Red Faction: Armageddon - Megathread - Out Now!

[BlueCali]

​

THQ will be shining the light on their new Red Faction title slightly sooner than expected; previously though to be an E3 reveal, the new game will instead be unveiled later this month, CEO Brian Farrell said today.

While discussing creating launch demand for all their future core titles on the company’s earnings call today, the executive said that we should see what he means later this month.

“I think you’ll see that in spades,” Farrell said. “You’ll see it in the way we unveil [the next Red Faction] later this month.”

Details on the title are still scarce, though Farrel did add that it builds on one of the weaker points of last year’s Red Faction: Guerrilla — the storyline.

“Red Faction’s always been a technological showpiece, and we wanted to add production values in terms of story and environment this year. And when you see the new Red Faction, it’s just a much more appealing game universe.”

--
Red Faction Armageddon is the follow-up to last year's surprise hit, Guerilla. Those hoping for more free-wheeling action under a Martian sky may be in for a rude shock.

The game's instead gone underground, having made a sharp turn at Survival Horror Boulevard. Sweeping vistas are being swapped out for underground chambers, and while this may seem a regression from Guerilla's open-world mayhem, remember that a large portion of that game's "world" were actually inaccessible corridors.

very close to just need 2 more trophies. One I can easily get today, the other I gotta do 25 revives ... maybe I will today if I host my own infestation room and put it on hardcore difficulty and let the poor randoms get their asses handed to them lol. (so I can revive)

 

[Wreck]

RFA is mine!

 

[garden_diva]

Congrats!!!

FYI on the infestation maps, you know how you gotta beat level 5 to unlock the dark maps. You can do it all by yourself in a private hosted match if you have trouble getting people to stay.

 

[garden_diva]

i just need to do the 25 revives and have a 4 person squad make it to level 9 w/o anyone bleeding out. should be done today

 

[garden_diva]

How do you get a match with 3 other people?? Ive been trying to join but the host just sits there.

 

[Wreck]

I can help with the bleeding out trophy.

Also the best way to get 4 , is to to be the host yourself, then wait till u got 4 in there. Who know syou may accomplish that before I get on tonight, but if not I can help. Then I can just die a crap load on next match and u revive me.

If im not there tho, host a match and stick it on level 9 and on insane difficulty ... then sabotage yoru team mates and dont kill many aliens LOL ... let them go down and get your revives in.

Congrats Divanator!

I'll be working on it from time to time now.

 

[Wreck]

Have you been playing some RFG ? Those trophy icons look familiar! Do you and Diva have 2 RFG games or share just one?

 

[Off_contstantly]

I would hope they look familliar. They are RFG. We did the 1 hour full game trial through PS+, and then decided to just pick up another copy. We're both going to try and get the since there really isn't anything coming out that we really want for awhile.

Sweet, I'll play online when I see you guys online.
