Welcome back to Mars: New Red Faction: Guerrilla footage

When I first heard word of a new Red Faction game, I wasn't too excited. I absolutely adored the first Red Faction, but the second one destroyed my love for the series (plus, it doesn't help that Red Faction 1 does not stand the test of time). After reading Nick Chester's preview of Red Faction 3, I got excited, but I was still a little skeptical.

This new preview from IGN has me completely excited for the game now. The big changes to the series look so good: the third-person view, open-world exploration and real-life destruction physics have put the game on my radar. My only question now is whether I’ll still have the ability to just make endless tunnels to nowhere, like in the first game.

[Thanks, Zulu!]

Yeah this trailer definitely got me pumped. Had a lot of fond memories of the first game and making bridges collapse with troops still on them.

This is gonna be so awesome, I read an article about how they had to send all their leveldesigners to a course about building structurally sounds buildings since their engine is so realistic in collapsing buildings, the default setup that most games use for buildings just didn't cut it, the moment they 'started' the game, most buildings would just collapse :-)

It's looking pretty fucking good. I'm excited to mess with the physics since it sounds pretty realistic. The way the open world system sounds slightly unique too.

I'm excited for this one. The original was a damn fine game but I never checked out the sequel. I really like where they are going with the story in this new one, even if its not the most original thing going.

As a lover of Freedom Fighters, this makes me happy.

I heartily approve in the increase in frequency of games with destructible structures/terrain. Soon it will hopefully be the norm.

I just want to hop in a mech and take down buildings.

This is looking to be a pretty sweet title, I really loved the 1st one (2nd not so much) as building tunnles in multi-player was tons of fun!

@mistic

That's pretty amazing news.
