After Redfall's disappointing launch, some fans are worried about Starfield

Redfall, Arkane Austin's highly anticipated co-op shooter just launched, but unfortunately, it's far from the exhilarating vampire-hunting experience we were hoping for. In our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Redfall review, we said, "Not even awesome vampires and world design can redeem Redfall's repetitive gameplay, which becomes progressively more monotonous the longer you play." And with Redfall proving distinctly underwhelming, all eyes are now on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield to see if it can knock it out of the park.

Twitter user points out that while 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft will undoubtedly want Starfield to b💦e a success, it "isn't some make-or-break moment" as the company's trump card is its highly popular subscription service. They write, "MS is the least reliant on individual 1st party hits because its most important exclusive is Game Pass." 

comments, "Xbox needs a way to fix the reputation they have now of releasing mostly bad broken buggy content lacking games. It's getting quite pathetic." On top of that, as many others point out, Microsoft might see a dip in its Game Pass subscriber numbers if Starfield fails to deliver.

There are a fair few who think that Starfield will suffer from the same issues as Redfall, but it's worth remembering that it and Redfall are two very different games made by different developers, with only their publisher 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bethesda Softworks (owned by Microsoft)ꦗ, ౠtying them together, and the quality of one doesn't necessarily have any bearing on the other. 

Over on the , user Exo_soldier argues that with Redfall, Arkane's expertise "did not match the needs of what makes an online game great", but when it comes to Starfield, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bethesda Game Studios is in much more familiar territory. They write, "Creating open world single player RPGs that have won numerous awards and recognition in their active history." Equa🐟lly optimistic that Starfield won't crash land, another user comments, "If there is one thing I can count on for failure, it's an online game. Not worried about Starfield."

We've still got a bit of a wait to find out if Starfield does deliver the "Skyrim in space" experience promised by Bethesda Game Studios boss Todd Howard, as the game previously planned to launch in the first half of 2023 has been 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:delayed to September 6. We'll have a better idea of what to expect this summer, though, as the studio is hosting a showcase dedicated t🐠o the ambitious space-faring RPG on June 11
