Depends on who you ask. I would have.

I suppose at least if it was delayed it would likely have had a date or window attached to it. We’re kinda flying blind in terms of when the performance mode will be available for now
Otherwise, this news is effectively the same as a delay for me.
Both would of had a torrent of hate for sure.
Obviously there are a lot of people who are arguing in bad faith online. But for me lack of 60 is a deal breaker, so I really understand the disappointment. Mostly because the more recent stuff they have shown has been very compelling to me and I was all in.
I think the better question is, would no one reacted like today if it was Quality being delayed.

Lol I don’t think that’s a good question, most were probably like me and didn’t even think the game needed two modes based on how it looks lol

I would have preferred a delay announcement especially if they say why Redfall is getting delayed because for me, games must have a 60fps performance mode option. Just give me 1440p/60fps/HDR and im happy. I don’t need Ray Tracing or for the game to look like it’s the greatest ever made but what you do need to give me is a smooth and fluid 60fps throughout the game. I don’t think this is asking much at all.

Yeah…
Well what determines a games performance is more than looks as we all know.
Peoples reactions shouldn’t matter if it’s to the betterment of the game.
People said the same thing about Halo Infinite and look at how that turned out. Not saying Infinite and Redfall are in the same situation because it’s completely different but yeah.
The delay would be like what ? 2-3 weeks ? That’s harmless. Especially if you explain why you’re delaying it.

What is the 2-3 weeks based on? And this matters much less than Halo IMO, since this isnt a GaaS game. I simply won’t play it until the patch is out, just as if it was delayed.
Other than perception of the game, there is no difference between them delaying the game and you waiting.
Do you think it’ll take months for them to add a 60 fps mode ? That’s basically what it comes down to.
Depends on how technically challenging it is and how close they are to it. We don’t know anything.
Might be 2 weeks, might be 2 months.
It’s all guesses, you did ask an hypothetical question lol.
Funny how a game labled Midfall could cause such a stir 
Didn’t know it was this popular and had this much interest.

People are starving for an AAA Xbox exclusive.
People are praying for the downfall of Xbox.
People just like chaos.
All that makes a recipe of instant clicks.

Yeah this poor game has had a ton of people biting at the bit, kinda weird lol I don’t know why this game was targeted so much.
Were people really riding on Redfall to be a big AAA game that would change the narrative? I didn’t once think that Redfall was ever going to do anything about Xbox has no games or Xbox has no AAA games.
Ya you can say that again, wild how it’s only growing.
I do feel like some Xbox fans get baited into crazy reactions because they’re worried about what the Sony fanboys will say or think.
Mhm.
At the end of the day 60fps should’ve been there at launch, it’s not but will come later down the track so either wait or don’t play it. I get being upset about having to wait or it should be there day 1 but it’s too much effort for me to drum up anger over something I myself don’t care about. I’ve said it a million times I am very easy to please and hardly get angry over stuff like this and most people will just take it as I’m a big fanboy shill, must be me getting old and having low standards

When I think about the whole situation regarding Redfall: online requirement being removed later, 60fps is getting added later, the game is launching between Star Wars and Zelda, how 1st party titles are more under a microscope, and how I really want Arkane to have the hit and spotlight they deserve, I think it would be best to delay the game.
I think if they communicate and explain the delay well, most will understand. If they announced a delay instead of the frame rate, some would latch onto it in a negative way but we know that reaction would come and go while the game would launch later in a better way. Now however, we get the news today with the reactions we see and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this same negative conversation surface at launch, which could potentially, even slightly, tarnish the launch of the game.
There is plenty coming up to play. I’m fine waiting for a better first experience of Redfall.

My point about no one not caring about Redfall unless it’s bad news, if anyone still doubts that bad news doesn’t = clicks.

If it’s Xbox and bad news, you can bet you’ll be the headline.
