Romier S Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Geo-mod is back and it's better than ever. Early screenshots for this game were utterly embarrasing but this new trailer looks decent. The best part about it is the huge amounts of destruction in the environments of course. The tech behind it seems pretty good too: http://www.thq-games.com/uk/thqtv/index/1660 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave C Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Interesting. Is this due this year or 2009? 1st Qtr. 2009 I'm really looking forward to this game. There will be a multiplayer beta on xbox live: Red Faction: Guerrilla is in the early stages of a closed, multi-player beta taking place over Microsoft's Xbox Live service. Most of the current participants are Volition and THQ employees, but we have exciting plans to open up participation in the near future. Stay tuned for more information!

JoeyN Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Like the demo, and the 1up yours guys gush over it. May have to pick this one up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Flying under the radar, it comes out next week. Plan on picking up a copy. IGN liked it and they gave it one of the lower scores I have seen as they have been all 9's so far. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/987/987544p1.html If all you care about is blasting things to pieces, you?re going to love Red Faction: Guerrilla. Seeing a tower topple to the ground in a seemingly realistic fashion after smacking away its support beams with a sledgehammer is really a thrill, and though it may lose its appeal as you continue through the lengthy campaign, it?s still worth checking out, particularly after you unlock some of the better weapons. What?s more disappointing about Volition?s effort is the rocky mission design, bland artistic style, weak plot and anemic character development, which shifts too much focus to the element of destruction to maintain a level of excitement. Its enjoyable gunplay mechanics along with the weapons and opportunity for tearing apart structures carry over into the online space, where Volition has built an impressive multiplayer suite that includes stat tracking, unlocks, and a number of game modes that focus on flattening buildings. While the game may not do everything right, it?s your best bet for free-form demolition and unpretentious entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 My copy is in hand. I picked her up at Target this morning. I was originally going to hold off considering I'm knee deep into inFamous at the moment but I enjoyed the demo too much and I didn't realize Prototype wasn't until next week so. Here I am.

Paul Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Fun. Light on story. Great to just go around blow stuff up. Full destruction in MP makes it more interesting than the standard fare. Real quick story. Blowing up EDF buildings lowers their control in an area. Anyway, plant charges on one and back away while I detonate. Huge chunk of the building comes flying my way, landing on me, killing me instantly. I just laughed. Really enjoying it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Huge chunk of the building comes flying my way, landing on me, killing me instantly. I just laughed. Really enjoying it so far. That sounds like the kind of game I'd have fun with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 This snuck up on me -- for some reason I thought that this was a sequel to that alternate reality game about Nazis invading NYC. Anyway, the demo was a lot of fun! Any online co-op? I couldn't tell from the reviews I read (I know about the offline Burnout Party Crash Mode).

Romier S Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Here's a great interview about some of the design elements in Red Faction and the developers outlook on what effect the destruction technology will have on the industry.. http://fidgit.com/archives/2009/06/developer_of_red_faction_guerr.php I plan to spend a lot of time with this game over the weekend as I've only scratched the surface of the content and it's been extremely fun thus far.

DaveC Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I just picked it up this weekend. finally got around to trading in Fable 2 so had enough store credit to grab it. so far so good.

Romier S Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) I'm almost done liberating Dust. Everytime I want to hit up one of the main story missions I see a bunch of those green little icons calling me to help my subjegated brothers and I can't resist. The destruction side missions with the martian hillbilly are too fun to even describe. You essentially ride the back of a turret mounted half motorcyle, half truck. The goal? Blow up anything belonging to the EDF (Earth Defense Force) in sight. It's a thing of beauty.:lol The rest of the side missions are all pretty enjoyable even if they are a bit repetitious at times. The hostage related ones are my least favorite. As you move on through the game they can be a real bitch to complete. Though after trying to use remote charges during one mission and getting my ass handed to me, I just stole an armored truck and plowed that sumbitch right through the side of the building and loaded everybody up for the escape :lol. The Geo-Mod 2.0 tech is the real deal and I can understand why Volition are saying it's going to change how gamers want to play thier games. Speaking of which, there's another mission early on in Dust where you have to take out some PA speakers around a large crater that is being mined out and is guarded by EDF forces. The PA speakers are all setup in different buildings built into the roads in the crater and usually hanging off the side of some of the cliffs that have formed. The first two times I tried the mission I went about it very traditionally. I drove to the first speaker, got out and tried to eliminate everyone and used my remote charges to take out the building with the speaker. That was amusing but I died after only taking two of them out. The third time at it, I placed remote charges on the vehicle I was driving and drive it into the building as I leaped out. Once it found its target I set that sucker off. It was a good strategy but again, once I took out the third building - the heat was too much and I got stomped. Finally, I said to hell with it. I grabbed a big mining truck and literally bulldozed my way through all four buildings runing over EDF troops and supply vehicles along the way.:lol The final leg of the mission tasked me with killing a high ranking EDF official so I went ahead and drove my new truck right over to his headquarters (the truck was now full of martian revolutionaries who joined me in the fight) and as they attacked the stronghold, I placed remote charges on the four primary joists holding the top floor together where my target was having a meeting with some other officials in the EDF. I set those bitches off and watched the entire building come tumbling down killing everyone inside. Priceless and AMAZINGLY FUN. I won't even get into how ridiculous it is when you get to test drive your first walker.:rock:rock Edited June 23, 2009 by Romier S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberwoo Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 This looks like one of those "turn brain off and enjoy" type of games. This was never on my radar but word of mouth and seeing that video has me intruiged. I'll probably wait and get a cheap used copy @ EB. The multiplayer supposed to be any fun?

Jordan_E Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Been playing this one for the past week, going slow, just blowing the shit out of everything I can find, and loving it! Probably return it today, but this one will be on my Buy List when I can find it at a lower price. There's nothing like blowing the hell outta a building to take the edge off for a few minutes.
