Engadget Podcast: What happened to 'Redfall' and 'Star Wars: Jedi Survivor?'<p>This week, Senior Editor Jessica Conditt joins to discuss what went wrong with
Redfall, Microsoft’s latest Xbox exclusive that launched to middling reviews. Jess says it’s good enough for Game Pass, but that’s pretty disappointing for a game from Arkane, the studio behind
Dishonored and
Prey. Also, they chat about
Star Wars: Jedi Survivor and its horrendous PC port, and weigh in on how AI and streaming affects the WGA strike. Stay tuned at the end for an interview with Nida Manzoor, the director of
Polite Society, who talks about <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="
