I enjoyed the first game... quite a bit, I bought it and didn't get into the multiplayer when it was hot.

I would like to see a co-op experience... in the singleplayer mission, more open world games should do it.

[Parapraxis]

If you watched the last GTtv episode it REALLY looks like there is going to be some serious co-op components in RF:A.

@mrv you played Red Faction on the ps2? Yeah, fuck third person view for this game. Im sorry that i seem irate by saying that comment, but as a fan for the series, I have every right to be pissed off where the series went. I know the engine is amazing. Thats why I get even more pissed. I want it FPS!

[kancerkid]

They implement first person and then you can't see what is falling all over you as buildings come crashing down. You then complain about that, thus be unfulfilled either way.

What is so great about first person anyway. GTA has been third person for a while and noone complains about that?

FPS - Stare at a hand and a gun, point your cross hairs, shoot.

TPS - Stare at a human backside, point your cross hairs, shoot.

I've never understood how there can be such preference for one or the other, I couldn't care less.

I'm tired of these open world games though. I want fun destruction in linear gameplay.

Also, the destruction should be toned down. When something is made very common it's no longer special. The multiplayer was especially silly with players destroying massive buildings in seconds with hammers while other were rebuild just as fast. Make the structures tough, make the ability to destroy them rare and the ability to repair rare also.

I feel your pain, you would think that they would listen. oh well, I'm not buyin. :/

[DA_SHREDDER]

Preach it!

Edit: Whats the difference? Story, game play, destruction, bosses, weapons, targeting systems, aerial space combat. OMG the assault rifle in Red Faction 1 is one of my favorite of all time. It was a beast man. I think it was one of the first Reflex/Red dot sights in a fps game.

[Heisenberg]

Back in the PS2 days, get some split screen capture the flag goin with a bunch of bots... Good times! They had the best names for the bots too, like MC_Shivers!

Anyway I didn't play the last faction, was it any good?

Why does everyone have no bubbles anymore? Welcome to the epicenter of fanboy trolling.

[Hellsvacancy]

Ill give you a bubble

[dirthurts]

Bubbles for everyone. : )

[Koblec]

GeoMod 2.0? Hmmm.. sounds like fun, hopefully they'll delve into that more

[Cajun Chicken]

Sounds like Doom. Actually, even the title is in fact a clever play on 'Doom'.

[kvg88]

that would be depressing as I found the vastness of RF:G to be amazing.

[dirthurts]

Imagining anything underground not being linear...
But linear with openings would be cool.

[karan8624]

More stuff to do
I loved Geurilla, but in between IDF strongholds there was just dusty desert. Ya, I know its Mars, but these empty spaces didnt allow me to imagine it as a real, living world that interacted

Same with geurillas joining. They would just randomely pull out guns and join, then I lose morale because they die a few seconds later. So I guess their membership lasted a total of 15 seconds before they got killed

[dirthurts]

I would like to see more interaction as well.

[Convas]

De Blob 2 on Consoles
Saints Row 3
and now Red Faction: Armageddon

Sounds like a good lineup to me!

[Hazmat13]

underground? making tunnels with my RPG???

[ATi_Elite]

Red Faction for the Playstation 2 was an awesome game. I enjoyed it more than Halo at the time.

But as time has marched on the Red Faction series is total crap as they have screwed up the story, gameplay, and series as every game has dramatically changed for the worse.

Just go back to the original gameplay and make a solid FPS with a great story, weapons, and vehicles leaving the destruction as a caveat and not the main focus.

[TheMutator]

dammit im a fan
