Red Faction: Guerilla

There's not too much I can describe so I'll let the videos do the talking.

Links to trailers are other general goodness.

On top of those

All the buildings are destructible.

And I mean every single one. Having played the demo I can say that each time you blow up a building I have never once witnessed two exactly the same.

But before we get deeper into that, let's talk about the basics. Guerilla is a third-person shooter and open world game. You can wander about taking down buildings or bridges at your leisure or go for the corrupt Earth Defence Force's main buildings to cause some real mayhem. From the humble sledge hammer to the mighty mining walker, that is a robot suit that was used for mining. It is now use for killing and destruction. You'll have an armory of a very will equipped miner. Remote charges, a smattering of guns, it looks as though you will not want for toys.

Here is a list of all the forum's gamertags, it's not everyone so just say so and I'll add it.
Forum Name - Gamertag
KingMole - Kaddion
Arrath - Arrath777
Septus - Kurahoshi
Big Dookie - BigDaddyDookie
BlueDestiny - BlueDouble
Sharp10er - SharpTenor
Blue map - Gray Adder
Saiga - Lost Physicist
Sagroth - sag616
ygrella - CorpsicIe
Nickle - NickleDL
Strikerkc - Strikerkc
elizabex - elizabex

You guys like maps, right? Of course you do. Can't find all those pesky crates or ore, Even a handful of radio tags? Well have no fear, Bamelin and co. have made a wonderfully convenient map to help you with this. Here

And who better to showcase the demo then our very own Kaseius? He made a fantastic Let's Play, which you can watch below.

    I love that they named the towns after the leaders in the original red faction. (Parker, Eos) It's probably something that would realisticlly happen.

    For those wondering but not wanting to read the article...
    Also noted by the company are the platforms the game will be releasing on (the next-gen trio of Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC) and a release target in the 2009 fiscal year (which may still fall in the 2008 calendar year).
    I'm glad I abandoned my original plan of having just the Wii this console generation...so many good looking games are doing this.

    I'm skeptical, in the first game you could dig for days, the second one they reduced the destructible environment to one scripted segment at the beginning and maybe a wall or two later in the game. Let's hope they deliver again

    I just hope it's a great game and they don't spend ALL their time making absolutely sure all the destructable stuff works and then forget they need to make a game with their engine.

    actually, no. the single player in the original was terrible and only saved by the fact that you can waste time making holes in the walls (usually). the second included an actually fun story driven campaign that i thought took what was just an idea in the first game to new levels.

    Is that even a response to the comment I made? I never said the first one was good, or even that the second was bad (I thought it was decent). I'm talking about the much hyped geomod feature. Which was rarely used, and never in any big way, in RF 2.

    i'm arguing that it WAS used and was used more intelligently than in it's prequel. maybe i need to replay it but i recall the game having some pretty cool applications of destruction.

    You you are right, it's all about terrain defrmation and altering weather effects, but it's incredibly satisfying in a way that I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the new Red Faction being. Raising the ground in a bunker and squishing the people inside, or lowing the earth below a building's foundation so you can sneak inside...lotta fun. Make no mistake, I HOPE RF pulls it out though...2 fun games are better than 1.

    Screw you guys, Red Faction was fun. Who cares if the FPS part was only average. You could create intricate tunnel systems with rockets.

    Red Faction 2 was not as much fun. The FPS gameplay was only slightly better than average, but the awesomeness of the first game disappeared for some reason. Red Faction 2 did have some pretty fun multiplayer (splitscreen), but the level of destruction was almost non-existent compared to the first one.

    I beat it several times and aside from the first and last level in RF2 you only used it once or twice, and it was like... you could blow a hole in this wall, or walk through the door right next to it. RF2 was Generic Shooter #37 but it had a better story.

    I was pumped for the first Red Faction. I got the game on day 1. Installed, and went nuts for 3 days straight and beat the game.

    I remember being a little disapointed. It seemed there was a lot of good ideas, that never went anywhere. You did a lot of digging at the beggining of the game and it could be used to your tatical advantage, but then I felt that sort of died off and it turned into a game or corridor fighting with the odd segment where would could do some cosmetic damage.

    I never did play the 2nd one though.

    Red Faction was great for the multi-player. I barely remember the single-player, but playing with friends I have quite a lot of recollections. It was awesome, especially the two fortress map. We'd just grab rockets, be on opposite sides, and start shooting. Fucking glorious. Geomod was quite a lot of fun there.

    I'm looking forward to Guerilla. It looks like they're really working hard to make it be the best destructibility ever. And it's a massive, open game-world, too. Color me excited.

    RF1 was excellent right up to the moment the plot changed from WORKERS RIOT to your typical run of the mill mutant experiments 'oh gaze yea upon the annoying dull ugly horrors that I Generico the evil villan have createblahblahblaZzzzzzz' rubbish.

    But before that, fighting the guards and the incredibly accident prone medics around the mines and the offices was a blast. Bloody stupid mutants ruin everything.

    But yes, RF2 was appaling, apart from some part I remember where you fire large weapons from a chopper to kill certain people (and everyone within 3 floors of them) in a large building. It took about 50 rounds in the face to kill anyone.

    But maybe the new consoles can do the destruction tech justice. It'll need a game to go along with it too though.

    I can't believe you're fighting against the mighty EDF in this game! How the hell are you suppose to beat Storm 1?? Did you not see what he accompished in 2017!?

    I've had fairly mixed experiences with RF1, mostly on the side of medicore. RF1 you're just some guy who thinks his job sucks, then suddenly transforms into the most important person in the uprising. The game itself was ok and the deformation was impressive considering the games age. Also liked the fact that the game just tossed a whole stack of weapons at you pretty much right from the start :) I didn't finish it because it all felt like work and the already weak story was falling to pieces.

    RF2 is still gathering dust.
