Red Faction: Guerilla Multiplayer Media Surfaces

hahaha

One of the players is named Jack Thompson

Is this Red Faction? I didn't see any holes in the ground, or crumbling walls?

damn this game is brown

Woah what the hell? New Red Faction?

I can't watch the video now, I'll do it later...but seriously, how did I miss this?

OK, just played this for about half an hour. Its fun as hell.

While I havent got a handle on all the weapons yet one factor that puts this above your average deathmatch is the use of backpacks. not just one kind but several from what I've seen so far. They imbue the player with the abolity to do things like increase running speed (named "fleetfoot"), one named "Rhino" powers you up for a fast dash that destroys anything in your path (buildings, players, etc), a limited jetpack that gives you the ability to jump up to high places, one called "concussion" that knocks down any players within the vicinity allowing you to put the pick-axe to them, one that increases your firepower. All have a limited power supply that, once exahasted, takes several seconds to recharge. You can swap them whenever you get to a supply station.

The weapons feel good with some nice feedback and sound.

The only real downside is the performance is still quite rough. Also, as we've seen in screenshots, the graphics aren't exactly state-of-the-art (due to the amount of resources the physics must be taking from the hardware I'd guess).

Otherwise its a blast. Established developers should take a lesson from these guys and realize that simple player vs player DM can still be a lotsa fun.

Been playing the Fileplanet Multiplayer Beta all morning. It's a pretty fun game. Don't think it's worth $60 though, sadly. Unless the single player is just fantastic(which I doubt it will be..)

Destructible terrain, as always in Red Faction games. The hammer is a nice touch, takes down walls. And you use it to capture a point by destroying it, and then rebuilding it.

Those snippets are absolutely useless - give us 10 minutes of game footage that isn't chopped up every 5 seconds. Gameplay reminds me a little of lost planet - which played like crap on the 360 gamepad - small reticle - incredibly small targets.

This is the first game that intriguies me again about destructable environments. The developer movie showing off the destruction pretty much proved the full physics are in effect, however how will the gameplay fair? It has been awhile since this type of technology has been billed to push the hype for a game with Mercenaries 2 beinge the first game in this generation to push the physics envelope this month, so we will be able to have a taste of current generation physics in effect. We need that next push, Half Life 2 paved the way for physics based gameplay, with Episode 2 proving that contained/scripted destruction is available realtime, these games may finally add that interactive layer with gameplay to match.

i got the pickaxe!

The game is a lot more fun than I was expecting.
