NZGamer writes: "Red Faction, in case you missed it, was a cool first person shooter (set on Mars) for the PC, PS2 and Xbox. Its hook was a trick of its very special "geomod" engine - you could actually destroy the ground, tunneling through solid rock to skirt a door for which you hadn't been able to find the keycard (etc). Set in a series of tunnels underneath the surface of the red planet, your goal was to defeat the evil authoritarian government and bring about a better future for the people."
The Good: When you hit stuff, it breaks realistically.
The Bad: Character movement / animation circa 2001.
The Ugly: Having to wait until 2009 to play it!

It would be a perfect time with the huge leap in cpu power these consoles have over previous generations
Yes please. Guerilla was a great game. The destruction in that game is still better than most. Maybe Volition can go back to it and let Saints Row rest for a while.
Yes! More players young and old need to play and respect the franchise that literally invented destructible environments!
Would love a REAL Red Faction 4 (the one Volition REALLY wanted to make and not Armageddon) or a Red Faction 1 remake.

This new Texture Pack uses an improved AI-enhanced method to upscale the original textures, resulting in slightly better visuals."
IDK what this person is talking about in his instruction but all it does is extract MP maps lol.
Wouldn't mind a Remake of the first Red Faction game, I enjoyed that game quite a bit.
Red Faction 1 is an all time classic and the Geo Mod destruction system was way, way ahead of its time.
Ownership over several titles gets shuffled in THQ Nordic and Koch Media arrangement. Potential remasters, sequels, ports, and more on the horizon.
Both THQ and Koch Media are owned by the same larger company, the Embracer Group. I’m not sure why the publishing rights would need to be swapped.
I hope they release risen on switch It's a underrated game all so
Red Faction was on xbox, huh? Strange... I must have missed that one. Red faction 2, maybe. But it wasn't near as good as the 1st and the terrain deformation was junk bunk.
