Volition was hoping to get the jump on Comic Con, which means new media for Red Faction: Armageddon is here for the looking. Previously, they weren't willing to let us stare at this sequel's enemies for very long. This video, on the other hand, is all about showing the creatures -- and how nicely they explode.
I know some of you are wary over the shift to the Mars underground; I am too. Throwing in aliens seems like an odd move -- at least it wasn't zombies -- but it was a move, at any rate. They probably could have tightened up the graphics and left virtually everything else untouched, and we'd eat it up.
Instead, they're going for something else. In my book, experimenting is the better route, even if it ends in "failure."

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Them aliens wont know what him them!
I know it's just a video game, which in the end I will still play, crush things with large hammers, and have a shitload of fun, but if you're going to approach a larger story arc without respect to common sense or the genre, then the least you could do is make it look a lot less serious.
I liked Guerrilla, and I'll wait until this comes out to judge it, but I don't really want Dead Space in my Red Faction.
Please don't disappoint us, Volition.
