Damn, did they close? I hadn’t heard. That sucks, I’ve heard they made some really good shit

Such an amazing game! Loved every minute. My wife and I still reference it to this day (random mimic jokes).
Truly saddened that the studio responsible for it was closed, it clearly was one of the good ones.

yea, it’s Arkane Austin, they got shuttered after Redfall failed to launch well in 2023

Damn. Redfall kind of explains it. I remember seeing bad reviews for it. I had kind of hoped it would get a sort-of-but-not-really redemption arc like Back 4 Blood did with how it kind of found its player base. Albeit small

It’s so good I stopped playing half way and installed mods to make it harder, imposed some self-restrictions and made it work in VR (Vorpx) so that I can be fully immersed in the experience, reading all the logs which I never do in games and try to milk every bit of this masterpiece. I have not finished it yet, but it’s still the best game ever made in my book.
And to think I took like 4 years to buy it and thought the trailers made it look boring as hell - I was new to immsims back then…
I’ll say it again: masterpiece.

Now that’s something I didn’t think of: Prey in VR. 🤔
I’ll have to give that a go!

Honnestly, even with just a controller and the usual “gunface” from Vorpx, it’s more immersive than most actual VR games, and since weapons are more of a fallback/tool in this game. Well worth a bit of config with Vorpx.
