As reported, Volition's next outing in its Red Faction universe will be Red Faction: Armageddon. Now, just about a week before E3, we get our first look at the game.
The trailer paints the world as one where humans that have colonized Mars have been pushed underground, learning to survive in once uninhabitable mines. As it turns out, humans aren't the only life on the Mars -- we see some Dead Space-y looking creatures rear their heads a few times in the trailer, which runs just over a minute. Good thing you'll have all of those mech suits to protect yourself with.
We see plenty of the series' trademark destruction in this video, as well. But if you look carefully, you'll notice a new ability around 40 seconds in: some sort of glove that seemingly rebuilds pieces of the environment. The teaser pegs the game for a March 2011 release; we'll have more for you come E3.

Yeah, but has the reconstructor ever been a glove?
It's a new ability in terms of single-player, narrative-driven gameplay.
If it's open world underground, good. Otherwise nooooooezzzz. Red Faction: Guerrilla was absolutely solid and they should just refine that instead of going back to linear like RF1/2. Sigh, and they won't even have the terrain deformation like in the older games.
If I get to make my own tunnels/staircases/etc underground, I retract my worries about this game. Until then, I remain kind of sad.
Seriously though, this is Red Faction? Since when were aliens involved? I r confused.
I had so much fun with RFG, that I'll reserve my opinion until I actually play it but still.
Whose TERRIBLE idea was to take away what made the game GREAT?
They LOST my money and many many many fans. I guess they don't like sales they prefer poor reviews and sales around 300 thousand. It WILL bomb and they will be interviewed and asked "what they hell where you thinking?"
So, its possible something down there survived and had a very long time to reproduce and evolve. Getting back to the roots sounds exciting to me.
where's that saint's row 3?
You must be trolling. This game looks more like the original Red Faction than Guerilla.
