'The 0.1 percent are already vampires.' Harvey Smith on the politics of Redfall, and how its undead were born from real-life bloodsuckers
Redfall is a silly game about shooting vampires, but also not. Yes, it's about clearing a town of a supernatural nuisance using flashy powers and souped up weaponry - and there's much more on how it plays in Aoife's video below - but, just as with Arkane's previous series Dishonored, there's also much more going on beneath the surface.
It's a fiction which reflects the reality in which Redfall was made, Smith suggests, during a tumultuous time in world events which saw great changes in US and UK politics, as well as numerous cases of rich megacorps taking advantage of people as the real world turned to hell."You're fighting private military contractors, and people who used to be your dentist or your baker or a cop who have decided to throw in with the new masters," Smith acknowledges.
"The question is, is that just annoying to the people that don't care?" Smith replies."Or don't want that around? Is it interesting at all, to the people who do? Because at the end of the day, you're shooting vampires. Is it the worst of both worlds? It worked out with Dishonoured and Deus Ex, but obviously sometimes it doesn't work out.
