Harvey Smith, Studio Director at Arkane Austinīut that's not to say there aren't still options. And so, there's a little bit of an allegory going on, perhaps, with the game." Each character's campaign is full and whole in and of itself, enabling solo players to still experience a properly fleshed out game. If you choose to play as one of the game's characters - Layla, for instance - you can go through the whole game without encountering any of the other playable characters. "There are no bots, there's no AI party with you, you're alone." "If you play alone, you pick a character and you begin the campaign - you follow the story, you do the missions, you level up your character - and you complete the game that way," he said. The multiplayer options of Redfall were well and truly on display in the trailer, with epic collaborative moments between playable characters showcasing some of the more unexpected talents and abilities.įor solo players, however, the experience will hark back to more of the traditional Arkane style - using elements of stealth in combination with combat. And so there's a little bit of an allegory going on, perhaps, with the game." What's at stake for solo players? "And it's like we're not even doing anything about it because its shareholders have to be satiated," he said. And also today is the first day of water restrictions. He used Texas, where Arkane is located, as an example: "10 days straight of 100 degree weather and they're already posting these notices that the power grid might fail. "You know, we are living in a world where a tiny percentage of people are preying on everybody else - a tiny percentage of very powerful people are having their way with us."
"Vampires are monsters, and monsters are metaphors," he said. If you thought you were safe while the sun is out, think again.įor Smith, it's just as important to recognize the real-world parallels as it is to recognize nods to vampire lore - especially when the game focuses so much on community and rebuilding. "At some point, we were like, 'Wow, there was a myth where vampires couldn't cross running water,' and that was just, like, intuitive or accidental." So there's this enormous wall of water around the edge of Redfall. "On the island, we not only had the character called The Black Sun - she blacks out the sun - but we also had the vampire gods push back the water from the harbors. "We did find that as we were working, we kept inadvertently seeing parallels ," said Bare. "But they're worse than us in all the ways that matter. "Vampires are interesting, I think, because they look like us, but they're better than us in some way," said Smith. After conducting experiments they shouldn't have, the scientists gathered power for themselves… to the detriment of the entire town. The vampires in Redfall are a whole new generation of science-based vampires, created from a catastrophe at a biotech startup.
