According to this story on IGN, we'll be seeing a third Red Faction game. Commenting on THQ plans for game sequels CEO Brian Farrell had this to say to investors "Saints Row, Stuntman, which will be released this year, Juiced, which is a sequel to the product we launched a couple years ago, Destroy All Humans, MX, and my favorite, Red Faction."

Guys, much like everyone else, I would love to see Freespace 3, but doesn't Interplay have the rights to the IP still? Last time I heard, Derek Smart was trying to buy it...**shudder**

I loved the original PC version of Red Faction. It was great. Then when RF2 came out. I bought the PC version since I'm a big Volition fan, only to realize that it was the bastard version.

Volition is such a great developer of some Sci-Fi IP's and THQ just has them making the Punisher game (Which was fun, but not great) and GTA clones. There are more than enough mediocre developers that can handle that. Why don't they let Volition actually pump out something great like their past games.

Someone might want to make an addendum to this news item.

There's not necessarily gonna be an RF3, it was just some THQ bloke saying old favourite franchises like RF could easily be picked up again.

It's ashamed, Red Faction's game engine (someone help me out - the name of it again?) had some incredible potential for its time; nonetheless, even now there are no game engines that can do what it had. Nothing like adding a cheat for maxed rocket ammo or C4 and blowing big-ass holes everywhere.

I just hope with RF3, they take what they had and push it ot the next level.

I remember "digging" holes with rockets and all the weapons I could find and making tunnels that curved upward so I can get on top of multiplayer maps. Best game ever. I'm super excited.

Red Faction will also have a special place in my heart. Thanks to their dodgy netcode, I could play on my 56k modem with 200-400 pings and still own. It was my first real introduction to online play, and I played a ridiculous amount.

... Oh yeah, and like someone said - Red Faction 2 does not exist.
