Xbox boss blames \u2018tunnel vision\u2019 for Redfall\u2019s performance Bethesda \/ Arkane AustinXbox Games Studios executive Matt Booty discussed what he thought really went wrong with Redfall\u2019s performance. Following its launch in May 2023, Redfall earned a few abysmal reviews for its laggy gameplay and lackluster combat. Dexerto\u2019s review called the title \u201cundercooked and uninspired\u201d \u2013 with an aggregate review score of 53, many pointed out technical and gameplay issues with the title that kept it from being a game worth recommending. As a result, the Bethesda team offered PC advice to players underwhelmed with Redfall\u2019s performance. However, one customer service representative forgot to replace Fallout 76 with Redfall in an apology to an unhappy user. With everything that hit the fan involving Redfall\u2019s quality, it\u2019s hard to pinpoint one mishap that happened. However, Booty has attributed the mass criticism of Redfall to \u201ctunnel vision\u201d and that they expected it to \u201cperform better than it did.\u201d Xbox executive had high expectations for Redfall\u2019s performance In an interview with IGN, Booty offered his explanation as to what he would change with the Redfall development process. \u201cIf I were to take a post-it note back in time in my little time machine to 2017, it\u2019d be to make sure that everybody understands that they don\u2019t get to just ship a game as Double Fine or as inXile anymore,\u201d Booty said. \u201cThey\u2019re going to be looked at as part of first-party.\u201d The Xbox executive continued, \u201cSometimes, a team can just get a little bit of tunnel vision around their game, and sometimes management can have the opposite problem where maybe they\u2019re zoomed a little too far out. \u201cWe had people play the game, we had reviews, we do mock reviews. We just had indicators that it was going to perform better than it did.\u201d In addition to Booty\u2019s reasoning, the Redfall devs revealed their experience working on the title. According to the accounts of those who worked at Arkane Studios, many left during the production of Redfall.
