Redfall System Requirements; Arkane's anti-vampire shooter Redfall won't be out until next week, but the launch trailer released today showcases plenty of action in a vampire-infested town and a clever Easter egg that fans of old-timey immersive simulations will definitely enjoy.

But before that, we have the official Redfall system requirements. They don't look so cruel, but 100 GB storage requirementchallenging, especially if you're still using a small SSD. Perhaps most notably, there is no indication of what players can expect from each feature tier.

Redfall System Requirements This shortcoming is particularly glaring in light of the recent announcement that the Xbox version will be limited to 30fps. It's also worth noting that the specs of Arkane's previous game, Deathloop, provide for specific resolution and framerate targets, which makes their absence here even more awkward.

Rather than the Redfall System Requirements, a "Welcome to Redfall" map is displayed at 23 seconds of the video, with a note that some sort of rally is being held at the local fire station. What is remarkable is the time of the rally: It will take place at 04:51 in the morning.

0451 is a very famous number in the immersive simulation genre, used as a password or keycode in games that date back to the original System Shock and to Deus Ex, BioShock, Dishonored and more. Over the years, it's become an almost mandatory tradition to cram this in: Deathloop has a 0451 Easter egg and achievement, Weird West uses it to unlock a safe, and Atomic Heart makes an early-game reference to it. If you have any doubts about its importance, go to Wikipedia and search for 0451 it will take you to the immersive sim page.

The inclusion of this issue in the Redfall system requirements trailer is no doubt meant to link the game to previous versions of Arkane, which are almost entirely known as outstanding examples of the immersive simulation genre. I appreciate this greeting, but I can't help wondering if it will have the opposite effect. To me, this is a reminder that Redfall is a co-op shooter and we're unlikely to see the likes of Dishonored or Prey in the future. As Rich recently said, Arkane's immersive simulations are great, but "they've never had the commercial, mainstream appeal of simpler shooter games, and games need to make money."
