfall looks bland and forgettable . If Starfield isn't a home run, what's the point in this platform .

Thanks Dukes. Listening now... but this is the worst I've felt about Xbox in a long time. Trust with their brand is at an all time low for me. Thanks again for all you do.

People really need to dial in their expectations when it comes to this 30fps issue. We only have a 60fps standard this generation because until now everything has still been targeting 10 year old hardware. Now that games are coming out without being held back by last gen hardware, you're going to see a lot more 30fps games again. Likewise, these games will all be a lot more demanding on PC and require hardware much better than the consoles to hit a steady 60fps. I expect we will see a lot of backlash around Redfall being "unoptimized" on PC when it releases as well, but in reality, it will just be more demanding than people expect.

Maybe towards the end of the generation but right now current gen only games like final fantasy 16, jedi survivor and many others offer performance modes. I guarantee Spiderman 2 will also

Lol my review was written with nothing but love. It was a re-review to bump your score. I've been a listener since day one, Matty has always been great, Cog was a great addition. Really do appreciate the show you guys put on 😁

My question is when we are watching the trailers and preview vids is running at 60fps? Is it clear and everyone catching the devs...that trailer ran at 30fps? I only hear out rage when the devs mention it...but what's the Frames these games are shown at?

Now you guys know why Raf colantonio left Arkane the founder the guy who started Arkane left after they got bought. Let just hope they don't do this to COD.

The white lie in this case is stupid. Just tell the adult that the footage isn't going to work and the two of you can have a laugh about it. Man, not a good look for someone who claims to be so against deception. Just because you can use a lie to get out of an uncomfortable situation doesn't mean that it is ok.

Redfall is releasing with no 60fps mode because they want footage captured at the beginning of release to look as good as possible. They don't care about framerate because it doesn't sell games. They want what people to see when they look up the game to be the version that they spent the most time with graphically.

You guys went easy on the IGN Redfall footage. I am far from a gameplay snob or a "get good" d bag but that? That was honestly insane. There's so many things wrong with that video. They're doing nothing, running away to do nothing, throwing his teleport disk everywhere but never once using it, sniper rifle in the garage, running to lock pick while his team is being downed, uses none of the abilities, shoots a cultists to near death and then just turns around and starts running again, shows up at the end of his team doing all the work and taking the final kill. I watched that and was shocked they posted that. If I was Arkane I would have demanded they take that down.

I'm with Cognito and on "team delay". I would prefer to see Redfall, Forza Motorsport and Starfield get delayed to 2024 if needed as opposed to releasing when they're not ready to be released. Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Waiting is disappointing but I have already waited about 18 months since Halo Infinite campaign so what's an extra year or so? In my opinion, if needed, delay the games.

I haven't played a first person shooter at 30 fps in years, not going to start again now, I'll pass until Arkane gets their shit in a pile and fixes that. Dude, Microsoft really started this generation strong with things like Smart Delivery and robust backwards compatibility features like Auto HDR and FPS Boost (!!!). But they still have such a problem putting out games; Redfall, Starfield, Halo Infinite all got roughly one year delays. Halo still wasn't ready. Clearly Redfall isn't ready. We'll see about Starfield I guess. 60 FPS should be the standard for console gaming. What Sony has been doing is the best, giving performance and fidelity modes and also having an option to unlock the framerate, which is not only good for current VRR users, but essentially is forwards compatibility for the next console iteration. I started out this generation really hot on the Series X, but my enthusiasm has totally shifted over to PS5 the past 6 months or so. If Microsoft could just put out finished games on a regular basis they could be such a powerhouse. I mean, where is Hellblade 2? It was announced alongside the Series X in 2019, what is taking so long and why is Microsoft letting it take so long? Unless it's become a 30 hour experience with Last of Us 2 levels of polish, I don't get it. I hope it has, but we shall see..

The Bethesda acquiring Arkane was what I was talking about. I do apologize for the misunderstanding. I have heard he did stay on after that for a while. Just seems sad that now all the games studio I love has just rehash stuff from older games. Also I did not mean to offend you. Have a great one.

Hayden Glass

At this point Cog should just get a solo Midnight Suns DDU.

Bryant

Oh gotcha. I apologize for my aggressive reply.

Zack Fair

What is cog chatting?? Arkane has had plenty of time for Redfall to be at 60fps standard now.

Tyee

Honestly the first time I ever played a shooter I wasn’t as bad as that person

Matty comparing Ghostwire Tokyo to Jujutsu Kaisen from a narrative standpoint is all I needed to try it. Anime nerds stand up 😂🫡 great show Dukes.
