Red Faction: Armageddon Revealed, Due in 2011

by Alice O'Connor, Jun 07, 2010 7:10am PDT

The fourth instalment of Volition's Red Faction franchise will be named Red Faction: Armageddon and see the smash-happy shooter series returning underground, publisher THQ has announced.

Set fifty years after the events of Red Faction: Guerrilla, Armageddon will see the plucky Martian colonists returning to the tunnels that played host to the first two Red Faction games, only to discover that there is indeed life on Mars--and it's none too friendly.

As well as smashing things down--courtesy of the Geo-Mod 2.0 engine again--Armageddon will let players reconstruct structures using the 'Nano Forge' gizmo, which also offers other abilities including a "Magnet Gun."

Red Faction: Armageddon is slated to hit PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in March 2011.

guerilla was so much fun, the walkers and the destruction that you caused with them could be played over and over again.

OH MAN hell yes. Critics be damned, Red Faction Guerrilla was my favorite PC from game last year, by a massively wide margin. I hadn't had that much fun with any game since TF2's release.

Consequently, RF Guerrilla will be the first game I play after I complete my new rig; going from a Q6600 w/GTX 280 to a Phenom II X6 1090T w/GTX 480 SLI. I'll finally be able to not only max the game at 1920x1200 but also be able to max it with Nvidia 3D Vision enabled, both of which I've been craving to do ever since I first played it.

Guerrilla had the worst intro I've ever seen in a game, cardboard cutoff characters, and razor-thin story. The entire thing is about one gimmick: smashing buildings made out of waffers.

Terrible game.

Love the pattern they're developing here:

Now I could see why Valve hired a professional writer (Marc Laidlaw) when they did HL1.

I wonder if you'll be able to deform terrain again. It would be weird if we were in caves again, three versions of the game later, and we couldn't make holes in cave walls.

Mutants/Aliens again? Really?

I thought the first Red Faction game was great, until 3/4 through the game when you start getting confronted with strange mutants.

Interest level in this game just dropped.
