Talking Red Faction and blowing s**t up with Volition photo

I can't be the only one who, as a kid, liked to build things just to knock them down. Sure, the school therapist may have thought I had issues, but come on... knocking things down just feels good.

That seems to be part of what Volition was thinking with its upcoming PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title, Red Faction: Guerrilla. Set on Mars in an open world where just about everything you see is destructible, Red Faction: Guerrilla looks to bring the fun and excitement of leveling back into my life. 

At GDC last week, I had a chance to chat with the tallest man in gaming, Volition's Luke Schneider. He tells me a bit about Red Faction: Guerrilla's destruction, and gives me a few tips on how to take out San Francisco's Moscone Center with a few well-placed rockets. You know, if that's something I wanted to do.

Oh man, if only this game were real and not a cruel April Fool's joke. Still, they put a lot of effort into an April Fool's joke. Four years of working on it! It's paid off.

Rewarding vandalism has never been better. A shame for whoever has to clean that up though.

I'd still rather play Descent 4. fuck.. Even a Freespace game would be nice, Volition. Quit screwing around with faliureware, and give us some games that we actually want.

I have no idea why everyone seems to hate this game so much. I guess I'm the only one with a disturbing fetish for building demolition in my games (<3 Blast Corps).

@Rogue:

Dude is tall. Actually started the interview off with "Jesus, why the hell are you so tall?" Didn't make the final cut, though.

Volition is right here in town for me. Never been over there though. Was supposed to go for a field trip last semester, but it didn't work out.

If you ever need a man in the field at their offices in the next two years let me know.
