Red Faction 3 announced! Titled Red Faction: Guerilla

Silver Mirror | February 20, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3

That's right after many years and numerous rumours THQ have finally announced the third title in the popular series titled Red Faction: Guerilla. The game has definitely been reworked for its next generation debut, not only does the game take place 50 years after the events of the first game but has also made the switch from 1st to 3rd person, even featuring a cover system. The only bad bit of news is we won't see it until 2009

The third game in the series will be a third-person open-world one, a departure from the first person perspective used in the first two games. Set fifty years after the events of the first Red Faction, Guerilla has you playing as an insurgent fighting against the oppressive Earth Defense Force, destroying everything in your path as you make your way across Mars.

"Red Faction: Guerrilla expands the signature destruction elements of the series and pushes the boundaries of next-gen gaming on a massive, terra-formed Mars where gamers can literally tear down the enemy EDF presence brick by brick," said Mike Kulas, president of Volition, Inc. "With a new 3rd person perspective, a full cover system that allows for guerrilla style tactics and a diverse planet to explore we're excited to revitalize the gripping world of Red Faction for high-definition platforms."

HELL YEAH, 360 RELEASE !!!!!

What's the point of having a cover system in a game that prides itself on being able to blow anything up ? That's like adding a speed limit to a racing game.

Seriously? I mean having cover that can be destroyed adds to the tension of the battlefield, its one thing Gears of War seriously lacked in areas and Uncharted added to great effect, even GTA IV has destructable cover/environment... Red Faction: Guerilla could take this to new heights.

Hopefully they hired back the original team and fired the group who did RF2 which should have been renamed "generic shooter without amazingly cool destruction system" because there was nothing really great about playing the game when you could only blow up walls they wanted you to blow up.

Given the horrible rehash that was SOF3 by Activision, one can only hope that THQ was taking notes on what not to do with new releases. Here's to hoping for next-gen massive destruction of the world.
