Volition returns to the red planet with Red Faction: Guerilla

Posted on April 18th, 2008 at 17:19 EDT

(continued from previous page) ...from other titles out there?

Vicens: We’ve really pushed the envelope and created a new expectation with this gameplay. We’ve raised the bar for interactivity. This isn’t like other games where you might be able to break through a fence. If you see something in this game, you can go through it. We allow the player to carve out his own path in the game world. You’re literally changing the game world as you play. By the time you’ve finished the game, the entire world has changed physically. When you’ve blown up a building it remains shattered 20 hours later in the game when you come back to it.

PSU: What type of multiplayer will gamers get in Red Faction?

Vicens: There will be multiplayer. Some will be traditional gameplay and we’ll have specific multiplayer for the destructive capabilities of the engine. Gamers will no longer be able to hide behind a wall or memorize a map. The map will completely change over the course of a battle. If there’s a sniper spot in the game, you can collapse that entire building and take it away from the enemy.



PSU: What impact does the in-game destruction have on multiplayer?

Vicens: One map we have has two tiers, which normally would require going up stairs. But in our game, you can simply collapse a structure and go in and immediately attack the enemy. It’s all dynamic gameplay. We’re not forcing players to do anything. They can literally do whatever they want to the game world. You can play the same map 50 times and it will never be the same game. Not only will it look completely different half-way through, but the experience will be unique each time based on the destruction of both sides.


We'd like to thank Ishmael Vicens again for taking the time to answer our questions. Stay tuned to PSU.com for more information on Red Faction: Guerilla.

I don't like the way THQ has been treating the PS3 lately but this game looks worth buying.  Hopefully not playing the first 2 won't hinder the game.

PSU, what's been up with your servers today?

Can't wait to see the transformation to the next gen level. Bring it on! I only played the first one, back in the days, and that been quite some step at that time.

Wow i havn't seen anything on this game since it was announced but this sounds amazing.  I loved Red Faction 1 and Red Faction 2 was alright, though much less destructive.  Good to hear the destruction has improved vastly, and the free roaming elements are welcome of course.

@InfernoReaper

To be honest, we're wondering the same thing. InfoRelay handles our servers, and we've been having to constantly contact them due to server issues. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sounds like it will be a great game and a big step in the Red Faction franchise.

I'm not too sure about THQ as develoopers, because they cancelled the PS3 version of Frontlines Fuel of War.

 

I played the first Red Faction game and liked it and I own Red Faction 2 and it was O.k. too. I really don't agree with their decision to make the game in 3rd person, but maybe it will turn out pretty good. The thing that I have liked about the Red Faction game is that literally everything in a game is destructable.

 

I'm definantly not anticipating this game to be a hit, but who knows, maybe it will turn out like Call of Duty 4, there's just no telling.

Well actually I'm glad Frontlines didn't come to the PS3 because it was a cr@ppy game, a rippoff of Warhawk. This game looks promising as a possible game to get in 09 maybe.

I'm actually getting kinda excited about this game.  RFII was a flop, but RFI was not only an awesome game with a story but completely new in concept.

I would guess it's 3rd person because it's massive map style, almost all games with massive free-exploring maps are 3rd person.  Personally, I don't really like 3rd person games because the aiming is usaully wierd, but this game could still be great.

haha i used to love RF and RF2, but to be honest i can actualy see this being a bit shi*y in parts, i dont know why but its a gut feeling.

psn id: gingo...... this sounds actually really good but if theres gonna be framerate slowdown whenever a building collapses on the ps3 version, which seems to be the case with most multiplatform games these days, then they will have ruined a potentially brilliant concept

is it multiplatform? i agree with the third person (way too many 1st person shooters) 3rd person never gets old
