    New Red Faction. Cool concept of blowing things up. Stupid presentation.

    I said that so people wouldn't make a hundred comments about it and ignore everything else. Figures that's the only thing you'd pay attention to.

    It actually simulates stress on the structures that can cause them to collapse. If you blow out a building's supports it'll collapse but if you just blow holes in the walls it'll stay up. C'mon, that's awesome!

    It is like Pontifex applied to a FPS. That is pretty neat in my books.

    Games have finally gotten that far huh? I can remember wanting fully destructable environments about ten years ago and thinking "HAHA as if that'll happen".

    Mind you it looks a little dodge in that video but it's not a bad start.

    Oh right, what the heck was the deal with only releasing RF 2 on consoles? It's like they wanted an excuse not to use Geomod. "Nope, not enough RAM, can't use it here."

    This game does sound incredible. Ever since Havok physics showed up I have been waiting for this application -- i.e. real-time destructible environments. Crysis did this but this game sounds ever better. I was watching an interview with an artist and she was talking about how the artists have to be more like architects now since they have to design a building that won't collapse under its own weight. Being able to collapse a bridge with a well-placed rocket or a guard tower with an explosive charge could be so damn much fun.

    To be honest, that was pretty bloody awesome, and dare I say innovative? Slightly? No?

    Ok I'll shut up now.

    I just hope this won't turn into a Toy that lets you destroy stuff and only that.

    BTW, shouldn't Mars be, you know, RED? Next thing, couldn't they just settle with your standard SpaceSuit™ and not some strange get-up?

    RA2 wasn't console only, I have the PC version, though it is plainly a port.

    Mars isn't that red and I'm guessing the planet is getting terraformed or there are some factories pumping breathable atmosphere into the air.

    The "blowing stuff up and watching it collapse" looks like fun, but come on, the novelty's gonna wear off...there's gotta be more to it than that, right? A decent story? Something?

    The first two games had pretty good shooting action. Geo-mod is a great feature but it's still an FPS at heart.

    Stop right there, two games? Lets face it, there is only one Red Faction game and that was the first one (... it will probably stay that way). I don't even remember what was the second game about, while thinking about the first game... it still gives me this warm fuzzy felling.

    Does the Red Faction title carry any cachet these days? Other than with WhistkeyWolf. Why not just call it Blow Shit Up Realistically?

    First one was fun. Never really got through the second one honestly. The first one was very enjoyable tho.
    If they can keep up badass gameplay, do it on Mars this time (no fucking earth dammit) and make it so you can level an entire level, then hey, I'll buy.


    I'd totally rail that chick designer too. Eat her asshole out and then fuck her pussy in every position till she passes out.
