Let's take a look at a series that made the transition from a groundbreaking first-person shooter to a 3rd person combat title.

Red Faction was a very cool game and it was the reason i bought a PS2...well other than the fact that the PS2 was a cheap DVD player.

THQ destroyed any chances of success for this game when they tried a new formula. This is their New Coke moment and they should have kept the open world sandbox of RFG.

its sad, i really enjoyed Armageddon too, stupid reviews crying about how its not a carbon copy of the last game is who is to blame, the devs explained quite well why they chose to take out the open world and focus on the story, good anyway cause i thought the open world was too distracting for a game that focuses on story

It would be a perfect time with the huge leap in cpu power these consoles have over previous generations

porkChop450d ago

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."

Wouldn't mind a Remake of the first Red Faction game, I enjoyed that game quite a bit.

TheProfessional1450d ago

Red Faction 1 is an all time classic and the Geo Mod destruction system was way, way ahead of its time.

Hopefully this leads to a new Red Faction and Risen.

isarai1455d ago

Oh SNAP! i would love a sequel to second sight, loved the first one.

AK911455d ago

I'd prefer if we got a 4K remaster first

Chaos_Order1455d ago

Second Sight is highly underrated.

Sciurus_vulgaris1455d ago

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.

rawshack1455d ago (Edited 1455d ago )

I hope they release risen on switch It's a underrated game all so
