What the heck is Red Faction???

It all started with the first part of this serie. In the year 2075, Mars is controled by a (dictatorial) mining company called "Ultor".
But some of the miners couldn't stand it anymore...
It was very peacefull until Parker joined the big party. Anyway, you are/where the hero that blew the company from Mars in Red Faction 1.
With an big arsenal of guns, you'll kicked everyone's butt and you've blown your way to the person who caused this.
He contacted the EDF (earth Defence Force) and they have helped to destroy the enemy.
But Red Faction 1 wasn't very popular about the story. The high developed physics (from 2002) was the most stunning subject of the game.
You could blow walls, rocks and stuff up! That wasn't very common for a game from the year 2002.
And that's where it started...

Where does the story start?

Red Faction guerilla wars starts 50 years after the incident of Red Faction 1. But what about Red Faction 2? That's a whole differend story...
After the war, a new Red-Faction has been re-established. And you're one of those Red Faction members that need to fight for their freedom! Because without Ultor, the EDF had to much freedom.
They have taken the planet into their control and wasn't so friendly to the miners too...


Destroy everything!

The most interesting of the whole Red Faction series was the destruction of objects. And the developers has brought this game
a level higher with physics. Your console or computer will calculate what happens if you place a bomb on a radar. The radar will fall at the right position and the distance of the bomb to the object has much effect too!
And the developers where forced to use architectal structure to their buildings. Else the whole building could collapse from Mars's gravity!
You can do great things with those physics... We where thinking about: car + explosives = much destruction!

Level design? What can we expect?

Now don't get to excited if we tell you that the level is very big. You are free to go but you need to follow the objectives of course (or not...).
But Mars has changed a lot. It's not the atmosphere and the sandstorms you would expect. Because the terraforming is almost complete! The atmosphere is
already filled with oxygen.
Of course is there day/night cyclus that will have effect on the work of other civilians/miners that are walking around.



GTA meets Just Cause on Mars?

You could compare that game a little bit with GTA and Just Cause because you've all the freedom, verhicles and quests/extra missions!
The game allows you to steal the keys of a nice futuristic taxi with guns! Or a plane to fly around the red planet!
Anyway, you'll get a new arsenal of weapons, verhicles and possibilities to control/destroy the game!



Red_Faction_3



Multiplayer!

Of course will this game have multiplayer. We don't know everything about this game but what we know is:

  • It has a classic mode: Deathmatch/capture the flag.
  • It has some new modes: Destruction will be a big subject in those modes.
  • The game will allow you to pick-up backpacks with extra powers like: extra speed or firing power (like Quake 3).
  • Tactics will have effect on the gameplay!
  • The maximum players is rated at 16 (at this moment).



Conclusion

This game sounds very promising and could be a worthfully successor of the previous series! We'll wait patiently on the PC version. Atleast, those screenshots look awesome and the physics could be truly amazing!
