Shack PSA: First Two Red Factions Free with Guerrilla PC Pre-Order on Impulse

Related Topics – Red Faction: Guerrilla, Impulse, PC

Digital distributor Impulse is sowing seeds of destruction by offering the first two Red Faction titles for free with PC pre-orders of Volition's shooter Red Faction: Guerrilla.

While Guerrilla focuses on demolishing constructions in the third person, 2001's Red Faction and 2002's Red Faction 2 delighted in exploding environments from a first-person perspective, complete with a terrain destruction engine.

Buy this mayhem, get this destruction free.

However, Impulse notes you will not receive the two games until you are charged for your $39.99 Guerrilla pre-order--which will only happen when Guerrilla arrives. Publisher THQ hasn't confirmed the PC release date quite yet--the console editions arrived in early June--but several retailers, Impulse included, expect it to arrive on August 25.

I played the first Red Faction until the train sequence with the enemies that had railguns. An on-rails (no pun intended) shooter with enemies that could see you and shoot you through walls with near-instant-death weapons just wasn't much fun.

I didn't even know there was a Red Faction 2. I thought Guerilla (which is excellent, and a friend of mine worked on) was the 2nd in the series.

I'm currently on the last boss on Red Faction 2. Fuck that guy. He's in a power armor suit and as soon as you destroy that suit, the very second, he pops out and rail guns you to death. You have to jump up or something at that exact second or you die instantly. It's such a shit move on the developers' part.

I like it enough on 360 to get it on PC and sell the 360 copy back, if it's a good port.

I heard horror stories about Saint's Row 2 PC though. I'm gonna let somebody else be the guinea pig before I spend any money on RFG PC.

When I play Red Faction 1 it always goes silent when I get far in the game. It happened back when it was released, it happened 5 years ago on an entirely different pc, and there is no mention on the internet of this happening to anyone else.

Worst mystery ever. Playing games with no sound sucks, but when you actually really do it, then you KNOW it sucks.

I would think the point of getting the old ones is to play them before the new one comes out.
